That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 09, 2024

My original post from 2018:

Kristina found herself in the embarrassing position of not having any change for a tip for the messenger boy.

/// Ewald handed Arendse a letter.

He was shy; (it’s the day he first met her).

From afar he’d admired

her, and now he desired

to concoct a long-term plan to get her.

/// Yet, the ruse he would choose to employ

to meet Arendse brought him no joy.

He was mortified that

she tossed coins in his hat.

She’d assumed he’s a messenger boy.

My original comment: – Painter; off stage. – “Cut! Messenger boy, it a letter not a knife. Lady, don’t looks so bored by it all, you are receiving an important letter! TAKE TWO!”

Uber eats driver trying to look casual as he delivers the cocaine.

“Guess what, Mom. I just invented the remote control!”

“But dear, the TV won’t be invented for another 52 years.”

“I found it in your hiding spot, Annette. I want your desserts from now on, or I tell mother what you’ve been doing with this”.

Today’s episode of Sesame Street: Copenhagen was brought to you by the letter “L”

“Ma, the store was out of Prune Danish. All it had was Prune Pop Tarts®.”

“Do you know what I’m suggesting when I do this?”

“This is my b*tch detector. Beep. Beep. Beep.”

In olden days, a glimpse of a female’s stocking

Was looked on as something extremely shocking

But for as for men’s clothes, Lord knows anything goes

Good taste in acceptable female public attire

Left very little for males to rudely admire

Until the honeymoon suite curtains do close —

Then EVERYTHING goes …

My finger is sore, here, pull this instead.

The quaint old Danish custom of presenting a mostly used roll of toilet paper to your beloved has evolved over time. Nowadays, generous “billionaires” toss entire rolls of paper towels to the grateful groveling masses. “You’ve come a long way, baby !”

George heard that Molly would do it “at the drop of a hat”.

He’s presenting her with a petition/

Supporting his modest ambition/

To add some variation/

To their rare copulation/

In the “missionary position”..

“See this rod? It matches mine. Wink, wink.”

Anthony Weiner — the early days…

No….mom…it’s not what you’re thinking….

life hack – get out a new roll of TP before the last is completely gone

“Now, darling, please put that back and stop going through Momma’s bedside drawer. Oh, and don’t tell your father about what you found there.”

(syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string Letter, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly B1 paper size painting. 

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2103 (12/18/18) (May 8, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment and reply there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, only work by him used here (2 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the December 18, 2018, strip being its first use.

I can’t quite make out what object is on the floor next to the young man’s foot. Is it his hat or a bedpan?

“Jeez Mom! At least light a match in there before you come out!”

“Ewald’s First Meeting With Arendse”, 1875

The early days of relay races.

Arendse Hulegaarde/

Made Evald’s equipment hard/

And since she resisted/

He swiftly enlisted /

But he quit to become Denmark’s “baaaard”.

Now this one really is a dreary color palette. This is what everything looked like just after my eye surgery.

It is customary to tip after a Jarabe Tapatio!

Some comments from the 12/18/2018 posts …

Strob: “Here, you dropped this, but it must be broken; all it does is vibrate.”

Call me Ishmael: “Thank heaven ! I’d been forced to resort to my electric toothbrush !”

Funny_Ha_Ha: Dude … that’s not how you hold a neuralyzer so you ain’t men in black. Not a light-saber so no Star Wars. Not shaped like a phasor so not a trekker. You are obviously not holding a marital aid. This must be a summons or a Valentines card.

Knightman: Here’s your stick that was up your……!!!

J Short: Tom tries to threaten Josephine with a piece of old celery.

Anya57: Harrison couldn’t bear to let go of the remote, even When nature called.

Call me Ishmael: “I’m afraid this is our last meeting, Griselda. Amazon has replaced me with a delivery drone.”

d1234dick: mother alice snuck off with her son to help him smoke his joint

Papared25: “Charles, I’m glad you like my eyes. By the way, they’re up here.”
