The Turks I know are midget-robots, drug dealers, and outsourcers.
nyu » neu 3 years ago
Are you German?
mortshire » pro 3 years ago
the world may never know.
roastbeet » neu 3 years ago
Not German; I just know strange people. And midget-robots.
gazdatronik » pro 1 years ago
this is the first strip that i realized that lyle had a mustache and is not just constantly smiling.
centipede_damascus » neu 3 years ago
I don't know any Turks, but I know they live in Istanbul and not Constantinople.
suprememongoose » neu 3 years ago
It's true!
closefriend » pro 3 years ago
Oh, shit, I had a date in Constantinople!
centipede_damascus » pro 3 years ago
She's waiting for you in Istanbul.
saint » neu 2 years ago
just pray it's not one of those midget-robots, drug dealers, or outsourcers that roastbeef talked about.

I left my heart in Constantinople.
honesttom » neu 2 years ago
Well, that's really no one's business but theirs.
farqussus » neu 2 years ago
What's the big deal? Old New York used to be New Amsterdam.
orvel » neu 2 years ago
Why'd they change it?
tellumo » pro 2 years ago
I certainly can't say. Perhaps people just liked it better that way.
waddlerz » neu 2 years ago
Byzantium?
griffypoo » neu 6 months ago
If you knew some, you could ask why Constantinople got the works.
bron » pro 3 years ago
He's just saying what we're all feeling.
abe » neu 3 years ago
I have said this to myself.
chaesar » pro 3 years ago
Ahh, the quotable Lyle! The last panel could've been the whole comic, like a Family Circus (gag) and it'd still deserve a 5.
apocowarg » pro 2 years ago
Family Circus is the AIDS virus of the sunday paper bloodstream.
pascal » pro 3 years ago
Yes.
nexus » neu 3 years ago
I think he meant sober as in personality, chums.

It's a nice play on words.
nexus » neu 3 years ago
I have never known a Turk that wasn't sober in his personal life.
ralgnar » neu 3 years ago
I suspect his meaning is based on the historical use of Turk as referring to a member of the Ottoman Empire, one of the major islamic kingdoms of the world from the high middle ages until just after world war one. As islamic sharia law forbids the drinking of alcohol, the empire, like many other islamic states, banned the practice, at least for the muslim majority. Hence the expression: Sober as a Turk.
centipede_damascus » pro 3 years ago
You know too much.
senseihollywood » neu 3 years ago
thank you Cliff Clayven

the age old question... why can't i wake up sauced?
kelsotimebomb » neu 2 years ago
Indeed. One that we all must face.
u235 » neu 2 years ago
You're not drinking enough before you go to bed.
dracer2 » neu 1 years ago
Nobody can wake up sauced. People who say "I think I'm still drunk" in the morning are just chicks who are trying to play down the fact that last night WE TOTALLY GOT DRUNK, HAD SEX.
redjoker » neu 11 months ago
meh i woke up drunk more times than i can count... which isnt saying much... but still... just drink 2 or 3 bottles of vodka and you cant possibly sleep long enough to get sober...
ashbery » neu 1 months ago
Yeah, untrue. Waking up drunk is just like waking up hungover, but with more drinking.

Enjoy these, your salad days.
danjoebak » pro 3 years ago
Now this is one of my classics. More of Lyle's alcoholic take on life would be nice.
f1shst1ck » neu 3 years ago
Are turks known specifically for their sober tendencies?
mashuren » pro 3 years ago
What's up with that clock? Is it some sort of 24-hour clock without a minute hand? If that's the case, then it's wrong.

That clock confuses me.
silver_lake » neu 3 years ago
The significant hand of the clock is pointing to the 7-hour.
tellumo » pro 2 years ago
I think it's exactly 7:37 or sometime around then, so the minute and hour hand are right over each other.
epicurus » pro 3 years ago
I have thought this on at least three occasions and I think this is marketable.
tinhand » neu 3 years ago
Excellent There Might Be Giants reference there fellows.
Personally, I long to live such a lifestyle where the only responsibilities and problems seem to be related to getting drunk. He has no bills to pay, prison-time to serve or jobs to hunt for, apparently. Does he even pay for his gin? Only Onstad knows.
Then again it's an early strip. I recall Lyle looking for a job in a later strip.
spectre » neu 3 years ago
Lyle's blog is almost all about work and getting money one way or another.
hawaiian_robot » neu 1 years ago
And getting fired from various hospitality jobs, or starring in gonzo videos, or fucking post-op trannies.
philosophe » pro 3 years ago
I have woken up still buzzed from the night before, drank a few cold ones, fell back asleep, and then woken up drunk. It's pretty good. I've also woken up early, dropped a couple acid tabs, set my alarm for 2 hours later, and woke up tripping. THAT was interesting.
tellumo » pro 2 years ago
I know the "excellent icon-comment synergy, dude" comment is hella overplayed, but dude, excellent icon-comment synergy.
straw » pro 3 years ago
This is how I feel most days.
greymantledwolf » pro 3 years ago
my daily lament.
hyetal » pro 2 years ago
Seven AM and sober as a Turk; ten AM and drunk as a lord. What happens at one?
molesticide » neu 2 years ago
you are not afraid of the motherfucking police.
jlynes » neu 2 years ago
One PM, out like a light.
zebra » neu 2 years ago
This was my first strip and the reason I like Lyle so much.
snowman » neu 2 years ago
Classic. I love that I actually feel sorry for Lyle's predicament here. Masterful.
jjg » pro 2 years ago
Simple solution, get an IV and fill it with Jack. Sorted
satellitetv » neu 2 years ago
My head-of-department is a Turk, and is responsible for the dry campus with which I have struggled.
littlefatdog » pro 2 years ago
Replace "gin" with "lasagna" to make an odd but basically typical Garfield strip

Remove Garfield for a decent comic.

It's a window into humanty's own soul...

Oh wait, it's just a window.

A shoe is an item of cscs exam footwear evolved at first to protect the human foot and later, additionally, as an item of decoration in itself. The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body, and has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in relation to vastly varied terrain and climatic conditions. Together with the proprioceptive system, it is cset exam what makes balance and ambulation possible.

Until recent years, shoes were not fcat exam worn by most of the world's population%u2014largely because they could not afford them. Only with the advent of mass production, making available for the first time the cheap flip-flop-type sandal, for example, has shoe-wearing ftce exam become predominant.
