This is that special time of the year when it becomes obvious that the same aggravations, the same distractions and the same difficulties that bedeviled a body last week, in the year 2017, still exist. Why do we ever think they won’t? It isn’t my favorite special time. Someone yesterday was asking questions about the colorization of Arlo & Janis. It’s a subject we’ve discussed before, but it also is a subject that evolves. We’ll talk about that later this week.

So I was late for work today because of my breakfast. When I went to get the orange juice, it said concentrate….It takes me longer to do that now.
I stole that from another strip in the funnies.
Posting here, because it is not worth carrying into a new page of Jimmy’s work:
So, if I have followed the results correctly: Everyone recognizes that emb did intend his curiosity of ‘that kid’ to reference the baby Jesus. No one offers a different interpretation.
emb makes a conjecture that is eqivalent to accusing Mary of promiscuity and giving false testimony to hide her actions, suggesting that the cuckolded Joseph is raising another mortal man’s son, and that there existed a man who escaped public derision and responsibility by Mary’s denial. A series of statements that are at minimum libelous, if not offensive to the reader personally.
I point the statement out for what it is and attempt to imply that a similar statement of any other religious figure would not be met so kindly. Then I declare that to me personally, it gave offense.
The original statement is observed as acceptable, or worthy of being overlooked. But my statement is now declared offensive.
Those who see my protest as offensive are not bound by the same rule. The one that says pointing out the offense is worse than the original offense. Interesting how that works for you.
Thouroghly enjoy your work, Jimmy Johnson. Thank you for making it available to us.
i don’t see your protest as offensive, Morphy. But you’ve given emb his fair warnings as per the quotation from Titus and repeating them does not make them more effective, rather they become less effective. Like the mother we’ve all heard in public places telling her child “if you do that one more time, I’ll …”. The kid ignores it.
The God I believe in, Creator of Heaven and Earth and all on the face thereof, is more than capable of dealing with such minor issues without my having to soften the offender up for Him first.
