Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 14, 2011
Transcript:
Knute: "I think it'd be cool to have kids" Crystal: "You'd bring children into this depressing world? Why?" Knute: "To cheer it up! My kids would be like ME!" Crystal: "Great. Just what the world needs: more jolly goofballs" Knute: "Hey, the 'politicians' had their chance. I say, let the jolly goofballs have a try!" Crystal: "Y'know, your argument is oddly compelling..."

Politics — a combination of the Greek word “poly” meaning many, and tics, which are blood-sucking vermin.

yeh, but compelling her to do what. this oddball little relationship seems poised to get a lot warmer. at least this thread is a little more interesting than luann’s right now.

No, no, no! Don’t buy into his nightmarish vision, Crystal! More Knutes: ugh!
tegm about 13 years ago
yeah, this idea that “my kids will be like me” is exactly what makes parents upset later on. Your kids will not be like you. They’re totally separate people, and you’ll get mad at them for not being the way you expected, and they’ll get mad at you for pretty much everything.

Can we have Richard Thompson for Secretary of State?

Crystal as a potential “Child Free” adult — that is pushing the political envelope. Way to go Greg!

Is anybody else wondering where Tiffany is?
Dragongirl2319 about 13 years ago
LOL. If there was a “like” button, you’d already have a lot of “likes”.
Tinyman about 13 years ago
I knew a couple of goofballs that were goofballs. As for Tiffany I wouldnt be surprised if she was in PE class practicing cheerleading. And I would be there watching. (LOL)
Tinyman about 13 years ago
Correction on that last message:I ment to say I knew a few polititions that were goofballs.

Hey, without kids, who would cut the grass and shovel the snow?
Kirk Sinclair about 13 years ago
I finally get the chemistry between Knute and Crystal – light and dark, balancing each other out.
Radical_Knight about 13 years ago
Poly – Tics… sheesh, is that joke still around? I kicked the slats outta my cradle when I first heard that; needless to say, a very long time ago. We Jolly Goofballs do lead a more serene and interesting life.
Kirk Sinclair about 13 years ago
@john abrams – and Knute is totally off in the clouds somewhere, ignoring the darker side of life. The two of them really balance each other out.
Belinda Banana Ana about 13 years ago
Crystal is kind of annoying. I know a lot of people who think they’re all deep like that. It gets kinda old :P
Kirk Sinclair about 13 years ago
@Rich Grise – IMO, RP may be right about a couple things (foreign wars, the war on drugs), but wrong about everything else. No thanks. My advice FWIW to people enamored of RP is to please look at the entire package, esp his ties years ago to white supremacy groups – which he of course has distanced himself from.

StoicLion1973 about 13 years ago
I hate it when people use the world to explain away why they don’t want kids. I always ask “at what point in all of history was it a good time to have kids?” People never have an answer.
Kirk Sinclair about 13 years ago
@StoicLion – “history is lumpy” one of my teachers used to say. There are times when nothing much is going on, and then there are times of great turmoil. I am glad I was raised in post WW2 America – a time of unprecedented peace, stability and prosperity, versus times of great difficulty, such as the Great Depression, the Civil War, etc. Or now, for that matter. Some time periods are more difficult than others, and some countries or regions likewise are very difficult for raising kids.:That said, the reasons why people don’t want kids often have more to do with what’s going on inside of them, than anything going on the outside.
vldazzle about 13 years ago
I just expected to have kids when I married, and even tho’ I divorced as soon as I could (16 years- with 4 kids), I am very proud of my kids in general. Just got a photo of one son today with Roger Staubach signing a few footballs for some of the charities he supports in Texas (Habitat and Special Olympics). I have also seen many things my kids have done to make me proud- but most important is the way they help each other in any need.
