Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 04, 2010

Gentlepersons: I’ll be on a quest for the elusive coprolite until next weekend, so do not fret over my absence.

coffee + sugar = calvinator!

Kelvinator, the flying refrig.

oh Marg.. we fret already……….

What is coprolit Marg?

It is petrofied dinosaur dung.

**Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Kizzzy! Good Morning L’Wolf! Good Morning Grog!**

cop·ro·lite    [kop-ruh-lahyt] –noun a stony mass consisting of fossilized fecal matter of animals.

Drink up, Calvin………………you need all the energy you can get! To run from Mom & Dad when you are in big trouble!

GMorning Mike Marg & Grog!

Have fun, Marg!

From the fiercest dinosaurs to the gentlest humming bird. This kid has some imagination.

It is a vicious cycle. He has to drink to flap and flap to drink.

Is that why he has so many bird-brained ideas?

Have a great trip, marg!

Get that kid away from the soda! In fact, don’t even have it in the house!

I love to watch humming birds at the feeder. If the feeder is swinging, the bird just goes back and forth with it.

Have fun marg, don’t step in anything fresh. :)

\\//_

More soda pop? No, it’s the same 2 L bottle he started at 10:00 this morning.

SPAMINATOR STRIKES AGAIN!

What an imagination. Now if only he’d put that energy toward constructive use.

Good Morning, Marg, Mike & ♠Lonewolf♠

Have fun, Marg

Calvin, wait till you discover the amazing revitalizing power of caffeine.

Now all Calvin needs is a bowl of chocolate covered sugar bombs!

Where you looking for that stuff, Marg?

Have fun anyway.

For those of you who enjoy our little “Feathered Jewels”, as Marty Stouffer used to call them, here’s a neat site. http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html There is all sorts of good information on hummers.

Genetically (evolutionarily) they are very close to each other. I’m sure Puddleglum 2 will say that it’s god who has imagination.

shakeswilly is an instigator. The evolutionist has great imagination! :o) “Oh Ho Ho it’s Magic, you know”

For once I can say this and mean it as a compliment…

marg, I hope you have a crappy vacation.

Let’s leave evolution and religion out of this, okay?

“He (the hummingbird) drinks half his weight a day.” That’s just a ‘swallow’ for us humans. Mom needs to watch Calvin like a ‘hawk’. Calvin is ‘eagle’y drinking soda. If I were he, I wouldn’t ‘crow’ about it. If they run out of soda, will Calvin go ‘robin’ somebody else’s refrigerator to get more soda? Calvin is en’raptor’ed with the caffeine. ‘Owl’ have to see whether this thread continues. If you think this is for the ‘birds’, you might be right.

…and today’s “most puns” prize goes to…

I guess Red Bull really does give you wings.

Hey Marg, so you’re a rockhound too? Where do you collect? Ever visit the Rock Tumbling Hobby site? Best site for rockhounds.

I’m the only one in my family is affected by caffeine. Effects my nerves and sleep pattern.

This reminds me so much of a friend of mine who is small-sized, buzzing with energy (and dangerous thoughts), and highly addicted to caffeinated drinks!

@ MARG, no riding bikes

Yes, PLEASE!

I will miss you, Marg. I enjoy your opening comments. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Ahh… these things make my day!!! and I’m one of those people that caffeine doesn’t affect at all!

Calvin, wait till you discover the amazing revitalizing power of caffeine.

I’d say that if he’s this much of a soda drinker already at the age of 6, then he most likely already has discovered “the revitalizing power of caffeine”, which is the reason he’s always bouncing off the walls and driving his parents crazy!!!!!

A question for Calvin’s mom: if she doesn’t want him drinking “soda pop” (or at least so much of it), then why on earth is she even keeping it in the house?!? My parents certainly didn’t keep that stuff in our house when I was a kid!!!

You get a chance you watch humming birds at a feeder,they are not very gentle or timid ,but neither is Calvin.

good riddance

Calvin is about to learn the meaning of a new word: “diuretic.”

I wonder what kind of soda that is. Coke? Squirt? 7-up? I usually don’t get hyper around soft drinks. Coffee is another story.

Calvin stoking up on the three essential food groups: fat, sugar, and caffeine. It’s my understanding that the latter is actually a primitive form of speed…..gotta have the essential elements to keep your imagination fired up and running….

Do any of you know why humming birds hum?

They don’t know the words.

(That should rhyme with “coprolite” somehow.)

bye marg hope your trip is successful.

Enjoy Marg!

My daughter-in-law used to do that all the time and wonder why she had so many urinary tract infections! Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teresa, I almost never read the extremely long comments. I find them boring and I wonder if anybody ever reads their whole rant. I think they just write to vent and don’t care if they are read.
