“The Adventures of Earl MunchabagofFritos”

I have all of those experiences without all of the hassle of getting to the destination, losing luggage, etc. Television has more than violence, sex and inane stories, the travel and adventure programs are great. I ‘walked’ Hadrian’s Wall, visited the private rooms of Windsor Castle, underwater explored caves, etc.

whatever you say, Earl

I read a lot too!

Must be related to Walter Mitty

But did you watch attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion?

Should have kept it to fishing tales

He has to have a few tall tails to tell his grandson.

Earl could write a book about all of his non-experiences.

The last frame is me!

Imagination, is crazy, your whole perspective gets hazy, or something like that the song goes!

Must be the foods you are eating before bedtime that is giving you those dreams Earl!

You forgot to mention the night in which you set up camp by the Green River, and joined the barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight! :-)

So he and Clyde fixed up their little issue from Tuesday…https://www.gocomics.com/pickles/2022/05/10?ct=v&cti=2208697

Earl where is your Fishing Pole ? You are telling fish stories ;-)

Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story: https://youtu.be/clfP7HGCNck

You almost had me…… right up until the HOT COALS.!!!

Had my pocket picked in Rome…..

Aah! The bucket list with asterisks*****

Keep your fantasies as fantasies. Don’t try them in real life.

In the end, Earl comes clean!

Earl: the most interesting man in his mind…

Once dementia takes over , I bet I can come up with some really great stories for the nursing home staff.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have led such an interesting life that I’ve never had to lie about it (not even on the Internet). Flown a jet fighter upside down from the back seat, helped build a multi-million dollar free electron laser, reverse engineered a Laser Tag installation, wrote software for a project to turn sawdust into oil, performed a comedy belly dance on stage, wrote and produced several radio plays, married an amazing woman 24 years older, walked daily in the redwoods with two curious cats, worked more than ten Renaissance Faires, starved for a week in the Rockies …

Reminds me of someone that I used to date.

We can all have these same experiences and more now thanks to VR!

Imaginary experiences are often the cheapest and safest.

Experience?

Vicarious.

The late Bill Hicks, on stunt doubles in action films: "Do you want your grandmother dying like a little bird in some hospital room, her translucent skin so thin you can see her last heartbeat working its way down her blue veins?

…..

…Or do you want her to meet Chuck Norris?”

Gesundheit.

Reminds me of my New Year’s resolution, date no more than 5 super models this year……..So far so good!

Earl has lived large, hasn’t he? At least in his mind. Maybe he should write a book of all his journeys

I’ve got a list of things I’ve done in my life and most all are pretty unique.
