A Little TGIF Fun
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

G'Day All --

Item 1:  Cool Film Clip !!

Item 2:  Invitation -- Share Your Pick for "Best Editorial Cartoon of the Week" with Your Co-Subscribers.

The details:

In the "Morning Coffee & Muffin" Section of The Civic Action Free University's News and Media Center:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/tcafunewscenter.htm#Coffee

... you have undoubtedly seen a link to:  "Some of the Most Creative Recent Editorial Cartoons."  That site can be accessed directly, at:

http://www.cagle.com/

At your convenience, try taking a few minutes to surf through the weekly cartoons, and share your pick for "Best of the Week" with the rest of us.

Identifying the cartoon you've selected is quite simple -- all you need to do is copy the web address of the page on which it appears, and indicate the cartoon by its caption.

Or, if you want to be more specific, select the cartoon you like by right-clicking on its image, and then clicking on:  "Copy Image Location."  This image web address (i.e., the cartoon's URL) can then be posted, and should take viewers directly to the cartoon you've selected.

Feel free to include any comments you would like to make about the one(s) you've chosen.

This activity should be interesting and fun.  If you have friends or associates who might like to participate, please pass the information along to them.

Happy Oktoberfest !!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

G'Day All --

As you probably know, in Germany Oktoberfest is now celebrated during September, in order to increase the likelihood of favorable weather.  So the greeting provided below -- coming to you in October -- is a little late.

Nevertheless, I hope you'll enjoy it.  I try to include quite a few "bells and whistles" on pages like this, so visitors willing to take a little time will encounter a number of pleasant treats.

Be sure to explore "Kilroy's Oktoberfest Kaleidoscope -- Celebrating the Twelve Kegs of Oktoberfest," on the big yellow panel about halfway down the page.

In case you happen to notice, I confess to having "recycled" a few images from Saint Patrick's Day:  (a) because I kind of like them,  and (b) because both festivals celebrate -- in different ways -- some of the same things.  If the duplications strike you as unacceptable, you are excused from any responsibility to look at them.

Have a good time !!

Happy Oktoberfest !!
