Sorry, Vista Bill, I’m second!

But while I have you online, so to speak, what do you think of “almost 30” year-old kids still living in their parents’ home? You can be candid with me (you said you were “old”), I just turned 71. Is it a sign of decadence? Or hard times? Or bad parenting? Or bad kids? Or what?

Wonder if the caller is an Overkill agent . . . trying to get his $50M back via an in-kind black op by Sorky Baby, only carried out this time within the States.

Help me out here, folks. If Sorkh Razil is inside a cave deep in, say, the Rockies, with a B.A. flat screen (presumably an online or closed-cicuit computer monitor) how does he get signal? If he runs a line out and an antenna up, doesn’t he risk detection by the leftwing forces of evil (i.e., teachers, firepersons, etc.)? Also, wouldn’t there be encryp-decryp probs? Hopefully, under this scenario, Overkill will have world-class engineers all over it like perfumed artificial-tanning spray on Paris Hilton in mid-winter.

Man cave refers to a room in the house designated for the leisure pleasure of males 16+. It is equipped with large screen TV or TVs, video games, surround sound audio system. The furnitings consist mostly of leather couches.

Oops, my bad for knowing not. However, if so, then how is RR going to perform his heroic black op against the evil liberal-lefty teachers and fire fighters?
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Okay, group, how does this 46"-Samsung-equipped man cave work for Sorky Babe?

At least 55".

In this series of man-cave pix, the 8th one down has a flatscreen that is described as “movie theater sized”. Big enough for Sorkh Razil. But if so, how will he utilize it to carry out his jihad against the evil teacher-fire-fighter foes, to delete their remuneration, and to enslave them, i.e., to get the same labor out of them for zero money — just food, raiment, etc.? Or would he set up a “Company Store” economy? Hint: treat them as Hitler treated the Jews and other “sub-humans”? Going to be tough — skin-heading or KKKO-ing or Nazifying an entire nation against teachers and fire fighters..The link is:.http://www.qualitybath.com/blog/design-inspiration/setting-up-your-man-cave-for-super-bowl-sunday/

Who’s he trying to impress, G. Martin? Overkill? Zipper? Some woman of his fantasy? Such as Taylor Swift? Mila Kunis? Or Miley Cyrus?

Anybody ever contemplate the poetic fact that “Sorkh” rhymes with “Dork”? and “Razil” rhymes with “Brazil”? “Dork in Brazil” conjures up “Alice in Wonderland”, only snarkier.

Kids today just take longer to transition into the real world.Have you ever heard a bigger load of codswollop in your life? With that kind of parenting, no wonder Jeff turned out to be such a loser.

Some might take longer than others, but going to Walden and self-esteem over education might cause more problems than it solves.

if a person is already mad and you “drive them mad” do they get sane?

To me a “Man Cave” is a retreat where a man can be a man with the things he enjoys without interruptions from female types.

Yeah, I can see today’s crop of Republicans reading Plato. NOT!

This is in reference to yesterday’s strip but nobody’s looking at that anymore so I’m gonna post it here. I miss the days of this strip being intelligent, rather than an extension of the democratic party, much like MSNBC. The top 1% of our nation pays over 95% of the taxes. http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/30/top-1-paid-more-in-federal-income-taxes-than-bottom-95-in-07/ So if that’s not enough, what is? What about when our Marxist president says people making 100k a year are included in the “wealthy” bracket and have to pay way more taxes than they can afford? How far does the rabbit hole go?

Congratulations, Garry Trudeau, for getting family newspapers to publish the word “ass” in your comic.

So that’s what it takes to be a man — a large-screen tv and a leather couch? Whatever happened to courage, decency, courtesy, honesty — stuff like that? Oh I know, it’s left to women.

I noticed professor chaos has been missing this week. Maybe he is enjoying Mallard Fillmore and Prickly City.

I’m 61 and still resisting the urge to transition into the real world!

What’s that, call waiting? It’s Breivik, He don’t like payin’ taxes and is mad as hell too. What’s a rascal to do?
Not to mention the pesky gnat buzzing in his ear. “Get a job, buzz buzz.” “Move out, buzz buzz.” “Keep it real, buzz buzz.”
