I ran across this old A&J comic in the archives and couldn’t help but be amused at how far off the mark the colorist was. This wasn’t the issue with me then that it would be now, because most newspaper comics 15 years ago were still black and white, and—in my mind—digital comics weren’t real comics. Yes, a lot has changed. It wasn’t all on the colorist; there was no communication between that anonymous toiler and myself, and this concerned me not. (See reasons stated above.) Still, it often was obvious the colorists did not actually read the strip they were coloring. I need not go into what went wrong. I have remastered the strip above, and you easily can see for yourself. And, no, it was not intended to be dirty in the least.

Gee, what’s next? A Nigerian prince needing help to transfer a fortune in funds out of his county?
I used to be administrator of several commentated blogs that group members wrote into like The Village. My unpaid job was to read all the posts and delete inappropriate ones. I also had to approve new members and delete inappropriate ones. It kept things polite, xlean and spam free
I view something genuinely special in this web site.
In spite of the spammers, I just want to remind everyone that Sunday, September 19, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I love the story behind it… and the fact that Dave Barry helped to make it what it is today.
Arrrhhhhh!

This web page is known as a walk-through for the entire information you needed about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and you’ll definitely uncover it.
Porn is probably next. We are definitely full of spam. Just don’t click on posts from unknown people.
Our regular nuts are safe to crack unless the page goes back to reassigning OUR names randomly to other posters as it did for so.long.
Back on the topic of pajamas: I stopped wearing pajamas when I was 11, adopting a T-shirt (when cold enough) and briefs, instead.
A few years after that, I shifted to boxers.
I hated pajamas as a boy and still do. They’re too confining.
The first time I wore boxers was when I started boot camp, back in ’69. As soon as I was out, I went back to briefs and never wore boxers again. I hate the way they keep riding up and bunching around your crotch. I know that there are men who love them, and they can have my share.
For some reason, the boxers I wear never ride up or bunch.
Briefs darn near kill me.
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was entirely right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
I have been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Reading this information So i’m happy to convey that I’ve a very good uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I most certainly will make certain to do not forget this web site and give it a look regularly.
Good Monday morning, y’all. Hope you have a great week. And this will help you start with a laugh. https://www.southernthing.com/40-ways-you-know-youre-in-the-south-2649730735.html?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1
Fun to read! Thank you, Mark! Somebody in Tulsa would know. This one is close to the bottom of the list: “‘You don’t wear white after labor day or before Easter.’ — Lisa Emerson Hoover.” But all kinds of people wear white shirts or blouses–or anything–teeth too, as Miss Manners has cheekily written. But there is the real rule that white shoes may be worn only from Memorial Day through Labor Day–not that many follow it. Of course, white shoes have to be worn with a wedding dress at any time of the year. Some to think of it, we wore white bucks in our high school marching band all through the fall, long after Labor Day, and, boy, did those shoes get drenched in mud–
A friend of mine in Houston wrote a hilarious book about Southern rules like the deviled egg plates. She was social editor for the Houston Chronicle. I no longer have her books, having loaned them out of course.
One of the books was titled Why Princess Margaret Will Never Pledge Tri Delta (or something close to that) Princess Margaret had just come to Houston and worn white shoes as I recall off season. She broke many other Southern social, food and clothing rules it seems!
Correct title is “A Southern Primer or Why Princess Margaret Will Never Be A Kappa Gama” by Mariln Swartz. There is a second called “New Times In The Old South.”
They are hilarious (why mine weren’t returned,) and both are available used online right now. I want them again!
Glad I brought up some good memories for you Jackie. And I hope you can find new copies of those books. That Southern Thing site is a hoot. And they have a YouTube channel of their own with funny videos too. I know you saw some of the ones I posted on Facebook. Good night, and I pray for you and Ghost nightly, among others.
There is apparently a lot to realize about this. I think you made some nice points in features also.
Wow. I’m just catching up at the end of my big Road Scholar trip, and the “great website” spam stuff is a bit overwhelming, isn’t it? It’d be nice if it would go away soon. (Trip on a riverboat down the Columbia/Snake river gorge. Very nice)
About deviled egg plates, deviled eggs are still a very BIG deal in Louisiana where I am from. You should own a crystal one, inherited. (I have a couple from my Mama) And a China one to go with Sundays or company. You can use plastic or metal for barbecue or picnics or dinner on the ground at church.
Just be prepared to make at least 50 halves minimum. I have seen a plate full vanish between the kitchen and the table!
Here’s another way to know you’re in the South:
You’re in the South, have “Fairfield County” on your Ohio license plates, and go into a restaurant.
You come back out, and the tires are flattened because they know that Sherman was born in Fairfield County.
That’s a true story. Happened to an acquaintance of mine. It’s okay. He was a jerk, and I’m sure he deserved it for shooting off his mouth in the restaurant.
In South Louisiana they ask “Who’s her mama/grandmama? And can she make a roux?”
Tomorrow I am making a big pot of homemade vegetable soup and either cornbread or biscuits because I have been craving some. I hope we have either frozen or canned mixed vegetables to throw in with fresh ones!
Hi again. Anon. above just off the riverboat was me. I forgot to sign in.
Heartwarming:

For our wedding MIL saved all dbl yoke eggs (we were egg farmers)
(helped we had newish flock at time.)
one side was Deviled Egg the other side was Deviled Ham
You are correct they did not last long
BTW many “Church Ladies” object to “Deviled” so:
.
” But not everyone is on board with the hellish food terminology. In many regions of the U.S., deviled eggs are commonly known as “stuffed eggs,” “dressed eggs,” “salad eggs” or even “mimosa eggs.” Pretty much any word other than “devil” can be used, especially when served in the context of church functions. (No one wants to invite Satan to the picnic!)”

Unfortunately, I can guarantee that Satan is at every church picnic.
Wherever humans are, Satan is.
So, might as well enjoy the eggs, no matter the name.
I’m not sure where you are getting your info, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic info I was looking for this info for my mission.
I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have created some nice methods and we are looking to swap techniques with others, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.
I got what you intend, appreciate it for putting up.Woh I am glad to find this website through google.
You are my breathing in, I own few blogs and sometimes run out from to brand : (.
