The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 26, 2013

Um, let me count the reasons why…

Yeah, with their brilliant ideas they should all be rolling in it. (N.B. I didn’t say just what they should be rolling in.)

Love the bulletin board. I’m sure they don’t want to get on the power company’s major donor list and it has never occurred to them to wash out the garbage can.

At the Penny’s house, it doesn’t really matter which end of the garbage bag is open, I guess.

Put some in, take some out…. it all looks the same.

Of course a garbage bag open at BOTH ends sorta illustrates the old computer adage…. Garbage in; Garbage out.

Good morning folks…. and Leaky, wherever you are!

I guess theirs don’t have a red tie to it That may explain why he can’t find the top. Why are thee rips in the zip lock bags? Couldn’t they "find "the opening and tried to open the bottom? Or are they used ones..

I guess you’re not buying enough lottery tickets, Dale.

Dazz, I Find Peter to be insulting, not funny. If the show were more about Stewwie & Brian, I might like it more. As it is, I can no longer watch it.

It’s brilliant! Then, you only ever need to buy one bag!!!!

I don’t have trouble figuring which end is up with my handle tie bags, but the bags on a roll I am about 75% wrong end to start.

How about the phone notes, garbage complaint call 911 and fire call the operator. Is there an operator? Do they speak English?

Power Co donor. hah. no cash, no burger. it’s a product being sold—no money, no juice. sorta like asking people to donate money to broke bums at the 7-11 booze fridges.

@Grog, I just ignore the parts that annoy me, just as I ignored the couple of comments on “Ted” (same writer) that were too raunchy even for my amusement.

I don’t add a $1 for utilities either (and my bills are high) but they consistently tell me I’m using less than comparable homes.

I was also thinking that they’d be rolling . . . in garbage!

@Leaky, I think he’s just late because he stayed up to torment me. Must admit, I purposely left myself open to that Herb comment (might have said herbal). Sparring is fun!I’m just up and partly dressed as I sip my lime juice with Stevia.

You’ve never pulled a produce bag that opens at both ends?

You’ve never pulled a produce bag that opens at both ends?

With apologies to Samuel Hoffenstein:

I open my bag at both endsAnd now have neither foes nor friends.For all the lovely trash begottenI’m paying now and feeling rotten.

This whole page stinks…….wait, I just need to empty the garbage. Speaking of which, the paper mill has been smelling pretty ripe the past few nites, and they spent a gazillion dollars on a filter for the smokestack. Smells like old cabbage. We’ve been sleeping with the windows open, so not so nice to wake up in the middle of the night to.

I just reread yesterday’s postings, and I think Leaky is resting after his sparring match with Dazz! And Dazz, what a way to remain a lady in the face of Leaky’s teasing. Dazz 1, Leaky 0

Where is the clown picture….. where he is rolling his eyes… ? ? ?

You CAN open a bag from either end, just a lot easier from one end than the other.

Either Leaky has left for Alaska or he set his thermostat too low and frozen himself.

But then even living in Alaska can freeze he privates off a brass monkey.

You are stupid. That is the reason.
