Not That Impressive, Really

October 30, 1965

One thing I find interesting is how many times cartoons, comics, TV shows, movies, basically anything pop culture-related of a certain age go to the William Tell well. It's like quicksand, piranhas, and dynamite. Just made us kids go around thinking someone would want to shoot an apple off our head.

"I got up just before dawn this morning." "Good slap-happy God, why?!?" is a much better response.

At this time of year, dawn is typically around 5:50 AM in Cleveland, Ohio, which is a normal time to wake up if you have to be at work by 8 and you have a normal routine that includes eating breakfast every morning.

You should be lucky you even get breakfast. Some people never get to eat breakfast before work. I mean, I could but I don't want to get up any earlier than I already do. And I sure as hell am not going to go to bed earlier if that's the next thing you're thinking.

"Duck and cover"? Is the sun going to start shooting at you? I thought the Sun-Thornapple vendetta had been resolved.

Pink and Doughy

"It was the saddest funeral I had ever attended." I wonder if this man was a child with Little Leroy or if Leroy died just a few years ago. I hope it's the former because that means this man has been carrying around the guilt of this sad story and of him surviving into adulthood for decades.

Hurricane Hattie is totally going to dig up Little Leroy Metternick's grave if he was buried with his new skates.

It's the middle of September. The time for sun tans is over.

Besides, I shall never forget Little Jeremiah Pumperoy trying to get a good suntan. He sat out too long and burned himself. He soon got skin cancer and within a week, Little Jeremiah was in Heaven.

If you would like to support my writing or this website, you can buy me a cup of coffee over on Ko-fi.

Don't You Do It!

Eclipse. Don't you do it! Hope everyone has fun out there. Please wear glasses.
