    It’s amazing how small issues tend to divide people. I wonder how many arguments have ensued over the proper way to hang toilet paper.

    Does anyone here know about Netherlands history? It seems that there were two parties (I can’t remember the details right now): The Hoeks and the other party – one party believed the fish caught the hook and the other party…Oh hell, I can’t remember the details, but the Dutch were divided for many decades over this issue.

    Sigh. Once again, the anti-pulpists show their violent intolerance of those with different interpretations of fruit juice.

    Uh-oh.I think that, first, I’d better arm myself heavily. Second, I should build a strong defensive perimeter.Why?I prefer my orange juice with lots of pulp, and I always hang my toilet paper to feed from under.I am the Hated Minority.

    And THAT reminds me…when I asked that day whether anyone remembered seeing that melon collie before….I didn’t mean the old joke or a use of the phrase elsewhere…

    I meant I thought Pastis had drawn that very same dog in an earlier strip….Or maybe it wasn’t a melon collie, but some other pun.Anybody?

    the recent news of the catholic church, justified in putting many of them in jail and taking their assets. the abuse that the clergy did to kids, the cover up of the abuse, and blaming the victims. not to mention, telling the continent of africa ravaged by aids to not use contraception. no wonder, some people think they should be tried on grounds of crimes against humanity.

    Every issue, however inconsequential, is divisive, and anyone who says it doesn’t have to be that way is a “socialist”

    Masterskrain, you hit the nail on the head…but you shouldn’t use nails, you should use tacks because they’re more cost effective, and anyone who uses nails is irrevocably wrong-headed and bent on destruction of etc etc etc…..

    Why is Pig calling Goat a Socialist?Because Goat expressed a concern about society; if he’d mentioned communication, Pig would have yelled “Communist!”

    And @templo SUD: I also prefer O.J. In prison. His lawyer coined a catch phrase, “If it don’t fit, you must acquit!”. If you have ever tried on a pair of Isotoners leather gloves you know that they fit very snug. Now, soak them in blood. Let them dry over a several week time. They will shrink. Then try to put them on while wearing a rubber glove first. .NO WAY WILL THEY FIT!.Karma is known to turn around and bite you in the bum. O.J. is in prison but it is too bad O.J. can’t be serving AS PULP.
