Don't just peel the tangerine...violate it! Risk going to jail over it! Be Zorba the Greek! Rip that little sucker apart!

"Oops! I forgot about the strings! Isn't life always like that? Just when you're having fun you discover the strings!"

"Well, there's nothing for it but to let the strings fall willy-nilly to the ground. Don't be a dweeb and put them in the wastebasket. Zorba rips his fruit and doesn't worry about the consequences!"

Whoa!I needed those laughs really bad. We (Dallas, TX) just had eighty mile an hour straight line winds and I was outside in lightning and blinding rain saving the HVAC from insane copper thieves. Can you believe that? It's like trying to steal the anchor while the Lusitania is sinking. The unit turned off during a power blip and I had to go outside to reboot that sucker and discovered two stumbling bums with clippers about to cut the lock on the HVAC . "I'VE GOT A GUN AND I'M GONNA' BLOW YOUR BALLS INTO YOUR BRAINS!", I screamed and fortunately a huge clap of thunder like a double-gauge rifle shot went off and scared those idiots off like two comic villains in a silent two-reeler.
Anyway, those photos are just too funny to believe. I was eating an orange while reading it, so that probably helped make the story funnier somehow, like I was a hausfrau following instruction from a cooking show. Yeah, I definitely needed the laughs. I can imagine this as a video slideshow post with apropos music on YouTube. That's the taste of liquid sunshine! photo is my fave.
Hey eddie! how are ya. these latest posts are so fun....I'd love to see you wearing all different fashions, sometime!
Genius! A pictoral display worthy of Ernie Kovacs!
That Zorba really knew how to eat.
Now that's acting!
We need that in cartoons!
I'll have my P&B ready for your next lesson.
Last: Holy Cow! You have a hazardous job! Sounds interesting, though!
Marlo: I just went to your blog AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! I find it shocking that you're not rich yet! You need to get your work into print!!
Can you show me how to eat an avacodo like Winston Churchill? If you do, I'll show you how to eat your words like George Dubya.
- trevor.
Goddammit, why aren't you on TV??
That was fantastic!
Do you even draw anymore? Because your slides are so effective!
Everybody: I've been trying for years to get one eye to operate differently than the other, because it's funny, and it looks like I've succeeded, maybe too well. Now I have fears that I won't be able to control it. Nothing like that has happened yet, but you never know.
I used to wonder if people who had that ability had gekko vision. How would the brain interpret information like that? Now I know. When I do that my vision is blurred. Is that how Marty Feldman saw things?
