Colin doesn’t have much of a sense of self-preservation right now.
@Jordan
If he dies, he dies.
It will be worth it.
Well, his senses are addled by his own mortality.
And probably the preop medications. Usually pretty strong narcotics. Demerol is a fave.
So THAT’S why I felt all funny.
Yeah. The point is, even though the patient is ‘asleep,’ the general anesthetic by itself doesn’t block pain. Ketamine, for instance, induces a trance-like state but has no effect on pain. So if you give the patient narcotics like Demerol an hour before the induction, it has the time to build up its maximum pain-relief. This lessens the chance of the patient waking during the procedure or having pain-memories. Also another reason to use good old amnesia-inducing Versed as an inducing agent.
yea they had me pretty doped up when i went in for my cancer surgery and was a little odd in my choice of words at times too.
We can’t be judged too harshly.
@Susan
Baldie tells me Budweiser (oh, that is A-MER-I-KAN for Moulson, or whatever awful swill passes for beer up yonda in EG-Land) blocks pain pretty well.
At one time he was gulping CAPTAIN MORGAN, but after a few Night Terrors involving “WALKING THE PLANK” he swore it off.
Tells me his dreams involving the Clydesdales are far less threatening.
SAFE SPACE ! SAFE SPACE !!
(he was considering buying some SOUTHERN COMFORT, but his co-workers told him it is no longer PC to do so)
Let’s be honest: Bud and Molson Canadian are both swill, and in a lot of taste tests, Americans and Canadians really can’t tell the difference.
@EG
Between you and me, I don’t think Baldie really had an issue with the flavor of Molson.
It was more likely the Night Terrors, where after a six-pack he’d wake up screaming that Lumberjacks were chasing him – I’M NOT A TREE – I’M NOT A TREE !!!
I don’t mind either. I have a thing for light, crisp lagers. Not that I’ve actually had a drink in the past decade, though. So maybe I need to stop offering my opinions on drinks.
@EG
Not drinking is a good thing.
But your opinions can still be valid.
I, for instance, am convinced Lobster is over-rated. So I won’t even try it !
I HAVE tried lobster. And do agree with you that it’s overrated. (It’s not bad; I’d just be equally happy with shrimp.)
The heck with beer. Go straight to Scotch. Gives you most bang for your buck. Or would if I was paying for it. (My bf buys Glenfiddich by the case) Heh, you should have seen what Autocorrect tried to do to that.
I did enjoy the odd shot of Scotch when I was younger, back when my creative process involved mixing coffee with alcohol. I’ve stopped that.
@EG
That is the best explanation of the genesis of Daphne that I have evah read !
Yes, for posterity ?
( and mebe for sumting else… )
I already beat you to that joke in the alt-text.
@EG
Where do you think I stole the inspiration ?
heh heh
(Anyhoo, people using “Smart” Fones are always complaining Alt-Text doesn’t work for them.)
@EG
Those same people don’t realize if they use the Netscape Navigator Browser, and hover over Phoebe’s uniform, pieces of it disappear temporarily.
Ahhhh….
Netscape Navigator – best $49.95 I evah spent at Radio Shack.
I miss Radio Shack. Up in Canada, they still exist (barely) but they underwent a rebranding about eight years ago, and are now called ‘The Source’. (Source of what, they don’t say.) It hasn’t been the same since.
Netscpae Navigator is truly the browser of the future.
….did Gecho draw that…?
Colin dies from Phoebe’s sexiness instead of operation complications, the end.
That’s not a bad end, I suppose.
@Juju
Since TRACEEE has even larger bewbs, it is a good thing Colin keeps his distance !
Bewb Size of all major female characters in decreasing order: Tracee, Phoebe, Robin, Daphne, Miranda.
Don’t forget Colin! (I bet uniballers count as females)
@Buggle
I was trying to be merciful.
Thank you for taking up the slack !
I think he ranks just above Miranda on the scale…
I like that he at least mentioned his baby and Daphne before Phoebe’s boobage…
Well, he does have some priorities.
Love Phoebe as Morticia
(I have femslash to write now…)
You have fun with that writing task.
Oh I will – you can count on it~! 😛
Well, we just have to make sure that Colin doesn’t get to eat with SalemCat at Moxie’s West Georgia.
