As an ex-runner we used to engage in “speed play” to mix aerobic and anaerobic exercise in a fun way. Perhaps Joe needs to get back on his bike and enjoy a little “fartlek” before returning to the shop.
Garfield might be improved if it did. Sophomoric? Can you choose a more pretentious insult for those who like a little base humour now and then? What’s wrong with silly? Anyway, being a sophomore means you’ve survived your freshman year and are being educated, both positive things, so really not a good insult.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary: “Of or pertaining to, befitting or resembling, characteristic of, a sophomore; hence, pretentious, bombastic, inflated in style or manner; immature, crude, superficial.” The last three words especiallly seem fitting. “Juvenile” or “puerile” also works. None of these words, by the way, are synonyms of “silly.”
All those words, and the judgement, however, ARE silly. To insult the humour of others, to deny their laughter, in order to express one’s own sense of humour as being superior in some way, that is very silly. Of course, if the laughter is related to the disrespect of another, then THAT would be immature, crude, and puerile.
If one feels the need to demonstrate one’s superiority to others, one clearly doubts one’s equality in the first place.
Yum… burritos. And all I have is a dinky microwave pizza for lunch. Dagnabbit! (Of course, I did have a good burrito on Tuesday, so I guess I can’t complain too much.)
Supposedly, one can light a fart, but the laws where I live say that one must have a red rear reflector or taillight, and said taillight must be steady. Flashing lights are acceptable as an additional taillight, but not as a replacement for the steady taillight/red reflector.
Sure enough, but you can make a stronger light by burning gas anyway.
In a gas lamp, the gas flame (almost invisible) is used to heat up some other material to such degree that it starts to glow intensively – thus produce light). http://home.howstuffworks.com/gas-lantern1.htm
We’re bicyclists… we don’t need gas
Extra propulsion:)
Yehuda working a late shift?
My side bar is coming up with adverts for Tretorn boots. Which do look nice, I have to say.
gashole?
I always eat pineapple with my burritos. That way I’ll make Hawaiian music…
I may not have to fill up with gas, but I seem to expel plenty…

This is the 3rd comic in as many weeks with sophomoric humor. Even Garfield doesn’t stoop that low…

I simply was raised to believe that certain subjects are not discussed in polite society, and scatological references fall into that category.
While in the dictionary check the meaning of “uptight” and see how that fits into this discussion.
Oh, and may the Fart be with you!

Rocket propulsion!
… or for recumbents, a retro-rocket for emergency stops?
Naaahh, for ‘bents it’s a jump jet
I cannot count the number of times I wish I could harness my tail winds. ~sigh~ Even if I could just use them to run a light at the back?

Maybe Bill, but Yolanda would certainly get attention that way!
some days, like if I’ve had dairy, I think I just could produce a steady light! Maybe though I’d need a holding tank to even up the pressure.
So you have the same problem as Leonard in ‘Big Bang Theory’?
And on top of that, I think methane burns blue….
