   That must be one ‘a them mean bull-aphids.

   Them ants milk a mean aphid, y’know, and them mean aphids gotta come from somewhere, right?

   Why am I not surprised that nobody is hastening to defend the TPers? Imagine that – few far-right-wing white guys read a comic strip about people of any color other than off-beige.

   As my grandfather liked to say in the wake of some statement of the obvious, “Way-ull, hush mah mouth.” (I’m from NC)

   How about, “My car needs washed?” Or all those superfluous apostrophes – “All girl’s and boy’s should be quiet?” They really drive me banana’s.

   [I did that on purpose. Really. It’s a joke.]

   Ah, marriage. Someone always there to shove their dirty skivvies under the bed so your bedroom smells of his skid marks; expect proof of his masculinity in the form of babies; and let you raise said babies after being dumped for a younger, slimmer girl. No wonder women feel an adjustment in child support is more important than a new boat.

   ses1066, I think it might be “an ‘Acckk’ of God”. Or maybe it’s an audio playback of “Cathy”.

   The most emotional roller coaster I’ve ridden (and I’ve ridden lots) is Mean Streak at Cedar Point. An old-fashioned wood coaster, it’s a titch over a mile long. You keep thinking, “It’s gotta end soon…” and it never seems to!

   It’s the most fun I’ve ever had getting a migraine.

   I second Radish’s nomination. So, he should be the patron saint of what – Twitter twits? Creative reality? RPG-ers?

   gocomicsmember – Presumably, you are including yourself in the “everyone” you “urge to be a little proactive.” Your intention of searching doesn’t count.

   Unlike you, I carried through my intention even before I got here. I found some nifty stuff, which I cheerfully share with those who don’t have the time, knowledge, or inclination to run searches on their own.

   This has a truly nifty set of images:

   This has a cool local POV:

   And this offers an update:

   Now, if this comic strip doesn’t generate some tourism for Binghamton, I’ll be very surprised! There’re loads of BC fans out there.

   Hugh, dang it, just as I was recovering from my previous sinus power-wash, you go and do it to me again.

   Very cute. Very, very cute.

    Since I’ve been reading a lot about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, I nearly snorted my Beverage Of Choice out my nose. Ouch. Talk about synchronicity….

    GreenBikeGuy – Yeah, I’ve heard the same thing. I’m just starting a new book about it. I adore the title – Sayonara, Michelangelo.

    Some experts, however, are in agreement with Valis616. If anyone’s interested, wb.

    Joe D – You define “Bible” too narrowly. It’s not in your Protestant Bible. Everything on the ceiling (except, I think, one of the Sybils) is indeed in the Catholic Old Testament, as well as the Jewish Bible, which is yet another thing.

    If you’re going to set yourself up as an authority, make sure you’re using appropriate source material. You aren’t, so take a powder, Bubba.
