A Good Laugh To Start Your Day

janet_coburn and matociquala especially should enjoy today's 9 Chickweed Lane:

Dear Thorax,

Recently I married a woman whom for many years I've been in love with. Every day now is replete with a passion and happiness I cannot help but look forward to. Every night is pure rapture nothing else can compare with. Have I any right, in such a world as this, to live with a woman I feel such insatiable ardor for?

Dear Overawed,

If you end another sentence with a preposition, I'll kill you with my bare hands.

I guess they had the wedding off camera.

Ack! Of course, to borrow from Churchill, that is the sort of stuff up with which we shall not put.

But the response could also have been If you end another sentence with a preposition, my bare hands I'll kill you with.

Yoda, pleas my hear...

Nope. Miscellaneous plotlines leading up to the wedding, which "started" Feb. 6 and officially finalized Feb. 20. If you subscribe to comics.com, you can check in out in the archives.

If you hadn't gone for the Churchill quote, I would have. It's one of my favorites.

P.S. Thanks, Tom. I needed that. Yesterday was my first day teaching since the operation and it was . . . tiring.

Given McEldowney's propensity for drawing shapely women, that's a very appropriate typo. :)

Bwaha. Silly frickin' me. :)

Bwa-ha-ha!

Excellent!

[matociquala.livejournal.com]

Hee. I was going to quote that.

The Churchill quote was indeed the first thing I thought of.

[mouser.livejournal.com]

Must have missed it.

The odd thing about the Churchill quote is that "put up with" isn't ending a sentence with a preposition, because that rule goes out the window when the preposition in question is part of a phrasal verb. How can you tell a phrasal verb? Well, "put up with" has a different meaning to "put," and also to "put up," since they mean "tolerate," "place," and "store" or "board," respectively. Aren't idioms fun?

I had the same reaction. :-)
