Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 19, 2013
Transcript:
Elly Elephant went on a date. Her date talked about himself. And talked about himself. And talked about himself. "I wonder if he even knows I'm here," wondered Elly. So Elly stood on her head. And lit her head on fire. And finally he noticed. Elly Elephant roasted her date like a marshmallow. Goat: It's a wonder your romance novels don't sell well. Rat: Yeah. Who doesn't like marshmallows? Pig: Make him a s'more! Make him a s'more!

Women complain about men who either talk about themselves (today’s strip) or don’t share enough about themselves.

Long, long ago, I had a date like this. Several, but this guy was the worst. I almost fell asleep. Finally he noticed I wasn’t having a good time. Sheesh. I wonder if women do this on dates. I sure didn’t.

Best romance novel I ever read. Well, I only ever read one, but this was way better than anything in it.
roidude almost 11 years ago
The problem was the date didn’t want to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

Looks more like she roasted him like a slap of ribs than like a marshmellow.

I shared the Woof-ems on my FB. I always thought s’mores were too messy and gross but we enjoyed many roasted marshmallows (way back when you could burn leaves in the street). Since I’m now 75 I have had dates as bad as that (and worse); found my true love back in ’76 when both he and I had teen kids. He makes me happy.

Hahaha, really Pig?

I always thought s’mores were too sickly sweet. A little more fun were “pies” cooked over a campfire. Take a mold like this:https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sugexp=eqrwrth&gs_rn=14&gs_ri=psy-ab&gs_mss=pie+mol&tok=8ZnQNL7IWZE6xO9JMV8OKw&cp=19&gs_id=2b&xhr=t&q=pie+molds+for+grill&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46751780,d.aWc&biw=1170&bih=677&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=pISZUdD4B8ThyQH9o4Ao#imgrc=YXMIRp5OYoeU_M%3A%3BADKD4e27PoBR6M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ebayimg.com%252Ft%252FVTG-PIE-MOLD-GRILL-CHEESE-SANDWICH-MAKER-TOASTER-CAMPFIRE-COOKER-CLEVELAND-OHIO-%252F00%252Fs%252FMTIwMFgxNjAw%252Fz%252F1rAAAMXQvJVRT1NO%252F%2524T2eC16dHJHoE9n3KgJIKBRT1NO%252Cwfg~~60_35.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fitm%252FVTG-PIE-MOLD-GRILL-CHEESE-SANDWICH-MAKER-TOASTER-CAMPFIRE-COOKER-CLEVELAND-OHIO-%252F330896092502%253F_trksid%253Dp2047675.m1850%2526_trkparms%253Daid%25253D222002%252526algo%25253DSIC.FIT%252526ao%25253D1%252526asc%25253D14873%252526meid%25253D6506629381886090306%252526pid%25253D100011%252526prg%25253D1005%252526rk%25253D1%252526sd%25253D321092656666%252526%3B300%3B225
(Too bad I’m too dumb to import photos, and don’t tell me about the >< business – I can’t do it.)
Anyhow, you take one of those molds, put two slices of white bread, buttered side out on each half, put a tablespoon of canned pie filling between, hold over fire. Doesn’t take long.
Gokie5 almost 11 years ago
Or maybe two tablespoons – it’s been awhile.
