No new comic from the NSP art department today, so instead here’s some important advice courtesy of Weasel and every elementary school teacher and kids’ show you have ever watched. Heed their advice! It could get you out of a sticky situation some day!
I hear that kids like the rap music these days. Here’s some cool advice that you can use!
At the very least, remember to stay in school, so you can learn the wisdom of proper spelling. Go Virginas! 
It has been a very busy week for this little girl and I had full intentions of writing something interesting and insightful, but that never happened. Very rarely am I one of the two anyway so aiming for a combination was really pushing it to begin with. So here we are with more comics.
Let me preface this with the notice that I love Pope John Paul II. If you are on my facebook you know this because you’ve seen some of these before. Pope Comics have been around since I worked for the comics section of my university newspaper, but I forget how it evolved that he talks the way he does. Ah well.
This one has spilled coffee on it, because I am a slob. Of course I assume everyone who reads it knows the Papal Homeland Visit of 1979 was a happening time. For those of you who don’t: It was!
Mom also has a t-shirt with the pope’s face on it. Hawt!
And now for PAINT COMICS!!
Cutting and pasting MAGIC!
Great, you threw the Pope in with your 2Dimensional guys. Now I’m going to have to choose which one I like better!
*strains*
*head explodes*
Oh man, I loved Jesus’s “holla”, and the “tricked” with the monster had me in stitches.
Also, I think your mom and my mom should get together and make some sort of super awesome t-shirt club.
Those last two Pope comics were huge! I made ‘em smaller.
Mom also has a t-shit with a picture of me and my sisters on it when we were in elementary. You wouldn’t even believe how amazing it is.
This all reminds me, what did you end up doing with that Pope picture I got you? For those reading this, in 2004, I was “hanging out” at the site where the Pope said mass in Moncton in the early 80’s or so, and a friend of mine broke the lock off an equipment shed. Inside, I found a huge-ass wood-mounted picture of the Pope and, knowing her huge fandom for the man, gave it to Beaton.
Looking back, there’s an interesting moral quandary to stealing a picture of the Pope. I’ll have to consult my bible.
THAT THING WAS HUGE, I recall you walking around town with it, which is very funny. It was in my room for a long time, then I graduated and left town. Now I have no idea where it is. Forgive me, Pope!
HAhahaha those comics are funny but not as funny as this:
I have a hard time saying “gesticulate” without giggling.
I hear you gesticulate every day, Hawkeye.
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee *snort* hee hee
Twice on sundays
Thumpers are a near-constant source of fascination for me.
I want to build my home in the holes in ol’ Charley’s argument. He’s just pissed about the hand he was dealt, he was hoping to turn out more like this:
Facing that kind of hard reality can be too much for some people, even some frogs.
Time to get deadly serious. If you haven’t seen this movie and enjoy shock schlock horror DON’T WATCH THIS CLIP. If you have weak mental faculties or are easily disturbed DON’T WATCH THIS CLIP. If you’ve been saving a nug for a moment to remember, GRAB IT, BUST IT, SMOKE IT, and run back to the computer and WATCH THIS CLIP! I promise you, you’ll never forget it, no matter how hard you try……
The Sleepaway Camp paragraph is possibly the best intro to a video clip I have ever read. congrats!
Of course because of my weak mental faculties, it took several days to try and say that.
Sleepaway Camp is a classic terrible movie. I have an ex girlfriend who threw away her curling iron after seeing it (if you don’t get that reference, watch the movie).
Sleepaway Camp II is also a lot of fun (or was the curling iron bit in part II? oh well). Being a drunken sexy teen at a camp seems like its more dangerous than being in Iraq.
I think JasonX is the ultimate drunk-girl-camping-by-the-lake-exploitation-movie. WOOP
Hahaha I thought that Pagz and I were the only ones who appreciated that scene in Jason X.
I was lucky enough to enjoy Jason I through XI within the same 6 month span so I think I’m the most appreciative of that scene. I was LOLling and rolling around on the ground! Non-stop-giggling. Wheee!
That and the “Bay window” thing but I don’t think you and pagz will get that.
Oh man, I love me some terrible horror movies. They really are the best kind. They’re way better than the comedies people put out these days. Miss Gayle, Weasel, and myself have had a many a classic awful horror film-a-thons…
It may be time to watch Jason X again! (movie night?)

