can you even do that anymore?

I was driving yesterday.  In my car.  Because that's how I drive.  Unless I'm driving something else.  Like a goat.  With a steering wheel. 

But yes, my car.  So, I was driving my car and saw smoke coming out of a chimney.  I know!  I didn't know that happened, either! 

I mean, I've seen it on TV and movies, but in real life?  Is that even legal?  Do people actually heat their homes with an open flame? 

That seems really dangerous.  I mean, fire burns things.  Like wood.  And the house was made of wood.  That's just ASKING for trouble! 

Now, it might sound romantic, but really, take a look around your house.  Anything flammable?  ALL OF IT! 

So that's your lesson.  Fire kills comic books.  It's dangerous to have fire around things of value.  Like comic books.  And people.  And my collection of dry wood in the shape of Disney characters from the 1940's. 

Yeah...they seemed like a good investment at the time. 

I'm still hoping they go up in value.  If you're looking for some, I can sell'em at a good price.  The Harry Horse is very rare.  Ten bucks and it's yours.

I'm off to put out the fire. 

Enjoy Everything.

you won't see me here

Again, sometimes I don't quite understand other cultures. Then again, I don't understand most things that don't involve comic books, so I'm pretty clueless.

England had its annual "Tough Guy Race" a few days ago. Sound like fun? Did you know that you have to sign a death warrant before starting? I guess you have to say they won't be responsible...if you die...from this race.

I know what some people might say, "Well, you run the risk of death every time you get into your car." And they'd be right. BUT, I don't get into my car thinking, "I'm going to drive my car all crazy-like with hopes of risking death."

You have to run through a pond full of leeches, scale a 40ft tall wall, and even run over burning tires. How do you decide to do all that?!

"So, what do you want to do today?"

"Hmmm...How about we care for kittens at the local shelter?"

"OR! We could go run over burning tires!"

"Well slap my wrists and call me sprinkles! I'm all about that!"

"Really? I was just kidding. I'm all about the kittens."

"oh...yeah...me too. I love kittens. Like, way more than catching on fire."

So, if you're a tough guy or gal, you can go cover yourself with leeches and play with fire. I'll stick to fluffy bunnies.

I'm off to toughen up.

Enjoy!
