One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for May 27, 2024

Joe is Ruthie’s older brother. He is not helping Ruthie improve her English Language Arts.

Joe’s a student in the Jimmy Stewart School of Western speak.

And I thought Ruthie needed a hearing aid…

Without having done googling: Is this a Popeye quote?

Any noun can be verbed. —Alan Perlis

Verbing weirds language. —Calvin

That’s two separate words. “I hard ware them no-good var mints hid the gold.”

Joe trying to get out of spelling reminds me of Ruthie make use of a word.

Kids been watching way to many old western movies

I thought it was going to be something like “I’m gonna hardware them kitchen appliances into the electrical system real good…” ☺

Technically a verb and an adverb….

So he knows the articles of a sentence, but can’t spell?

No, just western jibberish.