Boxhead!
No fair! I can make inside jokes too, uh … polyhedron… cheek!
*trying too hard to be cool*
Boxhead is a game like circle of death except one of the cards is the Boxhead card and whoever gets it has to wear a beer box on their head and go drink for drink with everyone else. The boxhead gets comically intoxicated much faster, and keeps that position until someone else gets the boxhead card. Yet another treasure from Eastern Canada.
Also, when someone yells “SOCIABLE!!” at a party, everyone yells SOCIABLE! back, raise their glasses and takes a drink. I don’t know the particular geographical bearings on that one, but I have only seen it on the east coast. Of course drinking helps establish relationships there so these sorts of games are necessary. For example: if someone takes the care to puke outside in the bushes instead of on your floor, that means they respect you. If they pass out behind your couch, that means you’re friends. If they drive the car through the wall of the house, they’re very likley related to me.
As you can see above, “Jack” is the “Social” card - upon drawing everyone shouts SOCIAL! and has a drink. Of course, having a house-packed-party and getting the same reaction whenever you want sans cards does seem cooler.
And boxhead? omg tehfunny. That must be included next time!
I used to have a drinking game called Boxface, but it mostly involved me, drunk, hitting Hanni in the face with a cardboard box. Good times.
First off, go see the new ninja turtles film, it’s awesome. Seriously, it buries all other animated series and films based on the property.
Now then, on to my discovery. A discovery that will rock your world to its very foundations. We all know the Ninja Turtles as we were first exposed to them:
And some of us may remember them best in their live action incarnation:
If you’re terribly unfortunate, you may remember the turtles from their *shudder* live musical stage show:
Or maybe you’re into the new series:
Whatever your exposure to the turtles, prepare yourself. What you’re about to see will shatter your mind into tiny pieces just like it did to mine. Sadly, embedding has been disabled for this clip so you’ll have to follow this link.
So, I assume by now your reality has been torn asunder. The Japanese are clearly insane, god bless’em. Discuss below kids.
God damn! Not only do the Mutastones make them 10 feet tall and rippling with muscles, but they also give them more human facial features and turn their plain cloth bandanas into sturdy batman face masks!
Man those Mutastones are one awesome gem. Too bad they only work for 3 minutes.
PS: The fairy that summoned them to the underground lair is HAWT. ROWR
I’m confused…Are you saying you liked the new TMNT movie? Because I don’t know how anyone over the age of 7 can be interested in it.
Is it a coincidence that we were about 7 when the first series of movies came out? I don’t think we’re the target audience anymore. That being said, I thought the new movie was ok. Nothing crazy spectacular, but it was alright. Hell, I’ve been waiting for Raphael to get his hands on Leonardo for almost 20 years now. It’s about damn time.
The first question I would have to ask is, have you seen the new movie Songsjosiah? I don’t know why anyone over the age of 18 would feel the need to question others tastes and maturity in regards to a series originally intended for mature audiences, but that’s just me. Yes, I liked the film a lot.
This discussion is in danger of degenerating. Allow to elevate matters to a higher intellectual plateau:
I liked … your mom a lot.
I liked your mom’s face.
I liked your dog’s face.
I liked your mom’s dog’s face.
I liked your mom’s dog’s face’s mom.
I hear you also like eating Hickory Smoked Horse Buttholes… From a CUP
I saw the new movie the day it came out, and was unimpressed from the first shot of April looking like Lara Croft. This film is definately for kids who have never experienced anything beyond some flashy remade episodes of a series that was already top notch. (Although in todays trend of remaking anything and everything, who can blame them? Money is cool, I know I like when I have it)
Nothing about this movie could even be attached to the word “mature”, except that maybe accompanying your child/younger sibling to this film would be the mature thing to do.
I will tell you one thing I did get excited about…this website after a close friend began writing for it. Now it has been a few weeks and in regards to the class structure here, I see that trying to leave a comment is like trying to walk through the lobby when I was in high school. It is safer to just look at all the fools then to try and make contact with any of them. ( i am generalizing here..I know I haven’t exchanged words with most of you)
Anyway. I have learned from my mistake and will no longer communicate with anyone on here except for the original reason I came : my friend, who on here is known as Hawkeye. I am sorry for having an opinion that differs from someone with more comment posts than me…it won’t happen again.
to paraphrase Marge Simpson, “Stop it! Can’t you see this Ninja Turtle debate is tearing us apart?!”
Joe- Keep posting dammit. We need a counter opinion to keep us honest. Besides, I’m going to need some back up when I post my article this Sunday “Greeks are just Jews without money”
[Serious hat on:]
Songsjosiah: We’re all typically laid back and easy going, and when someone has a differing opinion we usually challenge it (which gives the other person on opportunity to defend themselves and prove their point). We do it all the while with tongues-in-cheek and we’ll slap each other on the back and have a beer afterwards.
That said, it seems you have your metaphor wrong. Pagz was trying to walk down the high school halway touting his opinion, and you were the first person to shout “I don’t know anyone over 7 years old who would be interested in it.” That’s a pretty harsh statement right there, and I think that’s where the can of worms got the first crack.
