Time to get a rabies shot.

A salt.

Throw salt on a salt and what do you get?
Salty language followed by...

wait for it...


Assault.

Is it Halloween already?

Or is this the express elevator?

Beats the handbarrow.
Next session includes the first wife for balance.

Rhymes with mouse.

Sometimes a cigar is just exactly what you think it is. And sometimes it is also a new sports car for the therapist.
Billing bonanza.
They make a medicated shampoo for that.

How's that pronounced?

A tongue twister, with the stress on the blot.

Tongue twister.
It's over her head. Literally.

Don't have a cow.

Don't you just h8 that?

Ye Olde Ffaste Ffoode.

Does anyone say toemahtoe?

Did you ever have the feeling that someone is watching?

As Thomas Magnum always said, "I know what you're thinking."

At least they can look ahead in the script to see how it ends.
Bing:
For any villains we may meet
We haven't any fear.

Paramount will protect us,
'Cause we're signed for five more years.

Maybelline.

Joining the ranks of pigs and hockey moms.

And former governors of Alaska.

X-rayted.

Busted, as it were.

Exposed.
Something on your mind?

Efficiency.

High marks for efficiency. No wasted time on needless preliminaries.


The engineering department would be proud. She probably was thinking chess, anyway.

The pickup artist.

One more wheel makes all the difference.

Here's hoping that Duane never walks on a bike path.
It is impressive that he persuaded Taffy to step out with him, though.

Reset button.

The long-lost cousin from South America has an identical twin who faked her death during the earthquake, but then she fell and struck her head, suffering amnesia, after which she was mistakenly identified as her sister, who by a strange coincidence was switched at birth with her sister, and is, therefore, really her own twin.
It was then that the bus spun out of control and stopped on the edge of the cliff.

Occupy Miami.

We need to sit-in until the Miami Herald restores B&C to its daily comics lineup. I assume that Gene and The Washington Post will be paying for us to occupy The Ritz-Carlton for the duration.

Especially now that it's turning into 9 Chickweed Lane.

Silver sixpence in her shoe.

He's well-worn, or wears well.

Allowing for wear and tear.
But he's not wearable. Putting him on is also doubtful.

And thus was a phrase coined.

Which explains why people were so often given the bird when they asked for the time of day.

And in the Autumn and Winter they used turkeys,  which meant that time passed much more slowly.

Cola nuts.

That, and the cameraman used a lot of crank.

That's why it was sold in drug stores.

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Channeling Caulfied.

Call me madam.

Or that would be redundant, mistress of irony.

Saturday, October 8, 2011

Fatal error.

You bought a Windows computer.

The mother of all errors.
I cannot put my finger on it, but I suspect that there might be a trace of sarcasm in Cynthia's explanation.

Time flies when you can't remember last night.

Pope Gregory off the wagon.

Fluffykins McHasagimmick.

Is Adolf a rabbit or a hare? He cannot be both.

The canny Scot.

Aye, and he'll make a fine stew.

The Scotsman's Big Mac.
For that I'll expect you'll do the butchering. And dressed, the skin will make a sporran.

The grapes of drats.

Cynthia is a regular maenad of picky eaters.

It's an orgy of complaints. To paraphrase Terminator, "I'll be bacchic."

Cart before the horse.

 There was an accident when a horse-drawn wagon careened down a hill into a tree.

Which came first?

Happy Birthday, Gene.  Get any good presents?
