Scale: Greetings. I am a new state-of-the-art multifunction diagnostic scale. I not only provide digital and voice weight measurement to the ten-thousandth of a pound... But also body fat percentage, a muscle mass index rating, pulse reading, body temperature... ..oxygen, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, HDL and LDL counts, and EKG measurements. Please step on. GREAT googly moogly!

This comic strip is one of the reasons I love Garfield so much. It is so honest and so blatantly revealing! I am an overweight, pleasingly plumb, large girthed, God awful FAT! My scale must say the same thing.

Recycled “fat” humour…again. Wonder if F.C. knows J.D. is using one of his tag lines?
Tetsuo about 16 years ago
Well, Garfield, you’re not just fat. Now your blood pressure is fat, your pulse reading is fat, your ekg measurements are fat…

Please Subtorp401…nothing unique about “Great Googly Moogly” in tag line (or strip lines). That is right out of 1920’s Chicago. I remember my GREAT grandfather having uttered those words…and he was in the Spanish American War, so maybe HE coined the phrase. This note may come a bit late since 10 hours ago is when he wrote in.

but we all have to keep in mind that no matter what the scale tells you and others say, they all may say we are out of shape, but they learned nothing in school, becuase round is a shape. so take that scale. ha ha.

The scale can also say “Only one person at a time, please”.

Every feel like looking at old comics, and don’t wanna go pro? Here’s a glitch.
FIRST COMIC EVER
http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/ga/1978/ga780619.gif
Replace “1978” with the year, “78” with the last two digits of the year, replace “06” with the day (must have “0” before single months like the June is the 5th, 05. And replace “19” with the day, same rule for the month, 5th, 05.

BugsMoran, the phrase also appears in the song “Nanook Rubs It” on Frank Zappa’s 1974 album Apostrophe (‘). However, FC has cholsen to make it a signature phrase in LM, so it’s as much his as “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” belongs to Star Wars
