Today’s retro A&J is more antediluvian tech humor from barely five years ago. Presumably today they would both have a smart phone and would both be entitled to their own set of facts. Speaking of smart phones, I’ve discovered a strange phenomenon. My new phone has about four times the square footage of my old flip phone, but I’ve noticed it’s easier to lose! Maybe because it looks like a dozen other gadgets lying around the house. I’ve give some thought to what we discussed yesterday, the future of our retro feature, and I think I have come up with some ideas. I hope you’ll find them rather painless once implemented. Maybe we’ll run some experiments next week.

Ruth Anne: I found a shirt for Debbe on that site: http://www.feelingoodtees.com/HOLY-CRAP-LARRY-IS-THAT-YOU-T-SHIRT-P3441.aspx
I miss Simply…
JJ, i do enjoy those rare times when you show us a strip from before the 1994 strips, the earliest ones on GoComics. When you have time, I hope you will continue to do that occasionally.
Let’s see if I can successfully share my favorite work-related comic:

Tom, thanks for that goldie oldie. And the cat’s tail wags! JJ, why not surprise us with that some day? Is that possible? Why does no one make a small truck anymore? If you don’t make it, everyone will have to buy one with a bigger profit.
And I still wonder what happened to Denise.
Just had delicious spinach salad and cup of butternut squash soup. Wish I had company. Having a slice of sour cream lemon pie to drown my sorrows.
I have my grandmother’s recipe for lemon icebox pie. All-female staff will fight over last piece. If I were that kind of guy, I could probably use the pie to troll for sexual favors. But I’m not.
Going to visit my godson next week. I have my sister’s pumpkin bisque recipe, and that’s his favorite thing I fix. I’ll carry him some.
Debbe 😉 A six gun lover?

Soggy lemon icebox pie would work for me. Firm would be even better.
Lord help me, I put a can of Diet Coke in freezer in kitchen to get it to proper cold fast. I bet I have frozen it solid. I have a small dog asleep on my thigh because the thigh has new soft fleecy pajamas on leg.
It is already in 40s up here and they have had frost. I am having to supplement that Texas beach wardrobe with a few warmer things.
Jimmy you have been looking in our windows again or at least evesdropping.
Good morning Villagers…
Mark, love the T-shirt, I see a lot of yolk in my days. And I have to be really hungry now to eat an egg. Ian fried hamburgers the other night with an egg on them, not too bad….but I was hungry too.
Jerry, I too noticed Ludwig’s tail twitching…I first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me this early in the morning.
Gal, I do too…I wonder how his concert hall is doing.
…Jackie, you are starting to make me think of you as “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago”…it use to run on PBS, Ian always watched it,
Happy payday to us all 🙂
GR 😉 why, yes I am…..that’s why they called me

Debbe, Symply is getting out of that business. Too much competition these days. Tomorrow night is their farewell concert. But he said he had had a good time doing it, anyway.
Mark: thanks for sharing the update from Symply. Like you I’m sorry things didn’t work out long term but hope we’ll see more of him here.
Is that cat on a bathroom scale? Do they make some that twirl? Peace,
Aw, Ghost, you can’t say that and then not share the recipe for her lemon icebox pie! Pretty please?
Pretty pretty please????
That is a self propelled vacumn cleaner emb but my cats liked to sleep on my scale and always ran batteries down.
My favorite Travolta movie and my favorite song about pie.

And here is the song from Michael about sitting on the side of the road which ironically I noticed was posted by someone named Santiago.

Found the lyrics to the song Lemon Pie. An English group from 1970s. Noticed it was from their album Ghost.
Decided I didn’t want any more subliminal messages from songs. I am still getting those random blues songs sent to me.
Group that sang lemon pie is not called lemon pie, song is. I checked Google and more songs have been written and sung about pie than any other subject, even sex. However, pie often substitutes for sex. I can understand that. Do that myself.
Do not amuse me with accounts of licking pie off someone’s body, I have already heard it, just never done it.
emb, here’s a video for you, no music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk4XB2wZqF4
Here’s a song for all of us here in the Village who have ever loved someone in the past who lived on in memories. Sung by a group from my past, Dr. Hook, who few remember for their poignant sad songs or love songs. Bet Shel Silverstone wrote this one.
Memories are best left as memories. https://youtu.be/6KfI4R99OAk
