Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 17, 2022

I have never been interested in why we are here and what it means. I think I’ll just let the mystery be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlaoR5m4L80

Beer… why do they always forget about the beer?

So instead of “Hallelujah” we should say “Ben and Jerry”?

this reminds me of a scene from the Mixels (the LEGO brand with the same name): Ice Cream does make everything better.

I’m out of ice cream, but I just opened a bottle of bourbon.

Keeps the ice cream. Gimme the beer. And yer picanic baskets of course. This what me lives for.

We is here on this earth to eats Pig.

How about a bit of chocolate sauce with the vanilla?

I’ll take beer and a pigcicle (ribs) over ice cream.

I’m sick of the smart ass on the hill.

Reminds me a little of God’s message to Jerry Landers (to spread to others) in Oh, God!

I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream!

I think your first mistake is in thinking there’s a “why”.

Darn right!

We are here to make more of us and thus give the wheel another spin. Beyond that, have fun, and BTW, giving that wheel another spin isn’t at all necessary anymore.

He is indeed a wiseass.

He has mastered the rocky road to wisdom.

In Cincinnati it is called Being Governed by a Graeters Power. It’s esoteric.

Smart Ass ice cream aka no machine necessary. For the longest my granddaughter would have no other. Thanks for reminding me, Smartty Ass (we be kin.)No Churn homemade vanilla ice cream https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/no-churn-vanilla-ice-cream-3364776 aka Easy as Pie to put it on.

We also have " Uptown Funk " ;-)

I could go for some ice cream.

Why not?

I’m with you.

It’s probably Great Value. Don’t have alot of cash

Life’s what you make it……I’ll have mint chocolate chip please….

It’s sad that not everyone will accept it but the Bible is clear that our purpose is to love and serve God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We are to love our neighbors and reach out to them with the love of Christ.

The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.

The wise ass speaks wisdom.

Lucretius would agree.

My favorite flavor is chocolate Moose Tracks. That’s all I need in life.

We’re all out of pineapple,gooseberry,and chocolate!!

Life is good, especially if you have ice cream.

Unless you’re diabetic. Even sugar-free ice cream has WAY too many carbs! If you make your own it doesn’t taste like ice cream.

“Perhaps I’m old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what’s actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, ‘Hang the sense of it,’ and keep yourself busy. I’d much rather be happy than right any day.”—Slartibartfast

I would argue the answer is CHOCOLATE.

True: Do my best.. my spoken aspiration. True: I’ve eaten a half gal. of IC in one setting every night for over 30 years. The last decade I’ve eased up.. about a quart/night. I’m 5’8”, 140 lbs, 21% body fat, gym fit.

One could say that is my life. Eh, same joy, anger and fear like everyone.

Tips: Only buy vanilla, add your own mix-ins. IC is sold by volume but in reality you are paying by weight. Weigh the products and be blown away! Best is, imo, Kirkland Super Premium Vanilla.

And don’t forget ICE Cold BEER!

He’s stayed up there all this time because the mountain peak goes up all the way through his a$$.

‘Just’ ice cream is not the best we can do.

Rocky Road is the best!!

Reminds me of an old Robin Williams skit about pregnant women and mood swings. Only I don’t want to see either Pig or Rat finish that skit.

If you got it, we have Blue bunny!

Once You Taste GELATO you will NEVER go back to ice cream!!

Another mystery solved!

Peppermint ice cream is only sold at Christmas, so I bought some and I am waiting until summer to eat it.

he forgot, “better with cake!”

Not bad, Pastis. We needed this today.

Simple solutions may work for simple Pig, but unfortunately the World is not so simple, and the Wise Ass on the Hill is not so wise as he pretends to be….

Well, he’s better than David Koresh, Marshall Herff Applewhite, Sun Myung Moon…

Mmmm, ice cream…
