Earful and… Off and Running
Jul14
With an earful of Jimmy’s venting… Spill takes them off to “get things done” land.
And having been to Amsterdam… I have seen firsthand the crazy thing they call their language. Handzeep! … (hand soap in Dutch). It’s what we sometimes shout at my house… for fun.
A Google search transliterates that as “heaven half shouldered hoofed”—which I’m sure it isn’t…
Ha! Yah… I poked around in Dutch before I came up with the silly non-sense name. It SORTA has hints of being a Dutch word. I have always liked the complete foreign-ness of the language.
But it actually being Bastille Day (Happy Bastille Day)… I should say, Vive La France!
But I’m sure Randi isn’t at ALL biased when it comes to Jimmy. 😉
Surely not, no. Randie is so not biased at all.
OH, and I posted a special Bastille Day bonus over on the blog over at Squidrowcomics.com. Enjoy.
I’ve come across people that get uptight about things like this. I used to substitute and watch them never notice. Of course I was being asked to help bro bono with things, not being paid, so…… yeah.
Most artists will mix and match paints. When I paint, I use Golden, Liquitex, Amsterdam… Windsor Newton… interchangeably. Randie would use whatever is on sale. She and Spill often visit the local paint shop’s (house) paint sales of “oops” cans of mixed or rejected paints. House paint is acrylic (unless it is specifically oil… which makes no sense to me).
Makes sense. Get what you need, not what you can stuff into the budget cap!
So they take a boat out to a ship stranded out in the harbor to get the paint for themselves. No wait, that’s Funky Winkerbean.
Watching the Tour de France right now, and the announcers are retired pro cyclists (sometimes VERY retired) who speak any number of odd languages, like Bob Roll’s Flemish and Phil Liggett’s Swahili. Granted, I speak Tsa-la-ghi (Cherokee) Mescalero Apache, Modern Norwegian and Old Icelandic, and even Native American Sign Language.
Winky Funkerbunns … And the coverage that I was watching had some ol’ British guys… I was in Paris one year when the Tour finished … I didn’t watch it though… I’m not really excited about crowds….and cycling is a sport best watched on tv.
