You know, one of you could move out. Or maybe you could complain about each other, anonymously, on Reddit. (The banana thing and the TV channel thing are both pretty strange tho)
Speaking of squeezing toothpaste tubes, you know all those little hunks of toothpaste that fall in the sink? Don’t rinse them down the drain! Simply let them dry, and the next day scrape them out of the sink and save them in a jar. Next time you have guests over, you can shake them out on to a small tray and serve them as little after dinner mints.
Saying “very unique” isn’t just weird. It’s wrong. “Unique” means “the only one of its kind”. It is an absolute term. Either something is or it isn’t the only one of its kind, so modifiers such as “rather” and “very” simply do not apply. You might just as well say “rather twelve”, and “very seven”.
People who use “unique” to mean “unusual” are destroying the meaning of a unique word.
Sigh…. they really are like sisters. It’s kinda sweet and Frank is absolutely right. But this remember me an old saying. “More than enemies, they were siblings”.
I think Luann knows as much about Bern as her brother Brad. Heck now in 2021 she might be wrong on Brad about a bunch of things she might have knew about him back in the ’90s but not anymore as he has evolved over the decades since he moved out, got married and moved along with his life unlike some of the other characters on this strip. Anyhow, observant point by Frank!
So after today’s weirdness competition, tomorrow we tune in to see Nancy’s reaction to Luann actually doing thing around the house, and, how Bernice re-organized her system of dealing with the Fuse’s books. I expect pleasantly surprised, and, dismay, possibly anger (at least at first.)
There is absolutely nothing wrong or questionable about their friendship; all friends have points I wager that others might think are weird. I have said numerous times that the problems so many state are based on personal feeling, they don’t like Bernice, or think Luann is stupid or useless, totally ignoring that the strip is meant to be funny, quirky, but based on a benign world—Luannverse. Personally it’s tiresome to me, but I understand people can and should express their opinions.
Watching those two slackers just sitting around flapping their jaws would drive me nuts. They are acting like little five year old kids. I would have them both out getting jobs if that’s all they can do with their time.
One could open the hot dog buns, lightly brown the inside of the bun in butter, dust it with cinnamon and sugar, then place the peeled banana in it. Whipped cream optional.
You SHOULD hold your breath when someone sneezes. You should NOT lick envelopes, or chew pencils. As for eating bananas in hot dog buns, that’s gross but wins the weird imo.
Oh, God. Great way to put the cat among the pigeons, Mr Evans. I mean the Luann Kommentariat. There will be fatuous expostulations on every side of all possible non-issues for days!

Brdshtt Premium Member over 3 years ago
Everyone knows bananas in hot dog buns are always best with mustard and horseradish on them. Maybe a little onion.
Mordock999 Premium Member over 3 years ago
Jeeze.
Luann and Bernice are pointlessly quibbling like two siblings.
Perhaps it’s time they took another ill-fated camping trip and did battle with squirrels.
Or got a job. ;-)

Now that toothpaste comes in plastic tubes instead of metal ones, it really doesn’t matter where you start to squeeze!
Leojim over 3 years ago
I guess I’m kind of weird because I like my volume on an even number also, except for my fetish of 22, 33 or 44, to which are even also.

Thank you Frank for stopping who can top each other.

I hold my breath after someone near me coughs or sneezes. What is so weird about that.

Luann blows her bangs? That’s an obvious lie. If Luann blew her bangs, her eyebrows would blow away with them.

You can turn on your phone, fire up your tablet, but the smell of a new open book….. Bern is my spirit cartoon.
SactoSylvia-II over 3 years ago
Ah, but they can’t both be weirdEST, Frank… as I’m sure Bernice will point out to you any second now.
lvlax over 3 years ago
That’s easy.. The fact that Luann keeps Bernice as her BFF, after how she always treats her, makes her the Weirdest.

Even numbers are pretty weird. I always keep the volume at a multiple of five, like a reazonable person.

I HATE the phrase “very unique”! “Unique” means “one of a kind”. How can anything be “very one of a kind”??? Drives me nuts. But Luann’s dad is right…

a banana in a hot dog bun sounds interesting, if only I liked eating bananas. I wonder what gets smeared on top of it.

Who DOESN’T prefer the volume on an even number?
Well, or on a multiple-of-a-quarter, I suppose.

Bananas in hot dog buns is a good idea. I’m going to try it, maybe with some chopped nuts and chocolate sauce.
