Pulverise two to three more people, Rat: the boat company for making the ad, the newspaper company for posting the ad and Steph for making the play on words.

Blond little Tinker Belle has graciously been allowed on that cruise. Which is fair enough and a fair go for a fairly fair fairy.

Spilled coffee trope! It was a bit of a surprise to see Goat as the Purveyor of the Pun today (before he took a dive for Rat’s bat)….

LOL – good strip. Does PBS get translated into any foreign languages? I wonder how they handle these strips – in most languages, there wouldn’t be any joke. Also, I wonder what people learning ESL think about this sort of thing.

So how, exactly, does this honor Fallen Veterans? It wasn’t Rat’s bat that fell them, was it?
ChessPirate over 10 years ago
So how would I fare if I say the fare for the Fair Affair is fair?[BONK!]
