“Bow”?
Christmas Tree I Don’t Understand
Okay, so Janis won and her decorations are going to be used this year — because for all I know it’s normal for couples who’d been married to one another for all their adult lives to each have their own decorations — but then is what we’re looking at in the final panel (and Arlo is equally happy with) actually the tree with Janis’s decorations?
Married
This has already been sent to me as a CIDU twice today.
My aunt and uncle were married for over 60 years. My aunt is really, really smart, but… a bit on the gullible side. He would always be saying things… well, like this… and she’d always fall for it.
Toward the end of his life, when I saw him doing it again, I said “Uncle Doug, doesn’t this ever get old?” and he said “Nope. Never.”
B.A.: Is the joke that Janis feels compelled to wash everything immediately?
Football
Okay, since I haven’t been to a football game since 1966 — I even managed to avoid going to one when I was visiting my cousins in Dallas last summer — perhaps somebody can explain what he’s talking about? And whether he’s right or just kvetching?
“Sanctioned”?
I don’t understand what Arlo’s talking about, but I’ll defend to the death his right to say it
Disclaimer: There’s some question about whether the quotation I paraphrased did indeed originate with Voltaire.
Frazzoween
Umm… isn’t today when everything’s supposed to make sense?
Outhouses
I think this reference is from way before Arlo’s time as well as before the kid’s time. Probably before Arlo’s father’s time as well. So is this just a case of Arlo having helped himself to the pumpkin spice vodka?
