“And once we open this last franchise here, Chick-fil-A will have total market domination in Europe!

I’ve never heard of using LinkedIn for dating.

Even though her father was a Little Person, Elizabeth grew to be as tall as most other people.

“Where in the world is Carlos Sandiego?”

Yes, the brochure shows it’s looks lovely. But it’s on the others side of the earth.

I told you the eclipse was HERE and we are over THERE.

“I’m looking at a diagram. That is not a Cello.”

" No, you can’t keep that globe! Do you know how much it costs? Well, I’ve got the bill right here in my hand, Mr. Letsgoaroundtheworld! "

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3301 (April 9, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL).

For the gods they’d have cut out her heart/

It’s a sign of poor taste/

And a criminal waste/

Of a popular private part..
