The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 02, 2020

Groan.

…Not even the louse who came up with this gag.

Nice of him to let you know.

a talking mouse would definitely create a stir…

I tried “shaken, not stirred”, but that doesn’t work so well with coffee.

Not a creature was stirring. . .not Evan the mouse.

Groan :)

Swizzle sticks? We don’t need no swizzle sticks.

Put in the sugar, put in the milk, pour in the coffee, it mixes itself.

I see todays offering “Stirred” up quite a few comments!

There should be Plum Fairies hovering over the sugar bin.

Our coffee shops have taken the sugar and creamers away from the public, thanks to COVID-19. I prefer mine BLACK!

Hardee har har.

Not a creature was stirring….someone had stolen he spoon.

“Jack! Go out to the swizzle tree in back and bring in an armload of sticks.

May your Christmas alphabet soup contain every letter of the alphabet,,except “L.” Noel, Noel.

It sounds like you have a bratty tatty ratty on your hands.

Is this the rat and why Garfield doesn’t want to share with Arlene, today?

OK – I’ll bet that guy today and answer to the several rat references: it is a mouse! Otherwise it wouldn’t be funny and work with the famous poem!

Upgrade the “Stick in the mud” to a swizzelstick.

I thought the rats in New York ate pizza; you don’t stir beer!

took me a minute

That’s a heck of a fat mouse. How much sugar did he put in that coffee? The people aren’t exactly svelte, either.

Stop complaining or you’ll be hung with the stockings.

Would Twizzlers work. We have many flavors.

The guy needing his hand and his eyes to decide there are no more swizzle sticks looks like Larry David with 40 more pounds on him.

Those would be stirring sticks. Swizzle sticks are sticks with crystals of sugar attached. You’d find them in a bar, not a coffee shop.

This could be a T shirt or a mug. Needs a Christmas wreath in the window of course.

LOL!!! High five, Scott!

Not even a mouse…
