Was Brutus a member o fhis high school’s marching band?

Didn’t Digby, Beau and John run off to join the French foreign legion?

More like roadkill, eh, Brutus?

Or a rock.

Says digbys son, I certainly have to believe him…not

I like to think Brutus as a Grateful Dead roadie.

Better than an unemployed Roadie!

I liked being a roadie. The work was hard but the people were fun. The pay was good. They fed us every 4-5 hours. I got paid to see the shows. Brutus could do worse, like work at an ungrateful cozy company.

Like a roadie? Brutus got a promotion???

I was thinking more like a rock or the road.

without all the amps and speakers to lug around…

Roadies make the rock star possible

I can hear Brutus singing, “On the road again, I just can’t wait to be on the road again…” Apologies to Willie Nelson.

GUFFAW ! ! !

Guess that’s better than roadie killie.

I’ve had a few of those jobs.

Hey now, you’re a rockstar…

Catering for the crew’s buffet. And a fine job you’re doing with it. The way you sport a hairnet on your mostly bare pate is a stylin’ touch.

Without the roadies, there is no show.

I would think that Brutus is treated like an old rock star, at least by his coworkers.

Poor Brutus. He works hard, but his boss will never appreciate him.

Brutus has so much – he often overlooks it. Has a job. Has a family. Has more than a decent life. Has a good heart. Little things like Mother Gargle and self loving boss are livable. Just count your blessing and always see half full glass like Uncle Ted and life will end very well indeed.

rather to be tread on then afloat in the sky waiting to be crushed by other rock stars. :D

Roadies are treated better than regular fans and Rock Stars are one in 10 million. Sell a million tea cosies and you will become that rock star. Shoot for the stars……

Awwww!

Brutus is a straight shooter!

Actually worse Brutus. Even roadies get to “imbibe” after set-up and tear-down. Or so I’m told…

And that’s on a good day!

More like the drums and his boss like to beat on him all day.

I think he meant toadie.

Maybe it’s time for Brutus to amp things up?

lugging tea cozies around is hard labor…

☺

More like a pothole or road bump!

It could be worse, Brutus. Roadies are a big part of every show…just behind the scenes.

Nice literary reference to Beau Geste!
