Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 29, 2014

He sounds just like the classifieds….

“Previously enjoyed vehicle is ‘veteran savvy’, ’proven great for touring and will leave one with a great summery, citrus-like impression!” (=“This lemon has been a lot of places….”)

Competition in the feeding business sure is no laughing matter if you ask me.

NOT!!!!!!!! (to the “Great business”) =-O

…and the stomach burns… ;)

“This Truck Stops Here”“Supplies And Demands”“The Thrill Is Gone….” (♫)“Of Mice And Menus”“Soured By The Lack Of Dough”“Downward Mobile-ity”“Mission Statement: Classified "“Time To Stop Making The Donuts”or“Trucks And Patties Don’t Flip Themselves”

….or as a little Brd once said: “They Don’t Want Goulash in this Gulag”

Of Course (!) I like “‘Of Mice And Menus’” Heheheheh… Squeak! ;)

LOL! In either plain…. or 100% fancy free….

Re: frozen…make sure it is the unsalted kind…or, make it directly from spinach that’s already frozen! ;)

Seeing TJ turn it around that quickly reminded me of something I heard British comedienne Holly Walsh say when she was being shown flats…

One of them was pretty rough, and she remarked to the agent showing it that it was “a real s&#$hole”. He looked at her, smiled, and said “Yeah…but it could be your s&#@hole!”

All you need is a new name, “TJ’s Whine and Cheese To Go.”

I know this is off-topic (well, maybe not That off-topic as one of the “Luann” characters might read it…), but why aren’t there “comments” on the “9 Chkweed” comic? ;)

TJ’s Ptomaine Truck will never ride again?

My hub will be glad to furnish a drill…he has many! ;)

Not that TJ would cheat a friend …

Re: TJ insurance on truck…hey, Brdshtt, you’ve got something there! Perhaps one certain food cart will go bouncing down a hill by “accident”… =-O

""T.J. and work do not mix well." ^Or to add to that, TJ and “non-easy money” do not mix well….

Interesting And funny!!! ;)

I guess that’s a bit better than my idea of him getting shut down by the health inspector (on purpose). Fraud A La Mode…..

Re: grease fires! Yes, and one would give Brad’s FD station something to do! ;)

LOL about the “Fraud Flambe!” ;)

Re: watching Teej’s cart burn…I’ll bet he’d Really like that! ;)

Has Luann ever had cats? I just discovered a GC comic named “Ten Cats”… Its funny in a sweet sort of way… ;)

I’m not familiar with “Cafe Dog”…guess I’ll wander over there, too! ;)

Not here in Vancouver, some of our trucks have world famous items.

Just like when Andy Taylor bought Mayberry’s first coin operated laundry, and made more bubbles than a Lawrence Welk episode.

Hahahaha! ;)

Re: “Cuddles”…thanks! It’d be Great if someone links it over! ;)

Re: food carts in SD…there are quite a few here. They seem prosperous enough. Most of them are made-from-scratch Mexican-food food carts, but I’ve seen one food cart selling Polish food! ;)

Yikes! I have to get up in six hours!!! ‘Nite all! ;)-————————————————————————“The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella: But chiefly on the just because The unjust steals the just’s umbrella."( Lord Bowen, 1835-1894)

TJ – Sell it to AE – She needs a job! (AE was too interesting to disappear forever – bring her back somehow).

Grumpy and discouraged TJ sure turned his attitude around when he sensed a possible mark. I hope Brad doesn’t fall for TJ’s pitch! At a minimum, he’d better confer with Toni before doing anything stupid!

Ah, Here It COMES. The Inevitable Con. And Just Think, Bradley: Your “Best Friend” will only Charge You TRIPLE what HE Paid for the Business.

Brad? Why Don’t You Surprise Us All, and PUNCH This Parasite Right in the Face?

And You Smiley? After You Come to, Why Don’t YOU go into a profession More SUITED to You? Like a Used Car Salesman, Lawyer, or better still, a Carpet Bagging, Scumbag, Politician?

The “District” Awaits….,

Definitely a “caveat emptor” moment here, Brad. You have a wedding to deal with. You don’t need to be catering it yourself, either! :-)

One thing though… If TJ does sell the truck, unless someone like Knute buys it (lots of luck there), it will result in one less place for the “gang” to gather so al can make appearances together, especially if Lu continues on her path to Pitts CC and everyone else is at Mooney. All they’d have left is Weenie World, or some place similar.

