Comic for Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Posted: 7:21 am, Wednesday, October 11th

I’m putting this up not to be a jerk and rub the Kitties’ blitzing of the Goat Fuckers (while the Sox swept the World Series of Darfur, mind you) in anyone’s face (Reggie Ho), but because one of my buddies at the office didn’t see Leyland’s sublime celebration in which he goes over to kiss a woman who I’m assuming is his wife, and then a random dude also hits skip up for a peck. Leyland, buzzing like mad from the pack and a half he’d already smoked that day, obliges. By the way, what the fuck is wrong with ballplayers that they still chew tobacco? God, that’s the most disgusting habit. The only thing worse would be if they all shared a needle in the dugout or something.

I am quite psyched about the upcoming release of the new Rockstar game, Bully. If it’s even half as well-written as San Andreas, I think we’re in for something good here. (Honestly, the radio scripts from San Andreas are freaking brilliant.) On a vaguely related note, 2.0 and I finished going through Freaks and Geeks over the weekend, and I have to say, that was a brilliant show. The last episode was excellent despite being basically a jambalaya of unused plot threads.

Whenever I note 10-cent Freeze Pops doing their thing with old SIs, I’m probably going to link to it. My favorite is his take on the ad toward the back for the Tyson-Holyfield fight.

Stuff I meant to put up on either of the last two days: QuizLaw’s takedown of the rockingly awesome Military Commissions Act of 2006. Wait, no, my notes are kind of garbled here. That should’ve read “fucktardedly soulless,” not “rockingly awesome.” Carry on.

Lost is on tonight, whoo! For some reason, I find this picture of Kate from the (red carpet?) premiere of season 3 really charming.

Dear Lord, the Seminoles are really getting fired up to play Boston Collitch and cash in on their awful jerseys. “Trust Me I’m a Nole”? What the hell does that even mean? Nice to see someone’s marketing department put in more overtime than ND’s in cranking out stupid-ass shirts. (I mentioned this briefly last week, but don’t miss the stupid effing sleeves they’re wearing for this game.)

Alright, that's all for now. Have fun watching Lost tonight, squad.

No one is watching Lost tonight! Everyone who's anyone will be watching the game, of course!

Also: I like the Apple girl and the monkey wrench she might throw into Jen's life...

Your link to the Bully game is going to the Tigers-Yankees vid on YouTube, FYI.

D'oh! I wasn't kidding yesterday when I mentioned the lack of QC on this site.

Ever notice there's like 15 to 20 t-shirt companies in a college town where there maybe half of that in non-college town? It was at Columbia, MO. I think that's why you get these really lame gameday t-shirt themes. (I don't recall seeing anything like that at Missouri, but that's because they had gameday pins that were equally as lame.)

I'm surprised that Jen and Anti-Jen aren't causing the room to explode.

They haven't come into contact yet, but you've probably just given Pete a joke to crack at some point.

Sadly, ND's horror shows are actually from national companies, and I think these Black Out disasters are, too. The local shops usually just get dorm/frat business.

According to the Small Talk section of the industry newsletter that I try to read daily:

ON THIS DAY: In 1965 the Red Baron made his first appearance in the "Peanuts" comic strip.

Bite me.

By "industry" above, I meant employee benefits, not comics.

Sadly.

Dude, if you were in the comics industry all this time and never mentioned it 'til now, there'd be words.

Been meaning to say this for a while - it's kind of a relief seeing subway ads for the marathon and knowing that I don't have to run it.

Yikes, evidently a helicopter just crashed into a building up in the East 70s.

C'est trouis bien. Nice, i mean. Thanks!

Spam, or French admirer? I'm leaning toward spam.

Wait, fucking Corey Lidle was driving the plane?! This is bizarre.

(That was an expression of disbelief, as in, "Fucking Godzilla's attacking?!" and not disdain, as in, "Fucking Michigan sucks so much ass," just to clarify. I hate the Yankees and all, but I don't *actually* want them to die.)

Something tells me the Lidle crash was not exactly the way Steinbrenner (probably misspelled) wanted to keep the Yankees in the forefront of the MLB.

How come they haven't designated corridors for small personal airplanes to safely fly instead of letting them fly anywhere through New York? I know there's an altitude that small planes can fly over New York, but still, you'd think the last thing they'd want is to have something like this that would even give a pause to recall 9/11.

I would assume that Lidle was nowhere where near he was supposed to be flying, although passenger jets are still allowed to fly over Manhattan (taking off from LaGuardia, you can sometimes get a beautiful view of the island from just north of Central Park looking all the way down to Wall Street - it's crazy).

But, yeah, sheesh. Lidle. Wow.

I stand corrected - he seems not to have violated any airspace regs.

Back to just saying, "Wow, Lidle. Huh."

Huh. I was going to ignore that above spam, but, that last line... Naked LATIN men, you say? Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. 8)

Personally, I adore Mac Girl! Come on, poor Ron's been screwed over enough. Stop messing with your poor characters. 8)

Thanks for the strip! -Kerry
