Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 05, 2019

Most people like Nads. Most people hate the Nats.

“Wolfman’s got nads!” — quote from famous movie

Well, at least Pig didn’t suggest the “Nadies” (Spanish for “Nobodies”); the punchline would still call in the C.S.C.

Who didn’t see that coming?

I’d say it’d take a lot of COJONES to name a sports team “The Nads”.;-D

If you want to inspire girls, maybe you should name a Women’s soccer, hockey, or basketball team. But I don’t think they will find Go Nads to be an inspiring cheer.

It takes a lot of balls to field a team in MLB…

I took a perverse pride in naming our college’s intra dorm basketball team the Flying Condoms, figuring the class newsrag would think it was just a misprint. We designed a logo that resembled a rubber (staring out “point blank”) flanked on each side by wings spread as if on the rise. No one tried to censor name or logo (of course that was in 1972).

Maybe Stephan should look into how the successesof the Eastern bloc athletes had been achieved.

I give this one a standing OVAtion.

Oh Rea

Rat, take a lesson from the Japanese Baseball League, the team called the SoftBank Hawks. Fukuoka, that is. Pronunciation is part of the grade here.

Had a young woman at work, and it was a more casual environment, named Nadine, who had herself written on a piece of her equipment ‘Go Nads’

Aw, NUTS! Mr. Comic Strip Censor rears his ugly head again. Can’t we kick him in the oompa loompas?

Plagiarism! Jake did that joke in Two and a half men :D and it wasn’t funny…

“Raisins in the raisin sack” was the best one ever…

Let’s Go Bucs ! ….. Croc Power !

The Rhode Island School of Design’s Hockey Team are called The Nads with other sports having equally colorful names.

At least baseball is generally not a contact sport. Though the other team’s catcher may be hit by Pig’s Nads at home.

Testesfy!

Well, THAT JOKE took balls to print…

I hope Nadia and her husband have a sense of humor.

pretty sure offended guy will pop up anytime haha

When I was a kid in the 70’s, I had a crush on Nadia

I know ‘a million moms’ that wouldn’t like the Nads.

The Rhode Island School of Design Hockey team is called the Nads. The Basketball team is the Balls. Their motto “When the heat is on, the Balls stick together”

Bravo!! Bravo!! Well played!!!

Several years ago in the high school where I taught the Calc teacher had a contest he called ‘World Series of Calculus.’

Daily results on the mourning announcements.

The Principal was less than thrilled that one team chose the name Latus Rectums.

Everyone’s already grabbed all the good puns.

Reminds me of a guy in my high school class. Verily, it doth.

My standard for testing the P.A. system was “Testes, testes, one, two…THREE?”

and they’ll hire Tess Tickles to lead the cheer.

Snort!

Happy Year Of The Pig

A number of years ago, GM tried marketing a compact car in South America. It didn’t work out. After some study, they discovered the problem. The vehicle was the Nova. It the local languages, the name said “It doesn’t go” (no va in Spanish, nao vai in Portuguese). I really don’t know if this is true or not, probably an apocryphal urban legend, but it does show the importance of a name.

One of Soupy Sales greatest: I take my girlfriend to the ball game. I kiss her between the strikes and she kisses me between the balls.

That name is taken__National Association of Distance Sprinters. That team runs in the Hood to Coast relay every year. The support van is easy to spot, it has two exercise balls on the roof.

This comic is beginning to lose its credibility.

Sounds like everyone’s already to second base

Who else was watching the Olympics in 1976 when her marks came up “1”?

Rat: When a batter has four balls, he is awarded first base.

Pig: Walk with pride!

One of the funnier ones in a loooong time.

Wolfman?

The US Navy has a repair facility for all things aviation, the Naval Aviation Depot, originally abbreviated NAVAVNDEPOT. In the 1970s there was a movement to shorten the name. Yes the popular choice was the Nad’s for the plural form. That seemed to be the accepted choice until the top brass caught wind of the jokes about cheering them on with, " Go Nad’s Go. The recognized abbreviation is now NADEP.

When I was in nurses’ training about 100 yrs ago, the interns’ basketball team we used to play was named the Nads…as was every other interns’ basketball team I ever heard of.

It was inevitable. Comic Strip Censor Guy had to defuse this potential double entendre before it exploded all over the comics page and/or website!

If you want to go juvenile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Longwang It f’d up lots of lives.

It’s the hockey team at Rhode Island School of Design (https://www.risd.edu/news/stories/go-nads/)

The basketball team is the Balls (“When the going gets tough, the Balls stick together.”

I’m surprised Rat didn’t want to kick Steph in the nads over that joke.

The Oompa Loompas can be their chief rival.

sorry Charlie,l used this same punchline/joke yrs ago as a corpsman in the military when the higher ups were searching for a name for our softball team,my suggestions were the Pecker Checkers or the Nads!!! : )

didn’t he do the “go nads” joke like two years ago?

alr ima necropost this thing now its popular again :D
