In Security by Bea R. for December 31, 2020

And all it cost them was the beetle, there had to be a better way.

Laughing after being t-boned, do these two not feel pain anymore? Then again considering they willingly picked up Ms. Edith and totaled their car, they might be laughing due to insanity, I can relate! XD (See?)

Oh and Happy New Year! My resolution is to never miss another Insecurity comic, and those who know me know I barely ever miss any to begin with, yet missing any at all is too many!

And tomorrow, the Aswang driver makes it all better.

Love how the stop sign goes through all the stages of pain….

They seem to be handling the complete annihilation of their car while they’re inside it surprisingly well…

Ok, now I want to know what the heck happened to those two.

Holy Puke Balls! laughing haven’t heard that one!

I grew up in Iowa. Knowing how to drive in the snow and ice is important and a lot of fun. Everyone should grow up having their Aunt Thelma teaching them how to do doughnuts in the Kmart paring lot in a 1978 Ford LTD :)

had a Aunt Thelma and an Aunt Bea they both drove in the snow but never showed me how, might be cuz I was still to young to drive , bet you had fun!

ha ha ha, that stop sign says “help” on the fourth panel! :D

Is that the Hubbs’s truck?

So, going through the holy scripture, “Holy Puke Balls!” were referenced by the Brother Maynard and the Priests of Antioch, who begat the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

“And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.’ And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, ’First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

During the rigorous battle with the Rabbit of Caerbonnog, the Holy Puke Balls were launched against the creature with no effect, so the Holy Hand Grenade was used.

HOW DID EDITH KNOW?

I just realized that poor sign changes between panels.

Back in 1979, my friends and I drove my new SAAB 900 Turbo up to Mammoth for a week at my parents Townhouse off Chair 9. I parked it at the bottom of the turn-about driveway, the one spot open for parking. We thought we were so lucky that it was there and open.

After a day of skiing, we went back to the townhouse, and my car looked like it had been through a war! Turns out everybody making the flip at the bottom, slid into my poor car. I had a dozen impacts on the driver side of the car. A neighbor saw me, came out with a list of everybody who slid into my car, and their insurace information. Turns out, most people couldn’t navigate the turn without sliding and that’s why that bottom spot was open, nobody (until me) was dumb enough to park there.

Oh, I drove the car home, and it spent about two weeks in the shop, but it still drove well. All those dents, but no frame damage. Part of it was the way a SAAB hood opens, and how the frame was designed, but part of it was just that the impacts were not high energy. After it was repaired, I kept her for 250K more miles.

I think unless you’re driving completely crazy, that most bumps on ice are slow moving, and survivable. So, while the car may look like hell, it probably isn’t so bad.

Then again, the poor Stop sign calling for “HELP” – I am surprised it didn’t say “YIELD” first.

I had a boss who during the company’s fifth aniversary, his home burned down. He drove home walked around the ashes with his wife, her crying, picking up little mementos of their children and life, and he just giggling and laughing like a nut.

She asked him how he could be so cold, and he said, “this is just stuff, everyting we need is in our hearts and minds…besides, I had 3 full insurance policies on this place – I’m going to be making out like a bandit!”

I hope Sam and Sedine have good insurance, and that the winter conditions are held responsible. New car here they GO!

(wonders about the “ARK” on the “sign” in the cartoon)

“HOLY PUKE BALLS!”

(senses unnatural dialogue)

Going from lushes to loonies… could be worse.

Besides being high on love, I have to believe Sedine and Hubbs had a nibble off some edibles while they were holed up.

A lot people are calling TOD for those guys’ car but I think it should be fine. I reading a book series where the main character have the same kind of car; and it went through a lot worse punishment for years before getting wrecked for good.

And the sign says, “Stop, ugh, ark, help…”

Let’s take a moment to mourn the death of that poor, innocent traffic sign…
