Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for March 24, 2011

Can anyone tell me how to have an illustration by my name? I already have 1 picked out

Demi Moore is A-list?

Maybe Trudeau had to pull some strips involving the Middle East or Japan. He had to kill at least a week of Tiananmen Square strips when the tanks rolled in.

Shinny and new had better not be copper colored.

Brian, for a while she was. Today, not so much, but there’s still something about her voice…

Consider her on your GPS:

“Take a right turn. Now another one. :: whisper ::: Ditto.” (Ghost)

“I’m going to [destination] with you tomorrow” (A Few Good Men)

Or,

“Do you like seafood? I know a good seafood place. Press for direactions.” (A Few Good Men)

“Stopping for a bathroom break? You get back in here and finish what you started or you’re f-bleeping dead. You are F-BLEEPING DEAD!” (Disclosure)

“Don’t like my directions? Then SUCK MY BLEEP!” (GI Jane)

I see your point, Nemesys, but she is such a poor actor that I would just keep recalling both her & Tom Cruise trying their best to act in A Few Good Men. Real actors–Jack Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, and even the two recruits on trial–blow those two away.

Demi is very doable…I’d love to experience her fake/act an ‘O’…. and I’d definitely take her over Nicholson or Bacon…not that I’m against guys….I just wouldn’t want a steady diet it….

On my screen, over at the right, there’s an ad for some device… could it be a GPS that talks in voices of famous actors?

Jack Nicholson

Look, here’s the deal, you wanna get where you’re going you better shut the ))(**# up and listen

Clint Eastwood

Turn right ….. punk

Woody Allen

I’m… I’m .. I’m really conflicted right now about where to tell you to turn… hey hey you missed it turn left now!!

FriscoLou, how would you know what drama there will be in the world to schedule your vacation around?

Besides, there will always be drama, no matter when you take a vacation.

With all of last weeks drama going on in the world, it makes you wonder how someone could go on vacation now. Don’t let these reruns distract you from the Rascal’s predicament. There’s no indication anyone is willing to pay a ransom, even if the Rascal is, “nursed” back to life. The Rascal will have to fend for himself, like the emotionally abandoned latch-key kid that Jeff is.

Imagine if Jeff got the same level of emotional support from his parents, that Tallen Latz gets from his. Instead of trying to live out some “magical realism” fantasy, he could be, Top Dawg with the second grade girls … and beyond. Tallen is an 8 yr. old who just wants to put a “smile on people’s faces when they’re having a bad day.” You can be sure though, there’s a grown-up somewhere, who won’t let that boy Boogie Woogie, with death threats and by hassles from The Man. Fortunately the power of the Blues is stronger than some NO boogyin’ grown-up.

Can you boogie as good as a 4th grader?

Sorry about the bum links maybe these will work better.

I wouldn’t mind having a GPS system with the voice of Humphrey Bogart-“Of all the dames in the world you had to be the one who turned me on.” HeeHeeHee!

Or even Bacall: “You do know how to turn left, don’t you, Steve? You turn your wheel to the left and GO!”

The Byrds:

Now to the right, turn, turn turn.

Andy Rooney:

You know what I hate? It ‘s when you have to turn left, and there’s a whole bunch of traffic coming the other way, and by the way, you have to turn left now.
