I was actually thinking that (since the cover of the original is a picture of you, given what I now refer to as the Tre treatment), the cover of the remix album could be a picture of me given a similar treatment, but in purple instead of green (as purple is the opposite of green)
if you'd be okay with that.
I'm fine with it! I like it.
The single covers could also get similar purple layers.
(also, do you think we should release the remix album on the Skullboy Bandcamp or on yours?)
I want to go to the pizza shop and get those little voodoo doll necklaces out of the gumball machine.
I can't imagine those sorts lasting there long...
Neither can I.
I absolutely pity the ones who think they're going to get away with "just being a cook or something" and having the military pay for their education....
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
To be perfectly honest, I think I'm a bit too sensitive to have any successful career in the military, even in a non-combat position. The fact that I am a 260-pound (albeit slowly but steadily getting slimmer), somewhat sedentary nerd doesn't help matters much.
I think it was more that I felt I needed the discipline, and that it would give my life a purpose of sorts. It might have done me some good, I don't know.
I don't think I'd have been a good fit for it, all the same.

Yay for unnecessary capitalization!
Make way for the next great superhero, Kenton Man, with the power of Heroin!

I never thought I'd be fit for the military either. I grew up with an abusive father who smacked me around for not acting tough enough among other things. Then one day I decided to do it, and not only was I going to do so, I was going to go the hardest route possible so I chose the USMC.
Now I'm out in the world, going to school, richer in every way and smarter for it. Those folks in are just the same as you and me, in fact, they have a lot in common with here. My drill instructors not only found my webcomic, they liked it. And posted it all over the company back at the recruit depot. I'm not making this up.

People have told me this before, but I think the key difference is that rather than simply being "a wimp", I'm actively averse to violence in general.
And sure, I believe that they liked your comic. But there's also not a guarantee I'd get a unit that good, I might get a shit one, y'know.
I actually have a friend named Tom who's going into the marines, and I have to say that he's pretty much the only person entering the military from my grad class that I'd actually trust with a gun. He's prone to dark humor, but that's about it.

So apparently my problems with skippy, choppy playback from PulseAudio are caused by high CPU load. Which is why it happens only intermittently, as when I'm running a YouTube video in Flash Player.
Well, the good news is for most people the Marines kills any love for guns they might have while going in.
Tom is the only one going into the Marines. The rest are going into some other branch.
The only other one who sticks out in my mind is the one who's convinced he's going to be in charge of an artillery unit even though he doesn't know geometry. Which is a bit important with artillery, am I wrong?

To enlist into that specialty? No. They're going to teach him the geometry stuff after boot camp, and if he can't cut the mustard, he'll be drop to a less mentally challenging MOS. Like infantry. (Which is not to say that infantry grunts are dumb, one of the kids in my company who went infantry was a 17 year old with his Master's in Chemistry.)
For enlisted, everything is broken down for the lowest common denominator and it's pretty damn low. They even teach you how to brush your teeth because kids going in don't even know how to do that. For officers, it's way different. If he showed up looking for a commission as an artillery officer and didn't even know pythagoream's theorem, he'd be told to take his shit and leave (literally)

Yeah.
I try to avoid being judgmental about that kind of thing but....yeesh.

Bets are that he won't last, if he makes it through screening at MEPS. The mental cases don't last too long. Also the loudest mouths usually get cut first in boot camp. My platoon was at 30% from our original size from day 1 at our graduation.

In hindsight I'm not really sure what I was thinking. My parents were very against it.
The Skullboy Bandcamp, it's a joint project.
Almost half of my graduating class wants to join the military. :/
Most of the reasoning amounts to "cuz I gets to SHEWT PEOPLE", though fortunately not all of them think like that.
I say this in all seriousness.
I need like
five bucks in quarters

It certainly wasn't that.

I suppose that's a good thing.
Don't want any Emiles in the squadron.
Jeez I found my old mashup of "Organ Donor" and "No Jumper Cables"
this is from 2009? Christ.
