The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 03, 2025

Something about being seen but not heard

I know one little person who I wish would shut up and not talk to me anymore. Why don’t you go home?

She’s a precocious little ….. “darling,” isn’t she??!!!

/SHEESH\

She’s one to talk. Miss Obnoxious of Every Year, while Brutus is just a nice….born loser.

Well she has a point Brutus. Your friendly Spam calls are short duration.

Any gift he gets is from himself. It is a one income household. If she paid the power bill for him each month would they have extra money?

WOW Hurricane, commenters before me don’t seem to appreciate your “special” wit. Good to see ya Hattie

Why don’t you annoy someone else for a change?

Cold!

I wonder if Brutus has ever had the Chadwells conversation with Ted Forth.

Since HH brought it up, who would Brutus want to listen to for that long? I’m guessing the answer to both questions might be Uncle Ted. (Hope I got his name right.)

He’s got two ears. He could call his old phone and talk to himself.

Reminds me of the 3 1/2” floppy discs that gave you a whopping 5 hours of FREE AOL for a month. Had to budget about 10 minutes a day. Good times!

Apparently, she has yet to learn what it’s like to call any kind of Doctor or business, and wait on hold for 2-3 hours.

Go home Hattie !

Hattie, Brutus is old school like me. Maybe not quite as old school as I am, though. Growing up, we didn’t have cellphones, and we go along fine not talking to someone every waking moment of the day. Gave us something to talk about when we did call or saw people in person. Also allowed us to interact with the world around us. Now people can’t even get off the phone long enough to interact with a clerk to buy a soft drink at the Kwik Stop.

Hattie has no filter…

“And yet there you are. Standing in my house. Talking to me. Again…”

Yesterday Ramona. Today Hattie. Poor Brutus can’t sit in his own chair without attracting the riffraff.

“hopefully no one.”

I’m sure he could use it on more then just one person dear. :}

What a snarky Miss Priss! OY!

☺️☺️☺️

Hurricane Hattie should go play in traffic

Unlimited minutes?? Don’t let the good folks over at the National Fraternal Order of Police call center find out.

Ouch!

I, for one, would love to make the acquaintance of Brutus and to be his friend. And l believe that l am not alone in that feeling. if Brutus ever needs to burn off a lot of those minutes, let me know and he can have my number…..

Hey, I resemble that remark!

I’ve never understood unlimited minutes. I mean, there are only sixty of them in an hour.

I remember when phone companies charged a premium on long distance to support local calls.

Hattie the Horrible

Gillette and/or Clearasil needed. I know, I know…..freckles.

It’s not just Veebs, everybody uses him as a whipping boy.

Yeah, that 57K network signal was awful slow! Google is offering 1 – 2 gig now, but the 2 gig has a few bugs.

ba dum tss

Where’s a good roll of duct tape when you need one.

I’ve had unlimited talk and text since I became a senior, those cell phone services know old people have a small circle of friends or what?
