I don't know why Pluggers have to accompany their tools places and I don't know why that cat has the bedroom eyes over a pair of pliers while the bear looks scared. "Fudge" Glover? I'm so uncomfortable.

It's specifically a reference to the story of Momotaro, who was born from a giant peach an old couple found floating down a river. (the comic then turns it into a joke of all sorts of fruit floating down the river)

Congratulations, you get to learn that today! It's magical, the news coverage of it used to get passed around on VHS tapes, made it to the early Web and was one of the first videos on Youtube. Among some of us here in Oregon it's an unofficial State holiday.

Nobody got hurt (the whale was already dead) so you're allowed to laugh.

This is true. I wouldn't feel this way if it wasn't for the fact that these letters are being sent to their parents asking them to become counselors and their parents are having to push the information on to them while they express acceptance with camp being done and time for them to move on to something else. I did the camper to CIT thing in the past but it was my own decision to make and I was the one to step up and ask if I could do it. Also Coney is, like, 10. That's way too young to be a CIT or counselor proper. Maybe some kind of troop head or cabin lead but not a proper counselor.

I think this might be another UNTRANSLATABLE FINGERPORI



The newspaper headline can be read in two ways, due to the way Finnish grammar works:
"A giant pike-perch bit on 16 year old Jyri's hook"
"A giant pike-perch hooked 16 year old Jyri"

"Jyrin" can either be the genitive (the possessive) form of Jyri, ie. "Jyri's hook". It can ALSO be the accusative form of Jyri, meaning Jyri is the target of the verb, ie "[got] Jyri on his hook.

Can anyone think of an English translation that would in some way capture the pun?
