Wapsi Square Forum

I remember Graham Kerr doing a version of that joke on Galloping Gourmet (late '60s). I think it was the Russian/Polish border.

I kinda don't need another archive dive right now. But thanks!

Thought it was funny when my mom did that. Until it started happening to me . . . .

We've been calling off-season commercially shipped lycopersicons "ballistic tomatoes" for so long that I don't remember how it started . . . .

I read The Whiteboard (and the Tinker's Guild forum, which is way crazier than the strip), QC, Girl Genius, and a whole bunch of others.

Yesterday I rode my bike downtown to the farmer's market, and discovered I had no keys. Zipped back home; they were in the lock on the front door. House door to market door is only about 0.75 mile in a straight line, so did not take long, and I got a little bonus exercise. It has been warm here, tho...

Woohoo! Sláinte! Enjoy!

I've been working remotely since 2015. Planning to stick with the job another 19 months, unless it goes south sooner, times being how they are.

Well, most of the scientists I know, you'd want a whole lot of brain bleach handy.

Yeah,my sleep cycle's been erratic the past few years,

Lately I'm sleeping more but waking up tired. After years of midnight alertness and running on short sleep.

And this one has been fed enough to expand into another dimension...

The Plane of Pun Jars?

Does Arkansas have a state agency that would be able to identify it?

Some decades ago, I was swimming laps at the local Y when a woman in the next lane, swimming in the other direction, accidentally grabbed my crotch.

I about drowned.

Neither of us acknowledged it.

Including the worst STD of all . . . children!

Sometimes known as athlete's fetus . . .

You should be quite ashamed of yourself . . .

Tempting people to steal a line like that.

Where were the girls like that when I was a teenage boy?

Contracting STD's.

I grew up in a coal-mining county, and a lot of people still heat with coal out there. One time when I was about 14, everyone else was away, and I thought the furnace had gone out. We had a gas barrel, so I thought I'd use a little gas rather than screw around with kindling and everything. Well, the...

We lucked out here. Only 3 inches of snow with rain at the end. I didn't have to shovel at all. Brother and I were at our old place in the Alleghenies for the weekend, left Sunday morning ahead of the front. Half the eastbound traffic on the PA Turnpike was electric utility service trucks. Never see...

Farfel the dog wasn't Winchell?

Head's rotting worse than I thought . . . .

Good quiz! I didn't get any of them.

But now I've got Nestles Qwik commercials from the '60s stuck in my head because of Winchell.

I can remember TV commercials from 1957, but not what I read last week , , , .

I think maybe it was in the Pub Room for past hiatuses, but not much is happening in there, either.

Glad I looked in! Man, that looks like fun. Have not been to Colorado/New Mexico in more than 25 years now. All my road trips through there were memorable. Eastern mountains are a lot lower, and I never had a lot of wind even at peak fitness, so I can appreciate hiking at 12,000 feet. I always notic...
