The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 22, 2024

“Sip Sip Hooray!” Indeed. Stay cool while it’s still summer.

When November arrives, wrapped up in layers of clothes, we will miss these days of heat.

If the lemons Gladys used were Meyers lemons, she couldn’t go wrong.

Folks, we have a born “winner” today.

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug. Burns your tummy, don’t ya know.

Add some vodka.

I just found me a new lemonade drink myself a few weeks ago while I was at Wal-Mart.It’s called “Calypso” (Taste of the Islands) It’s in a glass bottle and has bits of real lemonin it… They just reduced the price down to 98 cents a bottle, so its quite affordable.. There are several other flavors as well in their line.. I like the “Ocean Blue” as my favorite.However the stuff does have a ton of sugar in it.. I guess that’s what makes it so good.

Brutus would be happy with Koolaid

Ha! Great line!

Tomorrow Gladys will put the lime in the coconut and he’ll drink it all up.

Rhymes with “Tanqueray”!

“When life gives you lemons. Make yourself a screwdriver.” Reba McEntire

Nice to get a win once in a while.

Brutus is a lucky man. Lemonade made with fresh squeezed, lemons, not too sweet, not too tart, is a treat indeed. A labor of love by Gladys.

he seemed to approve it. :D

Good stuff huh Brutus ?

For some reason here in Ohio, this week our “hot summer days” are in the 50s.

Way to go girl. Now where are the lemon bars to go with it…..

Attaboy Brutus….you put a smile on her face!!

I love lemonade.

Ever had blue raspberry lemonade? Great stuff!

I take that Sip Sip as a strong “maybe” Brutus? Extra Extra read all about it… Thoughtful and Unexpected unique Compliment spoken in the Thornapple Family. Sip Sip to all the Born Loser fans…

Love it! I think I’ll steal that (with proper attribution of course) at my firm’s Friday bourbon hour!

The delay was due to disbelief that he did it right.

My wife and I each have only one kidney (after my donation / her transplant), so Mayo Clinic tells us to drink lots of Crystal Light lemonade for good kidney health. It’s good!

Where is the treat?

Brutus gets a rare win!

Nothing better

A rare treat for Brutus! The only thing that might have made it better would have been if it had come from Mother G! :-D

A refreshing glass of lemonade from Gladys and a clever quip from Brutus add up to a rare happy ending for The Born Loser.
