“Lard, ho! Tis a good sign, Homer’s unfastened the top button on his pants.” – Captain McAllister “Uh, no, he’s been walking around like that since Thanksgiving.” – Akira “I’m surprised he just doesn’t give it up and go for sweatpants.” – Captain McAllister “He says the crotch wears out too fast.” – Akira “Yargh, that’s gonna replace the whale in my nightmares.”- Captain McAllister.

Watched the "Honey Badger Doesn't Give a Fuck" video a little bit ago.
For whatever reason, I thought it was someone who sounded like Scruffy from Futurama narrating the whole thing, when it fact it was the exact opposite.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I got a few more pictures of the some of the aftermath of yesterday's storm.
Update to PoMT coming up as soon as I get them off the camera.
Imi: That reminds me of a cheesy-looking trailer I saw once. It was about a pack of piranhas imprisoned at the bottom of a lake for millions of years being released and presumably nomming on the local swimmers.
Yeah, I think I saw that trailer.
That's Piranha 3D, I believe, which got a special TV version called Piranha 3DD. No, I'm not making that bit up.
I saw the one for Piranha 3DD as well. It had what I wanted.
Anyone I know who read Catcher in the Rye in a high school setting only focuses on how Holden "acts like an emo kid." So yes, but they may not be getting the entire point of the novel.

I always thought the point of the novel was to give a negative example in the form of Holden, I mean it was pretty obvious to me, maybe not.
He's unlikable, an insufferable elitist who hates everyone around him, and just generally an ass. He only starts to even sort of get better toward the end of the book.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Super Lazuli: Wiley is a first-class jackass. Recipient of the Order of Complete, Uppity Dicks.
A few years ago Scott Kurtz (PvP Online) applied to the national cartoonist society or whatever the hell they call themselves, which was (and maybe still is, I dunno) run by someone who isn't a cartoonist, Ted Rall. Anyway, to make a long story short said "society" really showed their collective asses by demanding of Scott to prove that his webcomic was popular, to show off his W-4 tax forms, and to prove that he had paid assistants on staff. They made fun of Scott over his application and kept cracking jokes about how the only profits webcomics make are from shitty t-shirt sales. Not making this shit up. Wiley was right along with all of this, running his stupid fucking mouth the loudest. In fact, Wiley even made a sunday edition of Non Sequitor making fun of Scott directly for him daring to think he could join their mighty society.
Anyway this got the attention of Scott's friends Gabe of PA who went over there to join in this discussion, and they tried to grill and hack on him the same way, demanding to prove how PA even has an audience. Gabe simply pointed out PAX and asked any of them if they have a convention where hundreds of thousands of people along with an entire industry show up to.
That had to be one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen. Also their idiotic "Cartoonists Society" never, ever extended an invitation to (or even acknowledged) Berkeley Breathed and Bloom County -- entirely out of jealous spite -- which makes me love Bloom County all the more.

There's a lesson here, but I don't know what it is.
"People can be total asses over anything"? I think that might be it.

The house is still very hot, though, so we're out eating dinner; in fact, we just finished eating.
Being a responsible brother who must curb his crazed siblings is hard. It's hard and no one understands.
the play's the thing
where we'll catch the conscience of the king
CF you have odd friends.
But hey at least none of them are Ron Paul supporters HUGE SLAM ON RON PAUL FANS OUT OF NOWHERE
no but I really don't have a problem with them as a whole, just a few in particular.
I like the ones who think Jesse Ventura is a trustable news source, and that FEMA is secretly creating camps to round us all up in.
Y'know.
For lulz.
YOU DON'T MESS WITH.

that's supposed to be the author up top in the superhero outfit, if you didn't get that.
This is a print comic by the way, showing that the whole "I'mma preach nao" mentality isn't limited to webcomics.
Fuck you, Dr. Wiley.
I seriously have to wonder how self-deluded one has to be to think of themselves as some sort of savior to the ignorant masses.
Is Catcher in the Rye not required reading material in schools anymore?
I dunno, maybe I'm just too lenient about this sort of thing.

I really don't know what you mean. :|I mean, I see it every week, it occasionally makes me chuckle, but it's not something I invest mental effort into evaluating.
What on earth are they shooting at?!?!?!?!?! ~ Top-rated comment.
Made me lol.
I'd never heard of it til today, I just think that that particular strip at the very least is incredibly silly.

Bill Watterson seems to just kind of hate everybody, as I understand it.
In any case I'm sure there are plenty of decent people who draw newspaper strips, but yeesh.
(this is my favorite metaphor for that kinda stuff)
Also apparently quite a few NASCAR drivers think that other sports are for pussies.
I find this hilarious for some reason.
*shrug*
My dad used to work for them (as a mechanic though I am not quite sure what *kind* of mechanic, as he's told me he wasn't part of a pit crew).
I generally find the commentators more amusing than the sport itself, since they tend to make things hilariously overdramatic.
