Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 18, 2019

Rat’s philosophy: What are friends for?

Ha

That sounds good as a therapy to treat our problems, will there be such a thing in real life?

kind of like Pandora, isn’t it?

George Lakoff in “Metaphors we live By” discussed a person whose view of “solution of his problems” involved a vat of liquid, with all of his problems dissolved in the liquid. From time to time one would precipitate out and demand attention. But they never went away, they were always there in solution, and could precipitate at any time.

Bed bugs, roaches, and rat infestation.

Give them to the Homeowner’s Association.

Pensieve from the Harry Potter books ….. Croc Power !

I just dump my problems in the woods every morning.

Rat can always say: “Just kidding!” to Goat…

This is my opening farewell.

Since March 22 I – LameHawk – have been boycotted by GoComics. My comments and likes can be seen only by me. I have absolutely no idea as to the reasoning behind GoComics’ decision. I have enjoyed the cartoons and the comments, and don’t understand why I have been censored. I find it rather odd and have thus decided to close my account by tomorrow. So, goodbye GoComics

Requiescat in pace

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you… Psalm 55:22. Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3. Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. 1st Peter 5:7.

And “gift” is the German word for poison.

My problems are for me to solve and I very rarely talk about them. When asked I will sometimes discuss them but not in detail. I look in the mirror to find the cause of most of my problems, and ultimately most are transitory and even trivial. Life is too good to dwell on your problems.

And like the Beatles sang, “Mother Mary comes to me, Let It Be, Let It Be.”

…I put that box in a box, and mail it to myself, and SMASH it with a hammer.

♪ ♫ If somehow you could pack up your sorrows, and send them all to me….

Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg put their Christmas gifts in a box.

It’s a good way to get rid of garbage too!

Yeah great, give them to the guy who has more problems than you!

So now it’s a Pandora’s box

I tried putting my problems in a box, but my mother-in-law kept climbing out.

And with this gesture from RAT, PIG will surely go over the edge….

Too late to escape, Goat!

Happy birthday, Goat!

Goathead! Open it up!

Not so fast – it is a gift exchange! Check your porch, Rat.

Kind of like my “memory warehouse” when during those many times when it was inferior to my wife’s “memory warehouse.”

If only it was that easy

Just use an Amazon box.

One mans trash is another’s treasure. That’s what eBay is for. And apparently, porches… which is how I get rid of zucchini…

And it ain’t too hard it to get along with somebody else’s troubles,

They don’t make you lose any sleep at night.

As long as fate is out there burstin’ somebody else’s bubbles

Everything is gonna be alright.

And everything is gonna alright.

LOL!

What else is Goat good for? “We’ll always have Paris….”

I need this box! :)))

Perfect Pastis, my birthday May 18, 1955, chinese goat, Polish-canadian, sorry Paris.

Just burn it.
