    I figured that if he was going to ask, he wanted to hear a big bowl of blabber. that starts with “It stahted when a Noth-Eastah suddenly blew in”

    GREAT COMIC!

    @cdward–

    It’s Saturday. More than likely this is a one-off.

    You don’t need to hear the story, let your imagination (or Cap’n Eddie’s) fill in the blank.

    I was thinking the squash might be a metaphor for Victoria. When am I gonna learn? But then maybe it is.

    Wiley: You don’t know Pogo’s regular (monthly) reference to “Friday 13 come on xday this month”?! (Or are you just ignoring Joe Doty?)

    Dogsniff: Okay, try to follow along now.

    “Friday the 13th falls on a Saturday” was a recurring gag from the classic strip “Pogo”.

    glslightning picked up on it right away, and so did richard: “We have met the enemy and he is us.” – a famous Pogo quote.

    It’s tacky to criticize someone’s typing, self-defeating to dismiss a gag just because you don’t get it, and boorish to slam a fellow poster on a personal level…glass houses, and all that.

    “Shades of Pogo!!!”

    look up Pogo by Walt Kelly . http://en.allexperts.com/e/p/po/pogo.htm. the was a running gag about friday the 13th being on some other day

    note the one line “Often, Kelly would suddenly drop in a non-sequitur of sorts with throwaway one-shot gag strips that didn’t follow the regular continuity.

    one of the most famouslines was “We Have Met The Enemy And He Is Us”

    @ Ji2m…about Cap’n Eddie, fully agree, both interesting & amusing…looking forward to the unfolding. Squash seeds cooked under the broiler with a touch of salt are really a nice snack–if your blood pressure can handle the sodium!

    Hey Doty, it’s a character, not an character and if the 13th falls on a Saturday, then it’s Saturday the 13th. Not that it matters. I’m waiting with baited breath for the day when you say something pertinent or funny. Come on Doty, you can do it!

    Um… if you’re going to pick at other people’s grammar/spelling/usage, please note that the expression is “bated breath”.

    Wiley, you may find the following interesting, as a very good summary of Walt Kelly and Pogo. You will especially, I think, enjoy the story about the Providence Journal editor and Kelly. The ending, unstated here but relayed by Kelly himself in “Ten Ever-lovin’ Blued-Years With Pogo”, was that Pogo was moved from the comics page to the Editorial page “Where it belongs” according to the editor.

    In Maine it’s called a Nah-Eastah, not a Noth-Eastah. Cap’n Eddie should know that.
