@RamblinRover for fun, here's an original sketch notes thing.

@ttyymmnn Some of my family members (also Far Side devotees, naturally) have referred to the 19' long '59 Lincoln I bought as a project as the Viking Longcar.

@RamblinRover

One of the programs in the Infrastructure Bill is the "National Culvert Removal, Replacement, & Restoration Grant". We were excited to see that at first given that improving the stormwater system in our area requires the removal of existing culverts and replacing them with either bigger culverts or a bridge. Then I read this:

Establish an annual competitive grant program to award grants to eligible entities for projects for the replacement, removal, and repair of culverts or weirs that—‘‘(1) would meaningfully improve or restore fish passage for anadromous fish..."

Yeah, that's going to make it hard for our projects to qualify. 😕

@HammerheadFistpunch How's this one?

@RamblinRover I'm curious how all the ones above waist height got there...

You have to suspend so much to watch that movie, and I don't care. I enjoyed it anyway. I'm really a big Arnold fan all around.

@benn454 The clown is playing on a whole other level, man. He got what he wanted.
The minute we start thinking if he won or not, we're playing his game.

@RamblinRover welcome to Ballarat

@Just-Jeepin It would appear so.

@RamblinRover Ok, Archer.

@john-norris If you want a few sensible chuckles, just do an image search for Bear Grylls memes. Timeless.

On a side note, despite his early TV production missteps, he's a pretty awesome guy.

@WhoIsTheLeader said in FSF:

Are we expected to believe that the prof will now leave the Caterpillars alone because they sacrificed one of their elders?

I think it's more of a religious cult offering sacrifice to their deity in the hope of the usual unspecified and amorphous blessings rather than a strict quid pro quo.

@Roadkilled

@RamblinRover just gimmie the eels eyes and leave

@Chariotoflove Oh, moving your gang hideout to a new place everyone knows about is TIGHT!

@RamblinRover I mean, he certainly has a lot of comics with farm animals in dresses......

@ttyymmnn first time seeing that one in color

@RamblinRover last one’s my favorite; I seldom laugh at even really good cartoons but that elicited a small chuckle

@ttyymmnn He's a definite motorhead...

@RamblinRover
That's the foreskin. Dare not show the afterskin.

@ttyymmnn Bugeyes well deserved in this situation

@RamblinRover I'll bet the sailors loved the decoy cover!

@RamblinRover Shades of Monty Python in this one...

@Prince-Sidon Denis the Menace is darker than I remember. . . 😉

@ash78 I had a shirt with the Midvale School for The Gifted comic on it when I was little, which belonged to my brother before me, and at least one or two cousins before him.

A little (asshole) bird told me.

Bombs away!

@RamblinRover I brought this one to an English class one day to explain visual humor.

@RamblinRover I guess the doctor selected for this evaluation was chosen by the prosecutor!

@hammerheadfistpunch never underestimate a duck.

@ibrad The sign on the door is turned to "closed" (open facing in). I think the kid walked in, was calling out to see if anybody was there, and then got jumped.

"Joey" conjures a mental image of a ruddy-faced chubby rapscallion... or something like that. It's a funny name for an innocent little kid victim - which I think is the biggest sign it's not the bird's name. Gary likes to paint a picture with these things.

@davesaddiction On another note of "functional art" and making things that... well, can be made in the first place, check out my post in tysmagic's thread on "cars with sheet metal that probably made the sheet metal die design guy scream and run for the hills". The art of the possible determines what is possible in functional art.

@ramblinrover What kind of sadistic asshole architect puts a metal shop on the 3rd floor?

Also, well done kid.

@roadkilled Well, given that one could just as easily get into a fight over elk vs. elk vs. moose, or panda "not-a-bear" I'd say that common parlance wins over strict taxonomical naming every time.

Why taxonomists can't say "american elk" while whispering not-an-elk under their breath or not freak out when someone says "panda bear" is beyond me - and that goes also for not being able to say "american buffalo".

If I remember correctly, Gary got as far as the two birds, and an idea of the two birds saying something about the baby, before he suddenly threw out what he had as the new punchline wrote itself.

@mastermario In fairness to the concept, I have seen cans like this with a lock hasp.
...and also, in this area, I've seen some very beefy structures indeed for bear-resistance. Even built one myself, which was fine until the local garbage co insisted on can conformity.

Uh: bears. Bears walking through yard regularly. Bears that eat people's chickens, and will definitely not be challenged by your plastic cans. 🙄
