And the last one would be, I guess, "a few Z's." (Probably bad syntax but one can't really be picky.)<br><br>I know David doesn't hasn't come here lately, but I'll bet if he read that list he'd say something like, "Where were you when I wrote that strip? I could have used that!"

[Tom Flapwell]

Does David ever take someone else's idea, except in a reworking of an old joke like the <i>Night at the Opera</i> spoof?<br><br>I'm afraid neither "zinc oxide" nor "a few Z's" quite cuts it for our purpose. Alas.

[TyVulpine]

though, why is there a fire going, if they're not even close to it? Pointless to have one, if they aren't going to sit by it....

[Softpaw]

Eh, some houses use wood fires for heat, perhaps that's what they're doing. The house I grew up in was heated only by a wood stove, and we had a perpetual fire going in it, whether anyone was sitting by it or not.

[TyVulpine]

Unless Llewellyn is sleepin close to the fire, and O&M don't want to disturb him?

[Dr. Doog]

plus, it's raining. plus, it looks neater than an empty fireplace.
