Image Number: 76032
Caption: Obedience School. Grimm, what are you doing? I'm editing this stupid "Dog Command" book of yours. Like "stay." You really think dogs should "stay," seriously? Look at these thighs. These were made to chase cars, not "stay." And "fetch," what a dumb command. You throw a stick and we "fetch" it. Really? ... No, we should "fetch" trash bags or mailmen. And then there's "sit." Seriously? You're teaching dogs to sit? BOOT. However, I find "playing dead" can be quite useful.

Image Number: 73660
Caption: Shopping for Christmas gifts is so confusing. Look at my family's wish list: XMAS Xtravangaza. Visit Santa. Photos. My mom wants "a simple gift." What does that mean? And what does my dad mean by "something inexpensive but useful"? My brother wants a "metric long ball hex set." What the heck does that mean?? Mom? Dad? Brad? Then there's all these "sales." What does "best price guarantee" mean" What does "up to 70% off - and more" mean? Well, it's nice that you're thinking about the meaning of Christmas ...

Image Number: 65997
Caption: Ha! Dogs are always making fools of themselves trying to be useful. Cats are above all that. We know that our mere presence justifies our existence. Still, we don't mind occasionally helping out a bit if it's not too inconvenient. I do what I can to improve the scenery around here.

Caption: Don't you have more useful things to do? We're staying in touch with our friends, Mrs. T. Communication is a good thing. Just don't send any mean messages … They're like a punch in the nose. A punch in the nose is technically "touch". And communication.

Caption: Walden Pond. "The truly efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task, surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure." Henry David Thoreau. Frank, do you think Thoreau's philosophy is applicable in today's world? Absolutely! This idea will be very useful next time I have a job performance review!
