  • I will not be taking any questions at this time.

  • According to Green's Dictionary of Slang, it can mean many things. In this case, I'm betting on:

    pipe, v.(3) 1.  to look over, to inspect. 2. orig. of a detective, to follow, to pursue; to spy on. 3. to understand, to work out. [with US examples 1882-1962]

  • I believe so. According to Green's Dictionary of Slang, it usually referred to an obese person (or group thereof), but being used to mean "beefy" doesn't seem too far removed.

    beef trust (n.) [ironic use of SE beef trust, a conglomerate of beef producers/processors; orig. late 19C carnival use, created by showman W.B. ‘Billy’ Watson (born Isaac Levy; 1852–1945), who thus named his sideshow of grotesquely overweight women, the term was later adopted in his burlesque to describe a chorus-line of notably large girls; Watson also created the chicken trust, composed thin and reportedly beautiful women]

    1. (Aus./US) an obese person, a group of obese people [with examples dated 1914-2002]

  • True, he's been blind since birth, but that doesn't mean the buffalo wasn't great.

  • Yep, truly a disgrace. No boob-chasers at all in the theatre or movie industries. Especially not among the guys in charge

    1. At first I misread this as him wassailing her drawers. Not sure if that would have been better or worse...
    2. I have to think the plot was setting the guy up as a raving lunatic--what other kind of person would berate someone for NOT storing their sweaters in their underwear drawer?

  • Dadgummit, Laura!

    Jump

  • Great. I'll be way over here then, watching you. If you go crazy, I'll know it was a cosmic horror.

  • And my skirt! Oh, wait, no; that had polka dots when I bought it.

  • "I'm not sure why I'd want to do that, but science marches on!"

    Jump

  • I was ready to dispute this, but I went out back and tried it--you're dead on. Go scientific method!

  • Yes.

  • Austin Powers!

  • That's because it's the 1950s.

  • We saw one yesterday in a parking lot with a big 'fro that was shaved short around the bottom, like a 'fro crossed with a bowl cut. Coincidentally, that was right after commenting in the store that mushrooms must "in" this year for home decorating.

  • Oh sure, but they're never around when you need them, are they?

    Jump

  • Ok, gorillas seem to be a recurring theme here. Were they that common in the comics of the era or are most of these from the same issue? Or maybe I simply have a heretofore unrealized sensitivity to gorillas.

  • Bessie was also a boa constrictor.

  • Have we already seen this one? It seems familiar.

  • They accused her anyway.

    Jump

  • So is he a villain or not? The outfit, gun, and threat say he is. But if he's implying that he'll protect her cooking reputation, maybe he's a saint!

  • This issue: non-stop action-packed thrills!

    Jump

  • No, wait, it just ripened! Now there's no way I'll be able to get it home before it goes bad!

  • But what did you expect to happen when they said "you may now kiss the bride" to a robot?

    Jump

  • I guess all of the facility's investments went to individually-tailored hospital gowns.

  • This always happens to me at the most inconvenient times...

  • Octopuses are masters of disguises!
