Comic for Tuesday, Nov 9, 2004
Posted: 8:57 am, Tuesday, November 9, 2004 Yeah, the last two panels don't necessarily work, but I felt the need to show the layout of Ron's apartment, and I couldn't really come up with another way. Of course, it still isn't toally clear that that's his desk in the bottom left, since I've yet to do a strip where he's sitting at his desk, and I guess it's not easy to guess that that's a cheap-ass Oriental rug on the floor. To those of you who know me and visited while I was in what Grafe called the hobbit-hole and what I called the basement, Ron's apartment is exactly what mine was at that time. Right down to the eagle on top of the wardrobe, that I made back in 8th grade home ec class. I got an A on it. It's a friggin' awesome eagle. That's a copy of Maxim lying on the floor, by the way. By the way, despite all appearances to the contrary, I swear that Ron is not me, exactly. I have little evidence to back this up, but, trust me, he's not. I got another Christmas gift for someone yesterday! I still can't discuss this, but, oh boy, Christmas. By the way, that traitor E went and got herself an eggnog latte over the weekend. She is dead to me. Except that she also sent a bunch of articles about moving out of the country, so I guess she's not dead to me. Lucky for you, E, that you have even more time at work to look at the web than I do. So, what all did E send? A roundup of overseas papers on the election (amazingly, Murdoch-owned papers are happy, and the whole rest of the planet is more than a tad concerned), a handy guide to getting to Canada, and some other stuff that may help me with my Christmas shopping, so I'm not showing it here. But, also, two text forwards:
Sounds good to me. Maybe one of the pretzels will start the job its forebearer started, much like asshat was obsessed with Saddam. (By the way, does anyone watch Arrested Development? That Saddam stuff is hilarious!) E also told me that Robert E. Lee apparently owned all of the property that Arlington Cemetery is built on, and that,
I like that Arlington is there because of spite. That is hilarious. By the way, how much less funny is Kirk Cameron now that the president of the United States may have a site exactly like it in six years or so? Ugh! Finally made an addition to the Museum, although not as grand a one as I had planned. Still, here are three dopey/cool things I saw on 24th Street on Friday. I think I ran something like this in September or October, although it included money in addition to IQ. Crownover wanted me to post this, so, here are state-by-state voting results and IQ test scores. The Irish are ranked 24 in the AP again. I can't figure this friggin' team out. Oh, geez, and 25th in the BCS standings. That's just super. Go Irish. Or something. Here are ESPN, CNNSI, Sportsline, and CFN on where the squad might be going for a bowl, now that they're eligible. The general consensus is that the Irish will go to either the Insight Bowl or the Gator Bowl, with an outside shot at the Cotton Bowl if we can somehow knock of USC over Thanksgiving weekend. Frankly, nothing would be funnier than BC having beaten us at home, and us getting the Gator Bowl over them because of the agreement we have penned with the Big East. Fuck you, Boston Collitch. Fuck you and die. By the way, ESPN's is also worth checking out because they list the corporate sponsors, some of which include Gaylord Hotels and Champs Sports this year. Can you imagine a collitch football player walking around with a jacket that says Gaylord Hotels on it? Does Bush know about this hotel chain? Funny (from IMDB): National Lampoon's Van Wilder actress Tara Reid is fed-up with her reputation for being a "retard" and cites friend Paris Hilton as her role model for overcoming her party girl image. The American Pie star, 28, is keen to outgrow her controversial persona and be taken more seriously in Hollywood. Reid says, "I am known as this retard. I want to grow up. I don't want to be the drunk girl. It hurts my feelings when stuff is written about me. Paris seems to move on from situations all the time, why can't I?" We're a mere 12 days from the Third Annual Thanksgiving-ish, by the way. Every year, I have a big Thanksgiving dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving for my friends here in New York - it started because I had a bunch of friends who couldn't make it home for turkey, and because I always wanted a nice sitcom Thanksgiving, with just friends and no pesky family to bother me. Now, it's continuing because .. well, just because. I have a strange unstated psuedo-policy against putting pictures of me and my friends on-line, so I can't promise pictures, but I can promise that, in addition to the Christmas gift thing, I won't shut up about it all of next week. Why I got the ball rolling by mentioning it today, I can't say. But here's the invite, in case you want to see it.
Just found this quote from Roger Clemens: "I think it's their year, it's been 90 years and I hope they lock this one down...All my friends from up north are calling me. They'll be happy for a day anyway, but they're not going to have anything to complain about anymore. You might see a smile for about a week in Boston and then they'll go back to being miserable." Seriously, Rog, can you not be a dick for like ten minutes? This link has me incredibly excited. Or is it eggcited? bullfrog |
