Comic for Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

Posted: 1:45 am, Tuesday, September 19th

Because I'm incredibly immature, this really entertained me.

Pete's line is directly lifted out of what people used to do when Charlie Brown whiffed on the third strike. Just in case anyone mistakingly guessed what I did on the third pitch.

In case of funny spellings, I was basically re-united with one of my lifelong friends today, who has worked in the wholesaling wine business. Alternative read, 'In case none of this makes sense, I'm really drunk.'

Go Virginia!

In basic conversation with Tree yesterday, I calculated that I had spent 2,062 hours mowing the lawn. This was a conservative, but realistic, calculation.

The good thing about having a Republican in office is that our economics are all worked out. (If you click the link, you learn that I am being sacrcastic.) It's totally because they hate our freedom, man.

2.0 watched most of the travesty on Saturday with me, and actually made the comment, “I really don’t like Michigan’s helmets.” This could’ve been pure honesty, or it could’ve been part of an effort to keep me from jumping out the damn window. In either case, it was the best news I heard between the hours of 3:30 and whenever the bleeding stopped. As anyone who’s read this site for two or three days knows, I’m pretty opinionated, and for some friggin’ reason, I dedicate a good chunk of my opinionation toward the extremely unimportant area of sporting uniforms. I’m not nearly as detail-attentive as Paul Lukas, but I try. There’s about five collitch football uniforms I whole-heartedly approve of – Notre Dame, obviously, Penn State, and, uh… Others that I can’t think of right now. Oklahoma’s don’t bother me, and I like Texas when they’re not wearing their all-white togs. Michigan has the elements they need for a good uniform, but their pants are really eye-searing in person. I wasn’t ready for it the first time I saw them live junior year. Also, they’ve gone and let Nike put some stupid-ass piping on the front of their jerseys, which is very unacceptable. Anyway, later in the day, ABC switched to the OU-UO palindrome game, and 2.0 finally got to see the Oregon jerseys in action. She was appalled.

As Uni Watch says,

Speaking of Oregon, they looked, um, really classy in Saturday’s game against Oklahoma.

The helmet passed the 2.0 test – everything else was a nightmare. I happen to agree, and this wasn’t even the worst of the possible combinations.

OK, this is good enough for me.

I am shocked - shocked! - that Rudy Saenez was involved in a game in which the team he was facing hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers in the ninth inning. Shocked.

Whenever the days are dark and the breaks are beating the boys, you can count on omahadomer with some perspective. Honestly, they should get this guy on the coaching staff just 'cause he's awesome.

Let's Go Mets!

I like the Michigan helmets.

Yeah, but you're a tool.

Avast! Ye scurvy dog - did ya really forget to mention that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrg, yur fastball is surely gone.

So a pirate walks into a bar, and the bartender goes, "Holy shit, man, you have a steering wheel attached your crotch!" And the pirate says, "Arr, it be drivin' me nuts!"

Yeah, I listened to the 9th and 10th innings of that Padres-Dodgers game from the Dodger's perspective. I could have sworn I heard Charley Steinner's head exploded after that Nomar homer. (Which reminds me of the joke ESPN radio once did about what would happen if the Yankee's Radio broadcaster ever has a home run call followed by the announcer's head explodes. The explosion and clean-up would have sponsors.)

Please state your message at the "Arrr."

I don't understand why people thought the second half of Pirates of the Caribean 2 sucked. It's a pirate movie. It ain't Mutiny on the Bounty, okay?

A little boy dressed as a pirate is out trick-or-treating on Halloween all alone. At one house a man asks him, "Where are your buccaneers?"

"Arr, that's a silly question, mate. They're on either side of me buccan' head!"

I can't speak as to why people thought that only the second half of Pirates 2 sucked, but I thought the entire thing sucked because it was like nine hours long and assumed that people gave a shit about anyone other than Johnny Depp.

Steiner's in the Dodgers booth these days? I had no idea.

How much is pirate corn?

Buccaneer, arrrrrrrrrr!

Arrr, me mateys, I be lovin' the piratespeak!
