Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 22, 2021

Me too. Twice.

Still not quite like the merry go round I fell off of.

No weapon’s needed with that, just hang on.

Nausea?

But that most of the fun! Daring fate as you spin faster and faster. And prove that you have what it takes to stay on! And having the world spin around you when you get off isn’t half bad either.

Carnage…

If he claims to be a ‘Dark Wizard’ why was he fighting “all manner of monsters”? Shouldn’t he have been allies with them? Look at his pet Henry.

Used to call this a spindizzy.

Good thing you didn’t go into TMI mode, Wiz!

I was smart enough to hang on, that was the best ride in the park. Kids are missing a lot these days.

He must’ve tried to get on while it was still spinning. I’ve watched enough AFV to know that’s dangerous.

Yeah, a merry go round on a grade school playground is a lesson in physics, humility and first aid all wrapped in one little round killing machine.

We never had one that looked that good or one on sand.

He’s certainly not going the round about way…

…and greatest dizziness

i wonder if he used magic to speed it up

Aaaaah. Remember when kids could be kids and not have helicopter parents that were gonna sue over every little bump, bruise, scratch, and broken arm?

Part of growing up is taking lumps, falling off of bikes getting scraped up – encouragement to learn faster.

Now we bubble wrap our children, don’t let them run around outside, and take them to the hospital for every cough, cold, sneeze, sniffle, scape, bump, bruise, and limp.

We have seriously become a nation of panzies. (I’d use another 6-letter “P” word, but figure I’ll keep it clean.)

The fact that most of us survived this monster is a credit to our generations courage and not necessarily our decision making! ;o}

Grown kids try this, it’s fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUm2jWCR97M

I fell and banged my (first permanent) front tooth on it when I was six, knocked a hole clear through it, necessitating crowns for life!

I miss flat board swing seats. And jumping out of them.

He apparently was never on a see-saw when the kid got off the other end with him on top!

The sand box is a dangerous place to be…

Wow brings back memories of when I fell off one of those things, broke my ankle, andnever went to a playground again for 2 years

“this here?” Wiz! Is your brain and therefore grammar scrambled from using that merry-go-round?

There must be a portal to Id that drops 21st century objects in the kingdom. How else to explain constant references to the present here.

or the golf cart I rolled off the bridge into the brook…

we can relate wiz

It was fun though. You must admit……

Neither I nor anyone I knew ever had any injury from one of these. Not even a bumped head or scraped knee.

Hmm, I thought that fighting Dragons was Rodney’s job…Oh yeah, it’s Rodney.
