Later, after a very successful date I see him asking her "Is it better like this, or like this? Like this, or like this?" : )

I WANT a pair of those optometrist-glasses!

You should see the Chinese Scrabble game. The box weighs 700 pounds. A double letter score and a double word score are the same thing.

Either that, or he just won Dancing With The Stars.

There's a video on YouTube of a guy trying on his dog's no-bark collar; he barks louder and louder until he gets a real revelation when he sets it off. Apparently we REALLY want to shut them up. I'm surprised they still like us.

The thing about justice is that it often doesn’t really care who’s guilty as long as someone’s being punished.

I always knew that some people who are born brain damaged have unnatural talents, gifts they didn’t have to learn. Math, music, art, language. Some part of them gets switched off and another part gets cross-wired and suddenly there’s nothing to inhibit the part that can just do something.

What I didn’t know till recently is that this is also true of people who get head injuries later in life. A guy gets in a car accident, hits his head on the windshield and suddenly he can play the piano.

This led me naturally to this idea: If you have a particularly useless child sitting around, try tapping them gently with a brick. Who knows what they might suddenly be very good at. ☺

(YES I’m kidding. But I am looking at you, Savannah. Lucky for us both you’re already gifted.)

Although, kiddo, you COULD use maybe some DIFFERENT gifts... hmmm... : ) WHAP! "Merry Xmas! This year I'm giving you psychic abilities!"

(To the nice lady on the flight from Baltimore to SLC: This is the drawing I was trying to remember to work on as I went through my list of ideas.)

"Our intended result is totally blotto and willing to sign anything."

Hi Robin! That’s not exactly supposed to be you.

I've got a second one in the series where Frank is bouncing up and down on a bed. Same idea, but not as Xmassy.

I was always curious about the pose on this drawing. Mystery solved! And he’d have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.

Billy there is doing pretty good with that upright thing. "Capra Aegagrus Erectus."

I say we just cook him anyway.

At work people were way too upset to have this be the caption; I asked Veronica "What could she say to indicate her crystal ball isn't working right?" and this was her first answer. When I told her about not using it at work, she said, "There it should be 'Your project will finish ahead of schedule and under budget.'" Which is what is now hanging in the office of the lovely ladies who do configuration management for us. : )

Notice the sticker on the crystal ball. On a side note, I would like all the amateur crystalballers out there to knock it off. If you think something really awful is going to happen, wait patiently and see if it does. If your usual percentage is <10%, then try relaxing once in a while.  : )  Just saying.

Is oil kosher? Or is it considered the remains of seafood?