I think we’ve all gotten old enough that we can watch programming targeted at children, and enjoy it for the quality of the art, the subtle adult-targeted jokes, or just for the reminiscing of days gone by that were much more fun.
All that said, I still haven’t seen the TMNT movie (for shame!) and I do not know if it has any of the aforementioned qualities. For all I know it could be a steaming pile-S movie, at which point I’ll come back and defend your viewpoint… But until then …
DRAAAAAAMAAAAAAAA
I don’t think anyone would argue that the exchange preceeding Songsjosiah’s comment was indeed particularly foolish. But though I am also a new writer - joining in December- I think that, arguably, I am also the one who has actually met the most people out of those who currently post (not Iwright, RandomGirl or Lysrish). And I think all are very nice people indeed.
How’d that extra S get into Lyrish?
DAMMIT
Also the whole face/horse buttholes thing are pop culture references, thusly being wicked cool inside jokes for those in the know.
“Yeah, that’s right, I say boo-yeah. Just get the hell out of here, I’ll finish the report myself.” - The only time Ray Romano was ever funny was on SNL, in a skit with Tim Meadows. Sorry, Weasel.
In case you were wondering the cause of this sudden exclamation, you might be interested to know that I finally found a place to live. Not an apartment, not a condo or townhouse, but a real, actual house/home:
I am particularly a fan of the little hearts in the shutters, but the lawn and view are pretty nice too:
I know the grass is all patchy and it’s kind of a podunk neighborhood, but that is just because it is in this little mountain town called Nederland. It’s totally in the middle of nowhere but they at least have a grocery store and a few restaurants and stores and whatnot:
Plus, it is gorgeous and I work from home anyway, so what difference does it make?
I’m if sorry this wasn’t funny or even interesting for many of you, but I enjoyed writing it. If you so desire, you may all queue up to make out with my ass. Please form a line here—->
It is so little and cute for a box! I bet ten Grandmas are already in there baking you cookies!
Wow… That is SUCH a square house. Did you buy or are you renting?
Also, I love how the map lists every single building. Look how big the high school is! Which dot is yours?
It really does look that way from where I took the picture, but the roof does at least come to a point. We are renting and if you use the things around the map as coordinates, my dot is at about where the comma after anyway meets with a line drawn parallel from the top of 57′3″.
Shhhh…
Don’t tell anyone I’m here! I’ve been secretly wishing I’ve had a day to post with for quite a while now and I have a bunch of things piling up. However, something came up and I thought I should share (specifically with Foley but everyone is welcome):
A new flash-based game where you can use various skills to accumulate points! It’s called Desktop Tower Defense. We even have our own custom high score table; after punching in your name it’ll let you choose a group. We are group “tehblitz” (minus the quotes). Can anyone top my high score?!
While we wait for Foley people to grow a pair and actually get on with the challenge, here is a depiction of a more physical challenge that occured to me a few days back:
I’m going to write either a song or a movie script called “Midnight Ninja”…I’m not sure which yet
I think I’ll make a breakfast cereal called Midnight Ninja. It could have chocolate Ninja wheat products with marshmallow throwing stars!
PS: I am not bored at work at all hence the 50 entries in the high score table
you do a lot of whumping in your comics
I was thinking the exact same thing, actually. *WHUMP*
I’m playing your tower defense game, but the page to display group scores seems to be dead. What do you mean by using ‘various skills’ btw? There are different towers you can use, does these constitute different skills?
Yeah the group score page died about an hour ago, the game is still in development so bear with it for a bit =)
“Various Skills” = your strategy skill, your micromanagement skill, your math skill, your hand-eye-coordination skill, and probably at least 15 more.
I like that this game seems to have stolen all it’s sound effects from Lemmings. God, I miss Lemmings.
The group scoring is back! I don’t see you there hawkeye >:(
I need more challengers to my awesomeness!
I’ve beat it twice on normal and *almost* beat it on hard… Sheesh
Yeah, I tried it once and then immediately downloaded Lemmings and just played that for hours.
Woo v1.2 of Desktop Tower Defense is now up, there’s a new tower type and a new creep type, plus now you lose 25 points (not dollars) if you delete a tower so “Juggling” is dissuaded. Plus now the game is a bit easier in some respects. Wheeeeeeeee (PS: This game is perfect for killing the last 8 hours of your job)

Are my comics that transparent? :~(

Look at their faces in that photo. Do you think they noticed? The dude on the left looks like he noticed, and realizing he had to put the shirt on in order to satisfy the team and the sponsors, he decided to grin and bear it. The dude on the right looks clueless though. What would you do in that situation other than crack up uncontrollably?
on April 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 am #
I think the guy on the left hasn’t noticed, but is instead wondering WTF he’s doing with a piece of string over his ear.

When you win the championship, they cut down the basketball net with scissors and everybody on the team get a piece. Apparently, they also get an awesome t-shirt.

I can’t stop smirking when looking at that shirt.
