Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 15, 2023

A deep-diving submersible and now thrill rocket rides into space come to mind.

Broadcasting the king’s whereabouts? Great security!

When your Vaca includes a Death Zone I’ll take a Hard Pass !

Going by history, just being King was risky enough…..

It is unusual for The Wizard Of Id to have a story arc, let alone a story arc which lasts into a second week.

It’s not like you were going to get an audience with The Fink to begin with!

Us regular folks can risk our lives for free every day, just ride a bicycle in traffic.

Thrill seekers……

I thought that was what internet Influencer were doing? Why there goes another one, “Influencer plummets to death while snapping selfie”

I want a giant drone to stand on and pretend to be the green goblin / hobgoblin

Isn’t that called “affluenza”?

This is such an interesting arc. Yesterday I summited Mt. Timpanogos in Utah, and it kicked my booty! Approx. 1100 ft. Mt. Everest is 3 times as high. I couldn’t even imaging trekking that thing!

Heck, there are normal people who skydive for fun.

Death on K2: inside the world of elite mountaineering, where normal rules don’t apply

A top climber defended walking past a dying Sherpa in pursuit of a climbing record this week, but in fact this is all too common

Look at it this way: most of us get it for free.

I figure that I took enough risks when I was young, and survived not too badly banged up, …………… so maybe I should just cut back on the risk taking, in my old age ….. :)

Next the fink might try a sub ride….

Actually, he’s only climbing Ben Nevis but to him, it seems like Mt. Everest.

Bribe the guard and take over the reins, fellas. Keep the moat gates closed.
