From Jack Applin:
He notes:
In this scene from The Shining, it’s funny that he would call a blood splatter expert to analyze thousands of gallons of blood. Ha! The mystery is the names. Who is Tom Wilkins? Who is Phil?
Well, I’m Phil, but not THAT Phil, so I’m with him! Anyone??
Perhaps even weirder, when I search for
“Tom wilkins” blood spatter
I get mostly hits for this cartoon–including from the Andertoons site, where it’s filed under “Holiday Cartoons”. What kind of holiday?!?!
Even as a Michigan alum, I have to admit Script Ohio by the Ohio State Marching Band is one of the best marching band formations ever.
Go ahead … make my marinara.
We’re mostly coffee drinkers, but I do make the occasional pot of tea, particularly to make iced tea. This is new to me. To confess my sins, I usually just rinse out our (glazed) teapots, but that’s more laziness and a desire not to risk that slight aftertaste of dish soap that didn’t get completely rinsed out. So maybe I’m doing the right thing by accident, (which is better than doing the wrong thing intentionally).
Any advice from tea drinkers out there?

Mitch4 sends in this concrete example of an LOL:
Mitch4 sends this in, along with today’s important medical information: “I noted this because it was a misunderstanding I used to have. The point of the “turn your head” part of the hernia check is really just “so that you don’t cough on me!”. But I long thought it had something to do with some connection between the muscles and tendons in the neck and upper torso with the scrotum and waistline (potential hernia areas), so that the cough-test would work.
“And the cartoonist is here relying on that misunderstanding, or even worse, not only thinking that the turned head is an inherent part of the test, but here seeming to rely on the turned head *alone*, without the visceral grip.”
Mitch4 sends in the LOL (and Geezer Alert):
From 1954.

From Jack Applin, who asks, “Is this anything more than ‘Kids/parents these days!’?”
