The Duplex by Glenn McCoy for June 15, 2010

… in the cold!

Or in a cave lile Osoma Bin Laden.

Don’t kid yourself, Bin Laden is staying in the Presidential Suite of the Karachi Hilton along with his favorite camel.

One hump or two, Sheik? Don’t mean Dromedary or bactrian, either.

With no place to keep your beer.

In a stick house.

Architects get LOTS of credit! They also get the babes. Architects seem to be the current “dream” occupation for the male heroes in romantic fiction: they’re artistic but practical, they make good money, they live in fabulous houses by the lake that they designed themselves, and they get to travel.

Doctors are snotty. Ad men (a strong contender 30 years ago) are probably liars. Novelists are too smart, and probably flaky. (All of these make good “Baxters”, though, the guy who’s the woman’s fiance at the BEGINNING of the movie, whom she dumps when she meets Mr. Right.)

A housepainter is good, but only if the woman has money of her own already, and overcoming her class-consciousness is part of her character arc. A veterinarian is also good, but there’s a chance he’ll like the heroine’s dog more than he’ll like her.

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Paul Simon.

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright. I can’t believe your song is gone so soon. I barely learned the tune So soon So soon.

I’ll remember Frank Lloyd Wright. All of the nights we’d harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long So long So long.

CHORUS Architects may come and Architects may go and Never change your point of view. When I run dry I stop awhile and think of you

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright All of the nights we’d harmonize till dawn. I never laughed so long So long So long.

Cute comic—great comments!

BTW, beer tastes way better under a lean-to.

The Architects, of all forms of humans here on Earth, are very evil.

They abused all the humans they created. They labeled groups of people as ‘sexual diviants’ and modified them physically so that they all looked similar. And they abused all of them either sexually, physically or mentally. These people they created could not survive without a liquid protein drink from their parents daily. These Architects required that these people eat grass daily, and would modify them when necessary to be a different species so that the chloriform from the grass could be processed.

Other groups of people, who are in the different animal kingdoms here on Earth, were labeled as ‘parasites’, as well as, being modified physically to be grouped differently; these people were labeled ‘parasites’ because they could not survive without nutritional assistance from their parents. These people were not required to eat grass, however they did not survive long because their parents would not supply them with the only nutrition ‘the liquid protein drink’ .

Actually, without Civil Engineers, we would be outside. Without Architects, artsy people would just complain about ugly houses.

I had the same misconseption a year ago. Then I changed majors.

Civil Engineers? I’ve been reading “Dilbert” for years, and I don’t think they’ve ever shown one of those…

(And what about carpenters and/or masons? Architects need them more than they need architects.)

poohbear8192 said, So long, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Paul Simon.

Was he covering Elton John?

I should rephrase that.

Yeah, Dilbert is a Mechanical engineer, or an Electrical, I’m not sure which. Probably an Electrical. Engineering has three branches.

But yeah, you need grunt work too.

rdh288, I meant that the engineers in “Dilbert” all seem to be markedly uncivil.
