Brevity by Dan Thompson for November 08, 2011

Pole-ish jokes are not very PC.

Does that mean I should be looking at this on a Mac?

Meanwhile, grab that rope, kid, or they’ll have a pretty good laugh when you fall out of those pants and plummet to earth.

Would that illustrate the derivation of the word “em-bare-assed”?

OK, you’re right, I didn’t mention his house.

So fire me.

Hey, thanks Doc.

Ok, late on yesterday’s forum I replied to a few people, mostly about asking for ‘thumbs up’ on this site.

Few will see it, so please forgive me for re-posting it now….

"Aw, Mad Virgo…. thanks.

The answer, my friend, is still “I have a distorted mind.”

And many thanks, Otto, too….

Hey, I’d love to know what I’m “well connected” to — besides my butt in this chair.

It takes all of us to “lobby”.

I wrote long ago and suggested positive-only ratings for cartoons AND comments, something akin to Facebook “likes”, maybe, but I got no answer.

I see comments every day that I’d love to thumb up, or “like”, or, I dunno, give a gold monkey… whatever they choose.

Sadly, I think allowing negative feedback brought trouble to our previous site, which outshone the bit of joy it brought to a few people, like the friend I recently e-mailed, to whom I hereby apologise.

Anyway, I know they’re still busy working out glitches, and they also plan more site features, cos admins have posted to that effect.

Enough messages from us might influence them, though — just use the “Contact Us” link below, under ‘Help.’ "Thanks.

Did anyone salute?

And a chorus of “On a clear day…” can be heard by all.

Jose can you see?

Dogsniff and Digital Frog…well played….

Yankee, go home!

El Guapo — I think the guy hanging on the rope is the yank-ee. The others would be the yankers.

And Virgo, please — I hope you’re all right.

I never meant to make any killer puns.

He should start singing that Talking Heads song: “Burning Down the House.”

Revenge of the Nerds!
