“No way, Strum und Drang is a German psychiatric term.”

“Man, listen, Strum und Drang literally means in German, storm and stress, but alternately the name is used to describe an 18th century German literary movement that rejected French neoclassicism and predated German Romanticism.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yep.”

“Ugh, hey, look there’s a penny.”

“Where?”

I see that my blogging pal Capitalist Lion Tamer has upped the ante yet again and is now producing funny cartoons (is that the right word CLT?) in his own right and has honored both Alan Truitt and myself with his comedic artistry.  You can see both of them here and here.  I realize that by linking you both in this post I will be sending your Technorati rankings to new heights, but I am happy to do it.  Thanks CLT, you never cease to amaze. 

So, to mark the occasion, I have myself produced a quick portrait of CLT which I think captures his contemplative nature and charm.  Back at you CLT.

A couple walking their dog (the man is speaking as we pass by)

“Ham, ham, or maybe it was beef, no it was probably ham.”

A joke told by one man to another man while standing in line at Starbucks

“I’ll probably screw up the punchline, okay, uh, so a priest, a cowboy, and a rabbi walk into a bar and the bartender looks up at them and says, ‘Get the fuck out here.”  Hahahahahaha.

The other guy smiles and nods his head, “Nice.”

A man talking on his mobile phone in a building lobby

“Right, the unit’s fried, yea, let me talk to James.”

“Jimmy, hey I need you to check and see if we have a Larson Y809.

“09.”

“Oh niner”

“No, the one that comes without the shield collar.”

“Right.”

“That’s bullshit Jimmy, we had at least three left over from 17 North.”

That’s all I could remember.

A conversation I had with my wife last week

“Can you see it”, I asked.  “What is that?”

“I don’t know, looks like a mosquito bite.”

“Mosquito bite?”

“That’s what it looks like.”

“There?”

“What do you want me to say, you do wander around naked quite a bit.”

“That’s not…”

“Sweety, come on, pull your pants up, the carpet people will be here any minute.”

“Oh, right.”
