Comic for Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I jammed the hell out of my thumb playing softball last night, so it hurts like a mofo to type. Actually, I seem to have already compensated by just not using my thumb. I figured repetitive motion syndrome wouldn't allow that. Huh, look at me adapt. I am truly a god among men. Anyway, my company got off to a good start - much better than those whacky Red Sox - beating A&E 15-7. It should be noted that this is not actually very impressive. A&E fielded only eight, meaning that there were huge gaps in the outfield that we, being sporting and also of limited ability, chose not to exploit, and also that they received an automatic out each trip through the lineup. Our league rules really encourage kicking a man when he's down, evidently. At any rate, wheee! Softball! (By the way, my dollar is in extreme jeopardy to Tree.)

I just noticed that the girls are really kind of disproportionately small in this strip. Oh well.

A little overly stylized for my taste, but, yeesh, you have to marvel at the effort that went into this Zelda art.

I had so many things I meant to complain about and now I can't think of any of them.

The SB Trib had a Joey Getherall sighting. Five feet, seven inches of pure gristle, that guy.

Huh! The EPA *does* have the power to protect the environment?! No way! Thank Christ for this. God. If I were Harvard and Yale, I would be so effing ashamed to have "educated" that guy.

The Tuesday Morning QB wrote a great piece on some astoundingly wasteful Pentagon spending over at Slate. It was up yesterday, but seems to have just been moved up to a prime position today. Basically, the Pentagon is buying new toys it doesn't need. I know, the last two items have been just shocking, huh?

You can find out how chemistry has changed our lives, right here, by the way.

A-a-a-a-a-a-and anyway. That's it for me.

I'm surprised that the pols are still pulling shit like this and thinking that they can get away with it.

And McCain didn't raise much money in the first quarter (less than Mitt Romney and Giuliani), so he's not doing so well in so many ways.

Why doesn't Joey Getherall in the LAPD surprise me at all? I hope they appreciate one of the hardest working players I've ever seen at ND. He out Rudys Rudy's 5 feet nothing, one hundred nothing pounds.

I got six of ten, but not because of any knowledge of the subject.

Sad to admit, I got 8 out of 10, and somehow got G-N-R wrong (I only saw four people, Slash was hiding).

Growing up the the Chicago 'Burbs I was either listening to hair metal, or gangsta rap.

Strange days, indeed, most peculiar momma!

10/10.

Can't say I'm proud of that.

5/10

I'm shocked!
