Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for August 16, 2012

LOL Singleness meltdown….why do they do that in restaurants, it’s so demeaning!!

Charlene and her husband aren’t helping diffuse the situation by answering in unison! Why didn’t Cathy ask Charlene out alone? Oh because it wouldn’t be funny! :-)

Gee, I don’t know why they’d have to think about it, Cathy… (looking away and shifting uncomfortably in my seat)And it sounds silly, the word “accoutrements” is cracking me up. I thought my mom was the only one that used that word. I might have to add this to my vocabulary now that it has appeared in Cathy. LOL!Good morning, mollie and Shyygirl! Glad to see you all here in the morning!Good morning, Susan and Aaron! Aaron is either doing something incredibly active that makes me feel like a lazy bones, or he’s still in bed snuggling with LMB, which sounds like a fantastic idea. :-)Hello to GretchensMom, KFG, Billy, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli, AnonaMona, Bronzepony, simpsonfan2, tegm, legaleagle, catsarge10 and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

I hope she orders a Chill Pill as an appetizer. Worst date ever.

Hi Susan later in the day. :-) Morning lightenup Ms. Lazy Bones for sure compared to LMB and me. We’ve been swimming and then into town and back. Hi fellow Cathyites far and wide, arrived and yet to arrive.

The busy servers are just in dire need of more stuff so they can seat the other patrons and get their hard earned tips. ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU, CATHY!

I’m just remembering a time, long ago, when I had lunch in a cafe with two male friends. It was fine – we all got on, talked, laughed, chatted – but they ate faster than I did, and they ended up helping themselves to half of my chips!

They took the best ones, too – the big ones I’d kept until last.

(UK Chips = US french fries.)

Chocolate frosted brownie anyone?

We have a saying here: three is one too much. Cathy should have known…

Good afternoon lightenup and Aaron, still around? Just looking around before I go to bed…

Maybe everyone would be happier (including us) if Cathy sits at the bar and Charlene and hubby get a table for two!Afternoon, Cathy clan!

Even if I knew a hundred single men looking for a woman, I wouldn’t set any of them up with a nut job whack-a-doo like Cathy in a thousand years because I’d have too much respect . . . for them!!!!!

Aaron: You’re teasing us with a delicious-looking Chocolate Frosted Brownie . . . and then didn’t even hook us up with a recipe to go along with it?!?!?! If I didn’t love you so much, I’d really be mad at you for doing that to me — I mean US!!!!! I forgive you though . . . this time!!!!!

;-)

Good afternoon, lightenup, lightenupjr., Dr. K.F.G., Susan, lindz.coop, rgcviper, gmforde, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, hendelca, Gator007, legaleagle48, mollie05, AnonaMona, catsarge10, millie p, soonergal, Bronzepony, Molly mcgee, simpsonfan2, Shyygirl27, ruizuno1, artybee, Violet Bay and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here today. As always, it’s really great to “see” you all and if you’re new here . . . WELCOME TO CATHY’S NUTHOUSE!!!!! GLAD YOU’RE JOINING IN ON ALL THE FUN!!!!! ;-)

To heck with today’s Cathy strip, I just want one of Aaron’s brownies!

Um, Crazy Cathy, you’re not alone. You’re the 3rd wheel on your last date of this type, but you’re not alone. Back to Aaron with the Geez Louise

Dr KFG . . . calling Dr KFG. :-D

Wow youse guys are lucky Aaron made brownies today. The family recipe is sooooo good! One of the standouts is chocolate pudding mix. Makes ’em smoooooooth. I will assume without asking that mine are in the mail.

Hi LMB buddy I miss you so much! Oh, and Aaron too.

My friend (whom I’m staying with) says that, with the addition of chocolate pudding mix like Aaron does, THIS recipe is just great. I do know one more secret ingredient that Aaron uses but you will probably have to beg pretty please to get it out of him. No, it’s not pot ;-P

BTW, if any of you manage to get 24 brownies, as the recipe says, tell us how. If we get 8 we’re doing good. :-D

Sheesh—our Cathy (the comic character) is a true nut job. Has she considered seeking professional help>

Nah—because then this comic would be WAY too boring!
