As I write this, a T.V. advert is using "Theme From A Summer Place" to promote whatever it is it's promoting. When I was 12 years old, I wanted to be Troy Donahue, the star of that movie. That is just a great name.
Today, I was writing some Beau strips. (Egon asks Beau to take some nude photos of him to send to a womens' magazine). Then the mail arrived and I sorted through the charity requests once again. As I have mentioned before, I appear to be on the list of every charity known to mankind and I made some distinctly uncharitable comments.
I spoke to my daughter who has decided to join my wife, sister and I on our holiday in Portugal later this year. She is bringing her boyfriend. I regard this as an excellent opportunity to unnerve the young man. He is an artist and there is obviously no future in that kind of occupation so I will point this out over a cold beer or two. Apparently, he also supports Rangers. I think I'll punch him while shouting " Never mind supporting Rangers---support my daughter!" This is a really clever line and I will try to make it sound spontaneous.
All in all, it's been a nice day.

... join my wife, sister and me ...

I would have though you just being there would do that.

I hope he replies: "Yes, I read your post on Beau Peep."

"I would have though".
Glass houses, my boy, glass houses.

:D
Mine is a typo. What's your excuse?
-
No excuse---a grammatical error. To quote one of the kids in "The Simpsons", "Me fail English? Unpossible!"

He supports Rangers!? Hire a hitman now Roger!

He supports Rangers to Mince,Is the same as English spelt backwards, it is a nonentity's.
A few unconnected words that have no meaning.

Am I the only one who does not understand a word of this?
-
It basically means that you won't understand a word of it.
You're welcome.

Nope! Perhaps Peter could type a little slower.... please.

I agree that Peter uses the English language imaginatively but I like his style. I'm particularly fond of the way he uses punctuation. It's as though he loads a shotgun with commas and full stops and then fires it at the paragraph he's just typed. Anyway, as I said, I LIKE his style. Long may he continue!
-
Well said, that man. May Peter continue to brighten this board forever
-
Please read again the second sentence.

It's more like a blunderbuss!

Talking of waffles. My husband makes them most Sundays - my Dad bought an old restaurant style waffle iron at a garage sale for $2 - he put a new plug on it and gave it to us 21 years ago and it still works great.
Sometimes we have them plain with just a little butter and syrup, sometimes we have them with sausages on the side, sometimes a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some tinned peach slices, sometimes fresh strawberries and whipped cream, sometimes some hot fruit syrup. I hope I'm not waffling...

mmmm..... can you send me one over with everything on it, please.

Talking of fresh picked strawberries. I took my daughter and my neice to a U-pick. For only twice as much as you can buy them in the store, you can drive to the middle of nowhere and pick your own strawberries and swat mosquitos at the same time.
They had such a good time though as the experience included a long ride to the far end of the 25 acre field in a fun little buggy. It would have been nice to have got a ride back to the hut as well but they could tell I was cheap as I only bought one pail to fill.

Sure Vulture - I hope the blueberry syrup doesn't make your mailbox too sticky.
-
I've just noticed Diane... you're a waffle waffler and a serial cereal winner!

That was good thinking Tom.
