I noticed that a lot of playground slides now have a bar across the top so that the kid has to either sit down (intent) or duck under it to go down the slide. I can’t remember the last time I saw a metal slide! I do remember using wax paper to get a metal slide really slick… I also agree that they handled it correctly…
Mike couldn’t really use hockey because in Canada (at least now, maybe it was different back in the original strip’s date) everyone, both male and female, likes watching hockey! At least, that’s the impression I have…
One of my close friends recently changed genders. It is a little strange at first, but I realized that she’s really the same person, just in a different package. Her decision wasn’t an easy one, but it was the right thing for him to become a her.
“San Antonio has been angling for one for decades. I think they’re the largest metro area in the country without an NFL team” Well, assuming that the Giants and Jets are close enough to New York, then based on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_metropolitan_areas_by_population list of the largest metro areas, the “Inland Empire” east of Los Angeles (Riverside, San Bernardino, etc) is the largest metro area without a team. If you give them the LA Rams and Chargers, then San Diego is next, followed by St. Louis. Portland is the largest metro area that never had a football team. You’d have to get past Orlando before you get down to San Antonio.
Actually, this was to be expected as he tried to fix the table one-handed, since his right hand was bandage from “punching the clock” in yesterday’s strip. Or he could just be an incompetent dork.
According to @knutdl, (and counting Grover Cleveland as one person), the odds are even better: 7 of 45 presidents were born/raised in a log cabin!
