The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 02, 2023

Yay!!!

.. stow thrones.

Electric rates are bound to be high when your only generator is a key on a kite string.

“…take long hot showers.”

…become nudists.

I didn’t know Ben was sinister.

Stow thrones?

This Almanac gig is getting old.

That is right! They just plain shouldn’t.

Shouldn’t be modest!

People in glass houses…would be exhibitionists.

People in glass houses…shouldn’t keep the glass squeaky clean, or the neighborhood birds will keep flying into them.

I’d go for the “Shouldn’t have kids” category Alec

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones until they have removed the beam in their own eye.

Hang curtains.

I always wondered how people changed their clothes in the all glass house Frank Lloyd Wright designed /built.

I would have stopped at “shouldn’t”.

All of those things are true.

Shoe phones?, go bones?, blow gnomes?

“Beer is proof that God loves us”B.F.

People that live in the 1700’s, shouldn’t have electric bills.

People who live in “grass” houses shouldn’t get stoned.

Chaucer – 14th century

Thoreau stoned.

Period.

Ask his naked young wife to jump rope while dictating the year’s weather forecast for the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

There were electric bills so soon after his lightning experiment?

No wonder Ben is having problems—he is burning the midnight oil over a proverb, not an idiom.

Really, Benny F said that?!?!…I thought it was Wally “bug eyes” Cabelloni. Ya learn something new every day!

Even when plagiarizing Chaucer?
