Fingerpori - I'd like to return the bird feeder I bought - I can't hit any birds with this Lintulauta = bird feeder Lintu = bird Lauta = board Because of this, a "lintulauta" can also be interpreted to mean a "bird club" or other such instrument for hitting birds.

Isn't "White Room" very clearly about heroin use? Is this something Gilchrist is just ignoring because the music of his generation is clearly the moral paragon, and not like the heathen music of today.

Dustin Why the hell would anyone want to know more about Ed Kudlick? It would just be digging a well of horrible awful things, like how he donated your entire college fund to the Republican Party's reelection campaign. On the Fastrack  Um then remedy that?

... did Brooke just post a strip in which someone is terrified by a gaping Brookemouth? Could he be more aware than we thought? Midnight Moth posted:Dustin On the one hand: blackmail. On the other hand: did Ed just tell his children "your mother only lets me gently caress her when she's drunk" ? Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD "She was manipulating us! She was unconsciously making it happen!" Indolent Bastard posted:
Okay, I admit it: I smirked. Although it seems significant that even when Lester is mildly funny, he still produces poo poo comics. (Also, the comic is predicated on the assumption that dogs have thumbs.)

goatface posted:Why am I thinking about it this much? Because we all spend too much time thinking about newspaper comic strips, be they wonderful or horrible or completely incomprehensible. For instance, that recent Dustin that I commented on -- the one where Ed says that his favorite drink is Helen's third margarita? The expression shared by Dustin and Meg is far too horrified. The revelation that Helen has a drinking problem should result in a sad but understanding nod: after all, the woman lives with Ed Kudlick. So what is causing that stunned horror that makes them look as if they've been smacked in the back of the head with an aluminum baseball bat?
