quote of the day 3

Family circus isn't all bad, however. It keeps the Donna Reed era grandmothers happy, and its radically different spot format gives healthy people somewhere to put their mug while reading.

--Shawn Dream (né Davidson)


This was in response to the March 15, 2005 Family Circus which went like this:

{Jeffy drawing ones and zeroes on a piece of paper, for some unexplained reason}
Billy: "Zeros and ones? Sorry, Jeffy, it's been done!"

Billy: "Bill Gates made billions with zeros and ones in computers. You'll just have to come up with something else."

{Dolly comes running in with a piece of paper with X's and O's on it}
Dolly: "Right! Zeros and X's are better! Hugs and kisses mean love! That's more important than money."






{crickets}

Bryan: "OH MY GOD!!! WHY IS THE FAMILY CIRCUS SO HORRIBLE?!?" {throw comic page in the air}

And yes, that really happened. :)

I think the better question is, why are you reading Family Circle?

Hey, I don't read Family Cirlce magazine, but I think my mom used to. ;)

I generally read all the comics in our newspaper except Mary Worth, just to keep current on which ones are awful. A broken clock may be right twice a day, but I think Mary Worth is missing the hands too.

Its just too bad that you don't read Mary Worth, Bryan, because that means you missed it recently when Mary was stalked by the Captain Kangaroo look-alike Aldo Kelrast (are you into anagrams?) It ended badly for Aldo, as he drunkenly drove his car off a cliff after Mary's friends warned him away from her. That old bat has still got it, apparently. She was an old lady when I was a little kid, and let's just say, I'm no ingenue.
