Look at the Time (...BOO!)

Sorry for scaring you with that title, there. The blogosphere can be a startling place sometimes. I actually almost missed putting up a post today because I lost track of the time. Never fear, though, as I am here. I have nothing to report. It has been an extremely slow news day, and I certainly didn't do anything worthy of note today.

For a couple of hours I got caught up on my back issues of Discover, but then got somewhat bored with it. I get it, I need to go green. Shut up. On a mildly amusing side note, one of their articles is already out-of-date, as it claimed that no telescope currently exists which could directly observe an extrasolar planet. As shown by the two images released on Friday, clearly this is not the case. You need to realign your telescrewed to better focus on Alfail Centauri (wow, that was definitely deserves a zing!).

Later in the day, I became so bored that I fired up (yeah, because it's gas-powered) Cabal for the first time in a few weeks. I play it whenever I'm especially bored, and today was just one of those very slow kind of days.

A week from this Tuesday, I'll be on a train back home for the week. That should be cool. Definitely need to play me some Fallout 3.

More-Famous Friday!

This is so much earlier than usual, I know. The point is this: it's Friday, and this video needs to be way more famous than 80,000 views. Honestly, there should be fake motivational posters with this guy on them already. Internet, sometimes your metaphorical Segway hits a metaphorical crack in the metaphorical sidewalk (my metaphors, let me show you them). Pick up the pace, internet!

Also, a huge thanks to Dintillion for giving me the ability to embed this video even though embedding was disabled on it. It didn't work. That site could come in handy for later on, so I think I'll bookmark it. The internet is a book. I mark it. Sorry for the philosophy again (remember, papers are still due Monday).

EDIT: This is going to sound really nerdy, but was I the only person to see the title of this video and immediately think of Tali'Zorah nar Rayya? I can see the resemblance:

Sometimes George Bush Throws up the Shocker



Any comment I could possibly make about this picture would be inadequate, and so I have opted instead to circle every instance of the shocker that is clearly recognizable. The original picture is on the White House website here.

Some Things were Forgotten on Purpose #4

Yeah, I picked a title for my comic finally. Big whoop. You should all be very thankful for this, because I couldn't even use Word for this like I normally do because it's all screwed up (big shoutout to Windows Update shutting down my computer in the middle of the night! Heyuh!). I did this with Excel, and it still looks good. Although I suppose that since none of the art is my own, that doesn't really matter.

Sorry for that philosophy lecture (your papers are due this Monday people). Here it is:

Another AIM Conversation Due to a Late Night of (Phyiscs) Partying

Atticus: I have a bad habit of not copying down the problem before i solve it
Dave: You're just all-around a worse person than I had ever imagined
Atticus: It's true
Atticus: I put a good amount of people to shame
Atticus: Especially those people who actually try to act horrible
Atticus: Like Hitler
Atticus: He was a poser
Atticus: He could've done much worse
Dave: Yeah
Dave: Like not write down his trig homework
Dave: Mein fuhrer!
Dave: Der Triggenstein!
Dave: NACHT!

Sucky Newspapers and Why They Should Be Burned

So, my college has a weekly paper called The Advocate and it has little crappy new stories and something called a police blotter. The police blotter is a written list of summarized disturbances happening at the university. Some are funny, most are retarded. Take for example: On November 11, a group of students had the police called on them because of a milk-chugging contest taking place outside a dorm. No charges were pressed... Well, I hope no charges were freaking pressed because some kids were trying to get they're daily amount of Vitamin C! I suppose that milk is the new crack cocaine of the streets. Spread the word people! If you hear the phrase "Hey Jimmy, let's go suck the milk out of that cow!" beware. This actually means that those kids are going to go snort crack cocaine off a dead hooker's ass... YOU ARE BUNCH OF KNUCKLE-HEADED DUMBASSES TO CALL THE POLICE ON KIDS DRINKING MILK!!!

Second idiotic thing about the paper: an article on the front page talked about someone getting charged for possession of marijuana. Yes I am aware that possession of enough marijuana is illegal you morons of the internet world, but the newspaper must be pathetic enough to actually have to make an article about it. If every newspaper wrote an article every time someone got caught with marijuana, the rain forest would be destroyed in a matter of days. No joke people, that is just lame. Go overdose on some milk you dairy-lovers of the world!



The papers should be burned because as we all know, fire is awesome as seen by this comic:
Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic

What a Raven Day

Seriously, today was so Raven. Tuesdays are always interesting because I'm done with class by 1. Today I got back to my room at 1:30, fell asleep, and woke up at 5:30. It's like they want me to do all of college in a day or something, the rate they're making me work at.

To address the elephant in the room (what? The internet is a room and this blog is a table near an elephant, I guess), I did not do a regular post yesterday after the comic because I was busy planning comics for weeks ahead. How many weeks, you may ask? 11. I found 22 epic pictures of old-time models that are just ripe for my style of thought/speech bubble humor. I'm not gonna lie, you guys, they're like the 90's SNL of internet comics that involve no actual drawing. Is it even a comic then? Who knows. Here are the names I'm considering for it:

Stupid Fashion
LolModels
Somebody Else's Grandmother
Some Things were Forgotten on Purpose
Endless Photographic Model Happy!

If you can do better, then tell me. You probably can't, though. That's not reverse psychology. Nor is that. Or that. That last one was.