I don’t think I’m ‘in’ enough to get this in-joke.
@EG
That’s what makes it so grand !
Bah, Humbug. And yet you claim to live up in the Great White North, eh?
Well, if he survived the Affair of the Amusement Park, his chances of sudden death are limited to the operation.
His theme song is by Gloria Gaynor, then?
In the fact of death, some men choose foolishly.
Oh Colin! with just a little more experience you might have learned that the way to survive having a platonic friend who is way way hotter than your (common-law) wife is never ever even to hint at anything. That way you can innocently ask Phoebe to do anything as a friend … let us say … hand you your slippers, which have slid conveniently under the bed … and none can gainsay that which innocently comes into view.
No-one is fooled, but the proprieties are observed – for the operating element of “Plausible deniability” is not “plausibility” but “denial”.
Poor Colin! Now he has double the chances of having an important bit of flesh removed, but Puck wouldn’t be using anesthesia.
You, sir, are so wise. Sadly, it’s way too late for any of that appropriateness for Colin. He stepped off the bus of propriety the very first time he saw her.
Good thing for him Mr. Hammer doesn’t fit in Puck’s handbag!
That’s Mr SMACKY to you.
MR SMACKY
@EG
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen Colin EVER drool after Robin the way he does for Phoebe HERE.
Only the first of dozens.
As my bf would say, “You don’t drool at the meat and potatoes you get for dinner every day. Unless you are very hungry. Which I now am. So, when’s dinner?”
Not till after “Dancing With the Stars” is over, big guy.
@Susan
I dunno….
I drool pretty much all the time.
(it’s a medical issue, thank yew very much)
🙁
Well, true enough. I mean, Colin’s in a unique scenario where he has some extremely forbidden fruit living in his house every single day. I’m not sure what that does to a guy.
Well, he didn’t make his case any better by using the word ‘adorable’ to describe that particular forbidden fruit. ‘Adorable’ is only allowed straight adult males in the case of children and puppies.
But when dealing with a woman like Phoebe, it’s best to keep your words in the ‘adorable’ vein: guys have words for outfits like that, certainly, but they really shouldn’t be said in civil company. So let’s temporarily act like she’s a puppy to defuse the situation.
@Susan
“Puppy” ?
Funny you should mention that.
There may be a genuine PUPPY just a bit to the left in that panel.
Maybe in Canada, ‘adorable’ is a neutral, admiring word, but not in Texas! He would have been better off using ‘retro’ or even ‘snazzy,’ with a hint of a smile. The last 100 time I heard ‘adorable’ used, it was by females of about my age talking about clothes, purses, shoes (though ‘cute’ is more commonly considered appropriate). It is used to describe women of about our age, whom one admires and thins is sweet. The last time I heard a man use ‘adorable, he was a male nurse and…um, never mind.
Well, obviously I need to return my man card because I flunked the test.
thins=thinks. Curse you, autocorrect!
Well, not literally….
Over on “Bad Machinery” at GoComics somebody called Selkie ‘adorable’ (and I seconded) but I have no way of knowing what persuasion that poster is
Yes Col, the uniform may be cool, but that’s still one of the tamer outfits she’s worn.
True enough.
On one hand, I can’t blame Colin for wanting some final moments of eye candy before he goes under surgery (though as Puck says, it’s a very low chance of him dying).
On the other hand, his odds of dying (again, like Puck says) increases DRAMATICALLY with that kind of attitude.
I felt as if Phoebe’s face in panel 4 was a mix of “Wait, what am I supposed to do now?” and “Hm, maybe I will do it”. Not sure if that was what you were going for, but it did make me chuckle.
Phoebe’s expressions are always fun for me. I generally like to imagine that she’s always slightly confused by most things in life. But yes, I was going for exactly that in panel four.
@EG
OMG
I just realized that with the Netscape Navigator Browser, and I paw CTRL-S (spin) while hovering on Phoebe, she does a graceful 360, with a very sly SMILE.
(eat your heart out, reality !)
Are you joshing us with something you wish existed, or is this a real thing?
@Buggle
Pshaw !
Like I’D know the difference !
True, your perception of reality is even more fluid than mine…
@Kaiser
Is Robin balling up BOTH FISTS ?
