For a guy who likes to expose other people’s over-use of cliches, this is my third Olympic analogy in the past few weeks.  I have used podiums twice and now this hurdle thing…and why did I make it plural but only drew one hurdle?  I just now caught that.  My promise to you is that I maybe possibly will not draw any more Olympic analogies before the end of the week.  But since we’re on the subject of analogies, Clay Bennett down in Chattanooga (spelled correctly?  I don’t care) drew some really nice hurdles (plural!).

About the HOAs…if you sign an agreement with a butt-head organization with rules you don’t like…don’t run to the media crying about how they’re making you live up to what you promised to do.  Cry babies.

Mr. Ed Hall, I don’t need a Google Alert to come read your blog.  You draw nice cartoons and naked women.  Who needs a Google Alert for that?  I’m glad you’ve taken to my dog-rule but stop blogging about it.  We don’t need the entire editorial cartooning community in on our gold mine of a secret that I so graciously gave to you over a couple of Boddington’s in China Town.

About that Google Alert thing:  It’s not because I’m narcissistic or anything like that.  It’s just a way I can find out if one of my cartoons has been stolen by some anti-abortion fanatic.  See what I did there?  I didn’t mention the fanatic’s name just in case she’s googling herself.  But at least she thought one of my cartoons was a "hoot".
