Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for May 07, 2014

You’re absolutely right, Luann! ;)

“Come on, now, Fogarty! Surely the 362,571 times you’ve said “Hi!” to Phelps counts for something! …. Right? Riiiiiight?……… Oh… you say that didn’t… help?.." – This also puts Luann *_high up on the list of people who could’ve…. "introduced"… Aaron Hill to that volcano…..

Snarky much, Lu?

LOL on your post, IJB! As has been the case before, GoComics’ program won’t let me reply by hitting the “reply” symbol… And, weird as it sounds, it only seems to happen with your posts! =-O

“Escape Clause”

“Now That You’ve Mentioned It…”“Hypocritical Oath”

or “Teaching It The Hard Way”

A good segue

That’s called “Creating a job market”…. – Or it’s a page from the book series “Irony for Dummies”….

Luann actually has a point for once!

Here’s some more of the B-R bread instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×5×3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray (I like the buttery favored kind) and set aside. Into small mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

2) In a large mixing bowl combine margarine/butter and sugar and, using electric mixer, beat until creamy and light; add egg and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined.

3) Add sifted ingredients alternately with bananas, beating gently after each addition (Mixture should be thoroughly combined, but do not over-beat as this will toughen bread.) Stir in raisins and pour batter into sprayed pan.

4) Bake for 50 minutes (until browned and a cake tester, inserted in center, comes out clean). (I have found, depending on the amount of bananas , that a little more time in the oven is necessary). Remove bread from pan and transfer to wire rack to cool. To serve (supposing there is anything left after “sampling” the bread), cut into 12 equal slices. Serve immediately or individually wrap each slice (I put one slice in one sandwich bag each) and freeze for future use). Hear-say is that Nancy thinks this is a Great recipe! ;)

LOL!!! ;)

Lol! Could have worked as the “cutscene” after “Earache My Eye!”…

6. Find a store that doesn’t carry the “Gunther pattern”….

That would make an awfully sticky sifter LOL! ;)

We like to bake Havalipa (Finnish) bread, Rye bread with seeds, pumpernickel, all sorts of bread using whole wheat flour and honey, Babka (a Polish holiday bread), Irish Soda bread…and, of course, Banana-Raisin bread among others (how could I forget cornbread?!!!). Sometimes I get lazy and use the bread machine, but doing it from scratch is ever so much more enjoyable if one can successfully knead the dough for as long as the recipe calls for… ;)

LOL! ;)

Its hard to pick a favorite, but I guess I like the rye bread the best, with the B-R bread second, and Challah a close third (I don’t make that myself, even though I have three or four recipes for it, not to mention those in the two Jewish Holiday cookbooks that I have)… ;)

Heheheh…BTW, what was the “Kitchen Magician”? ;)

Hmmmmm…tuna melt!!! ;)

Must have been fun, huh? ;)

So what Miss Inner Beauty is saying is that teaching the likes of her was a negative experience. Very true. The hooded half asleep eyes just confirm the point.

Yep! Wretched!!! =-O

Especially if one is baking bread on a chilly, cloudy morning… ;)

Ah, the Witching Hour approaches… ’Nite all! ;)

Benjamin Disraeli (1804 – 1881), once said about a fellow named "Gladstone: “A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity.” Righttttttt! ;)

Hmmmmmmmmm,,,yum! ;)

" . . . Then I got a job keeping people from hanging out in front of the drugstore…"

Lol! Btw, i’ve responded to your post on 05/01. JayBlue, you might be interested as your name is mentioned. :)

“One that was a favorite had garlic and Sicilian olives baked in. You would dip it in a strong olive oil.”

Mmmm, sounds delicious!

“Left a reply on 5/01”

Ditto!

“plans?you mean like lie around and sun just like previous summers?you don’t mean getting ready for the rest of my life do you?”

Seriously Fogarty, get a haircut. It’s sliding back off your head.

it’s not “alternate,” it’s “alternative”…and can we please go back to the prom? one of the best storylines “Luann” lore

Mr. Fogarty! You shouldn’t let some snippy student make you doubt yourself! —Especially not such a poor-to-mediocre student as Luann has been over the years!On the other hand, a final senior essay topic looking forward rather than backward might be more productive of some thought….

Sad…. all that time teaching and he has to change the subject. Such a waste on so many levels….

really not, it’s one of those errors that sort of seeped into the language through inattention… mostly, though, I do this annoying nitpicking just to prove that I’m paying attention… I’m gonna’ kick this up to a higher court, though… d

Summer plans for 18 year olds:~1.Get a summer job.~2.Spend lots of time at the lake.~3.Meet someone of the opposite sex.~4.Spend lots of time with that person.~5.Take a course on the Internet.~6.Shop for new clothes.~7.Go to the county fair.~8.Go to the state fair.~9.Do my own laundry.~10.Make a bonfire on the beach.~11.See as many classmates from high school as possible.~12.Get a broken heart when it is time to say goodbye.