Then who’s holding Miranda !
Who says you can’t hold a baby (or anything) with clenched fists? The arms and forearms do most of the work, and Puck is sitting down. But maybe nor for long, in which case, Miranda is on her own.
Puck is definitely practiced in the art of threatening violence when carrying a child. For actual perpetration of said violence, she usually passes the kid off.
a la “Hold my baby.” 😛
(Help a pal out, Salem?)
@Buggle
I fear next week will begin with Where’s Miranda ?
“My Baby ! MY BABY !!”
Mebe the Dingo ate chor Baby”
@Buggle
There IS a Dingo in the room.
Is that what Daffy is? I thought she was a jackal. 😛
Not what I meant, but acceptable! And Daphne doesn’t eat babies – she subsists off of cheetos and burgers!
@Buggle
CHEETOS are made from Babies.
I’m embarrassed for you.
And HAMBURGERS are made from HAM .
As far as HOT DOGS go… (shudder).
Well then she wouldn’t have eaten Miranda, would she? Not with plenty of Cheetos around.
I just hope that the next strip is four panels of Phoebe’s slow 360 spin around.
Well, given the fact that people have been already giving me grief for drawing things out, I won’t. Though it would be fun to try generating an animated rotation, I must admit.
@Del
Can we extend that to the next FOUR Weeks !
No animated rotations! I had enough fun watching Phloeble’s eyebrows wisening more and more. Watch it, kiddo, you’ll get wrinkles.
Well, she may be wrinkle-proof. The verdict is out on her immortality factor.
See, thatone reason is why I think Phloebles is adorable. Which is not the reason Colin means, and Puck knows it.
@EG
Thousands of fans (ok, it was just me), have requested visible (thru the cloth) nibble- bumps on Phoebe.
We all know that will not happen – so ……
A great many well-endowed women have those sweet little horizontal stretch-marks displayed in the cloth between “the girls”.
Mebe ?
( O M G – NO NO NO NO – I retract – RETRACT !! Put away that Squirt Gun. You know how much I hate getting wet !! )
Oh, that’s why you use it. Makes Sense.
(cat has cooled down considerably – whiskers dripping now)
@EG
Well, I should simply be content that Phoebe, unlike the vintage Barbara Eden, has a Belly Button.
In her classic TV Show, “I DREAM OF JEANNIE”, a visible female navel was considerd far too risque.
And was surgically removed. Ask anybody.
Wouldn’t that have left a scar? (Susan?)
@Buggle
The scar was surgically removed as well.
DUH !
Definitely. Though Barbara Eden lived in La La Land, home of the plastic surgeon, so you might not be able to see it, what with concealer and vaseline on camera lenses.
@Susan
IRL Makeup just used some soft wax to fill it and brushed it with color.
After her show ended she was photographed frequently with a button.
A very nice button.
How is a belly button risque? It’s the least titillating thing on the human body…
(Well, one of the least titillating things)
Also, Phoebe’s button looks kinda weird in this comic.
With Halloween, and then Thanksgiving tagging behind (at least in America), the Cat’s thoughts tend to TRICKS & TREATS (as in food – yumm).
And also activities that may be part of one character’s routine. So…
There was a half dog from Nantucket
An ear of fresh corn – she could shuck it !
With cooking skills keen
Twas fit for a Queen !
But given an egg would but chuck it
There was a jackal-girl thought to be handsome,
Who got stuck sneaking over a transom.
When she offered Tyler much gold
For release, she was told
That the view was worth more than the ransom. 😛
@Susan
Well done !
You’ve broken the “Nantucket Barrier”.
Let the Limericks prosper !
There once was a fairy named Puck
Who lived with a guy she …
(rest of limerick deleted)
@Susan
There once was a fairy named Puck
Who lived with a guy she would ……
Hmmm… This is a Brain-Scratcher…..
Nope, I can’t think of anything either.
There was a sweet devil named Phoebe,
Who served a cute guy named Jim Bebee.
She said, “It’s Howlers, not Hooters,
So if you buy us both shooters…
(rest of limerick deleted)
Lemme see if I can take a crack at it…
Once there was a lizard cartoonist,
Who drew fairies and she-devils the fairest
Lo, ginormous boobs did abound,
As he made jokes ’bout things that were round,
While others might ask how he darest!
