Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for April 08, 2014

I hear the train a-comin’….

I think he watched Mary Poppins one too many times.

the bad crime….he is a cubs fan.

Oh great. Another day of singing “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” all day!! Thank you very much.

When the lightning strikes the kite, will there be a ring of fire?

Now, if it were a dual-string stunt kite . . . maybe a Hawaiian Team full-size with 150# test kevlar line . . .

Once upon a time, my wife and I bought our first full-sized kite, having gained experience on half-sized stunters. The first time we used it, on Long Beach Island, my wife was set and had her feet dug into the sand, and I released the kite and watched it rocket upward. I heard excited screaming from upwind, but saw no action on the kite . . . so I looked down and realized what my wife was screaming was “Help!”. Her feet were still dug into the sand; except the place where she USED to be dug into the sand was about 15 feet further upwind, and there were NO footsteps between there and her current location. It was sheer luck that she had landed upright. We learned to treat the wind with a little more respect. :-)

I can’t wait to see what RJ thinks is a worse crime.

his crime…he supports house lannister.

QuiteDragon: Common Dragon? Wasn’t he conductor of the Hollywood Bowl orchestra and father of the Captain of and Tenniel?
