    Actually this is the funniest collection I've seen in a while. Thanks for the laugh. I have been going around the condo stopping the cold air coming in. I freaked out when I looked at the outside thermometer. I didn't know it could get that cold! I can't even recall it being that cold when it snowed in 2002 on Christmas Eve. Ten degrees? Really. I thought it was a joke.

      Chilly for your part of the country.
      At 8AM yesterday it was 35, and by 2PM it was 5. I'm at 44 N Lat. I usually turn the furnace off overnight as I like it "cool" for sleeping. Usually only a 20 degree drop from 10 until 5.
      I kicked the furnace on at 3AM. Current temp is still at -8 with 25mph winds.
      I haven't run out of stupid things to do ..... yet.

          But wait! There's more!
          Odds are long that you'll be around for this youngster's 100th birthday. Yet, a reasonable extrapolated vision may be created. Forty-plus years in the future, a Friday the 13th looms. (Is it really obsessive/compulsive to look at details such?) An LRR (Last Ride Rocket) stands at the ready for it's one and only launch.
          Need to start making fuel and gathering nitrates well in advance of the EVENT

          Happy Holidays!

            One large wrinkle in your plan, The end of this 12K cycle will need to be survived, also, crustal shifts, volcanic eruption, earthquakes and the finally, the sun's micro nova.
            Probable within the next 20 years at the present rate of magnetic pole movement and weakening of the magnetic field...hope you make it.

    I loved 'the baby pooped' and I changed him" When my first born was about ten months old, he managed to remove his diaper and his nanny heard him and headed for his room. Fortunately she carefully opened the door and caught him, standing in his crib and waving the diaper in the air. He had 'painted' his crib and was slinging the contents of his diaper around the room and all over himself. She assured me that was the nastiest little white boy in Houston, but she let him finish what he was doing and then she got the largest towel in the house, wrapped him in it and headed for the shower where she cleaned him up. She then proceeded to clean the nursery. The whole apartment still smelled like Pine Sol when I got in from work. We both sat down and laughed our heads off. I was glad she loved him so much. I would have probably drowned him in the tub. In less than a week, I had him potty trained! He was very intelligent.

    These are great OUC. I laughed and laughed at Fetterman and the NYT. It kind of tells the whole reality in one panel, doesn't it? Have a glorious Christmas. Thank you for making me laugh.

    Great ones, oh great one! LMAO!

    I'm sure my wife left that sign on the toilet for my son when he was little! The chopper tractor - beauty!

    Hey! Now wait a minute! No fair taking pictures of me helping the guys push that truck! LOL! They never caught on and it worked for me!

    Merry Christmas, OUC! And to all in the Gulch!

    Now I know what to do with the dead mower in my shed. Too cool for school! And about the mask - been there and done that when I was in college. We had way too much fun in our fraternity.

    I'm late to the party again! Belated Merry Christmas to all and, Carl, I hope you're not frozen fast to your keyboard right now! We managed -4 and a wind chill of -31 here in the suburbs west of Cleveland. Warm times are already arriving and the laughs from these memes have warmed our hearts!

      Happy to provide that warmth.
      Had a couple of unbearable days, only because we've dodged the bullet these past 5 years, all in all, it was par for the course in normal times.
      I also was prepared for once with extra fire wood, hand cut and split. ( had to keep this already skinny 70 year old shrinking body in shape) and I also invested in extra heating oil with 200 gallon tubs on aluminum skids.
