Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich

Dogs, bosses, garden slugs, who sits next to who at Thanksgiving, cheating at golf, fretting the night away, carping couples on long trips, eating over the sink, toenail clippings, cosmic order, hairballs, flop sweat, coughing into one’s elbow, clogged pipes, clogged arteries, parking crooked at the mall.
That’s what real life is all about. And that’s what Real Life Adventures is all about.
For nearly two decades, Lance (Aldrich) and Gary (Wise) have drawn, and drawn from, the everyday stuff that we all slog through.
And on any given day, they like to think their little square slice of life is a nice change from the rickety roller coaster the rest of the world seems to be.
Want to share your life’s goofiosity with them? Just post here.

There’s a pub here that is covered in dead Santas and snowmen well into the summer.

Pub? Does that mean you’re in England?

Never thought much about those inflatable decorations until I saw that you can buy six foot tall inflatable Leg Lamps. It is a major award.

I think inflatable decorations make your house look like a used car dealership.

Have not seen a flapping arm inflatable Santa yet, but I suppose it could happen.

I am – is that a problem?

Depends on what club’s colors you are wearing.
Went into a pub in Glasgow once as an innocent American tourist and was informed that my attire was unacceptable in a most forthright manner.

A Glasgow kiss?
(For the uninitiated, this is a savage butting on the nose by the forehead of your assailant – also known as ‘nutting’). It is agonising – I have been on the receiving end many years ago when I was accused (falsely) of chatting up another girl’s boyfriend. Her mate followed me into the ladies, nutted me and then smashed my face off the sink. The error occurred because I was wearing a similar frock to the lass who was chatting this bloke up. Now you know the real reason women don’t like to be seen in the same frock.
I still have the broken tooth.
I am originally from Sunderland (red and white), but now live in Gateshead, part of the Newcastle area (black and white). There is fierce rivalry between the two cities, so I keep quiet about my origins, and speak little if I am in particular areas (they have a very keen ear for intonation round here).
Actually, except on match days, it is not too bad.

By the way, Glasgow is not in England.

So that explains their funny accent and why their pounds are nor readily accepted in London.
