Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 26, 2013

So, the apple does fall near the tree.

When they play Clue, do they use the actual weapons?

Well, now we know where Rat gets his………oh, Bilan pointed it out, already.

Maybe a nice relaxing massage instead.

Oh, it’s the United Nations!

Rat and Wanda should quietly sneak off to the bedroom for a relaxing massage….

Meesta Pastes no can draw pretty woomen.

At $300 an hour I’m sure Wanda isn’t too upset…

Is his dad Amish?

When Rat’s family plays hopscotch, they use real hops and real Scotch!

Putting my international pedantry hat on, technically Holland is a province of the Netherlands, but their soccer jerseys still say “Holland” and it’s a culturally recognized metonym.

Reminds me of the Carol Burnett show sketch that had Momma & Eunice’s family playing Sorry.

The Dutch might tell you that Holland and The Netherlands are technically NOT the same thing. Just one more mistake on the part of the culturally narrow minded USA. And of course, who would expect a bunch of rats to know?

Still a very Foggy Day! Which reminds me of a story, of a young couple had a new born son, about a year passed, and they knew after many visits with specialists that their son would never speak, nonetheless they doted on him with every resource they had… the years past, and he grew and grew and turned into a very handsome lad of 14. At the evening meal, all of a sudden he blurted out “this taste like SHIT! The parents were aghast to say the least and said “you can speak? Why haven’t talked before? And he said “up to now, all was fine”

I prefer the Lincoln. You have to go through Jersey City to get to the Holland

Wanda would “marry” an aircraft carrier if the money was right!

Bruno, when we played Risk we allowed one air drop of ten armies into any territory…..Changed the game a bit…

When they play Sorry they call it “You’ll be Sorry”!

I don’t know how it’s possible, but Wanda just gets uglier with every appearance.

@ Thomas Scott Roberts

My dear friend who lives in the Netherlands will tell you that Holland and the Netherlands are most decidedly not the same thing.. lol He would know, he’s fiercely national and also celebrates Sinterklass as well as Christmas, altho he stipulates that he celebrates Christmas only because of his niece and nephew. :)

Why does Wanda look more like a hooker than a massage therapist?

“I’ll smash your Netherlands!”

They are somewhat Dangerous!

RAT is apologizing for his rude and antagonistic relatives??? Goat must have rubbed off on him.

Trivial Pursuit After Dark

Must be his aunts and uncle.

You wouldn’t be referring to any particular family member here would you?

What’s their stance on typos (alla Seinfeld)?

It’s like Monopoly.
