OFFTOP 10.13.08 Garfield Edition
I'm not usually one for a case of the Mondays, but it's only 8.49am and I'm already set to climb back into bed and hide from the world. I couldn't wake up with my first alarm and then the second did not sing at the appropriate time. My shuffle was dead, forcing me to listen to thumping baselines as I scooted along. Water from residents oversoaking their balcony plants drenched me as I rode through the French Quarter. Upon opening my scooter seat, I found that red beans and rice had leaked all over my bag (including my new 80-count box of tea). As I hustled to make the six block walk, a cop stopped me to lecture me about riding on the sidewalk, causing me to clutch my dripping bag to my almost-new fleece, which will cause me to smell like chipotle for the rest of the day. And then, upon checking my email, yay--two new job rejections!
Please, give me some good news, or at least tell me of your worst Monday horror stories.

Looks like someone has a case of the mondays.

Not only is it Monday, which is bad in and of itself...
it is also Columbus Day doubling the shittiness.
All I can say is that, not unlike Janette Rankin who famously chimed “I love my country but I cannot vote for war”, I myself love my Phillies but I cannot root for Joe Blanton.

I don't have any Monday stories...
everyday is the same to me. Most of the time I don’t know what day of the week it is until I check LL and see the OFFTOP. I haven’t figured out if this is awesome or sad.

Sometimes it sucks
Like today when I read the Sunday train schedule and got on the wrong train for 30 minutes. I was busy reading a book I had just bought. Luckily my teammate says, “I can’t believe we’re still underground.” Then I realized it wasn’t Sunday :(

Uhhhhh...good news?
I don’t have any BAD news, but I’m afraid I can’t offer much good news – except to offer the quite possibly naïve assertion that the worst may, in fact, be behind you; that you’ve front-loaded all the crap from today into one hour and now it’s smooth sailing.
And honestly, job rejections are OK – at least you heard something. In my last bout with unemployment, I sent out about two to three resumes a day for about four weeks, and got exactly ONE response – the rest just vanished.

Did you know that Garfield is funnier without Garfield?
It’s the Garfield comic, and all that’s done is Garfield is completely taken out. It’s hilarious.

So that Poltergeist DirecTV commercial
has the funniest disclaimer ever. At the bottom of the screen, when all the crazy ghost rays start flying out of the TV, in small print it says “NOT INTENDED TO DEPICT ACTUAL VIEWING EXPERIENCE”.
Which is disappointing, because I really thought DirecTV would be my source for supernatural portals; now I gotta find another one.

I'm sick of how often it's getting shown.
Companies need to learn that after about 10 viewings of the same ad within a 2-day period, I will hate whatever they are selling. Geico does a brilliant job of mixing it up.

Using up the remaining vacation days so that you can move. And then catching a cold in the process. And having to come back to work after having missed a week to put out the fires that cropped up when you were gone…
I’ve got a massive cold and I’m having to try and figure out how to fix a broken SQL/ASP app first thing. Nevermind the fact that I lost about 20 hours of sleep last week as well.

You force wit by being in an uncomfortable position and trying to be funny
despite the fact that the situation may not call for funny, but merely for genial, in order to appeal to someone. And it’s not a good thing. Look at any politician that tries to be funny – it NEVER works. (NO POLITICS – that’s just a generic example)

The best way to approach this is to just ask her straight out.
Like many things in life, you start thinking about this too much and that causes you to heap all this extra pressure on yourself that isn’t really there. If you wait too long and get the idea in your head that you won’t succeed, you’re effed.
Two things. First, girls aren’t idiots. They are more sensitive than guys to body language and small things that we think are inconsequential. With this in mind, she probably has an idea that you like her. Which leads to my second thing. Girls love confidence. I haven’t met a girl who didn’t like confidence. Confidence is tricky, you can’t overplay it because then it becomes arrogance. But the beautiful thing about confidence is you can fake it. And fake it long enough and eventually it becomes real.

So I just bought the new David Byrne/Brian Eno record
and it’s actually pretty good. I was a pretty big Talking Heads fan but most of David Byrne’s solo stuff was kinda meh. But this is a good record – very lush, lots of midtempo-y stuff but really well written songs and great production.

If by messed up you mean awesome
Then you are correct.

I mean messed up
because it hasn’t yet been deep fried. THEN it’ll be awesome.

Holy crap! I would sleep for two days straight after eating that.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms.

Holy crap!
I would sleep for two days straight end up in the ICU after eating that.

This thread needs more
Calvin and Hobbes (especially ones that actually show up).

This reminds me how much I hate those Calvin pissing on things stickers.
I have a hard time believing Calvin has such a clear preference for Ford trucks that he would feel the need to urinate on a Chevy logo.

I am happy that the people that actually buy those
have no clue how awesome C&H really is. That they only see it on one level.

I wonder if Bill Watterson makes money off of those things.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it
it saddens me greatly that there’s an entire generation of people that only know Calvin as that kid that pisses on truck logos.

He has never produced anything nor endorsed anything Calvin/Hobbes related other than the comics themselves.

Yup.
All those Calvin pissing-on-things stickers are in violation of copyright laws.

These are the same people who have tattoos of Yosemite Sam or the Taz.

Or the ones where Calvin (and Susie in some cases) are praying.
For one thing those aren’t licensed merchandise (Bill Waterson was very strict about his licensing), and Calvin and Hobbes took a more skeptical view of things anyway.

I guess that answers my above question.

I have a 187mb PDF file of every last one
Except for that stupid fake on the internet whose creator needs to die a thousand deaths
by Robert on Oct 13, 2008 3:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I need this file.
I have 5 of the books, but it’d be nice to have the complete collection. Is there a way you can put this on a site for download?

The last time I tried to torrent something I broke my computer
by Robert on Oct 13, 2008 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
just buy the complete C&H
it’s less thefty that way. I may not be averse to downloading the occasional album, but free download of someone’s entire body of work seems to be a little much.

Is anyone else having a hard time loading up SBN pages right now?
The ad server seems to be broken and it’s causing things to hang up for me.

I haven't noticed anything. Why are you going to Orlando?

Something is up with SBN.
It’s taking me about seven minutes to load up even small fanposts right now. Appears to be related to trying to retrieve data from whoever is providing the ads here.

Anyone ever hear of Swedish Indie band Love Is All?
They opened for Of Montreal and I thought they were all right and generic. Their best song was Wishing Well which you can find here

Love As Laughter is a better name and a better band.
