A bar of soap. So funny and so mean at the same time.
Good to see a post from PT. I pulled up the blog recently to make sure my email notifications were still working. Worried I might be missing your posts. Good to know I haven’t been. You just have a life.
You just have a life.
As if.
But still, you’re kind.
That Far Side cartoon is one of the three greatest. I reference it whenever I see someone push a pull door.
By the way, stay away from that Martha Stewart threesome video. Two burly well-dressed men showed up after I watched it and destroyed my computer.
And then made me some delicious scones.
That Far Side cartoon is one of the three greatest.
I would be very interested in hearing your picks. In the meantime, I’ll try to think about mine.
Our tastes in comic strips of a certain era seem to converge in at least two places (and I’ll bet a couple more). However, I’m even more sure that I’m alone in my ten-year dalliance with Mary Worth.
Although I’d love to hear that I’m not. Please somebody tell me that I’m not.
You’re not.
I used to look forward to Dondi in the Sunday comics a long, long time ago.
I need to dust off a Far Side collection I’ve got lying around somewhere or other. Wonderful stuff.
Really enjoyed the headlines.
Thanks, Tom–yeah, I’ve got a few Far Side, Bloom County and Doonsbury books on my shelves, as well as some books of political cartoons (which are cool because they’re from the 1980s and before, so they’re also glimpses back into history. Some historical figures got a lot more cartoon attention than their actual legacy would warrant: I give you Spiro Agnew.
I can recall Dondi, but it was never in any papers I read. I know Dondi was a young man, but that’s all I know. Was it humor, adventure?
Adventure. He was a five-year-old war orphan.
You’re in good form, Smak, but my favorite was the idea of you conceiving your kids in a Dodge Dart — and then suing Chrysler. Twice, right?
Well, once it was the makers of the AMC Pacer, but I consolidated the two for ease of reading.
And I thought doing the wild thing in the back of a ’94 Camry was bad. (It didn’t lead to procreation, though, so I can’t blame Toyota for that. My precious only male child was born in ’91.) Matter of fact, it was good. Probably too good. What a shame that actually happened in late ’93. It’s bad when you have to write in “vicarious” or “I think I might remember that” next to the box marked “sex” when filling out forms. Do I need a life or what?
There are a lot of college educated ditch diggers now. 😦
And I can not for the life of me think of why a 2 year old should need bariatric surgery, unless his fucktard parents let him get SO fat, he was in danger of dying before he could lose the weight himself by actual healthy diet and exercise…. I suppose I might learn something if I actually read the article, huh? lol
It’s called portion control. If your two year old’s rear end is the size of a Toyota Corolla already, maybe think twice before you let him have that entire large supreme pizza for dinner, eh?
It makes me sad when I see how large some of the children around here are. 😦 And even better than portion control would be to get the child some decent exercise!!!
Too many parents are afraid to let their kids outside-and/or are too lazy to get outside and exercise with them. I agree, though, I see some very lardy small children around. You just didn’t see fat kids when I was growing up. Maybe that was because we were poor and you were lucky to eat at all- and your parents made you play outside so you wouldn’t trash the house. If you went missing, oh, well- one less mouth to feed.
I think it was the lack of video games and internet (like you said, they played outside more.) I also seem to remember fat children being few and far between. If one was overweight, he was “the fat kid.” Now, you’re like, “WHICH fat kid?” But at that age, I don’t blame them. Like you said, get your ass outside with your kid (and I do, and it’s gonna SUCK when she drags me out there in the dead of winter this year! lol)
I ended up reading the article, and sadly, it is what I thought…the poor kid had sleep apnea and was now in danger of dying. SUPPOSEDLY they had tried diet but it hadn’t worked (I’m guessing they did not stick to it, because unless he had some sort of physical illness or problem that would keep him from losing, reducing his calorie intake should have almost guaranteed weight loss.)
Explaining “twerking” to one’s parents. I tried to explain what a “blow job” was to my very conservative, very sheltered, very Catholic mother and I thought she was going to have a coronary. Some things are best left unsaid.
Hey Smakington! Glad to see you. Thanks for the laughs!! (I didn’t click the link for big penis, small penis…nope, I sure didn’t.)
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why I can’t comment on your last 2 posts.
Hi tomsimard! I just told him the same thing.
The comment sections are missing from the 2 posts. I’m not sure if he’s doing it intentionally or not. (but I’ll have to get down to the bottom of this) 🙂
Exactly!
My immediate thought when I couldn’t comment on Tommy Lee’s culpability was conspiracy, but now I’m not so sure…
LOL!
Look, Tommy Lee has powerful friends, that’s all I can say.
He must. To think he’s not even mentioned in a footnote in the Warren Commission.
Some conversation topics and parents simply do not mix. Twerking ranks right up there. And the other 3 best Michigan cities are probably in Canada….