😛 😛
I can’t help but notice that his lovely wife and the mother of his child doesn’t seem to have made Colin’s visual bucket list.
He’d best correct that quickly with a sudden “But the sight I’d miss MOST of all is obviously…”
…Or puck is going to perform his operation manually, in record time, without sanitized tools, much less anesthetic.
RIIIIIP!
Colin: “AAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Puck: “There you go. Operation over. Stitch him up and let’s go home.”
Doctor: “Um… miss?”
Puck: “WHAT?!”
Doctor: “…it was the OTHER testicle that was cancerous.”
Puck: “…”
Colin: (sobbing)
@Hinoron
Now THAT was funny !
Colin: “Oh come on! Won’t it be much easier to operate on my —– if my —– is ——- out of the way? Back me up, Doc!”
Doctor: “If you try to use me as a human shield between you and the redhead again, I’m adding $1000 to the cost of your operation for reckless endangerment.”
@Hinoron
Can that be expressed as a Limerick ?
There was a young man named Colin
See ?
They all say it’s the first line of a story that’s the toughest/
So from there on in – smooth sailin’ !
There was a young man named Colin,
Who thought that his junk was just ballin’
But lickity-split,
Before his girlfriend could hit,
One of his boys had suddenly fallen.
😛
@Buggle
😛
That one was better.
Huh… apparently these comments have a language filter. Did not know that. I’m not prone to excessive profanity, but we ARE talking about Colin’s beloved junk today, and I can’t imagine him describing them with clinical terms.
I am the language filter. In fact, I found your comment in the ‘trash’ section because my auto-filters sent it there. (I have the ‘p’ word blocked because you have NO IDEA how many ‘enhancer’ ads I get spammed with every day). But I took the comment and just filtered it a bit. Always gotta think about those ad bots.
I am not offended. I too get irrationally angry when I see adbots in comments.
Thank you for rescuing mine. I wonder if it’s still understandable as-is though.
Basically I had Colin suggest the surgeon might have an easier time operating if his flagpole was upright and unobstructive.
(The doctor would then assure him that he’s not nearly large enough for that to be a serious inconvenience.) ^_^
And to think last year at this time Phoebe and Gollum were getting ready to “tie the knot”.
I guess it just didn’t work out.
Mebe Gollum’s dad just wouldn’t bless the union. I certainly can’t see Satan (Mel to his friends) objecting.
So sad.
Ancient callback…
Wait a minnit! Have we known each other for a YEAR?!
@Buggle
Yeah, most people tell me a mere moment with me drags on like a century.
That’s good, right ?
*pat pat* You keep telling yourself that
There once was a schleppy named Colin
Who developed a growth near his column
Twas discovered by Robin
The surgeon went bobbin’
And now he is very crestfallen.
That’s gold. Seriously, that’s a solid, solid limerick.
There once was an artist called Gecko
Who said to himself, “What the heck!! Oh,
I’ll draw my fave redhead
As her boyfriend “Col” feels dead,
Ogles Pheebs, and gets it in the neck. Ho!”
This is shakier.
There once was a child named Miranda,
Who said as she ripped up her panda,
“Though my ears may be pointed,
I’m quite double jointed.
Talk of weakness is just propaganda.”
And back on form. Brilliant.
@EG
Brilliant ++++
*Liked
*beams* Thank you, thank you!
*throws rose petals up onto the stage*
Wow !
Susan takes on THREE Characters with ease !
The Miranda is BEST. Not just for its novelty, either.
It has the right “tude”, and perfect cadence.
Now one for TRACEEE – pleeze ?
I’ll try, though “There once was a chippy named Tracee” doesn’t exactly make my muse sing 😛
@Susan
I’m musing on one.
I don’t think it will scoot past the censors, howevah.
Oh, all right!
There once was a chippy named Tracee,
Whose manner and thought were both spacey.
She said with a leer,
Pulling her tongue from an ear
“Do this for no dough? That’s just crazy!”
@Susan
You have sunk to depths I had barely imagined.
Keep it up !
😛
Sweet Tracee – quite tasty the Lass
Flax hair, cherry lips, melon a**
Though she was quite fickle
In choosing her pickle
Red Hot Jalepeno at last !