Number 13: Don’t make a baby or 13 will really be an unlucky number with three people involved, her, him and the baby.

You mean you just loitered in front of the drugstore, or sat on the curb, or what? What was the attraction?Ah, those high school days – you’d find 2-3 of us guys inside the drugstore at the pinball machine.

Luann thinks the years she spent in high school were a waste, and the person who tried to teach her thinks so, too. Why should we expect that her coming 2 years at Pitt CC will be any different?

Yep. That saying about rocks in glass houses really applies here.

“Maybe she is the one that shoved.” ^And ,.. possibly ticked that he tried to “cover up” his feelings with a blatant attempt at saying that “just anybody” can replace her, a statement made when he started dating Lian. I’m sure it didn’t take long for her to figure out the difference in Lian’s name and hers…

Actually, this brings to mind how it was on “Wlelcome Back Kotter” and “Head Of The Class”. – I know that “Kotter” is a long way from Pitts (socially as well as geographically), but the wisecracking there went both ways, and eventually some of their gap was “bridged”. What you’ve said reminded me of this. – With “Head Of The Class”, there were wise-cracks as well, but as this was a new decade, some of it also changed. Again, different from Pitts (and even different from “Kotter”), but the nature of the jokes and the interaction took on a different dimension in a new frame of time…..

Okay, Luann, three days detention. And, besides the assigned essay, you also bring me a one-thousand-word composition, “Why you should not mouth off to a teacher.” Due tomorrow.

So, is this supposed to be Evans’ thinly-veiled allusion to his own retirement?About time,He couldn’t be bothered to wrap up the prom arc with at least the characters’ impression of the event. (Maybe Fogerty should have assigned THAT as an essay.)- Luann didn’t take the opportunity of Quill’s immobilization to hash out their relationship? Or perhaps figure out how his “surf injury” will affect an acting career that may involve dancing?- Or Rosa (perhaps) tell Gunther how impressed she was with his resourcefulness? Or realize how she wasn’t?- Perhaps Tiffany had an epiphany about her party planning abilities, and decides to go into business rather than go to Moony U.?- Did Delta and Bernice get to feed that unfortunate family before making their appearance? Where did Delta FIND these people in Pitts? Is there a “wrong side of the tracks” we’ve not heard of?- Did Ox run off Leslie or have any other “adventures” while acting as prom security? Maybe leading to a decision to go into law enforcement? - What about Knute and Crystal? Did they forgo the event for a BDSM session? Or WHaaaaaT?- And did Nancy and Frank have a reaction to finding out their kids were in an automobile accident on the way to their planned dinner? “That’s it! No More Proms!!!”Instead, we get the ready-to-graduate-and-become-adults main characters dissing one of their instructors, and Evans looking like he’s going to rehash his tenure by reprinting a bunch of strips from the past.

Russell Myers broke the fourth wall in today’s Broom Hilda and got even with his character’s criticism of him.-Too bad Mr. Evans doesn’t read the comments here. It would be fun to see how he’d respond to some of those who are telling him what a bad job they think he’s doing…

Ok, Flowergirl, as you suggested I copied & pasted this into Word. So if the recipe fails, its got to be HIS fault, right?BTW, I always try to make recipes healthier. Think I could substitute salad oil for the solid fat?

Aw, DON’T Feel BAD, Mr. Foghat.

Over the Long, Tedious Decades, You Actually DID Teach these Young Heathens a Very POSITIVE Lesson: “Never, Ever, EVER Become a Public School Teacher.”

I didn’t say that Evans prizes Leviticus’ thoughts above the hindquarters of a rodent, only that he is aware of Levi’s existence, possibly because he posts exclusively to Luann.

And that’s our right as readers of this comic strip, other comic strips, and other art forms.

It depends on how Luann is asking the question. Her tone of voice and her demeanor, neither of which we know, would tell us her intentions. Too bad he can’t think of a positive answer, but all who are tired of reading about him in this comic strip, raise their hands.

Couldn’t get my reply to your “reply” suggestion to work…it let me type it, but the “submit” button won’t work… ;p This is try number five… ;)

Hope you’re riding your crest… ;)

Happy early birthday! ;)

Foghat! Hooo- hoo- ha- hah!!! …..

Oh, that was a good one!!!!……

Thanks! I was referring to the continued instructions that were listed today – 1st stepsaid to sift flour, bp, salt, and cinnamon – butyesterday’s ingredient list didn’t list salt.Imbaldeagle’s suggestion of adding chocolate bits sounded good too. Wonder how it would be to have both raisins and chocolate?

Sometimes Fogarty is downright depressing. I’ve taught for just under a decade, and I would seriously rethink my career choice if I spent more than a week without having (or creating/facilitating) a positive experience.
