Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 10, 2010
Transcript:
Kevin: I told Miss Bliss about the puppets losing their heads. She said, "When Life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Alice: Not me! I'd throw those lemons back in life's face and say, "Do I look like I eat fruit? Give me something artificially flavored!" PHOOEY! Kevin: My mind just went completely blank. Dill: Welcome to my world!

Dill and now Marcus have been Aliced! (Alicing will become, I predict, the new activity du jour of the smart set!)

I’m with Alice on this one. I don’t like fruit either.
Stephen Beals creator over 14 years ago
Most brands of lemonade should be sufficiently artificial enough.

I just love Dill! I think he will make Alice a wonderful husband since he accepts her with all her quirks and wackiness. We should all be that lucky!

RichardSRussell said, Y’know, all those messages that just say “flagged” look really dumb hanging there by themselves after the flagged item has been deleted.
But it gives a marker of when / if the mods were working.

“Countrytime Lemonade”, just like grandma used to make. If she had a degree in physical chemistry.

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade, but if life doesn’t also give you sugar, your lemonade is going to suck.

Runs with Beer: You’re right, of course. Some folks are so full of themselves that they they think they understand everyone else’s motives.

Thank you all for the great comments. As the maybe-now-deleted spam says, “Your satisfaction is our eternal pursuit.”

Congratulations on three amazing years of your art and craft. As someone else said, Live long and Prospero?Now if only you would only emulate the spammer and offer to sell us an Alice or a Dill at a bargain price, shipping in 4-7 days…

Hehehe, this one is excellent. On a somewhat related note, I mostly eat organic food, and no artificial flavors.
