Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for July 23, 2024

I’ve called clouds cirrus before. They never complained.

He just didn’t want to act too familiar.

Hummm … Thought Fred was a “Tick” ;-)

I know a nimbostratus cloud when I see one, but I’m not one to gossip.

Nimbus. Numpty. Close enough

Even they were cumulo-nimbus?

I’ve always just called clouds, “clouds.”

RJ obviously got “Nimbus” confused with “Nimrod”.

I will just note that "RJ “requested” clarification of the TYPE of cloud – NOT the NAME of the cloud – I will ALSO note that almost all “clouds” are sufficiently short-lived that they don’t need names – rather like “mayflies”… “Fred” obviously is an anomaly…

I’m also a Fred, we Fred’s have to stick together.

Reference to Fred Hoyle and his The Black Cloud?

Do you let Goku ride you, Nimbus Fred?

Our weatherman’s name should be Cumulo Numbskull Esq.

Remember … you can’t have “Verne” without “nerve”.
