rerun

Okay, Garry. You left us hanging on Drew’s surprise announcement, now you’re leaving us hanging on Alex’s labor. Next will it be Joanie’s saying she has contracted a worrisome illness, and then back to reruns of loser guys?

Maybe he’s on maternity leave?

Come on guys, Garry’s 60 something. He needs a break. (I know because I’m 60 something, too)

Come on guys, GT is just making this up as he goes along. Sort of like the writers on Lost (which kind of sums up the government too). Most likely he doesn’t even remember most of the threads he’s left dangling and wouldn’t have a clue as to how to wrap them up even if he did. Maybe the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Wow. Anger issues like that make for a classic example of the need for liberal, socialized medical (mental health) care . . .

Someone once stole my tax refund check out of my mailbox. I only heard about it after it was all over when an FBI agent came to talk to me at my workplace. Apparently this guy was caught when he tried to cash the check at a gas station in another city.

My Dad gave me three cheques for xmas one year while I was in university. Each for $50 and each postdated for three consecutive months, and….. written on the back of his business cards. He assured me they were good. So I deposited the first when due through a bank machine. I received a call 5 days later from the bank to come in because they had concerns. So I went down and had to explain my Dad’s sense of humour. The bank agreed it was a valid cheque. The kicker was I had to do it the next two months as well. The Lesson: You have to work for money, even when it is a gift :)

OK, regulars: please don’t announce every rerun for the next three months. We know GBT is on hiatus to work on an online show, Alpha House. He’s not just taking it easy or lazy.

Thanks, Kaffekup.

yawn…

zzzzzzz…

My local paper is substituting a boring silly strip for the last two days. I’m concerned that they know something that I don’t about my favorite comic.

I don’t object to people taking vacations. Leaving people hanging and never getting back to the thread is sloppy, though. Also I’d like older reruns.

On TV series, there was always a “cliff hanger” on the last show of the season to make you anxious for the next season. Remember “Who Killed JR?” So now we have to wait so see the babies!

To the hammer, everything is a nail.

GO BACK TO THE BABIES!!!!!!!!

“Troll attacks on Guard SGT.”Don’t you mean “Troll attacks FROM Guard SGT?”(see below)

“You must be just exhausted from working so hard to stay so ignorant”.Says the guy in the tin foil hat.Always pointless, persistently boring.yawn…

Nothing here. Moving on.

Always a bore.Yawn…

Some people truly believe that they look smarter by insulting others’ intelligence. Of course, most of us learn that it’s not true by the time we grow up. The smartest people I know never try to make anyone else look stupid. The strongest people I know never try to make anyone else feel weak. They don’t need to.

Sarge, if you ever once said something that you didn’t already hear someone on Fox News say; if you ever once had an original idea that you weren’t just parroting from some talking heads or some blaring AM radio; if you were capable of one new thought and not just some warmed over hash, I might find your arguments at least interesting.But you are the worst kind of bore, the one who repeats boring things that others have already said.Yes, I get it, according to you I am “full of hate” and “ignorant” and a whole lot of terrible things; but in reality I am just bored with the same silly, meaningless arguments that the right makes – constantly, endlessly and pointlessly.Bring a fresh thought to the discussion and we might have grounds to talk. Simply bad mouth me and other Liberals in the same old way and recognize that you are without meaning.You won’t, of course, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.