Anyone here worried about (shudder) FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH ?
Baldie is planning to get drunk, climb up a 30′ twisted aluminum ladder, and then lean wayyyyy over with his heavy Gas Chainsaw in an attempt to trim a Maple that’s growing too close to his ruff.
I am very concerned.
😛
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Truly, this is my holiday. Next time I see someone acting like a jerk, I’ll pretend to curse them. That’ll teach them to be a weenie on Friday the 13th!
Live fast die young, and leave a good-looking corpse, as James Dean said. He wasn’t talking about me, of course. I would be a really ugly corpse. Death does not become women over the age of 30. 😛
I used to worry about things like that, but I am no longer superstitious.
@Susan
I’m leaving no corpse.
I plan to ascend, bathed in light, directly into CAT HEAVEN.
(I have a coupon)
My mother is 50 and gorgeous – considering how much you care for your health, I’m sure you’d leave a very pretty corpse. 😛
(Don’t kill me, please – I can’t say the same for me)
I am worried about our friend Puck;
She has trouble just making a buck.
If she’d just work for Howlers
(Without wearing trousers)
I am sure she would have better luck.
😛
I’m certain Colin would understand once the TIPS come pouring in.
@Susan
I’d like to watch.
A+.
Watch out, they’ll make nanoskirts the next uniform!
(Not that I’d complain)
An adorable airhead named Phoebe
Complained she was struck by a BB:
“I don’t complain much,
But this was aimed such
That one side has swelled to a CC.”
A-.
One forgets you are an English teacher. Do I at least get a gold star?
I give out colorful monkey stickers. And yes. You get one.
SQUEEEE!

*Tries to Like, then remembers her Like button is smashed.* D:
Dear Satan had long horns of Bone
He struggled to polish alone
When they showed some tarnish
Tracee grabbed some varnish
And rubbed them right down ’til they shone !
A solid ‘A’. That was a good one.
@EG
Monkey Sticker – Monkey Sticker !
I like it this way ever betta’:
Dear Satan had long horns of Bone
He struggled to polish alone
When they showed tarnish
Tracee grabbed varnish
And rubbed them right down ’til they shone !
That’s better.
Dear Tracee has quite the fine rack
Their large size takes many aback
When Satan paints green
They certainly gleam
Her Surgeon of Plastic’s no quack!
THAT deserves a monkey sticker.
Sweet Phoebe is quite the Conundrum
Does she get IT a lot, some, or none ?
She keeps secrets well
She never will tell
No matter – just keep shakin’ that bum !
Dactylic rhythm’s a bit rocky on this one.
@EG
Agreed.
I’ve discovered it’s similar as to the usage of “AN”.
It’s right when it SOUNDS right.
It’s not simply matching syllable for syllable.
2nd try:
Sweet Phoebe is quite the Conundrum
Does she get IT a lot, some, or none ?
She keeps secrets well
She never will tell
No matter – keep shakin’ that bum !
(not original)
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
0% for plagiarism.
Or:
Sweet Phoebe’s quite the Conundrum
Does she get IT a lot, some, or none ?
She keeps secrets well
She never will tell
Who cares while she’s shakin’ that bum !
Satan finds his garden a chore
Even using his Pitch Fork a bore
Rather take out his Boat
Sail about in the Moat
A Scotch and his arm ’round an “Oar”
Heh Heh Heh
I found a way to sneak in a really bad word.
Heh Heh Heh
“Moat”
heh heh
(that means what I think it means, right ?)
Tracee does like to pose nude,
A habit that some might call rude
But if Satan likes it
Then Phoebe’s teeth she may grit
And Tracee may keep up being lewd.
Fourth verse is a little shaky, but the rest is really good.
I couldn’t think of anything that rhymed and kept up the meter aside from ‘crit’ and not everyone would get that part… 😛
@Buggle
You’ve just earned a discounted Membership in the TRACEEE FAN CLUB – YaY !
*imagines taking home my report card from Gecko’s class* My father: “How come you got an ‘A’ in Comic Limericks but are flunking math?”
If only Comic Limericks was a real class…
I’m sure it is at some universities. Have you seen what passes for post-secondary education these days?
