That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 06, 2023

/// Though the salesman assured him it’s good,

Joseph Mayer had not understood.

“This has no pointy edge,

so it can’t be a WEDGE,

and it’s certainly not made of WOOD.”

“I think it’s the right size to fit my…”

My original comment: Back in the day before TV, goblet watching was a big hit.

Jake examined the goblet – it was such a good forgery that it was almost a shame to sell it.

Goblet . . . Hmmm . . . What a funny name . . . it’s not a small Gob.

Who on Earth came up with a name like that?

Is this the chalice from the palace that has the brew that is true?

Or is it the vessel with the pestle that holds the pellet with the poison.

My original post in 2019:

“Wow, I can’t believe how cheap I got this from that old lady at the yard sale.”

They really don’t clean the glasses very well here. There’s lipstick on this one.

“I thank you for the wine. I’ve gone through your extensive works of art and decided I will indeed make a purchase. How much for the wine glass?”

Poor Reggie remained like that, an unfortunate victim of self-hypnosis

Virgil waited for the tequila to make his clothes fall off.

I find myself prone to bemoan/

these hours spent sitting alone /

on an old bishops throne/

Amid walls of cold stone /

with a cup that could well be a clone///

In truth. I am almost in tears:/

It ain’t the antique it appears !/

It is garnering sneers,/

my account’s in arrears /

and it seems it was purchased at Sears..

“Lord, take this cup from me!”

I still don’t get it. What are two girls going to do with one cup?

Waiting for yesterday’s reply to his selfie.

Before he went to work for Hammer Films, a young Christopher Lee auditioned for a gig on Antiques Roadshow – his specialty was poisoner’s cups and goblets.

“After several months of drinking from this lead goblet, I have noticed no signs of mental decline. Also, after several months of drinking from this lead goblet, I have noticed no signs of mental decline.”

Hmmmm, an empty goblet. Matilda bring me a bottle of wine and prepare our bed!

Again, a larger strip image is shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2054 (10/5/18) (July 5, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by this artist used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the October 5, 2018, strip being its first use. The still available artist info URL in my comment there is now a here link in my blog comment.

Boy! Fetch me another bhang lassi!

Is the goblet half full, half empty, or simply twice the optimal capacity for efficient containment?

“I can make a fortune manufacturing these golden dribble glasses.”

Me thinks this spindly legged little twerp needs less time at his cups and more exercise out-of-doors.

count D looking at his last goblet of blood, senses that it is time to start looking for new supply’s.

Seems to me that Joe Mayer’s in his cups, again!
