Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 17, 2012

obviously he has no idea the customer base he serves

hourly rates available…

Either way, it’s going to be a run down rat hole.

No no, that’s right.

@Stripseeker Read SusanSunshine’s comment to me from yesterday, w/o a single clue she manged to have one guess correct and one pretty close. In the interest of having a clue, it would not be a jedi at my space bar. As for today’s comic I think a hotel was the only place Clinton wasn’t caught.

@SusanSunshineQuite impressive.

They’d make more money leaving the sign as painted…then again, even more with “Day and Night Sinn?”

Then they can build a luxury hotel:

“Night Sinn White Satin.”

JK — really??!!I was just throwing out all the JK’s I could think of off the top of my head.

I do a LOT of crossword puzzles (mostly cryptic) and post a lot of bad puns….so I guess I’m used to wordplay and “fill in the blank” type situations.

Anyway I guess it’s not Jedi Knight….and probably not Jeff Koons either. LOL.

This is why kerning is so important.

Meanwhile….@Stripseeker….

Wow…..thanks.Not every day I hear such sweet words.. but then, you’ve never met me… LOL….If I were actually that wonderful I probably wouldn’t be single!Meanwhile….please…. don’t count your life in negatives…not by what you’ve lost, or what you “can’t”…but by what lies ahead!I’m one of the older…. OK, not oldest but definitely among the older…. of the posters here…but I try to look forward in every way I can!

He will do wayyy more business that way.

It wouldn’t work in the Bible Belt.

lightenup: Why not? Those who protest the most are its best customers.

@ J K

Many thanks for this. Think it has finally sunk in. You’re a Star Wars fan, is this it?If so, thanks for this last clue. Am just naturally slow. Couldn’t get to a post before this.As for Bill, don’t know for sure if he wasn’t caught in a hotel yet , or whether we just haven’t heard about it yet, or if he’s booking reservations as we speak (type).Definitely like the guy, but he didn’t earn the monicker “Slick Willie” for nothing. He’s a slippery devil.Haven’t tried the link again as yet, but will , as have it written down , and will check again when time permits.Will not accuse you of being Bill again, but will think of you as a J K.Hope to see you here again.As for Susan, she’s a doll.

@ J K

And a sharp one.

@SusanSunshine

Love your spirit and sense of fun.Truly believe in Rule 20 also. Great to see your posts. ….“what lies ahead”….Absolutely.Am constantly amazed by the surprises that are ahead, not to mention you and J K.Has been great fun to meet you both (online).(Note):Not as young as in former years, either, but those younger years were not all that hot.Am having more fun now. Love you. Really.

@SusanSunshine

…..“.leave the sign as is”….This is the way to go. Leave it and watch the money roll in. My vote is to leave it alone..

@ J K@SusanSunshine

Thanks to both.. J K -Checked Susan’s reply to you yesterday, and she was right on target, missed by me.Susan had to name it twice. @Susan…..Day And Night Sinn…..My kind of place.…..Night Sinn White Satin…..Can’t afford luxury accommodations, so would have to pass this one by.Pun over the top.Guys’ loss for you to be single.Day And Night Sinn….. room, please.

Like some cake disasters,?

@ J k

Just tried link again, and, following highlighting and right click suggestions, would you believe, wound up at August 17th Marmaduke!Am either wacky, computer is wacky, or both.After all, took 2 days of clues to get JK meaning. Never did beat anyone in figuring out that Col. Mustard did the deed in the study, with the candlestick. Lost every time. Clueless?Will check to make sure link was copied correctly, following highlighting and right click.Thanks again.Hope to get it right sometime in near future. Want to know more about Bill.

@J K@Susanshine

For all your help, would like to refer you both to my favorite YouTube video.Ever want to let somebody have it in the face with a pie?Every time feeling pent-up boredom and aggressive tendencies, turn to "The Three Stooges Pie Fight-1941.Works every time.3 Minutes,32 seconds of non-stop pies.Have often wondered what the tab was for all those pies. Had to be steep in 1941$.Also, for other great fun, Old Fart rants for old farts- political opinion, with an edge ‘cause he’s usually right on target. A few spicy words here and there, but not excessively so.May offend political sensibilities of some, but fun. Thanks again.

Too funny. I think that every day when I drive by the one near me. I never drew it up, but that’s how i read it, too. It’s probably a place for one night stands.

@DanReynolds

Thank you. Quite possibly, though they don’t wish the public to divine the subliminal message!
