I did warn the people in this week’s comic that it’d be a long, long drive…
This week’s comic has never even heard of novocaine.
Even when it’s just a commercial relationship, breaking up can be hard to do.
This week’s comic takes relaxation seriously. Very seriously.
This week’s comic isn’t going down easy.
This week’s new comic is showing signs of burnout.
This week’s comic isn’t old. It’s classic.
This week’s comic knocks back a ’40 of cooking sherry and starts arguing that Betty Crocker is a pretty fly honey.
So, we headed to the local brewpub to watch the election results flow in. And to flow a little bit of beer into ourselves.
Ok. More than a little bit. It was a lot of fun – kind of like a sports event – with cheering and booing as various state results came in, “Oooh”‘s and “Ahhhh”‘s as close races flipped back and forth, and loud debates over what various results meant.
And, during a visit to the men’s room, there was a strange… oddity. From the time I walked in the door, to the moment I was done with my business, hands washed and walking out there was a guy in one of the stalls peeing. Continuously. Voluminously. Without pause or reduction of flow. This guy must have had a bladder the size of a watermelon.
It was awe inspiring and a little bit frightening.
My wife and I walked down to the polling place with coffee in hand, stood in line for maybe half an hour, and were out of there by 7:15. Plenty of time afterwards to grab some breakfast, mosey in to work, and generally have a pretty standard morning.
And no matter how this election comes out, having Sarah Palin on the Republican ticket certainly has brought Alaska more prominently into the public consciousness. My wife and I had an amazing time up there on our honeymoon. The wilderness is beautiful, and the wildlife is amazing. It was really thoughtful of the Republican Party to show the world such a fine specimen of the Red Baiting Wingnut Loon.
