Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 08, 2014

I have two conflicting comments::1. No one was talking to you, Rat, so go away.:2. Like Rat, I also hate people who inflict vacation photos on innocent bystanders, and want to punch them.

Sure Rat, just let me set up the screen and I’ll show the slides and the home movies I took.

There was an episode of “Rod Serling’s Night Gallery” where John Astin, played a hippie who found himself in hell with a record player stacked to the sky playing old-timey music, and an elderly could showing endless slides of their vacations.-—————————————————BTW Rat, Goat posted all the pics on his Facebook page, you don’t have to go there if you don’t want to.

x-tech, you beat me to it…Man, family slide shows, eh?… Let’s have fondu and look at big ol’ slides from Grandma’s trip France….

I wonder if Rat uses the expression “who gives a rat’s a$$.”

Pastry is much better than the other possible product of a “Pastisserie”. I think one of them is enough for the world, heaven knows that we don’t need a whole series of such punsters.

@SherlockWatson: to be fair, Goat wasn’t inflicting anything on anyone. Pig asked, and Goat answered pretty concisely. Never offered to show a single picture, either.

I always love Pig’s expressions of shock and awe.

Tell it like it is, Rat! There is nothing worse in the known universe than other people’s vacation stories.

Nobody asked you, Rat. So, butt your little a$$ out. I bet Goat doesn’t even have Paris’s Paris vacation photos with him.

I took 300 pictures at Volcano National Park on our last visit to Hawaii. Want to see a bunch of brown landscapes?

Erie, Pennsylvania? [Or Eerie…]

@meh~thodology

I remember the music played as Pat Boonish. (Yuk!) Not "old -timey). There is a difference. Oh Brother Where Art Thou had “old-timey” music which was gutsy and very good AND was one of the roots of rock. Pat Boonish music is and was tasteless soulless pap! No wonder it was hell for the poor hippy!

Isn’t a “whogivesa@#*#erie” called a latrine?

I love how rat butts in on a conversation that he had no part of, then says how much he’d be horrified by something that isn’t happening! Seriously, WTF. Who cares what you think rat and go away. No one was talking to you OR doing what you said!

Remember YOUR vacation, Rat when Stephan locked you in the suitcase?xxx

Who gives a merde?

I don’t mind vacation photos, if they are of a historical nature type place. I like history!

I have never, ever had an interest in visiting Paris. I’m not sure why. So many other places I’d rather visit. Paris seems..overcontrived? Tries too hard to be the city of love? Maybe I’m still mad about the French Revolution…who knows.

That would be the Moulan Rouge.

Nailed it!!

I can’t afford to travel so I appreciate others sharing their experience.

I actually want to know what that is.

So Paris went to Paris?
