Transcript:
Joe: And Guinness wouldn't take your word for it, eh? Eddie: Naw... they have some stupid rule that it needs to be witnessed to be a wahld recahd. Flo: Oh, how I wish that's wahk in heah...
I love Wiley’s Sunday strips! They give him room to stretch, and have fun…The first panel(s) with Eddie and Pauly shooting off the ski jump is priceless…Oooo…Oooo…And the one with the moon, and he’s sleeping….comedy gold…
And check out Eddie and Pauly’s perfect form as they extend out over the tip of his skis on exiting the ski jump. With all that aerodynamic drag, he still got in one heckuva jump!
Near Vancouver, one can snow-ski and water-ski on the same day with a short drive between. With a good lift-to-drag ratio or a favorable wind, perhaps one could fly from the ski slope to the water.
@Thirdguy — I used to know a guy like that. He was in the Marines, the Navy, a sniper in the Army, and and a pilot in the Air Force; he had so man stories to tell for each of them he would have had to have lived several lifetimes to match them all. But he told them so well, you were just mesmerized by all the intrigue and color and action in each of them. And, of course, he was the hero in each! And this was a guy I went to college with!

For once she wished that Eddie could walk in her diner and not hear all those big lies he tells….especially on Sunday.

I like Eddie. I like guys who can tell stories, and leave you wondering if it was true. The taller the better.

An outrage, why didn’t they accept the cat as a valid witness? Glad I stopped drinking Guinness; just stick to stout.