I’m guessing they think the “food truck” thing has gone beyond it’s value to the strip. So they’re looking for TJ to get into something else… (hopefully not to interfere with Brad/Toni’s Wedding plans)…

That’s the entrepreneurial system. Others probably will come along with the same idea. Not everyone will make it, and not everyone can be the best. Some ‘make it’ more readily than others. It’s part skill, part ingenuity, part luck and timing, and part big hopes. No promises are made. Some cheat and game the system, but even without that, the free market is tough and challenging. Maybe TJ just needs a brainstorm- some angle other than menu tweaks.

“The real question: what and where next for TJ”?____________________________________

Well, I Hear the disease carrying, mosquito infested jungles of Pe-Ru are Nice this time of year.

We could do a Prisoner Exchange and Swap Gunther (who’s being Held by Shining Path Guerillas) with Old Smiley.

“Loooo-sy! You deed whaat weeth the money I was going to use to buy costumes for my band?”“Ay! ¿Cómopodíasertantonto?”

Two words: Ann Eiffel. If she’s trying to demoralize T.J. into giving up the business, then he shouldn’t give up without a fight. P.S., hire a lawyer because it’ll get ugly.

Thanks!!

Dave53 -

thanks for getting my attempt to be snide yesterday. Last night I felt bad for it because FEd had made some really cool suggestions as to how we could all use free time.*But then B.S. took me seriously, thinking I was actually praising FEd’s “insightful” comments on Nancy. So, as Underdog, I done it right!

B.S. – You had me snookered!*Actually, I’m usually so deadly servious and earnest and straight-ahead, people in real life never get my jokes, unless I precede them with a “joke alert”. I’ve a sad, sad life! ;)

This reminds of Small Town America where a young, naive 20-something man bought a taxi service from a very dishonest person he thought he knew and trusted. Then he quit his fairly okay day job. None of the taxis worked well. Eventually, he had to borrow a rusted Mercury Comet from someone he knew who drove it into town to do shopping because his last operating taxi had broken down. He shut the doors of the only taxi service in the county, moved his family out of state, got a job in another Small Town America and has been there ever since. ~DON’T DO IT, BWAD!!!!

“He shouldn’t have run all the words together like that”-——————————————-Then you’ve never heard Ricky’s Spanish.Less roughly, it should be:How could YOU be so foolish?Followed by:“Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”

Aye.

Trueevery daybut we love ye

Thanksi caught the how and tonto fool or crazy but hadn’t figured out the middle parts

But are you serious about jokingor joking about jokingor joking about being serious?

I read Luann first.

Then I go back and read two or three days previous of Luann.

Then, I come back to the current day’s Luann.

I have about 12 comics in my list that I follow daily. I list them and read them in this order:

1) Dilbert

2) Peanuts Classics

3) Andy Capp

4) BC

5) Close to Home (closest I’ve seen to “The Far Side”.. which I dearly miss)…

6) Garfield

7) Non Sequitur

8) Rose is Rose

9) Shoe

10) Wizard of ID

11) LuannAgainn

12) Luann (best for last)

I’d also read Beetle Bailey if it weren’t King Features… (and, thus, cost $$$ to subscribe).. :)

Sometimes a new business closes soon after starting because the entreprenwhatever realized he didn’t like all the headaches involved.Other times, he realizes he enjoys it and opens even more.Some folks near me sold lumber for years. People kept wanting nails, cement and other building supplies, so they started to carry that.Then they decided to open a small store in town, away from their sawmill.Then they decided to enlarge their new hardware store.Then they decided it wasn’t all THAT much extra paperwork to open another hardware store 15 miles away to the west, then another 15 miles away to the east, then another, then another.Then they closed their sawmill but seem to be doing well for the most part. Some other chain might drive them under or buy them out eventually or they might lose interest and close or … who knows?.They may decide to expand into a related field — and the entire building industry is related. The main thing for them is that they know how.

Pore thang.It’s a hard knock life.

Not in several decadesAll I can do to keep you and ReallyBad straight.

Strange, I’ve been reading it on the Cleveland.com site for free.

Hmmmm… seems they cut a deal with King Features to “feature” their comics. Thanks!

Ya, think?

.I guess that some body wanted their French fries well done. Just say’in.

you can see BB thu any site that has King Features’ Comics Kingdom as their comics page ( check newspaper sites) … I read it for free every day.

Which that Clevland.com site seems to be, thanks to JPuzzleWhiz.

I read Drabble. Guess we are a minority here.

Really wished there could be some “Far Side” reruns (at least) or some new Dilbert……
