    Don’t knock ‘em ’til you’ve tried ’em (is this a record for the most apostrophes used – correctly – in a seven-word sentence?).

    “Castanholas” sounds pretty vulgares all by itself. :P

    I concur. I like the classics. That’s what I saw used in Seville, anyway.

    Not to pick nits, but that little critter appears to be a squirrel monkey… Its front-facing eyes are decidedly simian.

    For your information, Gweedo Murray has been visiting at the Wolf Den for the last few days. He has behaved so badly that his South-40 is quite flayed… Give him a day or two to recover before administering further castigation.

    Well, I was born to have adventure,So I just followed up the steps,Right past her fuming incense stencher,To where she hung her castanets….

    Man! There’s just no escaping it – even 12th-Century chess sets from Persia are missing a pawn.

    Upper part of #2 is a precursor to the George Foreman grill…

    Does any of the subscription go back to the cartoonist? or is it just more corporate fodder

    More recent research indicates, however, that while the raised temperature of the bee ball contributes to the death of the hornet, it alone is not sufficient to kill the hornet. The bee balls also produce a much higher level of carbon dioxide which, combined with the increased temperature, contributes to the hornet’s death. – Wikipedia

    Teresa, you know how much I love FA and Frog Blog. If, however, you insist on continuing to publish pictures of bees, wasps, and hornets, I will have no choice but to scream like a little girl.

    They resemble primitive percussion instruments-played by the folks at B.C. comics, or Alley Oop and his buddies.

    OH MY GOODNESS! A few hours ago, I was telling my co-worker about the Manhattan Mini Storage ad that Teresa has so kindly placed on FB this morning. It was the very first picture I took with my phone when I moved to NYC (in 2005). Ah, memories!I was also telling my co-worker how much I love the MMS ads because the topics can cause much discussion, depending on who’s around. For example – I took a picture of their new ad on Sunday night, which is text only and says, “RICK PERRY: THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD IS NOT GOD.”I’m thinking it. I’m just glad someone is saying it! :)