This guy, name of Colin, who’s whining,
About physiologic declining.
And in front of them all,
He’s lamenting a ball,
By wedded bliss fast undermining.
Another poet laureate in our midst. A+.
ARUGULA !
It’s a FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH Curse !!
Every thought that travels through my mind is now in amphibrachs !
It’s a MIND WORM of EVIL !!
A Triskaidekaphobian CURSE
The Limerick Mind Worm is the wurst!
I’ve asked it to stop
Replies “I’m the Boss”
Halp, Halp, Somebuddy – HALP !!!!
Off-rhyme on the fourth verse is sloppy and you didn’t even BOTHER to try rhyming the final verse. Seriously, somebody help this man with his poetry!
Wait…
I’d say it’s a combo of the pre-op meds and Colin just being Colin (plus understandable stress) that led to his survival chances dropping just now. Still, let’s hope the prep team comes to collect him before Puck shoos everyone else out so the two of them can have some “quality time”…
I like how you give Colin some cred here. It’s probably more than he deserves.
Ever try to make love with 100 mg of Demerol and 100 mg of Vistaril swirling around your capillaries? My bf says he tried it and no joy. I’ve never had that much, but I was all “look at the pretty flowers behind my eyelids…” after my preop for my rhinoplasty.
I think he meant ‘quality time’ as in ‘leave me alone while I beat him senseless’
Poor Colin. The thought of him figuratively “going off at half-cocked” in the future has him “going off at half-cocked” in the present in a literal sense…
Now that Colin has shot his bolt, Phoebe can not be a person that would not grant a reasonable last request, would she?.
Well, I don’t think he’s shooting his last bolt in any capacity. Unless Puck kills him. Then maybe.
I suspect Phloeble’s response to any such request would be, “Ew, no!”
@Susan
That’s the difference between Phoebe and TRACEEE.
TRACEEE: “Of course, sweetie. But first, just sign here.”
COLIN: “What am I signing ?”
TRACEEE: “Just your WILL, silly goose !”
Now I have to write fanfic about Tracee’s backstory as a black widow…
I think she would tastefully skip the ‘ew’ part but keep the ‘no.’
Well you’re the expert. But I bet she would think it.
Oh, most definitely.
Considering that Phoebe’s income from Howler’s is such that Phoebe is prepared to blow 150 Grand in 2013 dollars, I think Phoebe does slow 360 spins all the time there…
@Jordan
There’s little doubt !
Well, it’s investing 150 grand. And seeing as that house, even located in the problematic neighborhood it’s in, is now probably worth at least twice that, it’s really not a bad investment.
Gecko: It is only investing when you get money – at least in the form of interest – back.
When you get NO money back, it is called “blowing”…
@Jordan
Surprising no one is going with:
“Silly boy 🙂 ! As if you didn’t see plenty of me this week at HOWLERS.”
“You eat so many Buffalo Chicken Fingers there I’m surprised you’ve not grown FEATHERS yet !”
@SalemCat
No, that would be “Cooking Colin’s Goose”…
Our Phoebe was shown to be bustier,
So Colin was shown to be lustier.
And, so, his remarks
Threw out a few sparks,
And Puck found the comment disgustier.
It may not be the best limerick so far, but … actually, it might be the best limerick so far. I salute you!
Oh, it most certainly DOES NOT compare to “Dear Tracee has quite the fine rack”.
TRACEEE !!!!!!
I knew I could do better if I had a little more time.

A CARTOON TRAGEDY
How sad ! Charles Schultz, of PEANUTS,had his home burn down during the California Wildfires.
Of course, he had passed some time ago, but his widow reports the property was crammed with original art and memorabilia. Wow.
I’m betting even the infamous BANNED PEANUTS books were destroyed.
Here’s ONE that survived the inferno.
Whoa. Didn’t know that some Peanuts comics were actually funny!
But seriously, that’s pretty awful. We all hang our heads in a moment of comic strip silence. (Duration: two panels.)
I believe Charles Schultz would have been (is) amused.
Evidence: Reading today’s “Peanuts” on GoComics I “LOL’ed hysterically” for a minute solid. According to the woman in the next cube.
