FYI:  growing up we had mail and newspaper delivery Mon-Sat.  Sunday picked up the paper after church post office in town.  The comics were in color on Sunday.   There were 4 of us in the back seat of that Ford Galaxy fighting to be first, there were not 4 sections only 2 (note: sometimes the fight resulted in 4 sections) However plenty of time for all to read on that 14 mile drive home.  Now can you imagine that 14 mile drive if the guy writing the 'funnies' had decided to sleep in till Monday? 

Once is maybe forgivable but twice!

I realize we usually talk about Jombo on here but it being Sunday and Monday follows Sunday, does Hobbes have anything to say about Rameses?  Maybe a special MMCS?

Your language confuses me, for I only pretend to be smart. What you see of me on the boards is (1) stealing from other people, and (2) artificial intelligence. So, with my limited means, I will try to parse your questions:

 

1. Monday is big in ILLINI world because of the dual tomorrow with UNC. 

2. UNC has Tony Ramos on staff. 

3. Ramos, or this Rameses that you speak of, "crossed the mat" to join Iowa, then crossed the mat to join UNC. 

4. MMCS stands for "Multi-Media Computing and Systems."

5. Ergo, Tony Ramos is a holographic cyborg with Artificial Intelligence who will cross the mat to join the ILLINI tomorrow?

CLASSIC JOMBO™ 

 

The price paid for each of the three JOMBO™ strip NFTs shown below was $0. The combined current value of the three NFTs is $0. That is a loss of exactly $0 on your investment. 

Bored Ape Yacht Club #599 shown below, lower right, sold for over $225,000.00. The owner was (and maybe still is) Jimmy Fallon. These NFTs lost ~90% of their value. That is a loss of approximately $202,500.00. 

You were the smart investors.

This classic Matt & Hobbes comic strip comes with a story.

We included it in a preview of an upcoming ILLINI/Northwestern dual that would take place on January 29, 2022. Little did we know, enemy spies were lurking. 

[ILLINIWrestlingBlog]

The ILLINI lost the dual to the Army of the Northwest on a cold January 29, 2022 day by the score of 13 to 26. Shortly after the defeat, the following message was sent:

We obviously hate Northwestern. I mean, come on! But signing that tweet Col. Storniolo was very cool. Some of the responses to the Colonel's tweet rubbed it in some more:
