Sigh. I mean an Oingo Boingo shirt would be hip but how could anyone suspect the writer of such songs like �I like little girls� would actually end up liking little girls.

Awww no happy reunion with Little Pumpkin Seed Girl. But at least Mom made 20 pesos off the deal. (This is a good strip; I'm sorry to hear about Old Mexico's ghost problems.)

The line about the town horses killed me.

Moomin lock are a thing apparently?

No big post tonight, but let's get to the end of Mousetrapped week one (which is going to be a Monday-Friday thing, at least in the short term).

(Randy's notes. The executive summary: Pete the Pup is a silent-era Walter Lantz character. He's being used here because Mickey's "proper" friends are still under protective custody in California for the next few years.)

For what it's worth, a writeup of this series showed up in an animation history Facebook group, and after a full week of news of multiple projects with some form of horror movie Mickey, the reaction was a deep sense of relief.

Is really that hard to creat something new instead of ripping off old garbage?

Sundae posted:

The play goes to conclusion and then the umpire halts the game for the medical emergency. Sometimes players may stop on their own out of respect (aka, stop at first and not go for a double when the pitcher is dying on the mound), but the rule is that the play closes out and then everyone deals with the injury.

This apparently happens often enough that, when I went back to look for video of the game I went to in 2000 where the pitcher's career was basically ended by a skull-cracking line drive (Bryce Florie), I had to scroll through like eight other more recent ones. In every video I checked, they finished out the play first. The one for 2000 matched my memory, also; play concluded and then everyone ran to the mound.

The only real dead-ball rules aren't safety-related, but things like the infield fly rule or ground-rule double rules, interference, etc.

We Are Reproducing

Once again, a reminder that flip-up sunglasses were very briefly kind of cool roundabout 1990. Also, a linguistic note: Japanese is one of those languages where calling someone who isn�t in your family by their �family role� is pretty common, especially with things like auntie or uncle or grannie or gramps (or, almost only ever if you�re trying to pick someone up, elder brother or elder sister), but also (as here) mom or dad. Also also, getting mad at a guy for trying to pick her up using her baby is a bit rich from someone who has drawn comics about using her baby to pick up guys.

Pit Viper currently sells them.

Had a coworker do this back when I drove armored cars while he was coming out of a check cashing site. Two of the ladies working inside carried him to the trunk and tossed him in because I couldn�t exit the truck. He was so embarrassed because he was flirting while walking out.

THORN, March 5-8, 1983

Around this time, Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, and TJ Hooker were running, while Barney Miller had just ended.

Ha-ha! Child Labour!

This was incredibly common practice in the 80s and earlier for Mexican-American families and talking to my grandmother it was common for white families too in the 60s as a way to make extra money in the coastal Central Valley of CA.

But if you want to talk about truly hosed up the farmers wouldn�t halt their pesticide spraying schedule and would just douse everyone.

Ask me about how my grandma died from a rare form of cancer directly linked to strawberry pesticides used as late as the 60s.

As an IT-type the number one thing to remember is these stupid loving mooks pay your paycheck so wise the gently caress up and dont be a dick to them no matter how goddamn stupid they are.
Yes, ive been called out for unplugged power and comms cables. And I'm thankful that the world has enough idiots that I can make a career out of catherding dumbfuck IT's who act all upset when they get called away from watching youtube videos to go "fix" some dumb gently caress's monitor because he didnt push in the plug all the way.

Yeah as a computer janitor I'd rather deal with a dozen callouts for an unplugged computer than a single "real" problem where I have to trace a generic error message back through six different Microsoft services only to find out the issue is that one of them is following a different XML standard which makes its output completely incompatible with the only clue being an eight-year-old post that a Microsoft rep marked as "solved" because it was a known issue that they didn't intend to fix.

Extra Untranslatable Fingerpori

Jarla has moved to the next level. No longer content with compound words, he is now using words that aren't even connected to make his puns.

In Finnish, "no thank you" is "kiitos ei" ("kiitos" being "thank you" and "ei" being "no"). As you can see, they are not one word that could have a funny alternate meaning! But if you say them close together, they sound like "kiitosei", which CAN be a compound word of "kiito" (speedy, speeding, zooming etc) + "sei" (our word for pollock).

And so we end up with a piece of pollock on a skateboard.

E:

and Atlantic Pollock is a type of fish.

Your translation explanation is perfect.

A similar example that Americans might understand is �danke schoen� sound like �donkey poo poo� to us.

My father developed the need to have the TV on to get to sleep sometime in his late 40s, and I have no idea how my parents are still married and sharing a bedroom. I visited them in their new house for Christmas this year, staying in a guest room with a sticking/ajar door across the hall from the master bedroom, and after the first night I was tempted to go get a motel room.

I love me a white noise generator to blend out random spikes of noise but a TV can just chaotic and unpredictable.

What a bizarre note to end on. The flow of the narrative seems primed to bite her in the rear end for her decision to ignore the doctor and pediatrician's orders. But then it turns out the baby was unable to sleep for a completely different reason instead? I like WaR just fine, but I can see why this bit bugs the hell out of the others ITT.

These mice experiment strips hit differently knowing that DNA Wizard isn't even researching anything anymore. She's just wasting the university's time and budget, and disrespecting her test subjects by giving them pretend-work.

Use it or loose it budget.
