For Onstad:

Song to Be Sung by the Father of Infant Female Children

So, um, yeah.  I dreamed last night that I won some sort of "Dinner with the Stars" thing and so I was going to eat with Onstad.  We were supposed to go to the York Fair (http://www.yorkfair.org/ -- my family goes every year) but then we ended up going to his house, which was right at the fair the way a beach house is right by the boardwalk.

He showed me around his house, which was very nice if a tad labyrinthine.  Onstad himself was nondescript in that dream-person sort of way, but he was several inches shorter than me. I noticed this because he had wine glasses and stuff hanging from the ceiling in his kitchen and they were all hung so low that I had to duck to walk under them.

He cooked dinner, but he kept dishing out plates of really delicious-looking food (I particularly remember some red-beans-and-rice stuff that smelled great) and then laying them out on tables in other rooms but never offering me any (and I was too polite to take without being offered).

We ended up around a big round table with a lot of people I didn't know.  Everyone was having very interesting conversation and eating cake for dessert (but I wasn't eating any because I hadn't had any dinner and, again, too polite to ask for some).

Suddenly I had to go out to my car to get a diaper for my daughter (who was, in real life, sleeping with me and didn't have a diaper on, so I was subconscioudly anxious about getting peed on).  When I got out to where my car was, it had been stolen, which upset me so much that I woke myself up.

Quote from: "Max"

Does anybody else feel like this strip, coming off the CH bender, would have been better served catching up with Teodor, or Mr Bear, or someone?  This 'ray has a crazy idea/beef has a quiet but clever witty assessment' thing just feels even more tired after last week's stuff.

Yeah, I'm with you there. I rather wish we saw any evidence that Ray was shaken up at all by the CH thing. Even a little.

Yeah, I was kind of expecting/hoping that the Cartilage Head story line would end with or result in another little Ray breakdown a la the Korean restaurant from last year...

Pointless (really really pointless) observation -- is it 921 Elden because it's the 9/21 strip?

On a side note, has anyone ever tasted breast milk? Is it good? I must have had some when I was a baby but I forget what it tastes like.

It's waaaaay sweeter than cow's milk.  I've heard it compared to cantaloupe juice.  The little ones seem to like it.   :boobies:

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for a reason to use that emoticon.  My god, that even looks like my haircut.

Gropey Gus?  Huh?

Grumpy + mopey = gropey??

Also, what's the street date for We <3 Katamari? I will have significantly more video-game-system access next year, and I suspect this will need to be duly installed in the common room.

September 7.  Pre-order yours now.   :lol:

I was young and stupid then. I feel old and stupid now.

Thank you for the earworm.
