I still have a few years to go before 50. I admit most of them are quite bad, and I can't really explain why I like it (the Curmudgeon does help). I am lucky in that my local daily prints few soaps and zombies and actually has a few good ones (unlike the Fort Worth Startlegram, my former home paper). But I periodically write them to suggest they drop lame crap like Hagar, Wizard of Id, BC, Cathy and Garfield (sorry, Andrea) and replace them with <a href="http://comics.com/comics/cowandboy/index.html" rel="nofollow">Cow and Boy</a>, <a href="http://wpcomics.washingtonpost.com/client/wpc/lio/" rel="nofollow">Lio</a>, <a href="http://wpcomics.washingtonpost.com/client/wpc/ob/" rel="nofollow">Overboard</a>, and <a href="http://www.seattlepi.com/fun/retail.asp" rel="nofollow">Retail</a> (the "Cow and Boy" link seems to be nonfunctional at the moment, but it should work later). If I ever succeed in getting these picked up, I have a few others to suggest that I read online.<br /><br />My favorite bumper sticker that I've seen in a long time said "Garfield isn't funny."<br /><br />@mccoll I used to work with a guy who saved a piece of <i>Maclura pomifera</i> from a job site to make a bow. I kinda doubt he ever followed through, but maybe.<br /><br />@R_C You killed my theory--my family, from NE TX, says "board ark", while local (Austin) arborists seem to go with "Bow dark", so I was theorizing that it was a north-south thing. Maybe it's an East TX/LA thing. Maybe my family is just nuts. Well, I'm pretty sure they are nuts, but maybe that's why they pronounce it that way. I'll let it go now. If Rex didn't want to discuss homophones of Parrish, he probably doesn't care to hear about this, either.treedwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634227778469664442noreply@blogger.com
