Now had you started your comment with.."With my vast knowledge of hookers"....that would of played out differently.<br />I suspect you're right about not carry large sums of money on one's person during hooker engagments but none-the-less, I would bet if any prostitutes are reading this...you've gone and insulted them. <br />Seriously...that is terrible about your wife's friend's boyfriend. While, clearly, that wasn't a wise move to get out of a car with a baseball bat, no one should die over a road rage incident.

He was being a tough guy during a road rage situation, got out of his car and started going toward the other car with some kind of baseball bat, and the other guy pulled out a gun and shot him.<br /><br /><br />This is why I don't even make eye contact with other drivers.

Sadly, that's year-round since to get anywhere from there, if they're coming from the eastern part of the state, they've got to drive through our little corner of paradise.

I don't know why I didn't think of it when I used that cartoon the first time. Which leads me to your other observation which is also, spot on. When I first started drawing Cherastotle, I wasn't planning on using her as a philosopher. I was planning on using her as a Greek Goddess and was going more for a Greek gown instead of a toga. At some point I needed a philospher to spout some sage advice and swiped my Goddess sketch and removed some jewelry and other adornments. <br />As for MA drivers being Massholes....that is hilarious. I have never heard that. What a riot (unless your on the road with them and maybe then not so funny) Maybe all the bad drivers in Chicago and Dallas are also from MA.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-40398020514748485232013-10-05T14:10:15.982-05:002013-10-05T14:10:15.982-05:00I like it here!

I started to call her gown a toga but reconsidered because it's so much more detailed and elegant than a draped sheet. I figured it was a difficult draw. I can't even draw a straight line or anything resembling a circle so I'm always impressed with people can do with pencil and paper.<br /><br /><br />I don't know if southern New Englanders use this expression but everyone who lives north of the border call MA drivers Massholes. Most of us even believe that we can spot a native Masshole by their driving even if they've moved north and have NH, ME, or VT tags. Yes, they are THAT bad. Back in the 90s, the DMV ran a program through their records and found that drivers with the worst records were originally from Massachusetts. It ain't the locals making California look bad. ;-)Cherylhttp://decksidethoughts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-18832866602562350202013-10-05T10:19:43.577-05:002013-10-05T10:19:43.577-05:00I wasn't offering up a medical condition as a ...I wasn't offering up a medical condition as a reason for any of his bad behavior.

When I first...I am so glad you enjoyed Cherastotle. When I first used her a couple of years ago, I think I called her Cherocrates. Don't we have quite the versatile name to play around with. Funny about that gown. You would think a toga would be easy compared to other outfits but getting shading when you are drawing white clothing onto a white background isn't as easy as one would think. I am glad someone out there likes it. <br /><br /><br /><br />That would be ironic if he was a shrink. None of the reports said exactly what he did but as they referred to him as the "prison's doctor", I am assuming his is a GP. <br /><br /><br />He makes most drivers look good in comparison. Does Massachusetts have crazy drivers? I usually hear people talk about Texas and California and not the whole state of Illinois but Chicago drivers...scary as hell.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740338215172190519.post-83654390241849115972013-10-05T08:16:38.802-05:002013-10-05T08:16:38.802-05:00Still laughing about the turd conviction.
