Measles vaccine came into use in 1963. Naturally this was after I’d already had them.
Not a single one of those decals are authorized by Watterson. He did the right thing and refused to commercialize Calvin (except for the books, of course). Every time I see one of those things I wish I had shovels and rakes and implements of destruction.
The full English (or Irish, or Scottish) breakfast is the kind of thing you’ll want if you’re going to go out and cut peat all day and burn about 8,000 calories doing it. The ones I had in England were pretty sad (cheap hotel); the ones I had in Ireland (lovely B&B) were divine. Not what you’d want every day if you were at a desk job, though – unless you want to end up looking like a Sherman tank.
while traveling in Australia not only did I encounter beans on toast but spaghetti on toast. I guess you can put just about anything on toast and call it a meal. though, having said that, I remember creamed chipped beef being served on toast as a child (sh*t on a shingle), and hating it – there’s no way I’d call that a meal these days. eeewww

Radish, would you have a copy of that great cat face that I was using as an avatar last year? Mine has disappeared from my picture file. <:-(

Headed how? With decals? I’d hate to have a decal-head. Even more so if it were peeing. Are you sure you didn’t mean peeling?
