“It had been a week since Stephen Tucker hitch-hiked his way from Galveston, Texas, to Fort Lauderdale, and the shaggy, toe-headed nomad was tired and ready for his first hot shower in eight days.” — Miami Hurled
Coming next season: Beavis and “Toe-Head.” Perhaps this time the character will be drawn to resemble his name. I have the image of some Gumby variation.

That looks more like a finger than a toe, I think. Anyway I hope the new series is a little easier to understand than the first one.
Sheesh. No wonder you don’t post on Saturdays.
Isn’t there sunshine in your neighborhood yet? Put down the computer and go outside.
I had to see ‘toe-headed’ to believe it.
Love the picture! I’d never seen a toe-head …
My files are stuffed with letters back and forth to the Hurled about the paper’s tragically inept writing and editing. The best they could do was repeat worn excuses about the number of words they publish daily, human error, and pledge to “do better.” I’d tell them — honestly — how I read local papers everywhere I go, and never EVER saw the kinds or numbers of illiteracy I’d find in the Hurled every week.
Nowadays it’s all rather quaint. With rare exception, nobody in journalism gives a rodent’s posterior for the quality of the writing. The embarrassment factor has been eliminated, and professionalism or pride in quality are relegated to unremunerated (and incidental) personal values.
This one stood out as exceptionally putrid, but there are many others every day. Just laugh.
