FIRE WALK WITH BREAKFAST!

Today as I was fixing pancakes, I noticed this...

figure 1. 24 oz....of murder.

The brand of pancake mix I was using is none other than Snoqualmie Falls Lodge brand. For those of you in the know and for those of you not, this is the waterfall and lodge used in the filming of David Lynch's murder mystery television series Twin Peaks. Being such a huge fan of the show and the author of various Agent Cooper fan fiction adventures I must have somehow become subconsciously linked to the whole phenomenon. So much so that I didn't even notice what brand of pancake and waffle mix I purchase. This of course can mean only one thing.

"COULD YOU PLEASE PASS THE SYRUP?"

Breakfast anyone?

Ode to a Legend

As we all know, Bea Arthur passed away this last week. A comic genius who is famous for, among many other things, her roles in Maude and The Golden Girls, she will be greatly missed. Today I found this very touching article/ obituary about her and I just wanted to share it with my 2-3 readers.

The Lines are getting blurred.

Like a long lost friend.

I haven't kept up with a particular website in a long time, so this morning I thought I would give it a quick glance. You see, I generally feel that the good times are over the moment someone thinks that it would be a good idea to make a paper book that is merely just made up of the content on some URL. The book has its limits, while it is completely possible for the internet entity it is written about, to keep growing and changing. And in this day and age of environmental awareness, how responsible is it to keep using paper? I digress though, that is another huge issue that I will not get into now. To get back on track, this morning, while eating my bowl of instant oatmeal, I checked in on this little webiverse destination, Stuff White People Like. I was not disappointed.

I DO like Starbucks AND Jagermeister!

Looks interesting right?

Child care

Today at my work a gentleman came up to the register and said, "in the interest of keeping the peace can I trade this dollar for four quarters?" What he was referring to was the fact that he could no longer control his children and he wanted to get them something from our candy machines to chew on. I have two major problems with this scenario: 1. when your child is running around and not listening to you in a public place you probably should NOT GIVE THEM FUCKING SUGAR! I don't know how many times witnessed something like this and it drives me up the wall every time. 2. "in the interest of keeping peace...", you give a child some sort of reward? So basically you are saying it's okay to give into terrorism. I just want to get that straight because that is the precedent being set and reinforced everytime this happens. And if you don't think a kid recognizes this on some level, you are deluded and retarded. It is just like the dog owner that gives their pet a treat for going to the bathroom outside. That animal's one job is to NOT shit inside. It does not deserve a present for this one basic expectation. When it comes to kids, the treat should be the fact that the parents are willing to take them someplace at all. When I'm out in public, my reward for not being a complete asshole is NOT getting arrested.

And since I'm sure you are thinking it...no, I don't have any kids of my own...yet!

This is me at my most masochistic.

I truly must hate myself right now because I am on the third book in the Twilight series. Obviously this is a cry for help. These books are so horribly written. How did this woman get a publisher to sign on to this? It is pathetic. The fact that I am reading this makes me feel worse than the fact that last fall, I did not make it to a bathroom on time and ended up pooping my pants. Someone please save me from myself.

34 year old man who reads comics is suprised he's still single.

Even so, you should really read this series.


Y: The Last Man is a comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, about the only man to survive the mysterious simultaneous death of every creature with a Y chromosome on Earth.
