“Snuck”? Whatever happened to “sneaked”? But based on how rarely I hear “sneaked” anymore and how often it’s “snuck” even from TV newscasters, it looks like I’m gonna lose that battle.
From Dictionary.com"First recorded in writing toward the end of the 19th century in the United States, snuck has become in recent decades a standard variant past tense and past participle of the verb sneak : Bored by the lecture, he snuck out the side door. Snuck occurs frequently in fiction and in journalistic writing as well as on radio and television: In the darkness the sloop had snuck around the headland, out of firing range. It is not so common in highly formal or belletristic writing, where sneaked is more likely to occur. Snuck is the only spoken past tense and past participle for many younger and middle-aged persons of all educational levels in the U. S. and Canada. Snuck has occasionally been considered nonstandard, but it is so widely used by professional writers and educated speakers that it can no longer be so regarded.
To the snots who have decided to demonize all liberals and paint all liberals with the same stereotype (and a stereotype of “stupid thief”, no less), I say to you:
Cut the crap, you pissant idiots.
If you cannot accept that humans exist across a broad political spectrum without the people who disagree with you being evil or criminal, then you don’t belong in a civilised country, and you are a big part of the political problem in America today. You need to stop suckling at the teat of hate-wing radio and rediscover that whole thing that the gospels taught about treating your fellow human beings decently.
And for the record: I know that those of you who have encountered me in previous conversations will have me firmly classed in your minds as “liberal as they come.” And yet, for this, believe it or not, I absolutely agree with swr.

Looney Libs (again) sees nothing wrong with doing something illegal in order to not make a difference.

I wonder if the lobsters were already in the fresh water filled pot when he found them?

That salt water/fresh water thing was what kept me from even entertaining liberating a flock/herd of lobsters in the meat section.

Animal rights groups are not Liberals. Do all Conservatives bomb women’s clinics? Over-generalizing is a Conservative disease.

I liked the use of a Pirates of Penzance phrase: “with cat-like tread.”

Wow, this strip got political very quickly. You’d think this was a Wiley strip.
