Calgon Tropical Dream Gift Set

early 2000s

One remains distant from those he cares about, while still caring about those things against his will.

The other remains close to the things he thinks will bring him the will to care, but never do.

Each has something that the other wants and it's tearing me apart from the inside out.

It all becomes clear now. Roy disposes of dead bodies by dumping them in the well under the windmill (which is used to pump well water).

Quicklime (calcium oxide) is then poured on the bodies to minimize the odor and decompose them faster.

Calgon is a portmanteau derived from the phrase "calcium gone."

When Dot is taken to the psychiatric unit, she says all she needs is a bath, and Calgon, take me away!

In other words, "Calcium oxide, take away my remains while I lie in 'moist repose.'"

This explains all the bath references; Dot getting in hot water and being plunged back into a life she thought she left behind; the pirate stuff, because LIMEs prevent scurvy; Wink's gimlet lime; the woman named Shea WELLS on "The Jason Show"; and so on.
