Thanks for the warm welcome, Greg! I think you should continue to call it an “eye.” Just like JK Rowling could have left her first Harry Potter title “The Philosopher’s Stone” for US audiences. (Why should we pander to ignorance?) But then I like learning new things, that’s not true for everyone.
Interesting that the previous flap was over putting the water heater in the basement vs attic, I would expect it to be over the redundancy of “hot water heater.” I still call it that although I’m aware of the redundancy, old habit I guess.
Wait, the real Greg Cravens is right here on this thread. Awesome! I love your strip! I just recently read a book where they referred to the stove burner as an eye. Pretty sure it was Neil Gaiman. Are you a Brit, Greg?
I have no idea how many bottles of Rooster sauce we’ve purchased. Perhaps that’s one of the secrets to a long and happy marriage, not keeping track! :-)
Allan, not sure how old you are but the title of Michael Moore’s book and movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, was merely a play on words. It was taken from the title of Ray Bradbury’s famous (iconic, classic, MUST READ) novel, Fahrenheit 451. Get ye to the library, young man. Or the Kindle store or wherever you find reading material, because it’s now on your summer reading list. ;-)
It’s true, all babies look like Winston Churchill! Some of us mothers are realistic enough to say so! At about 2 months they really get cute. ;-)
