The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 05, 2021

A bird on the arm is worth two on the tush!

He went stork raven mad.

He can have a bald eagle on his head…

And then there is his woodpecker…

My first thought was: I’m thankful I’m part of the dwindling numbers who can still read cursive.

I’ve had lots of birds, but no egrets.

Give peas a chance.

Taking away Cursive isn’t the only thing that suffered! One’s style, personality, artistic flare and expression of one’s ability to communicate with feeling. One was recognized by his ability to write his name on papers, documents, etc. No two people write the same.

Dumbing down AMERICA has been happening when that fatal day in schools, allowed calculators in the classrooms and that begun a trend and spiraled downward when students didn’t have to THINK anymore. Common Core Curriculum is the worst in the history of this nation!

This is very, very clever—Nicely done!

Know Egrets. Even one. ;-)

The Audubon Society is changing its name. Apparently John was a bit of a racist.

He now greets his guests with no regrets about his “Know Egrets” tattoo with Greta, his great new gnu.

Pastis and Rat would like to have a word with you.

he has “no regrets” about the tattoo, eh?

Egrets, I’ve had a few

I like cursive and practice it daily but body ink stinks!

Whoa, a bad boy!

Arthur is a peckuliar guy.

Have you heard. The birds the word.

Re: human trafficking. It’s a bad thing, and there’s way too much of it in the world, but it’s just bizarre to call it a “real pandemic” when there an actual real pandemic in full swing that’s so far stricken 250 million human beings and killed off (not merely enslaved) 5 million of them. It’s not an either/or proposition. We need to fight against both of them.

The tattoo guy looks exactly like the one who gave me my first and only tattoo 53 years ago. He called himself Sailor Joe, and his parlor was next to the Trailways depot in D. C. Ink artists don’t look like Sailor Joe anymore, I’m pretty sure.

Typical profile of an egret sexual offender.

What a waste of my time and the nuns teaching me cursive writing. Now cursing is different.

Tagging onto gmu328’s comment: He had to come back and get it done right. The first time, on the other arm, they tattooed: No Egerts

It took me far to long to process this one! Worth a smile.

groannnn…

Love Egrets.
