Would driving this carrot harvester make you feel powerful, or at least, be satisfying, in a sort of Green Giant way?I never knew this was how they did it.
Wow…. this strip just made me remember a young neighbor of mine….long ago, when, as students, we both were renting shabby but cheap apartments near campus…He invited me over one night for some wine…and I discovered he’d painted his walls black…. to the delight of his landlord, I’m sure..and had lots of black lights shining on his poster collection. While he played his two “Deep Purple” albums over and over, he told me how, as a kid, he’d built a huge model train layout.Now, at about 21, he liked to burn up the little buildings, in miniature house fires…He showed me the model fire trucks that he liked to place at the scenes.But he’d run out of houses…so he was building some more…to burn up!To save money, he said, he was making them HO scale instead of O…so he was going to have to buy an HO fire truck.Seriously creepy!Haven’t thought of him in years.Wonder what prison he ended up in…
Rusty Boy has a right to feel empowered ! His owner, Lionel Treign, has been spending way too much time playing with his toy locomotives and not with Rusty Boy ! While Lionel is trying to recapture his youth, Rusty Boy simply wants to have him live in the present and play toss the stick.Whining, sitting up and begging, running around in circles, rubbing up against Lionel in an affectionate way – nothing can pry Lionel away from his cars and cabooses. Mrs. Treign has tried everything !Finally, she entered into a secret pact with Rusty Boy to derail Lionel and get him back on the right track. The final whistle has yet to blow, so it will be a while before we know if this subtle sabotage of the Silverliner Special succeeds in shaking some sense into Lionel.
Happy, no, Bev posted Gomez…and Bev…. Our Fireman is probably 35-ish?I hate to admit it, but in my college days….he wasn’t yet a passing notion, or a glint in anybody’s eye.Ling might be right, though… I’ve heard that some would-be arsonists become firemen…just like violent types sometimes become cops to keep from becoming thugs … and some are both…
That white bunny surely thinks he’s in Carrot Heaven.

He’s standing there, feeling tall and powerful…..thinking…. “Dog” is “God” spelled backward….“God creates, Dog destroys….” OK, down, RustyBoy…
Remember…. MAN has the car keys…and brings home the kibble.If you know which end your Alpo can is opened on…cool it.

Monkey….
How did you know?“Murder on the Oriental Rug Express” is Rusty-boy’s favorite book.
As for his other “accidents” … you know he hates for his little problem to be discussed in public…
but I will say the rug has been replaced with that coral linoleum for a reason.
