The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 16, 2018

That’s OK, the rest of you are just diamonds in the rough. Wait a year or two and you’ll shine on your own.

Went on a date with Superman.

Carbon-based lifeforms.

De Beers High School.

Lucy with the guys……….a Diamond!

Old country song, “I’m just an old lump of coal, But I’m gonna be a diamond some day.”

Diamond Girl (old song from back in the 70’s)

Another Transgender attack, if you’re a lump of coal, you could become a diamond with the right procedure. Which restroom?

You’re all getting carat away.

You have no idea how tough she is now.

She may be beautiful, but she’s a bit hardened.

The boy diamonds disavowed that they were attracted to her just for her sparkling physical attributes, they claimed it was because of her multi-facted personality

The coal miner’s daughter.

“Picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies.”

Y’know, if you ogle too much — or too loudly — you might be accused of … well, you know.

♪ ♫ Lucy in the sky with diamonds ♫ ♪

She is a sparkling girl of many facets.

Reminds me of a few girls when we went from the 8th to the 9th grade.

Well, she met Julian and Julian’s dad, and she wound up a star! She’s up on some refrigerator somewhere!

Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Someone make up something clever about Kneel Diamond and Old or Nat King Coal. I can’t manage it.

Those guys are hoping for some carbon dating.

Nothing like peer pressure…
