B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 23, 2019

We take our victories any way we can.

Theologically speaking, there are parallels. “Perfect” contrition means you are sorry because something you did was morally wrong. “Imperfect” contrition means you are sorry because of the punishment it deserves.

X Box in B.C.? That too, for ants? Amazing!

A better question is, “Have you been Sarcastic this Year?”

The answer is “Yes!” Thanks, you smart mouthed little snot. XBox goes back to the store on the 26th! :)

Graduate, get a good paying job and don’t worry be happy.

It is the way of things: take action, expect a reward

The second panel has theological implications. Do you practice your religion solely for the purpose of “eternal reward” for yourself?

I used to be an Air Force pilot. It sounds like a glamorous job, but the hours are long, family separation is a way of life, they send you to places like Korea where you sweat your butt off in the winter and the Philippines where you sweat your butt off any time of year. They send you places where people don’t like you and shoot at you.

For all this, there was extra money in the pay check at the end of the month. We used to say with great sarcasm when in an uncomfortable situation, “All this and flight pay too!”

The money was not worth the aggravation. The reason pilots flew is because pilots LOVE to fly.

I carried this philosophy over into my civilian career too. There are some jobs you cannot pay me enough to do (elementary school teacher, policeman, nurse, day care worker to name a few – I am glad there are people who want to do these jobs). I’ve always liked what I did for a living therefore, I got good at what I did and a living wage was a consequence.

If you don’t love living your religion, I think you are missing the point. It is all about the journey; not the destination. According to my religion (anyone remember the Baltimore Catechism?) God made us to be happy with him – on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Christmas has turned into the ultimate method of bribery.

I’m good without gods.

Quid pro quo ?

Is that a pipe or a coffee cup in the dads’ hand? Either way, it shrunk.

What does it mean to volunteer if you get something for it?

That just means he’s good at lying.

Whatever works. Not a huge problem now days.

Yeah. Ant-X!

Ah , the Humants live more like humans.

I guess that he wants to be a politician.
