The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 12, 2024

“Just give a few minutes to see the end of this program”. : that’s what my old lady always says when she watches programs (mostly soap operas) that end, at least, after half an hour.

You only have yourself to blame, the nagging wore him out

Brutus is just recharging his batteries…

So he can take a better nap later!

It’s a hedge against over exertion!

Brutus’ motto: Why do things TODAY …. when you can do them “tomorrow!!!”

\SHMIRK/

Leave it to a Born Loser to lose his way out of yard work.

Well played Brutus

Hey, watching a program can be exhausting work too.

It’s Sunday!

Smart.

You know what they say:When the going gets tough

The tough get going… to sleep

(And that nap is “Ocean”-deep)

We interrupt this hedge trimming for an afternoon nap.

When the going gets tuff, I give the kid down the street a few bucks.

You forgot to get the details Gladys.

1) A minute is one, a couple of minutes is usually two, so a few would be an unspecified number that is more than 2

2) He said he’d get to the hedges when he finishes his program. Yesterday I started a program that has 10 one hour episodes

I can’t imagine sleeping in that position. My neck hurts just looking at it.

Been sick all week so I told my wife I’d cut the lawn on the weekend but it’s been raining yesterday and today. The grass is about 8 inches long now. Hope the lawn mower will be able to cut through it when it finally gets sunny out. BTW Happy Mother’s Day !

The position of the sun in the window is a clever way to illustrate the passage of time. Well done.

Brutus hedged on doing the hedges…

There’s a nap for that.

I’m with Brutus. The hedges will be there tomorrow, nap while you can, life is uncertain. Gladys will still be there to nag him about trimming them tomorrow.

I’ve got the hedge from h-ll and it’s taller than me. I’ll probably have to take the chainsaw to it. It’s past time to retrain it.

the program seems to be working, it puts him to sleep. :J

Happy Mother’s day all Ya Born Losers and Mother Gargle. Great Day indeed. Brutus is celebrating Father’s day wee bit early.

An example for all nen. God Bless Him and a Happy Mother’s Day for all the Mothers out there…..

It’s Sunday, Gladys. Let Brutus rest!

Looks like someone is in for a rude awakening – literally! But given the movement of the sun, he’s had a nice little nap. I can relate to this one; I can’t possibly count the number of times I’ve missed the end of west coast baseball or hockey games because I fell asleep.

Happy Mothers Day TBL- verse!

Maybe he jumped up and took care of it during the commercials, and he’s so tuckered out he’s taking a nap! Don’t jump to conclusions Gladys!

I’m surprised Brutus isn’t celebrating Mother’s Day. /s

Given what Brutus puts up with at work AND at home, he’s earned it.

I can relate to that.

Atta boy Brutus !

if only our former neighbor were more like brutus. the poor guy seemed to have nothing better to do in his golden retirement years than to circle his property all day long with bucket, collecting stray leaves, and trimming his yew hedge with such fearsome regularity that big holes had appeared in the hedge wall…