Is their any doubt that in 2107 he would be crucified as a NAZTI Sympathizer due to his GERMAN RED BARON character ?
RED BARON
Yes, I am 100% convinced that no one would be allowed to find “Humor” in those strips today.
(sad)
Red Baron was WWI. No Naztis.
@EG
You know that, and I know that, but these days in the USA it’s become pretty much a generic term to label anyone you disagree with as.
The actual NAZTI Party was very difficult – and expensive – to join. There were extensive background checks, initiation fees, dues, and responsibilities.
I’d like to be wrong, but I don’t see many vintage, once popular, TV SHows and Movies being allowed today.
Hogan’s Heroes, F-Troop, Blazing Saddles, Dukes of Hazard, Amos & Andy, and on and on and on.
I’d like to think Snoopy and The Red Baron would sneak by. And maybe it would. Here in the USA they sell RED BARON PIZZA !
Who knew he was a Pilot AND a Chef ?
I’ve even heard people complain about SANFORD & SON.
That show was genius !
I’m beating a dead horse here (which is not nice, especially if it was my beating that lead to his demise), but check out Arte Johnson & Peter Sellers in THIS BIT.
Baldies tells me it was an ongoing skit in a TV Show his Dad loved: Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.
I don’t think a Comedy Skit featuring WWII German Soldiers would be allowed today.
But this show aired just a hair over two decades past WWII. The majority of the audience had lived through that horror; many as actual combatants.
Common Sense would tell us that if it were ok with them, it should be ok with people far removed from that war, who experienced it solely through history books.
Snoopy shot at the Red Baron. He wasn’t the Red Baron. “Curse you, Red Baron!” Anyway, the Red Baron never appeared in anything but Snoopy’s imagination. I never watch TV except “Leave It To Beaver”, “Buffy,” and “Angel” reruns. My friends seem to like “Orange Is the New Black”. Some people like “A Game of Thrones” but I loathe it.
You’re missing so much good TV Susan. Like… I can’t think of anything. You could always make a Netlfix account and watch their Marvel series.
Nice suggestion, and I do have a Netflix account. Where so you think I get my “Leave It To Beaver”, “Buffy,” and “Angel” reruns?
But I can’t stand costume superheroes. Or heroines.

In an earlier life, I loved Scrooge McDuck and his adventures. Still do.
But Superman, Batman, Spiderman were just so damn silly and unrealistic in every way – I liked them only briefly. And then they sucked.
At least the talking ducks had honest emotions, and when you got past the part where they were talking animals that lacked pants, were pretty real to me.
A talking animal that lacks pants – why would that appeal to me ?
(oh yeah…)
Yeah, the Marvel Netflix series are good! You can’t go wrong there! Except the second half of Daredevil season two, which kinda went wrong. And the second half of Luke Cage, which also went kinda wrong. And all of Iron Fist, which went REALLY wrong. And … I guess parts of Defenders were pretty good.
On second thought, you’re not really missing much.
@Susan
But the RED BARON did have a song !
The Story of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron
Meh, I’ve heard it. And the Christmas one. Doesn’t mean Schultz was involved, except to cash the royalty checks.
@Susan
Baldie tells me that compared to most sixties bands, The Royal Guardsmen were pure genius.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more,
The sicko called Colin was trying hard to score.
Many men risk all, just to see abreast,
But Colin will keep one, and lose the rest.
That is NOT a limerick. But it’s got a jaunty rhythm.
I like it, too !
@Susan
Baldie won’t let me watch “Game of Thrones”.
Sez it would give me ideas.
Well at least I know that Colin has a pulse…
Phoebe’s fine and her choice of attire just amplifies the fineness… 😉
I find the concept of describing this outfit as ‘attire’ to be inherently funny. Nothing this trashy should ever have a classy word like ‘attire’ attached to it.
Maybe “skanky outfit?” Nah. Phoebles would turn any outfit from “skanky” to “sexy” at the least. Maybe even “alluring.” 😛
To be fair, if I thought I might die in just a few moments, I’d want to look at a Hooter’s (er, I mean Howler’s) girl’s butt, too, fiance being present, or not. She knows me, and she knows that even if I don’t touch, I am highly probable to look.
Well, you have a fiancee who understands the inherent ogle factor in guys. That is good.
