    I remember a Griener being described as the sound that we make when we try to try to hold flatus in, and it squeezes out between tightly clenched cheeks, (like when you are in a lift); and a costello as a failed Griener, with follow through.

    Just so I know it’s not a unique problem of mine, has anybody else noticed the thread subscription facility is not available?

    How perfectly counter cyclical of you Zut.

    I was moved by today’s portrayal of Peter the Special Platypus, to compose an ode based roughly on the mind numbing anthem “What About Me ?” and then realised that sometimes it is better to just pass on smugly with a smirk.

    For those getting half a toon, I know your pain. Two things you can do 1)although I no gates hater Firefox resolves many of the issues 2) for PCers right click and save as then open the pic you’ve just saved. pain in the palmer but works. Don’t know what apple users do because all their clicks are right so I’m told.

    Thank you Andybob – your talents as librettist and poet-laureate are stratospheric, but not even you could turn that stinking carcass into anything else – and that goes for “What About Me?” too..

    Dear Doggonauts, our dear friends at WordPress must have been whammed by some security sh1t because WordPress blogs all over the western world – yep, even the Pig’s Arms have had trouble with comments, login-ins associated with certain Email addresses and with links to FaceBook and Gravatar. It’s a ferkin tech jungle out there, maties.

    You can avail yourselves of the deep knowledge here – WordPress tech said:

    “We recently updated our commenting system. Now, if someone tries to comment with an email address attached to a WordPress.com account, they’ll need to sign into WordPress.com before they can comment.

    If commenters have forgotten their password they can request a reset:
    http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    The whole sordid sh1tfight is discussed at

    http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/pattidunncomcastnet?replies=14#post-840898

    If someone tries to comment with an email that’s not tied to a WordPress.com account, they won’t need to sign up for an account.

    If you, like me have almost NFI what all this means, I’m sure Firsty will draw us a picture.

    I’m betting this comment will get the living crap moderated out of it, but hey – at least I tried.

    Excellent toon today Doggy. I love a good tilt at hubris – none bigger than the big C – which is why he always gets shafted. And Drover’s cat gets my silver star with fleur-de-lis for reminding us about the C’s dog qualities sans loyalty. Its a toss up who deserves the biggest slap him or the unicorn.

    Nothing personal, Firsty, but Costello as a mutt does explain why he’s so often seen dragging his sorry arse around on the carpet …. now THERE’s a pair of ana1 glands no vet’s going to lay their hands on.
