UM: You thought I was Canadian? That's a new one. I've never stepped foot in Canada. [Smile]

TSN: Well, Diane really was my name, just not legally. [Razz]

Diane: What I meant was that I'd always assumed you were a full-fledged, jus soli American, and merely of Chinese ancestry. I had no idea you were actually Chinese...

Ultra - you might want to do something about that nose-fetish of yours! ;o)

I'm sorry Ziyal/Diane I too thought this thread was going to be about the comic strip - I love that comic strip. I also LOVE Calvin and Hobbes. Lately they've been up to Calvin and his snow-men sculptures - they are SO bloody hilarious. LOL! I wish we had snow here, so I could do that. The Giant snowman running after all the little snow men ;o) LOL!

Keep Diane, it's easier to pronounce, is it? Anyway, I changed my name to Michael because my real name apparently meant little boy in Spanish and a natureal phenomenon led kids in my school believe I can control weather.

"Lately they've been up to Calvin and his snow-men sculptures..."

Erm... You do know that the "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip was discontinued about... six years ago, IIRC, right?

yesss yessss I know that it has been discontinued... maybe it's just our newspaper that never originally purchased the strip when it first came out and are just getting around to publishing them now, but I suspect that they are just repeating them - they're still great. You HAVE to laugh at the snowmen though.

I heard about this new cartoon coming called "Thundercats" ;o) OK, how far behind are we on For Better or For Worse... what is happening 'over there' atm? Or has that been discontinued too?

It's still going over here, though I don't follow it at all. Apparently it's somewhat unique in the comic strip world in that the characters (based on Ms. Johnstion's family, IIRC) age.

I remember when the Dad came home in the snow storm to find the pizza guy helping to deliver the family's youngest kid ...

... I hope he got a good tip out of that. A five-spot just don't cut it.

I know people from Spain are a bit backwards, but still...

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Let us never speak that name ever again. Or else I'm going to start hunting members who mention it and give them 8 inches of payback.
