In the mid-eighties I was assigned to a tiny Air Force Station near Manchester, New Hampshire. It was unwritten policy that whoever was running late to work could simply stop in at DD and pick up donuts for the crew, and all would be forgiven. Those were some good donuts, at least back then...

The 3 Series BMW is a great car. Handling and especially the steering is the best in its class. Styling is nice too; I always enjoy looking at them when I blow by them on the Autobahn. (M3 excepted, of course) :D I was sure I'd be buying a BMW before leaving Europe. I had all the details...

Boomer gets Nutro Natural Select (lamb meal and rice).

"Same difference"...??? "I could care less", when the speaker apparently does not care at all. "The life of Riley"...who the heck was Riley and what was noteworthy about his life? "Busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest"...I would think he'd have nothing at all to do.

Congratulations, Rain. I hope you have many happy years together.

Frasier, season 2

Mr. Barry Meyer, Chairman and CEO Warner Brothers Entertainment Dear sir: Although I am glad for the opportunity to buy the DVD release of "Kung Fu, season 1", I regret that I can not support your decision to release this DVD set in modified aspect ratio. Please understand that the...

Apparently it affects your vision, too. ;)

Cool. More for me. :D You're not missing anything you can't live without, and you'll probably live longer. :emoji_thumbsup:

Maybe they have POS Siemens cell phones like my wife's and mine, and if they speak at a normal level the person on the distant end will NOT hear them. Of course that only accounts for 5% of the idiots. I can't wait for this contract to expire...

At the least, it's a good indication that a puppy might be a bad idea right now. There are hundreds (thousands?) of great dogs needing homes in your area, many of which are already housetrained and who won't chew everything in sight out of boredom or simply teething. Good luck!

We have an 8 year old Golden Retriever named Boomer, or more formally, "Tanley von der Zuchtgemeinschaft Kira". We got Boomer shortly after his second birthday, after his former "backyard breeder wannabe" owners gave up trying to breed him with their bitch. When he came to us, Boomer was...

Volvo, Jaguar, and Aston Martin are all Ford owned, as well as Land Rover and Mazda--although I'm not 100% sure if those last two are wholly owned by Ford. Volvos are made in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe. I toured the factory in Trollhatten, Sweden last month. There, they build the XC90...

I'm a happy Golden Retriever owner, but I don't necessarily recommend a Golden in your situation. They shed--some of them shed quite a lot. What you might want to consider is one of the wire-haired breeds. Like the poodle, they tend not to shed. I would also strongly recommend not getting...

After renting Johnny English, I liked the film enough to buy a copy. I'm sure I'll watch it several times, on occasions when I want a mindless laugh. I enjoyed this film much better than the Austin Powers movies--especially Goldmember, which I care for. The negative comments about John...

So next year I have to take a pay cut. Crap. You can't fool me: the damn glass may be half full, but it might just as well be half empty.

I appreciate a well made film, but as far as I know there's no cinematic rule that says a film can be artistic or entertaining--but not both.

Q. What's the best place in the Carribean to spend your honeymoon? A. Your hotel room. Congratulations!

Video killed the radio star

I keep saying that I'm not going to make any more blind DVD purchases, but I went ahead and picked up "Lost in Translation" anyway, based on the critical acclaim it has received, and because I have enjoyed Bill Murray's work in the past--"The Razor's Edge" being the notable exception. I'm...

Hey, that looks like my car! Actually, I'm picking my silver S60 R next Friday in Sweden. I live in Germany and did a lot of comparison shopping among BMW, Saab, Audi, and Volvo. I can't compare it to the Japanese competition, since the cars aren't sold here in US legal trim. I fully...

Your Village Called. They Want Their Idiot Back

A good effort. As someone else posted, there very well could be a market for this, but maybe not in the mainstream press. If you need to refer to Tim's "condition" in future strips, perhaps you could substitute "zombie" for "partially decomposed corpse". This would not only save space, but...

Well, since you've got the contract and they don't, why not make a minor alteration to your copy before you fax it to them? Something to the effect that the customer can cancel the service and obtain a full refund of all fees paid any time after one year if unsatisfied with the company's...

Suggestion: Archive your image files and reprint as necessary. Of course they won't pop out of your printer with the cute curlicue borders...

Darn. After almost four pages of posts I was beginning to think I would be the one to mention "Yes, Minister" as an excellent example of a British sitcom. I just had the opportunity to borrow the box set, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing "Yes, Prime Minister" I heartily recommend it.

I have read Alfa Romeo will resume exports to the US in the near future. Nice cars. In Germany, you can find examples of most manufacturers' vehicles. Most Europeans want/need a fuel efficient car, since gas prices are so high here. You even see Kias, Daewoos, and Hyundays here. Jen, I'm...

When tipping a cow, never do it from the downhill side. (Gravity works) Back on topic: 1) I do not tip for counter pick-ups. 2) I would not expect a complimentary beverage other than water.

Good spelling skills.
