* As if the content of Poo...Some further notes:<br /><br />* As if the content of Poo's Weekly Reader weren't offensive enough, when each issue was "published", we would pretend to be a pair of mental retards who eagerly awaited the copy in the mail. (We gave them names but I don't remember what they were; they might have been "Thim" and "Thimina" ) We would do the quizzes on the back in the guise of these mentally impaired characters, which is why the answers were always wrong.<br /><br />* The Topsy Turvy Kids may have usually avoided fart jokes, but I distinctly remember one strip which featured a kid farting directly in the face of an old man sitting on a park bench. The delinquent made a statement like "Smell my fart, geezer" (which I'm willing to bet was rendered, "Smell my fart, geyser.") Interesting that this strip also features "gyesers." I sometimes imagine that the 1980s saw a fad of teenagers farting directly into the faces of helpless senior citizens, but through the brave efforts of the Weekly Reader this particular crime wave was finally abated.<br /><br />* The current Olympic games are now ruined for me because I know I will never get a chance to see the Synchronized Who Can Pee the Farthest event.Paul L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11178872278117501101noreply@blogger.com
