And a lot hairier than I expected!

If you don't posses an encyclopedic knowledge of old cartoon strips, you're probably very confused by the post thus far. It all makes sense to me, tho.* It's a downside of having a phenomenally good memory for things I've read. Particularly if it's funny. I've got dozens of books of cartoons: Dilbert, Calvin & Hobbes, User Friendly, Perishers, Garfield... I never read them. I just glance at the strips from time to time. No point in looking any closer, as soon as I see it I remember it word for word.

I remember one time at university, I used to borrow Garfield books from a bloke down the corridor when I was bored. He once went through the two or three dozen books, picking strips at random and giving me the first line. I gave him the exact punchline to every single strip. It was worrying, really...

Anyway, the point of this whole post was just to say: Bloody Hell, tomorrow is my last day off! Where the Hell did August go???

Doesn't time fly when you're doing absolutely nothing for an entire month? All those things I was planning on doing...

Ah well. Maybe next year :o)

*It goes like this: One of the main characters in the strip was a dog, and once a year he'd be taken to visit a beach, where he'd go and watch the crabs in a rockpool. The crabs assumed the sudden appearance of "eyeballs in the sky" were some kind of apocalyptic vision, and on one occasion a particularly prophetic crab yelled 'Repent! The end is nigh!' just before the dog slipped and fell, rump-first, into the water. Prompting the punchline of 'Cripes, it's nigher than I thought! And a lot hairier than I expected!'. All clear now?
