Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 27, 2012

Well, he may have thought it up while he was in the tub…

But you can have so much fun in the tub! Hot water, suds, a sponge, the occasional Rubber Ducky…you can do a LOT!

YOU OLD ALSO.lol

Knowing Teddy, he probably thought it up while fighting a bear on a mountaintop made of angry bees.

It’s what I have always referred to as “the make do crew”. Ingenuity comes from necessity. Thinking of a way beats complaining every time.

I think that’s called making necessity a virtue.

Hobbes has deep thoughts about it!

It’s amazing some of the ideas that you can come up with in the bathroom

Oh I bet he was.

Does it mean what is appears to mean?

It worked for Archimedes…….

“Brighten the corner “where you are”!"

@SUSAN NEWMAN,Is that where the term “a tub of lard” originated? :o)

@rogue53,“Ingenuity comes from necessity”. A Rocky and Bullwinkle alternative title could be “Necessity is the mother of invention.”

I always liked that quote. In other words, make the best of what you got and quit feeling sorry for yourself.

“…on the good ship Lollypoop…”

jeffk315,“Everything he has made, died.”, including George Carlin.But one (Jesus Christ) rose from the dead. Therein lies our hope for everlasting life! Have a nice forever!

The complete quote was (or should have been):“Do what you can with what you have where you are, just don’t doo in the bath tub!”

I think mom will want to throw Calvin out with the bathwater when she finds out “he did what he did with what he had and where right where he was” : )

Awwwww, Well remembered Calvin.

xxx

To be sure,when that was quoted the bath tub was not part of it.

Suds: the final frontier. Calvin’s 5-minute mission: “Tub boldly go where no presidential quote has gone before.”

if you know what I mean :>

This all sounds a little like Buckaroo Bonzai: No matter where you go, there you are.

Warm water philosophy – pithy and soapy all at once….

Personally, I always thought of the bathroom as my think tank. It’s the only place quiet enough to get a good thought in. And the acoustics are great when you finally say, “Yesssss!”

The bathtub is where I do some of my best thinking!

;-)

INGSOC: I haven’t been online since Friday, 2/24, so this is in response to your comment regarding my cute avatar you left me that day:

I had never seen a hummingbird in person until I met my husband-to-be almost 24 years ago. I lived in Indiana and his parents lived on a farm in Georgia. The first time he ever took me there to meet them, his mother had a hummingbird feeder filled with bright red nectar hanging in front of their screened-in porch. All day long that summer, we’d watch those tiny, sweet little birds — dozens of them — coming down from their nests in the trees to get themselves a drink before flying off again (my favorite was the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, similar to the one pictured here). My in-laws have since passed away so we don’t get down there much anymore and I really miss getting to watch “her” hummingbirds play and drink their nectar every day. I inherited my dear mother-in-law’s feeder when she passed away in 2003 but I haven’t put it out because I don’t see hummingbirds around here. But my husband and I often talk about moving further south one of these days and when we do, I’ll put it out then and I hope that we’ll get to enjoy the company of these sweet little birds again and remember how much my mother-in-law loved and enjoyed them when she was still with us.

I will never be able to hear that quote again without LMAO.

lol dunno about it

most of em’ weren’t.

While I agree with Teddy on this one. It is easy to say when you come from an affluent family.
