Comic for Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Posted: 6:31 am, Wednesday, October 7

I stopped drawing the little stars and all, but it should go without saying that Lissa is quite drunk by this point.

Is it already time for the playoffs? Let's go, Twins! Make Craig Finn and the boys happy.

I'm in the middle of this incredibly long article on Garth Brooks at the AV Club, and I'm finding it fascinating. I don't give enough of a shit about contemporary country music to have known any of this ahead of time, but evidently Brooks has an advertising degree and is basically a corporate, calculating construct (ALLITERATION FUCK YEAH). I really had no idea on that one. Also, it's nice to have the Chris Gaines thing explained to me.

Miyaa put this up about steamed scrambled eggs, and I'm fairly certain that's how they make 2.0's egg and cheese at Connecticut Muffin on the weekends.

My last class of juniors yesterday were awful, and I'm being observed by my college observer today during their period. Pray for Omarion.

Speaking of the kids, I think I need to get back to plannin'. God, I'm so tired. This is brutal. The funniest thing is how much better this year is going than last. Last year must've been a mess.

Bullfrog -- Wednesday, October 7 2009, 07:49 am

Seventeen points to anyone who can tell me why Google's logo is a barcode today.

The Minnesota Twins, the little team that could! Now, to take the series after going 0-7 in the regular season against the Yankees and send the Hubert Horatio Humphrey Metrodome out in style!

Good luck today, Bullfrog. May the mythical spirit of Bunny Colvin be with you!

The third year teaching you hit a stride, if that helps at all. And I'll say a little prayer for your last period today.

Jen in the 4th panel reminds me of Lucy from Peanuts.

If you hover over any of google's special logos, the pop-up gives you the reason, and clicking on it takes you to information about it. This one is simple, it's the anniversary of the patenting of the barcode 57 years ago.

And when I saw the steamed scrambled eggs blog I posted yesterday, I thought, now I have a reason to get Mom that espresso maker for Christmas. Mom's not a real big fan of coffee, but damn does she love cappuccino. Actually, we both love Vietnamese ice coffee, probably because it's sweeter than a sugar-free candy bar.

Seventeen points to Gunnar!

Ten to MNP for getting the allusion!

Today's lesson has gone great with periods 2, 3 and 4. Let's see if period 6 crashes and burns, or gets donuts next week.

Nice comic - was not expecting the dialoague in that 4th panel and the Peanuts allusion was quite funny. Gave me a chuckle. Man I hate work.

Steamed scrambled eggs?! Really?!? There's something disturbing about that.

if someone said this already, sorry. My reference class has got me into this question answering thing.

It's the 57th anniversary of the bar code. Better question: Who cares?

Steamed eggs. Yes they do steam them at CM...and they are yummy. And healthier since there's no added fat.

I too knew about mousing over the logo, and I also immediately thought of Peanuts.

I demand my 27 points. (You can keep the PAT on the final TD, Tausch probably missed it anyway.)

Shit, I have to give you 27 points, because I'm a chucklehead and didn't say "the first one" who tells me about the bar code. Imprecision of language bites again!

They say showing is better than telling, but when telling one thing is a way of showing another, what the hell.

I knew how to click on the Google logo, and the Peanuts thing was a duh, so I get 27 points too? What do we get with these points? You'll have a catalog in a few months, right? I might want a new microwave.

Is it lemons or limes with tequila? That I don't remember is significant. I am certain that the salt only makes it taste more awful. Ah, memories.

I'll trade in my 27 points for more mockery of the heinous items in the ND catalog. Those posts were fantastic. (or failing that more ND football talk in general)

Hmm...mockery seems better than three hours watching Missouri and Nebraska in down-pouring rain that makes people wonder if there is an ark near by.
