Coltrane to move out of the frat house after next semester
 

And you didn't need a mentor to help you make your decision? I'm shocked.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

TM would be Boondocks
Bilmore would be Mark Trail
Wonk would be Andy Capp
Sebby would be Dagwood & Blondie
Ty would be Tom Tomorrow
RP would be Ernie Pook's Comeek
G3 would be Troubletown
NFH would be Ripley's Believe it or Not!
Chinaski would be Life in Hell
Gwinky would be Nancy
Gattigap would be Pogo
Shape Shifter would be The Far Side
PLF would be Zippy the Pinhead
Fringey would be Cathy
Sidd would be Drabble
Not Bob would be Kudzu
Slave and Less would be Frank & Ernest

and I would be Feiffer.



None of us is Doonesbury, Calvin & Hobbes, or Peanuts. But at least none of us is the Family Circus, either.

That is all.

You obviously run with a more successful crowd than I do. And I don't work at BIGLAW so I'm not raking it in. Then again, I don't hang out with lawyers. I can generally say (present company excluded) that I am mainly correct when I say that all they ever talk about is work. No thanks. I'd rather hang out with less successful but more interesting people. I graduated in 2001, apparently the worst law job market ever. Ever. Had I not gone to law school, I'd probably be making much more. Nevertheless, I'm not complaining about my situation. I'm having a blast.

Farfegnugen my ass.
 

Kind of goes against the whole concept of "people's car", doesn't it?

Not Me.

I was going to put in a guess as to which comic strip I would be, but then I realized I haven't looked at the comics page in like a decade, so I'm not even sure what to guess (or what half of the comics listed by Atticus are).

Stop defending yourself. If you're having a blast then who gives a shit what people spending much more say? Do you really care what mmmmmm thinks? He can't wipe his ass without whining that there was no mentor there to help him.

In my mind's eye, you look like the new Luann (rowr!) but you talk like Broom Hilda. I could probably get over that, since if you went entirely by voice you'd pass over Fran Dresher and wind up fucking Joe Pantoliano instead.

Thanks. I'd never heard of Troubletown, but it looks OK.

The killer pimp
 

the first part of that clause I can understand, but he drove jennifer tilly to gina gershon. much to all off our benefit.

There's got to be a Ziggy around here somewhere.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

Agreed. but who?

I used to read the comics page when I was little and I remember For Better or for Worse (annoying) and Rex Morgan M.D.. Is Rex Morgan M.D. still around? Did Rex and June ever get together?

Don't make me change the avatar again.

Although I am not offended by this, I still think that, every once in a while, I am funny to someone who is not me.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

Does this mean you still think I'm male?

I think you'd make the better Ziggy.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

Clearly, Atticus has some work to do. Please find us a Ziggy. And I wouldn't mind a Winkerbean while you're at it.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

If I went by looks I might wind up passing over Fran Drescher for Joe Pantoliano as well.

Thank you, NFH. .:bow: .:bow: We need more photographs like this to balance the large number of chesty babe pix that are regularly posted on this board by the guys.

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

Don't you mean you're gonna bust an Andy Capp in his ass?

If the FB were the comics page . . .
 

I see Wonk and Bilmore as the Mr. Wilsons of the FB. Sebby is more of an Andy Capp.

Great. Now I have ONJ's voice running through my head.

Shouldn't TY be a Doonesbury character?

Who is it? She looks pissed about something.

Aw, thanks. You made us your pun line.

It's the chick from the SciFi series Farscape, which was good for the first couple of seasons, then got self-referential and weird.

Her character was pretty much always pissed, so the photo is typical.

That I was not given the obvious Garfield or that really cool siamese cat in that other strip with a name I cannot recall (Raising Fuzzy?) would hurt if I gave a shit that you don't give a shit about me.

Sure it's not Amanda Donohue, the original Lesbian Kisser on TV?

A co-worker just gave me an entire tin. They were given to him by another co-worker who is now out of the office. I would be happy to share with anyone who is in the area.

My local 7-11 has them all time. Should I buy the stash and post them on eBay? Are they that good?

She was also in Pitch Black, but she got eaten no more than 1/2 way through. Which was a bummer, 'cause I rather liked her character.

She looked pretty pissed in that, too.

Comix & Reality TV
 

I see fringey more as Sylvia than Cathy (tone more than imagined looks). Don't know where I fit--the ones that make me laugh the most are often the ones that least resemble my life.

AI starts next week.

I had read on these boards that they can be difficult to find. I had not gone out of my way to look for them, but I had never run across them. They are curiously addictive and my current supply is rapidly diminishing. The lid of the tin says they are "naturally flavored with other natural flavor sweets."

Ginger Altoids
 

Should you become addicted, I have about a dozen tins that I would be willing to share. But you have to come and get them.

Obvious addition based on geography:
GWNC would be "For Better or For Worse" (that most GWN-ish of comics).
I'm a Daniel Clowes graphic novel.
Jack Manfred is a 'zine y'all have never heard of, but would love it if you ever came across it.

Confidential to Atticus
 

Re-read the post in question, and you'll see that it was as much self-deprecating as it was jabbing at you.

I do think you're a sock, however. You happen to be close to a masterpiece as long-term sock projects go, if only for sheer volume. Keep at it; I'm sure eventually we'll get the complete works of Shakespeare. While you're banging away, do us a favor and try to make it one of the public-domain versions. Leagl doesn't need additional copyright troubles.

Party Legend Found
 

Houston party legend Mike Nixon (who you may have read about here http://houstonpress.com/issues/2003-...l/1/index.html) has been found.

Too bad. You picture a guy like this heading to South America and they find him hiding in a Fort Worth guest house. Disappointing.

Hasn't NFH already posted links to Shakespeare? Must have somewhere - right?

It's my wife and it's my life. See you soon.
