This odd little series ran back in 2004. It introduces Gene’s female friend “Sondra,” and the point of it all is, exactly what kind of “friend” is Sondra? Apparently she wasn’t a serious friend. After this week of introduction, she never appears again. I’m getting a bit of a late start this week; it’s a busy summer. However, over the next few days I will try to stick with the Sondra series to its conclusion.

How is Debbe doing?

Maybe if we tell people the brain is an APP
They will start using it.
Have to share some respect for Michael Jantze. This is part time work for him now, but still good. http://www.gocomics.com/the-norm-4-0/2017/06/19
Tried calling Debbe on phone, got Ian instead and he was supposed to give her message. I have twice called with no answer because there is no answering machine.
Ghost sent emails too. Ian is off line because he is not on his gaming page.
I have a tee shirt that says “Talk Southern to Me.”
Ghost does. I love it.

Jackie, I now see you as Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish Called Wanda. But she had a thing for Cyrillic\Slav\Russian. I think Mark has used that one here before.
Llee!!
A twenty-three year goes around comes around!! Well played. You win the day.
Jackie, I understand it would be Debbe’s to share, but I find myself curious for health updates on Dad. Pass on good words, please.
OB @ 2:56 this afternoon: Good One!
Latin is the basis for all the romance [= “from Rome”] languages and also for a large portion of English via those languages. Studying Latin was the best thing I ever did in learning both vocabulary & parts of speech. I suspect a good part of the benefit occurred because I learned it formally right from the start, as opposed to having learned English bit-by-bit during my younger years.
Anon, that is why English is not referred to as a Romance (from Rome) language. It, like its Queen, and her family, is of German descent. It makes extensive use of loan words from Rome, that have become English in use. But structure and origin is different. I’m surprised your classic education did not help with this.
Old Bear I loved the suggestion we call the brain an APP. Good one
Oops. ‘Twas I who was anonymous, above.
Ghost and I find ourselves acting out parts of the Arlo and Janis strip. As Arlo says, the interesting parts.
c x-p: Elaine took 3 yr. of Latin in h.s.; neither of us ever regretted it.
Hog I. ME osprey nest; better luck than at least 2 other webcam osprey nests this yr. And good taste in nest sites, compared w/ 2 other webcam sites, by parking lots.

Peace,
That’s OK, cxp, same response.
That’s the beauty of truth, no embarrassment.
Jackquline:
Love that tee-shirt.
Now, I want one that states, “Down with Standard English.”
They try to make us talk like the man on the 6 oclock news.
Now what do you do with good old boys like me?

Here, y’all. Go practice.
Jackie, and what if the 6 o’clock news you watch is from the BBC? You still wouldn’t sound like American Standard, would you? I think different accents and dialects are interesting and they lead you to listen more carefully to what is said.
If it hadn’t been for Benny Hill, I wouldn’t know what Bristols mean in British slang.
OOh! OOOOH! Mister Kotter!
Yes, Horchack?
I had that strong of a reaction, to your mention of Benny Hill. After cycling my mind past the girls and Yakety Sax, and remembering his role in Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang. I was reminded of my recent embarrassment.
I’m looking forward to see the abomination of a new Gong Show. And I will admit, the commercial had me totally suckered. I was surprised to learn that Mike Myers had been mocking a British personality, the great Tommy Maitland all these years.
I was, of course, corrected. That *is* Mike Myers in character as the great Tommy Maitland.
Those words are from the lyrics of “Good Old Boys alike Me” by Don Williams. In my opinion one of best songs ever written that defines the South.

TruckerRon, I read you there and well done. Sorry for not giving a heads-up or being more polite, I’ll explain. For the record I agree with your original point, but getting there from a bad start is poor logic. I wrote five paragraphs at the time, and two more on your hobby, and set it aside. I have no reason to correct you. I think it is worth remembering that at one time Ronald Reagan, Eugene McCarthy, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy were all Democrats; then your pendulum swings.
I believe there are a few contributors here colluding off blog to coordinate in advance. When I saw the strategy in motion, you became part of a performance art piece to drive the point home. Correcting others is so correct, how can anyone offend? If I had told you first, I would have been communicating behind the scenes too. I felt you were secure in your opinion, and could absorb it. Sorry for not asking first. I am open to your critique.
If others enjoy their sport, go for it. There is no National Security issue here. It is only unpleasant, nothing more. I will enjoy Jimmy Johnson’s Arlo & Janis in any case. I only mention this here at all, because here is where it started, and I believe in transparency. And bringing things to a close, to get on with other things.
