This is the best thing you have written that I have read-I have extended family in Ukraine and I still laughed!

You spelled “linchpin” correctly. You had my vote right there. Let’s Go, Vlad!!

It's been a while since I've thrown one of my enemies into a vat of battery acid but I thought sulfuric acid was battery acid. I bet someone tried to tell Putin this and discovered the answer personally.

It depends on what your goals are. If you want them to die slowly, go battery acid. For no fuss, no muss, easy cleanup, sulfuric is the way to go.

Truth be told, I chose battery acid as a nod to Scharpling and Wurster's classic "Hippie Johnny" bit: https://youtu.be/8wwDRjlXYzI

"You can tell a lot about a woman by the way she scrubs a caldron". I almost fell in the floor laughing at that part. I've never heard of Hippie Johnny. That is so good. That's probably the third thing you've linked to on this substack that I've never heard of that cracked me up. Also, farm fresh battery acid is definitely the way to go.

Borscht is the ultimate superfood! I hear the Red Cross are making vats of it in Poland to feed the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees I sent there!

My friend, you've been busy! My breakfast nook wall is spattered because I was having coffee while reading. Tou-frickin-ché!

Shouldn't this post on Friday?

I'm still deciding what the rules are about what gets posted when; for today, I thought I'd do a guest column two-pack.

Yeah I was thinking April 1 but that's a holiday for amateur comics. You do you!
