    I wonder if Duke remembers the 3 minutes that created Earl.

    I’m surprised that president-for-life Bmzklfrpz has a real job.

    “… folks who have nothing better to do while their microwave popcorn is popping than watch the countdown on the microwave clock.”

    I’m one of ’em. I watch in order to memorize the exact number of seconds needed to produce optimized popped corn. Neither too much (too many burned popcorns) nor too little (too many unpopped kernels).

    I wonder if Duke is Pinnochio in disguise. Notice how his nose has grown since 08july1974? Hee hee. Mr. Trudeau really likes those elongated schnozes. Being extremely long snouted meself, I have no complaints.

    I don’t watch the timer, but I do listen so I know when 95% of the kernels have popped. Then I shut off the microwave so the popped corn doesn’t burn. It’s a lonely existence.

    The future is here! The real question is how can Duke still pull off smoking in a bar?Or is this part of the fantasy smokers all share?

    Another funny strip with Duke, though certainly not as great as the recent Romney in France story line.

    Some urinals have ads, too. They get you filling and emptying.

    He’s probably onto something, once the microwaves come with mini HMI touch screens talking with the home wifi it’s only a matter of time.

    I guess I’m still old fashioned. I pop my popcorn the old fashioned way: 1 cup of corn with a little oil ( prefer olive oil ) in an old, covered, 3 quart sauce pan. With a little attention, comes out great !

    You could really rake in the dough from the innovation if you had the adult entertainment audibly and visually inform you as to when the popcorn is nearing completion. Yes! Yes!!! YEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Popcorn’s done!

    A lot of casinos still seem to allow smoking (along with bars of course). One hit of the tobacco/nicotine air in a casino/bar is enough to give you asthma/emphysema/whatever lung related disease you can think of.

    According to GOP principles, Duke would make a better GOP nominee than O’MItt.. Better yet, Bmzklfrpz.

    Congrats to the NFL champs, (I hate the sound of that) still no answer for Cruz. So much for “brimming with confidence.” I’m with the announcers, forget about this game time for the NLCS.

    Here we go again, congrats to the Card fans. Once again the champs are a handful. The baseball god is not great.

    This has to be the most FOX I’ve watched in a couple of years.

    Yes, that is always the case. Fox is the propaganda arm of the GOP. MSNBC does the bidding for the Dems.

    Earl is a bit behind the times. I distinctly recall a microwave on the market, ummm…., maybe 15 years ago – that had a small TV screen built-in above the keypad.

    It may be 3 minutes, but it feels like 3.25 minute.
