I couldn't think of a punchline for today's strip, and then, bam!, According to Jim, the universal punchline, popped into my head. Good times. I also like Telly's lisping of sensitivity.

Good way to start a post, by praising myself. This is clearly why you guys keep coming back for more all the time.

The second term began at the school I teach at yesterday, and some of the kids' programs switched around a bit. Three of my biggest troublemakers all left my fifth-period class, and it was like I was teaching a totally different group of students yesterday. Freaking amazing. Lord, let it remain so. The term change also means that we're on the downward slope, rolling ever toward summer, now. Summer probably seems pretty far off for my one buddy who teaches at another school, though. I don't tell tales of school, um, out of school with my own kids, so I have to make this as vague as possible, but my buddy's a middle-school teacher somewhere in Brooklyn. On Thursday, six of his eighth graders were sitting in the back of class, drinking Hennessey mixed with red wine during class. There's so much wrong with that, I don't know where to begin. 2.0 has a valid question: "What if they're onto something?" In other words, what if Henny and vino is a killer combo? I elect DFFD to try this and report back to us.

2.0 posted this in the links the other day, but I wanted to make sure it got full exposure - this is the lawyer ad from Rochester, and the dude is in full-on crazy mode.

Irish car bomb cupcakes. Oh, man. (Although I tried making a cake with Guinness once, and it was totally inedible. Probably the worst culinary excursion of my life.)

Alright... I think that's all I've got. I'm not sure if I'm a little under the weather or something right now, but it's a bit of a slog this morning. I'll just keep chuggin' the coffee. Have a good one, gang.

No thoughts on national signing day?!?! What has happened to you, Bullfrog?

I'll give that mixture a shot this weekend and report back.

Nothing was signed last I checked. I'm checking on Teo right now.

TEO IS IRISH! WHOOOOOOOO!

I am sure he will be a flop unlike Tom Savage. Gonna be a beast! (Two complete unrelated positions for the record)

Fred Savage?

Just got Scott Pilgrim 5. It is awesome, and I got the awesomest t-shirt ever, also. A very awesome day so far.

Irish really need to pull out of this skid they are in. Right now they look in danger of not making March Madness.
