Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 21, 2021

This would have been posted yesterday, but I fell asleep waiting for the new comics to load:

A wife has been complaining about the slow-running drain in the kitchen for some time now. She tells her husband, “You have to do something about the sink TODAY!”

“All right, all right,” the husband replies. Meanwhile, the wife feels bad about yelling at her husband like she did. A couple of hours later, she comes into the kitchen and sees a pair of legs protruding from underneath the sink. Thinking she can make amends, she kneels down beside the sink and proceeds to administer a first-class backrub. Smiling, she stands up, fixes her lipstick, and goes into the living room…where she sees her husband sitting in his favorite chair.

“Well, you’ll be happy to know I did something about the sink, Dear,” he says. “I hired a plumber!”

I’ve seen plenty of Bill Murray movies, but never Kingpin.

They could have used that delay time to fix the font to make it easier to read.

Geologists have rocks in their head.

What’s this, ancient climate change alarmism?

Texas = “wild” and “outrageous”…

Sounds about right.

What’s astounding about bowling 3 strikes in a row? When I bowled I did that all the time. My best game 10 pin was a 250 (a perfect game, all strikes is 300). In 5 pin a perfect game is 450, and my average was 350, best game a 395. I’d be impressed by a perfect game as that I’ve never seen but I’ve known children who could bowl three strikes in a row.

“What’s an Alaska?”

“I don’t know, Alaska.”

And when they want to say “weird”, they say “Austin” :D

Ja, han er riktig.

Not digging the new font.

And in Texas “Norway” means time for a nap.

Take care, may famous Rams quarterback Roman Gabrielord be with you, and gesundheit.

We saw Kingpin in the theater and laughed our butts off. Bill was fabulous in that role. “Tanqueray and Tab.”

TEXAS

Am I the only one who finds the new lettering hard to read? If so, do you find the way it’s lettered to be the problem, or the size?

That’s Bill Murray?? Thought it was a elfin wizard screaming at his cauldron.

In Canada, cattle guards are called Texas gates.

And in English, vandalism and barbarism is derived from actual groups of peoples.

After Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, N. America saw one of the coldest and snowiest winters in 1992/93

The Texas thing must be a recent development. Never heard it when I lived in Norway in the 80s – and I became very fluent in Norwegian at the time.

When we want to talk about something reckless and dangerous we say “Chicago”

hey, in usa ‘texas’ is also used for outrageous

I’ve heard “Los Angelization” to refer to something getting too big.

Bill Murray is funny ;-)

In Texas, we use Norway to describe how we’re not going, as in…we’re not going nor-way.
