We’re more than 20 years down the road since this 1993 A&J appeared, and a lot of people still are waiting to find out what they’re going to be doing. Now, I’m going to waste a large portion of your day. We’ve been talking about Web sites. Search “wayback machine archives” and type “arloandjanis.com” in the search field. Find your way back to dozens upon dozens of old A&J Web sites, including the old FrontPage sites, some of which were pretty awesome if I say so myself. So, let’s not worry today about the future.
Profit of Doom!

Debbe, you posted the same link twice! Now I’m wondering, what other one did you mean to put up?
Not music, but good for a laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heB2g0IvOMg
Phooey.
Except the one that said “Phooey”.
My comments are disappearing…except the ones with “Phooey” in them. New password, perhaps?
Today’s strip is a hoot! Ha!
Short night last night, long day ahead.
Good morning Villagers..
GR 😉 I remember debbie, it was before I started posting. You were always giving her a hard time on sundresses and bathing suits if I remember right 🙂 Oh, I liked that song, never heard of him….will have to listen to his other Christmas songs.
Mark, it was Floyd’s “Time”, off their “Dark Side of the Moon”….have it playing now. Don’t know why it didn’t paste…I wanted to play it loud to drown out the feuding brothers in the living room last night….that’s why Santa is bring me Boze earplugs….soon….payday.
Yesterday, I ran into the convenience store and Miss Sunshine (that’s what I call her, she calls me ‘Beautiful’) and she had rescued a poor kitten and brought it into the store. She’s gray and loving….I so want to bring her home, which leads me to this:

I just can’t, have too many cats now….5 inside, and one outside. My husband is betting I’ll be bring her home tonight.
ya’ll have a blessed day
Here you go Mark……30 some years later and it still plays well

Steve, glad you enjoyed Arlo’s concert….would love to see him in concert….saw on TV him singing Alices Restuarant, and he went beyond the 20 minute song…adlibbing a lot
I didn’t see Arlo’s concert, Jimmy did in 2006.
I still can’t see archived comments. When I go to an old date, it says “Comments are closed”
Here’s an odd Christmas-themed song:

Archive.org is great, click on video – ephemeral films – Prelinger Archives – I watch that weird old stuff all the time
I’m finally recovered from Thanksgiving and ready to think about Christmas, with The Piano Guys music:

Wayback archives don’t work either in Chrome or Internet Explorer on my work computer. When I click on the timeline for 2011 or before, I get the message:
“Wayback Machine doesn’t have that page archived.”
I just tried it on my smart phone and it worked. So maybe it will work on my personal computer at home. Still, I wish we did not have to use the wayback machine.
Ok, I was wondering: Whatever happened to John and Mindy?
Steve, WayBack works in Chorme for me.
I’m here. A comment I thought I submitted yesterday also vanished.
Steve, I believe Symply Fargone has maintained email communication with Mindy and John since they virtually disappeared from the Village (although Mindy has apparently made a couple of on-the-fly comments since then), but I’m not sure how much he is at liberty to say about their absence.
Boy, that’s the truth!

* She had retired her bikinis; I urged her to reconsider.
Yeah, well, I guess some other things haven’t changed over the years, either. 🙂
Jackie being away this long always makes me antsy.
Came across this on the book of faces. Come on up and see us sometime.

“…almost made the broadcast round of American Idol…” I’m trying to imagine how that would look on my résumé. 🙂
Of course, using that on a résumé for a TV job might reinforce some people’s belief that television news is more akin to entertainment than it is to reporting.
Fargo is not the largest TV market
The video about ND was OK (not Oklahoma), and it probably doubled my knowledge of the state, which previously consisted of knowing the only guy in my college class who was from ND and having seen the Coen brothers’ outstanding film “Fargo”, which was actually set in Minnesota. (Go figure.)
