This Sunday A&J, complete with the bookends header, is from 10 years ago this month. We know you do things like this. We just know. And now we interrupt this post for this important message: if you haven’t already signed up for an account at GoComics, please consider doing so. GoComics, of course, is the Web site of Universal Uclick, the syndicate that distributes Arlo & Janis and many other great comic features. You can sign up for a free account, which lets you set up your own comics page of strips you want to see every day (Be sure to choose A&J!). A paid account of less than $1 per month enables you to view cartoons without the distraction of ads, and the strips you choose will be emailed to you daily. Of course, you can go to GoComics and view strips without signing up at all, but by signing up—for a free or paid account—you will further help the creators. If you aren’t already a daily visitor to GoComics, I hope you will consider it. The future: it’s coming. Now, back to our regularly scheduled post. We like to think you do.

Eating dinner tonight I had to listen to table behind me playing power ball fantasy. I have been in convenience stores today, already bad. God forbid you want anything besides tickets. I actually bought $10 worth what with I throw that away more frequently than I should.
Don’t consider flowers in backseat thrown away. They make me smile. I remember back in 1980s when I opened an upscale bucket shop the concept of loose flowers was radical. Now I can buy at any Walmart but limited choices.
What, Susie left the nunnery and has discovered another sex?. That is of course were one to know what Susie was to begin with
Partially clothed was what they did a lot of back in my day.
But then most of the “partially clothed” models became “unclothed” models.
Jackie, Susie’s “bio” elements on TDS are “Christian, Medical Technologist, runner, singer, cook, artist, friend, lover, and smartaleck”. One is free to reach one’s own conclusion as to which are authentic and which are spurious.
Also, a cropped head-shot of this image from a t-shirt site is what “Susie” is using as her TDS avatar. It appears to be the same female in another t-shirt “Susie” was using on Book of Faces at one time, IIRC. I guess she just forgot to list “t-shirt model” as part of her bio.

Of course, my avatar on TDS is a WWI fighter pilot, but I don’t believe anyone would think it is supposed to be an actual photo of me, so…
GR, would this be your avatar, the best known WWI ace?

Something different about David Bowie: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/david-bowie-the-man-who-loved-books/
No, Trucker, This Guy™ looked a bit more dashing than Your Guy™.

Come to think of it, I do look somewhat like him, what with the mustache and steely-eyed gaze and all.
Debbe 😉 This can be the cool down from our workout, thereby ending my aerobics class music playlist.

Mark, thank you for posting the link, yesterday, to the u k Telegraph newspaper. The archaeologists’ discoveries of the well preseved Bronze Age village in the fens of East Anglia is fascinating! Most enjoyable to read about and see the photos.
It’s nifty to think that the people who lived there could have been among our own remote ancestors. A lot of mine came from that area. It makes them seem so real to see the actual timbers of their village and the pots they cooked in.
I must confess Snoopy came to mind.
Today was a first in a long time, skinny jeans, skinny sweater, cashmere shawl (not granny at all), cute cap and knee high leather boots! Well, there was more to outfit but I could have modeled it. I noticed my obese doctor who is my daughter’s age isn’t all that taken with me now. I felt good wearing this. Totally age appropriate because it fitted, looked good and no one cares how old I am because I don’t. Ageless.
Got a new cat gifted to me, a munchkin mini cat. Named Sylvester. Past owner was putting it down, beautiful nine month old down playing with my toes. Mackerel tabby mini. Crazy cat lady.
I keep asking my barber to make me look like this guy, but she says she only cuts hair and isn’t a miracle worker:

I registered on GoComics several years ago.
Which is better for the artists? The free or paid version? Or is there no difference because of the advertisements?
Just clicked Go comics to read today’s strip about micro houses and toilet in kitchen and noticed the ad was for cat litter and showed cat using litter box. Ads getting very specific?
Good morning Villagers…..
Jackie, no cat ad here….Ad block 🙂
Near the Amish community, they are building little log cabins with front porches….cute, but I cannot imagine living in such a small amount of space….I need my space….like my big, bathroom with the french doors into the master bedroom. I come home from work, shut the door and disappear for a while, and come out smelling better than a hen house 🙂
I’m a member of GoComics, I just can’t remember my password…oh, well.
Mark, Mr. Bowie also painted….did you link up to Arcade Fire’s ‘Wake Up’? Read an article about Bowie taking the group out for dinner…told them that if he didn’t get to play with them on that song, he was going to steal it.
Fashion statement today….thermal leggings and jeans, turtleneck, thermal long sleeve over turtleneck, followed by sweatshirt. Two pair of thick socks, and to top it all off….Carharts 🙂
4 degrees on my front porch, and 59 degrees in the hen house. Can’t shut off any more fans, have 5 running, other wise the hens and I would die…and I’m not quite ready for that.
Ya’ll have a blessed day…
GR 😉 that was quite a slow down from the Alphaville song, and thanks for introducing them too.
So, now all that is left for us to do…..

…and you thought I got caught up in Chrissie 🙂 You ain’t seen noting yet (there’s a song there somewhere)
today’s grin:

@MiTT.
Thanks, Mark. I do use Ad-Block in both FF and Chrome. So many factors contribute to the performance of a browser that each of us will probably have a different experience. On my system there is a difference of several seconds when starting FF and Chrome from first click to a fully displayed home page, FF being ahead by a long shot.
I’m the guy that stands in front of the microwave oven saying, “Hurry up, Hurry up.”
Jackie doesn’t feel well today, something you don’t often hear me say. I need to get some new scripts filled and threw some away. Took me off some, upped dose others, added at least one new. And I am feeling punny and new cat is by my ear purring loudly. There is a mother cat that goes with him they needed to catch. This one and Dickens are on bed
.
Both of those guys remind me of leather ads in the New Yorker.
Today’s full frontal TIP BlogSpot http://thatispriceless.blogspot.com/
is hardly sexy, and would have qualified for the Japanese edition of Playboy, since it neither shows pubic hair nor any trace of anything else. And, considering my ignorance / sports, you should be proud of me for getting it. Gotta go: wonderful cleaning lady coming in 2 h 45 min., so must pick up stuff.
Peace, emb
If you aren’t careful, Jackie, that purring cat will put you back to sleep. That purr is better than sleeping pill for relaxing you.
Debbe 😉 Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. (Don’t think I’ve had on a pair of thermal underwear since I gave up riding. Had some good ones…very lightweight, very warm, dark blue in color…Damart, perhaps? Wonder if they are still available.)
So, emb, you straighten up ahead of the cleaning lady? 🙂 Yeah, me, too.
Ghost, looks like it: http://www.damartusa.com/C-178504-thermals
And emb, the referee lady with nothing to hide is apparently just the center piece of a portrait of three comely Japanese females. (I’m not sure what infractions the other two equally naked ladies are signaling.) Since all the sites I could find featuring them are in the Japanese language, and I don’t have time to translate them, that’s all I can tell you about the three little bares.
On second pass, the other two may be signaling “Not tonight; I have a headache”.
