Roz has some mighty impressive credentials!

So Joe-Allen…good values equal, not being respectful, backing down on issues you believe in, we won’t even get into the religion thing, and chicks don’t kick butt? Am I tracking that right?

Personally, I think she’s pretty squared away, regardless of how she go the lesson.

Sometimes the lessons come, much later than the class, from ‘out of left field’.

So, Roz, do you live around here? What’s your sign? Mine’s slippery when wet…

Talk about phonies …

Joe, you’re aware that you’re reading a fictional comic strip right? Almost none of the people are real, few of the situations are real, the whole nine yards. But since you’re often onboard with comments across the site, they seem pretty important to you.

So what’s wrong with Roz idolizing fictionalized characters involved in scripted situation?

I certainly agree with FlyinHeavy. Roz has role models that taught her good values. She took the good and left the rest.

Roz took the best from some pretty impressive people.

So, I much agree with Bill Case and Ravenswing.

susan001: roz looks like a man because she was drawn that way. the infamous line from ‘who framed roger rabbit.’ i have watched professional wrestling for years. when asked why i answer ‘lessons from life, good is not always good and evil is not always evil.’ besides, what else am i suppossed to do, drink and farm.

Guys watch this…..

Roz was pretty lucky to be able to see the television the men were watching from the kitchen…….

Let the fun begin.

there’s the real world, the comic strip world, the world of fiction, the wwe world and unca joe’s world. it can get a little confusing.

Fortunately she did not get her values from the bible, what a train wreck she would be if she had.

What do you mean that professional wrestling is phony?

@JAD, do you know for certain how Crisis would behave in public? or are you just assuming something? I guess you must be, because as everyone has pointed out, he’s a fictional character.

I agree with Melissa. The values Roz mentions are pretty good.

Is Melissa’s sign, do not enter? (Not a bad thing, BTW, and with her history, quite understandable)

Wrestling values? Wrestling WITH values? Wrestling with phoniness? Wrestling BY phonies? Remember when Doons used to raise REAL issues? Like learning to speak French to be a good hockey player.

Reality is for people who can’t handle drugs.

lots of my heroes were fictional characters - mostly out of books i’ve read. i’ve never met any “true” heroes, but i’ve read a lot of stories about them.

The WWE members are certainly better role models than most.

Looks like some folks get their “phony values” from the WWE, while others get theirs through Sunday School.

Get your parables where you can find them.

I’m inspired by Uncle Remus.

Raised by the WWE? These days more kids are raised by the WII

Tar Baby’s just a distraction from keeping an eye on the ball. The lesson: stay focused.

I’m surprised no one else commented on this -

GBT finally gave Melissa’s friend a name!

Welcome to the asylum, Roz!

I got a lot of my values and life’s lessons from Aesop and some funny Jewish kid who made his own wine.

If you can get values from WWE, then Hell yeah!

Jeremiah was a bullfrog… :)
