The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 14, 2021

It turns out that’s a myth: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cracking-knuckles-arthritis/

“You’re tutu controlling”

Even less celebrated Christmas classic: “The Nut Scratcher”

Time to impanel a joint committee to get to the bottom of the issue!

Boy,she’s a real nut … (no, I’m not going to say it).

Say, can you use one of them thar nutcrackers to crack pigs knuckles? Inquiring minds want to know…

Awwh, Nuts!!

Or the evil Christmas tree ornament attacker, the “Ball-Buster” !

I thought it was funny even if he was just a NUTcracker.

I wonder if in current 2021 Nutcracker ballet stage performaces the dancers don’t talk but wear face masks along with the audience to curb the COVID variants of DELTA and OMICRON…

I once heard of a doctor wanting to test that theory. He cracked his knuckles on only one hand and never did that on the other hand. I never heard how it came out but initially (some 30+ years) there was no difference.

So…it’s true?!

Tough to fight the mouse king with arthritis.

Sweet.

Learn to speak louder and more clearly.

I guess no one told her about the mangled feet and crippling injuries she’ll have to endure. I guess then she can play Tiny Tim.
