Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 11, 2011
Transcript:
Rat: Behold, I, master linguist Rat, seek to test the linguistic theory that when people don't understand a word, they automatically assume it's inappropriate. Thus, I have invented the phrase schloop schloop ping-a-pang bong,' which means, 'to play a vigorous game of 'Monopoly''. Pig, please read this note to the kind person next to you. Pig: 'Hello, ma'am. care to come home with me and schloop schloop ping-a-pang bong?' *kapishhhhhhh* Pig: Looks like someone doesn't like 'Monopoly'. Rat: 'Result inconclusive. Must test on a goat.' Goat: Check please.
This has nothing to do with the comic, so I ask for tolerance. I also realize that many of you are not from the United States, so I ask extra tolerance. Feel free to use the scroll key!
September 11,2001Ten years ago today we wept As enemies attacked.It felt as though our own blood poured: Our hearts and minds, pain-wracked.
The day was one of blood and tears Of smoke, of fire, of painOf heroes giving their own lives As ashes fell like rain.
That day all prejudice was gone As we stood side by side;Our foolish fights, our differences, Forgotten with our pride.
Can’t we leave off our rotten feuds To honor all those men?And take our neighbor by the hand, United once again?
The only we that we’ll stay strong And stand against the odds,Is mend the rifts, be once again- One nation under God!
We Shall Never Forget
