Garfield Minus Garfield
The cat’s out of the bag. Or out of the comic strip, anyway. If you haven’t been reading Garfield Minus Garfield, go check it out. I never appreciated the original Garfield strip much until now.
“Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.”

Glad It’s a Rental #297
From the Naval Safety Center:
Seems a pair of soldiers were driving a rented SUV at a test and training range out west one night. Seems an F-16 pilot was getting some target practice at the time. Seems the SUV was in the target area. Seems the pilot was a good shot.
A local spokesman said the soldiers were not hit but suffered minor injuries “while exiting the vehicle in rough terrain.” Personally, any minor injuries I suffered while bailing out of a vehicle and running away while being shot at with REALLY big bullets would be a welcome alternative.
The soldiers had been training to identify enemy targets and direct aircraft to fire on them. And to this, all we can say is, “Now you know what it feels like.”
Have you ever seen those little stick-on “bullet hole” decals you can get for your car? This is what the jumbo version would look like. I just wish we had a photo of the expression on the face of the car-rental employee when this one was towed back in.
"Think it's okay to park here?" "Yeah, sure. What could happen?"

Cliff (of the sort one may plunge over)
Man and dog survive cliff plunge
Authorities say a man and his dog survived a 200-foot fall down a remote cliff face in Dorset.
Coast guards say the man’s car went over a cliff near the town of Swanage early Sunday morning.
They say the man was found barely conscious near the crumpled wreckage of his vehicle. The car had crashed onto a large ledge on the cliff face. Both the man’s legs were broken.
Local police believe the man was thrown clear of his vehicle when it fell halfway down the 400-foot cliff.
The coast guards say the man’s dog, a black New Zealand sheepdog named Zin Zan, could not be found at the scene - but the dog later made its own way home and was discovered underneath the kitchen table.
(HT: Metro.co.uk, by way of Drawn Cutlass) As Cutlass points out, the interesting point is the caption, which would lead you to wonder if there are cliffs of the sort over which one might not plunge.
