Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 27, 2012

goat turned the table on rat!

He’s really getting rat’s goat.

What is it with these food related jokes these last few days? I don’t know why, but I like them…

Got your goat, didn’t he, Rat?

well, there are good beers, and bad beers. good is sam adams. bad ones are bud, pbr, coors, miller, fosters, and zima.

touché, Goat, on getting Rat a taste of his own medicine

YAY, GOAT!

Rat is right.

Good show, Goat! Gotcha, Rat!BTW, beer is still okay with me….

Rat finally gets a taste of his own medicine, with help from Goat! GO, GOAT! Incidentally, anyone feel like some yogurt?

I’m wondering…do today’s and yesterday’s strips have something to do with counter culture?(Probably too subtle for a lot of folks, but try anyway.)

No Rat, it’s called sweet, sweet revenge.

What ever it’s called..it’s still poison to me.

Now that’s a revenge )

Don’t forget the hopps. I like a strong India Pale Ale (like Stone IPA or Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA). As a kid I drank that Colorado Cool Aid, but now I want more flavor in my beer. I think it was one of the Monty Python crew that correctly described American beer as “like making love in a canoe, you know, f**cking close to water”.

Ok, build a still, get some corn….

nice bit of pay back

back at ya rat

Goat can sure be a fun guy!

I always called it “yeast urine”. Really annoyed my dad.

Oh, YEAH! Goat scores!

It’s still beer – so drink up!

Rat can dish it out, but he can’t take it. What a wussy.

Touche`

Go Goat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Payback’s a b!tch, Rat.

Tastes just the same.

I just pray that Pastis doesn’t make someone order a hot dog anytime soon…

As for beer, why not bring the worlds together and pick yourself up a Monty Python’s Holy Ale at your local specialty store? The taste doesn’t measure up to a Bell’s Oberon or a Granite City Northern Lager, but it’s more fun :)

Why is goat still stiing at the counter after this exchange? I expected him to be on the floor with stars around his head. Is rat getting soft?

@vwdualnomandPlease don’t toss PBR in with all of the other cheap beers. It’s a very underrated beer and has a good taste. That’s why it started becoming retro hip a couple of years ago when people tried it again how swore it off as a youthful mistake.

*who

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

BF (I think I got the quote right)

Rat got a taste of it.

I’ll take iced tea, thanks.

whats with the loaf on the guys head?maybe he pinched it off an italian…heh.

They’re both hypocrites

Some days you get someone’s goat, other days the goat gets you. No butts about it.

Rat makes up his own rules and exceptions to his rules.

BTW, in Germany, beer isn’t an alcoholic drink (except to those who see the effects of the disease), it’s a food group. Given to hospital patients, available in work drink machines and it’s OK to give to children of all ages.

Ugh. After putting it that way, I’m rethinking my after work trip to the bar.

I call it a miracle from heaven!

For those who don’t like what Goat is having, there’s always a small berry’s juice left to ferment by natural fungi.

Or you can use any of assorted grains (or even root vegetables) in warm water treated with fungi, boiled, reliquified, and then left in a wood container for upwards of several years.

I think I’ve just been “cured” of any alcoholism that I might be inclined to…..

TOUCHE!!

Goat strikes back!

I LIKE BEER

‘…It makes me a jolly good fellow…’

Rat, A.E. Housman, Tom T. Hall, and the McKenzie brothers endorse this song.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Eight comic books,

Seven packs of smokes,Six packs of two-four,Five golden touques!Four pounds of backbacon,Three French toast,Two turtlenecks,

And a beer.

“Beer is responsible for civilization . . . preserving its [grain’s] nutritive value thru to the following spring and single-handedly justified the rise of settlements and agriculture.”And of course, alcohol is ant-bacterial and anti-parasitic . . .

lol . . . nicely done!

One for the Goat!

78 (make that 79) comments?! What’s going on? Trying to outdo Dick Tracy , LuAnn , Alley Oop , or Endtown ?

Nicely played.

It’s best not to think about it and simply enjoy…

Yeast infections

yeast is not a fungus…

Now I understand why beer has always tasted like s@*! to me.

What a %$#^%@ comeback.

I love driving Rat up the wall.
