Enjoyed your alien commentary (or woul...Hey Rusty,<br /><br />Enjoyed your alien commentary (or would it be called "undocumented migrant" commentary?). Anyway, I think the only reason the funny pages can even be called that is because the rest of the paper is typically so tedious to read that they seem somewhat less serious by comparison. It's like in church. Many speakers are so boring, that someone who says anything out of the ordinary seems funny by comparison. Get them out of church, though - not so funny. They're just church funny. Not Monday through Saturday funny.<br /><br />Lastly, the phrase "may or may not" has annoyed me for quite some time now. It's a legal way of telling people a whole lot of nothing. Oh, it may cover everything, unless it doesn't. Ray may be exactly the same as Kobe Bryant, other than the fact that Kobe's taller, jumps higher, shoots better, makes more money, and is more handsome, then he may not be quite the same, if at all. Clear as mud.<br /><br />Dumb lawyers.<br /><br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750031433333592027.post-37825739793097308492010-01-05T15:02:06.346-08:002010-01-05T15:02:06.346-08:00OK - so, the following occurs to me.
1. I rarely ...OK - so, the following occurs to me.<br /><br />1. I rarely read the 'Huhs' as they are un-funny. So unfunny, in fact, that you and I are far funnier than they are - and we get paid SQUAT for our body of work while they cash in each week on their weakness.<br /><br />2. Newspaper, while held in both hands, is a status symbol. If folded to be held in one hand, or rolled up to whack something, newspaper makes a very satisfying noise. Its extermination and training properties cannot be overlooked.<br /><br />3. I'm sorry I missed Paris' kidney.<br /><br />4. Why is it that every area code + 867-5309 was burned up after that song was released? And, using this knowledge, why isn't every director of every movie smart enough to pre-establish a telephone number that is subsequently displayed in their movie which, when called, persuades the caller with a promotional message to buy the action figure?<br /><br />5. Your Billy list is laudable - even including posthumous inclusion of Mays, Martin, and Barty.Jeff Crandallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249928281255070099noreply@blogger.com
