For me, this week it was a half stick butter dish, a hearing aid battery key ring caddy, a seven variety set of lettuce seed hydroponic cartridges, a CO2 generating system for my aquarium, and a set of all the issues of old EC comics that contained a story based on a Ray Bradbury original.
This makes me think of an old Far Side ‘toon where a woman is in a parking lot facing two store fronts. The sign on one says something like “PLASTIC CRAP” and the other’s sign says “MORE PLASTIC CRAP” I stayed away from Walmart for a long time after reading that.
Steve’s taste in cars has… evolved. First, it was a gold Jeep (with a custom license plate that read, Horny ), then, a Buick, then a Corvette. Now this.
I don’t eat (or do anything else with) turnips. I don’t tweet. I’ll take the Ferrari. Who cares if there is no place to drive it as it is built to be driven? I’d just lock it in a garage and admire it and the fact that it is mine! (That is Steve’s point, isn’t it?)

Didn’t Opus order something like 5000 of those things one late night? Jimmjonzz, I would like everything you had minus the butter dish please.

Berk’s expressions are an over-the-top hoot sometimes.

I like how Berke has improved on the original ‘turnip twaddler’ from the ’80s.

I had just about called it. I just wasn’t deranged enough to think about combining the turnip twaddler with twitter.

It was a Maserati GT until Masa was bought by F.I.A.T. and became a sister company to Chrysler.

I can understand Opus’ excitement; he hasn’t had his turnips twaddled for a long time.

I’ve always wondered: Just how do you twaddle a turnip? Or do I even want to know?

This is my birthday strip! Fitting, as I always asked for things I didn’t have yet then quickly got bored of them
