posted by BobPosted by Bob on May 27, 2005: Hey everybody. New comic can be found right here, and as an added bonus, it includes the rarely seen Joe. It's kind of funny-Everytime we do a comic with Joe in it, I always have to refer to the last comic he was in, because his appearances are so few and far between that I tend to forget how he looks. As was the case with this week's comic. Just what does Joe do in all his time off from the store? Who knows! I've got some ideas...maybe we can make them into comics someday. All I know for sure is that I know exactly what I want him to do with his life at the end of the series. I've got Joe's story pretty well decided. See, Steve doesn't really deal with any character's backstories, so I make up things for them. He'd write something, and I know that the character wouldn't do it, so I would shoot it down. When asked, I would reply that the character had something happen to them in the past that would prevent them from doing that, and it was then that Steve learned how demented I am. I've got stories on all these guys.

I think the only thing I don't know for sure is comic Steve's last name, but then again, I don't think real Steve knows that either, so we're good there.

So, anyway. What links do I have for you this week? Here's a kind of fun puzzle game. You have to get all the reds on one side and the blues on the other. It's not terribly hard, but I thought it was kind of fun.

Oh, last week I linked to an Explicit Content Only version of Straight Outta Compton, but everytime I went to check the site after Friday it didn't seem to work, so in case you wanted to see that, there's the link again. It seems to be working as of this writing.

Here's a kind of funny video on the best way to deal with getting dumped. Well, it starts out that way, but spends a lot of time showing dancing bikini girls. Which, to be quite honest, I'm okay with.

Okay, seriously, does anyone have any idea what the fuck this is all about? All I know is that I'm gonna be singing "Tarzan rubberband" all week. Fuck you very much, internet.

It's really kind of sad and tragic to see what Hollywood can do to some people. You go there, wide eyed and idealistic. You're going to make something of yourself! You'll be the next Brando. The next Depp. The next Piscopo! So you take small parts here and there, not really making it anywhere, only to find yourself a year later on your knees sobbing "Just...don't...don't get it in my eye*" Sad, really.

*Flat out stolen from David Cross. Buy his albums!

You gotta love white guy fros.

I love it when a new Star Wars movie comes out, because we get news stories like this. Ah, you have to love nerds who don't know any better.

Speaking of which... "I don't know if they're going to beat my ass or show me their talent" gets my vote for the best line of the year so far. This victory strengthens the soul of that guy!

Prerequisite guy falling and hurting himself. What makes it better is that he was just trying to show off and look cool. Bonus points!

Working hoverboards! Woo!

And with that, I'm outta here folks. Back in a week.
