Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 06, 2011

Good bar talk,,,,,,,,,,,

I’m with Pig. Though I did always like the Mr. Softee truck.

Ah, Piggy! Sweet, naive Pig! How do you even manage to get to the bar/cafe on your own? But if you read your and Goat’s speech-balloons again, you will note that the homonyms are indeed spelled differently and are different in meaning. Did you ever go to grammar school?

Hmmm…. I like the food trucks at the farmer’s market, and the taco trucks on the west side of town, which move - though they do try to stay pretty still when you’re buying something.On the other hand I was the manager of a shop in the downtown mall on Oct 17th 1989, when suddenly, for a few minutes,NONE of the stores were stationary, not even the stationery store. Nobody could buy anything, though you’d think the prices would have fallen.When the shaking stopped I think we’d have said that we all preferred stationary stores.

Homophones.

As do I, Pig.

Wow… I really like this group. You guys are like popcorn with the follow-up puns…“pop, pop, pop”. Awesome.

“…the longest-running, permanent, stationary crop game in New York” just doesn’’t have the same ring to it, at least to this Guy.

So I guess this means Pig does not care to go to movies.

I guess Pig would never care to live in Mobile, Alabama.

^good one.

oxymoron: a stationary store on a cruise ship

I can’t stand anymore station’ry puns.

A rolling store gathers no moss…

If you order the cards by phone, does the guy who delivers them ride a stationary bike?

It’ll be useful!

xxxx

zing!!

I had a pet store once but we had to give it away…darn zoning laws!

Homophones? As opposed to “straight” phones.

Sorry, that was bad.

Homophone; a needed catalyst for ruthless pun-ishment.

Don’t we all.

Hmmm…. smells funny in here today. BMonk — thanks! But do get up… I don’t want to be responsible for any unclean habits. Just to add my 2¢ — Pig and Goat are both perfectly correct in their use of stationery/ary.Bdaverin — you must live within 100 miles or so of me! I’m in Santa Rosa.Oh — and @ the Womble – sadly, where I live they don’t allow pets that big either. And maybe you’re better off — it’s a more than full time job to keep a store.

And Woody, you can also try to lay them down. But it takes some good homophones.

I have a stationery bike; it was mailed to me by the company, and I unfolded it and started riding it right away.

Pastis must remember Gracie Allen.
