good morning BW, hope you are feeling well this am!!

Mon. 7/13/09 9:13am From: annie

:(

Mon. 7/13/09 9:13am From: stingy d

you missed that fella mouthing "wm"

Mon. 7/13/09 9:14am From: Mac

Perfect NYC Story.
I had the same sort of experience back in 1979 while working at Screw Magazine.

Mon. 7/13/09 9:17am From: bw

what does wm mean? and what is the secret program? does anyone have an idea?

Mon. 7/13/09 9:18am From: still b/p

Bets on what this joker's "palace" is? A diner? An amusement park attraction? And I want someone to include "Flap those ears back, masher, and get lost!" in a good hip-hop track.

Mon. 7/13/09 9:20am From: stingy d

white men fold undies.

Mon. 7/13/09 9:23am From: bw

that is wmfu

heh


I had to write that out to get it!!!

Mon. 7/13/09 9:25am From: bw

come on - does anyone want to take a stab at what the secret program was?>???

Mon. 7/13/09 9:26am From: stingy d

this sunny day in glasgow stuff keeps being good. it sort of reminds me of the first time i heard slumber party.

Mon. 7/13/09 9:27am From: stingy d

oh- dude had a direct line to a tortue device. that's the most obvious, to me. he tortures people.

Mon. 7/13/09 9:34am From: insight

This comic strip will tease amusingly but will never really quite make the transition from G into PG territory, let alone R or X :-P

Mon. 7/13/09 9:36am From: bw

maybe I should have posted the porno popeye strip I accedently downloaded last night !~ yikes! bluto, wimpy, popeye all ganging up on olive oyl - had to delete it off my computer!
but insight - a little G wont kill you

Mon. 7/13/09 9:38am From: insight

i wanna see a pimp or a stripclub manager try to lure them in, they'd be slicker than this first dude and maybe get these two innocents into a tenser situation... lol

Mon. 7/13/09 9:40am From: stingy d

i'm all for some tense situation but that "lol" made me cringe

Mon. 7/13/09 9:42am From: still b/p

insight...you thinking about that high-heat gal who's already in the uniform at Pedro's, aintcha? The Deli in Miss Jones?

Mon. 7/13/09 9:55am From: Lily Stark White

oh darn, and I thought this was gonna be a cute burlesque strip!

@stingy: yes, i've noticed that fussy can be a whole lifestyle sometimes -- add your own emoticon here

@still b/p: this strip is interesting -- 1950s tease that really has more of a 40s look to it. is it mean to root for befoulment? strip should lead to *strip* via poetic justice -- and btw (is btw on the approved list, stinge?) i know what "still b/p" means in psych notes -- is that what it means as a screen name?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:00am From: still b/p

still breathing/puzzled

what's the alt notion in notes?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:01am From: insight

NP: my sentiments precisely, in the first half of my prior comment!

Mon. 7/13/09 10:04am From: insight

i've seen "still b/p" as "still bingeing and purging" in psych notes. did not know still breathing and pulse -- thanks for the explanation...

Mon. 7/13/09 10:04am From: bw

spooklight!

now we are talking
you read the documents didn't you?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:05am From: Lily Stark White

I can never make the umlat button work - for spermull - speaking of umlats
did anyone see Bruno?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:27am From: Parq

I saw les Ephremes part one -- couldn't afford both after paying for all three Ponderosa Stomp shows. It was lovely.

Mon. 7/13/09 10:29am From: bw

parq

Parq!
I think part one is better - but the old lady perle has a nice piece in part two

what did you think of it?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:32am From: annie

bw, i got full reports from several very diff people. i guess it was a hoot. i'm sure i'll pass, as borat did not draw me in, either. the majority of the reviewers liked it though.

Mon. 7/13/09 10:33am From: G

in many situations where i can't get diacriticals to happen i type the diacritical in a Word doc or other place that supports characters beyond basic ASCII, then copypaste them -- that works in comments. -- ë

Mon. 7/13/09 10:35am From: bw

thanks G

Mon. 7/13/09 10:41am From: Archie Bunker

Who needs diacriticals?
We're Americans!

Mon. 7/13/09 10:43am From: G

Moët can be fun, Archie Babee

Mon. 7/13/09 10:46am From: Rob W

OK Benjamen, I'm adding this to my "covers" list...

Mon. 7/13/09 10:46am From: Archie Bunker

But I don't need to type no umlaats to buy it at the lika stoh.

Mon. 7/13/09 10:49am From: G

Go-fer-it, dude. Live and let crawl :-) You can also buy anything at a store without knowing how to read or write, period, but I've heard that illiteracy closes you out of a few jobs...

Mon. 7/13/09 10:51am From: Cheney

Ever wondered why my nickname is Dick?

Mon. 7/13/09 10:52am From: Archie in the bunker

Stifül yourself, Eva.

Mon. 7/13/09 10:55am From: GP

Hi

Mon. 7/13/09 10:55am From: Parq

I loved the idea in Ephremes of having each scene float through the theater as it's taking place. I noticed in the program that there's more Perle story in the second part. Do any of the other first-part stories continue? My Spaniard wife explained the scene with the Spanish couple on the beach - it seems that Spanish women once often worked as domestics in France, much as Latin-American women now do in the US.

Mon. 7/13/09 10:58am From: bw

rob
I was so sad I missed the show friday night - I saw many pics on line and julie S said it was a blast as well - but I was sick alas

Mon. 7/13/09 10:58am From: Dave B in NYC

@G - you can enter CHARMAP in windows Start > Run dialog to bring up a quick and dirty util that allows you to copy any/all extended characters in a font set

Mon. 7/13/09 10:59am From: bw

parq -
the m ain story line is the letter from the mom in the safe.. that takes up the bulk of part two

Mon. 7/13/09 11:01am From: Michaelangelo

How many have noticed the colors in the comic strip are only primary colors?

Mon. 7/13/09 11:01am From: Häagen-Dazs

Dön’t knöck rändöm ümläüts tĩll Ÿöü’vë trĩëd ’ëm—täkë ĩt fröm üs...

Mon. 7/13/09 11:04am From: Parq

Got five or ten minutes? Watch this totally engrossing web-video tribute to MJ. Gets better with each frame.

Mon. 7/13/09 11:05am From: Parq

Re Prefuse 73 frames, what's a two-way stretch?

Mon. 7/13/09 11:11am From: trent

this song is SO GOOD

Mon. 7/13/09 11:13am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/13/09 11:15am From: statue of limitations

we already expired on that observation

Mon. 7/13/09 11:16am From: Fussy

No, I didn't, Stingy. I may call later this afternoon.

Mon. 7/13/09 11:16am From: Later

I won't be in. Leave a message on my machine.

Mon. 7/13/09 11:17am From: insight

lol, lmao

Mon. 7/13/09 11:18am From: annie

Mon. 7/13/09 11:24am From: GP

Mon. 7/13/09 11:24am From: risky!

Mon. 7/13/09 11:24am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/13/09 11:27am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/13/09 11:27am From: dormouse

Mon. 7/13/09 11:33am From: stingy d

Mon. 7/13/09 11:36am From: Ken From Hyde Park

I heard the Dinosaur Jr. track in the car. That was cool. Now at work. Not as cool (for me, anyway).

Mon. 7/13/09 11:37am From: Joe Steele

Mon. 7/13/09 11:45am From: bw

Mon. 7/13/09 11:54am From: Parq
