My dog hates getting his nails clipped.

man, if you EVER slip up and draw blood, you'll never clip that dog's nail ever again...

I have a good friend who will sometimes indulge in a "road beer," though it sounds like insanity to me.

About 30 years when there was much less focus on DWI, DUI, I attended an alumni event (not Duke) in which I felt I'd had my limit of gin and tonics, I definitely didn't want any more.
My wife and I thanked our gracious host who happened to be State's Attorney (prosecutor) for the county...he told us to wait a second at our car, ran inside and brought us two gin and tonics for the road. (I edged down the street and poured them out).

I don't live in a Robin Hood neighborhood.

No further comment.

More of a Sheriff of Nottingham kind of guy?

Too late to be known as Ymo the First
He's sure to be known as Ymo the Worst
A pox on that phony king of Texas!

I thought this was going to end with the Star Wars “it’s a trap!” Meme.

I'm fairly certain I the Ymo the Only. But I lost count.

Should I have gone with "It was the best of Ymo, it was the worst of Ymo"?

The most panned opening phrase to a work of major literature? It would have definitely been one of those two.

Or was that "It's a dark and stormy night."?

Ha! That makes me think of Snoopy!

Calvin and Hobbes for me. And it’s not close.

Snoopy was a great character though.

I thought Calvin and Hobbes was the greatest cartoon (honorable mention: The Far Side), but I agree Snoopy was the greatest single character.

Oh, Ymo, Ymo. Wherefore art though Ymo?

Bloom County followed by Calvin and Hobbes. I had a lot of Charlie Brown books, it was my gateway comic strip to the two I listed.

C&H is great, but my Hot Take was best comic strip character.

So — no votes for Garfield, Henry, Bazooka Joe or Nancy?

(Me neither. Give me Uncle Duke in Doonesbury).

To bring this full circle, Linus taught me that Juliet wasn't asking for his location, she was asking why the man she had met was a Montague.

Bloom County.

Loved Bloom County. Now that I think about it, other than my intimate dork friends network, I didn't really have all that many people to talk to about my super nerdy interests growing up. Shocker.
