As soon as I heard this I knew it would be my comic. Which spared my inclination toward comic vanity when later in the day I offered this bit of comic gold:
Molly: Cats always land on their feet.
Me: Actually, that’s a myth.
Molly: You’re a myth.
Me: Myth Wiederhoeft?
(Apparently it also beat out Tommy Thompson giving watermelon seeds to Missy, and lightning striking our house during the season finale of LOST).
Fade to…white???
A month or two ago, Wisconsin revealed its stupid, unoriginal, and slightly embarrassing new logo and slogan:
On an evening stroll through my neighborhood I saw a tavern had posted this response:
It’s unfortunately a much more accurate summary of our state’s culture of overindulgence, so that’s kind of pathetic, but I still found it a dang funny response to a ridiculous waste of tax-payer dollars. Live like you mean it? Oh right, by doing a cartwheel! Wisconsin just sounds so enticing – I want to go to there! Sorry, I feel that discussions about ineffective and/or obnoxious advertising is one place where sarcasm is warranted.
Also on my neighborhood walk, the marquee makes it official! Get excited…
I love my little neighborhood. And sometimes I love my state. Like today… come on state legislature, you can do it! Pass that smoking ban!
