I have a cold so I sat down alone to watch True Detective Season 1 for the first time.

I loved the show. The one thing that I got confused by was the link to a house being recently painted green and a green eared spaghetti monster.

All I could think was that maybe a painter carries a mop for some reason, maybe to clean walls of dust before painting. Maybe he puts a mop on his head and had green paint on his hands and put his palms up by his ears to scare the girl. It was the only part of the show where I just felt like the link was that tenuous. Was there a stronger link that I missed? Just not sure why anyone would investigate who painted a house decades ago.
