Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 09, 2023

Wait for it, a recording company will put a copyright strike on this comic.

This was how Keith Moon and Neil Peart got started

There’s this Chinese idiom, “covering your ears and stealing the bell,” meaning you’re not kidding anyone but yourself. A thief tries to smash a rich guy’s bell to steal it piece by piece, but it makes a loud sound when he hits it. Therefore, he plugs his ears so that he can’t hear the sound of the bell, and starts smashing away. Needless to say, everyone else heard that sound and he was busted. Seems applicable in this situation.

Now I know what to give my nephew for Christmas!

Come she told him

Pa rum pum pum pum

Annoying thing it is

Pa rum pum pum pum

His best earmuffs he wears

Pa rum pum pum pum

To save his little ears

Pa rum pum pum pum

As a college student my roommate and I lived for 4 months with a family who had a sweet little six year old girl and three year old boy who was a monster. Monster knew how to suck up to Mumsy and torture everyone else. He pulled hair, slapped, scratched, threw things when he didn’t get his way etc. And yet Mumsy thought he was such an angel. (He was physically beautiful, he looked like a Murillo Christ Child. Maybe that was it.) When we were getting ready to leave, we bought the monster a tin drum. I hope he drove Mumsy nuts.

My father gave my Brother’s son a toy fireman’s helmet with a flashing light and siren, that the kid loved it, but drove his Mother nuts! Next time we visited it was found on top of the refrigerator out of the kid’s reach!

Now if she had said that to Ringo or Keith Moon…….

Charlie Brown doesn’t want to work, he just wants to bang on his drum all day.

Or Buddy Rich or Sandy Nelson.

Ta ti ti Ta ti ti Ta Ta Ta! (IYKYK)

IJBOL!!…

Depends where and when you were conceived……..

Singing sounds better in the shower; drumming sounds better with earmuffs!
