Strip!

Sports analogies and references pervade our culture - heck, I've heard many an argument presented in football terms. Many people find this tiresome, and I can understand their position.

Having said that, this is the funniest sports-related comic strip I have read in a long time. I LOL'ed when I read it. (I did not, however, ROTFLMAO. Nothing is that funny. Well, very few things anyway. Far fewer than you would be led to believe by people who forward jokes via email.)

If your paper doesn't carry this particular strip you should consider asking them to. It's generally quite funny - and rarely about sports, for those of you who are concerned about these things.

Another weekend update: Sunday my baby sister competed in her second triathlon. (Apparently insanity does run in the family. I can understand doing one, but signing up for a second?) In all seriousness, congratulations Meg!
