Shear Madness (http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/event/TQMAD) is a comedy play that has played at the Kennedy Center in DC basically forever. It's not very funny.

It was absolutely hilarious and scandalous to 14-year-old small-town me on my first school trip into a big city. :colbert:

er... he also changed his name around the same time. It was a very epic arc. Also yet another reason he desperately wants his ex to move out. Having two people in a house with the same name gets very confusing!

It could be either. Mall stores (which I'm assuming this place is) generally don't have conference rooms or spare space to have a job interview.

This, and I will also add that it's also very common to do because physically leaving the premises is the only way a retail manager can even attempt to give 100% of their attention to the intervie

About 3/4 of the way down was pretty scary. There were those concrete parking space stops at the end of the hill. I jumped over one and crash landed in some grass. No injuries, but I sure as hell never did that again.

To make things better/worse, I started crouching because I heard a lower center of mass means you're more stable. It also made me faster though. I ended up safe at the bottom, just in shock as I rolled forward. Eventually I fell when I hit the curb, but I was real slow by then.

Luann


I guess it's not reasonable for me to expect a given college student to give a poo poo about every assignment she gets. Nevertheless, Luann is a terrible art student and the Evanses haven't given any indication that they think her taking advantage of Gunther to cheat in her class and score a free dress is a bad thing. Should consequences occur later I shall be glad, but after Luann got her A, I'm not expecting it.

I think it's worth noting that this was a big deal at the time.

Wikipedia posted:

Sparky's first race became one of comics' first national media events, eagerly anticipated by millions of newspaper readers. So great was the public's enthusiasm that DeBeck, who had been planning to retire the plug after that one storyline, made him a permanent part of the cast. Spark Plug was such a star during the 1920s that children who enjoyed the comics were liable to get "Sparky" for a nickname—for example, Charles M. "Sparky" Schulz, who grew up to create Peanuts.

Spider-Man still has his powers. It's just that he has the strength of a flea-sized man with the proportional strength of a side.

Here's something by James Montgomery Flagg (the 'I want YOU' Uncle Sam poster artist) I found on animation resources: Nervy Nat.

Flagg drew Nervy Nat for Judge magazine between 1903 and 1907. Nat "appears to be based on the early vaudeville performances of W.C. Fields."

Okay, Lu. Let’s not forget that Gunther did ALL the Dirty WORK in making THAT Dress,*AND getting You that “A” before YOU get all Gooey “How can I ever repay you?” to the Caveman there….,

quote:

dblbaraje said, 1 day ago
Did Luann declare a major? She seems to be taking so many art classes? As usual, Luann is the most shallow of all the characters. The dress was because she is going to be a bridesmaid, not as an art project. She couldn’t even come up with a one sentence statement. Luann seems to be a late bloomer. Tiffany even has a goal, but not Luann. So far, the only thing I see is possible set and costume design in the future with a repairing with Quill if she ever grows up. She is good with kids, but when will teaching dawn upon her as a wonderful career in the future (if you get into the right school district). I love this comic hoping that Luann will grow up – probably very much later than sooner.
