I’ve been joining in at the forum that Allie Brosh started: VERY SERIOUS. It seems like a fun place to be; basically what I wish my forum turned in to. I’ve been spending most of my time there in the Drawings Area in the hopes that it’ll get me drawing again. Today I made a balloon:
I’m trying to work my way up to drawing a dinosaur eating a clown. How’s that for a goal you never expected to have?

As some of you who are friends with Heather on Facebook probably already know, I bought a motorcycle last Saturday. It’s a brand new 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900.
It looks like this:
It’s the first motorcycle I’ve ridden in 17 years.
Remember on my earlier post when I talk about mid-life crisis and how I should probably wait to get motorcycle until my end-of-life crisis? Apparently that time is now.
I haven’t actually had much time to ride it yet. In a week I’ve only put about 50 miles on it, and the coating on the tires doesn’t even wear off until after 100 miles or so. Part of the reason for the low miles is because I didn’t know if my insurance policy covered me when I bought it, and my agent wasn’t back in his office until Tuesday. Another reason is because after 17 years of driving cars I find that I’m a bit freaked out being back on a bike. And the roads around here are fucking awful. I’ve missed several horrid potholes by blind luck so far.
I was able to ride the bike to work yesterday and today. This morning the ride in was a much nicer than yesterday, mainly because I’ve stopped trying to get used to the heel foot shifter, which I’d never used before, and focused on the toe shifter for all of my shifting needs. I figure once I’m re-accustomed to riding, and the bike is broken in a bit more, I can revisit the concept of using my heel to shift up, and my toe to shift down. Right now? Too old and set in my ways.
So I made it in to work, feeling good. I went the whole trip without stalling the bike once, shifting went fine, traffic wasn’t bad, potholes didn’t kill me. My gloves are hurting a bit across my knuckles though, and I think I’ll stop by the shop where I bought them and ask about them. They cost too much to just ignore it. I put my gear on my desk, took my lunch from my backpa…
A bee stung me on the palm of my left hand! Right below my index finger! Crrrraaaaaaaaap! That hurt. It still hurts. I just got attacked by an insect stowaway on my shifting hand. Why’d it have to sting my shifting hand?!
The drive home is going to be interesting.
Now, at that moment I didn’t know if I was allergic to bee stings or not. It would appear to be “not,” but that doesn’t make me like them any better.
I’m fine with bees, at a distance. I know they are an important part of the ecosystem, and I like honey, but FUCK YOU MR. BEE! I don’t feel the slightest bit bad that you are going to die, you treacherous bitch bug. You could have flown away at any time, but no. You had to lie in wait and ambush me when my gloves were off. I could squish you and end your suffering, but I don’t think so. My hand is going to be hurting for quite awhile, and I still don’t know how bad the trip home is going to be, so no mercy killing for you. I’m just going to dump you in the grass outside and you can lay there and think about how you fucked up. Enjoy what time you have left. Bastard!
I do like my new bike though.

I can’t get no
for real comments.
I can’t get me no
for real comments.
But I can get me some stupid spam comments. Time to reply with own counter-comments in red… lots and lots of red.
Susanne Brostoff says:
Why have you deleted my post? What the hell are you talking about? You don’t post here. At best you spam here. If I deleted your “post” it’s because it was fucking SPAM! It was very helpful information and i assure atleast one person found it helpful unlike the rest of the comments on this website. Ouch. Do you hear that you other people who comment? I’m looking at all three of you. Time for you to step up the quality. You’re irking the spammers. I’ll post it again. Persistent fucker, aren’t you? Fed up with obtaining low numbers of useless visitors for your website? Yes. I would like high numbers of useless visitors for my website. Do you have some friends you could point my way? I’ll bet any friend of yours is useless enough to bloat the numbers. Well i wish to share with you a brand new underground tactic that makes me personally $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT. So if I were to throttle back the autopilot to 50%, would that mean I could make as much as $1800 per day, or would I only get $450 per day? Just how important is the autopilot? I could be here all day and going into detail (Seeing as you aren’t standing in front of me giving this pitch, and your freaking words will be here until the internet vanishes, this has to be the stupidest fucking thing you’ve written so far. If I read slowly, you WOULD be here all day. Extremely slowly, and I could stretch your visit out to an entire weekend. Ass.) but why dont you just check their site out? Meh. Can’t be bothered. There is really a excellent video that explains everything. Really?! You wouldn’t be shitting me, would you? A VIDEO that explains EVERYTHING?! Did God make it?! WheeeeeeeeEEEeee! So incredible! So if your seriously interested in making quick hard cash this is the website for you. I only dabble at it, nickels and dimes as it were, so I suppose this isn’t for me. Drats. Auto Traffic Avalanche

The old link dont work, (Dont it? By gum! It dont, doit?) ill repost what i posted earlier… If you must. Hey, long story short. The end. Ta-dah! 3 weeks ago i saw a comment just like this one promoting a item known as Mobile Monopoly. To the letter? How freaky. Must be a wormhole in space/time. Did you also happen to see who won the next Super Bowl? That could be handy info to have. I decided to visit the website and check the item out, i was amazed with it and signed up right away. “The item” eh… hmm… It’s a dildo, isn’t it. That’s why you are being so coy. A big, purple dildo that amazed you. So far i have made $2,512 in 3 weeks. By beating random people on the street with the big, purple dildo until they hand over their money. It’s a living. I suggest you all check their site out, what have you got to lose? By “suggest” do you really mean “do it or I’ll thwack you with this dildo”? I GUARANTEE you will subscribe with them once you watch their video… And you can take THAT guarantee to the bank! …where they will either look at you like you’re a moron, or they’ll outright laugh in your face. The method is just incredible for making cash online and the potential money you could make from it’s near infinite. Seriously. Near infinite. $infinite +/- $10-ish. Bill Gates AND Steve Jobs will be your bitches. International commerce will come to a screeching halt because you’ll have it all baby. +/- $10-ish. Well worth considering… You’ve sold me! I’m in! Now, nobody else do this or it won’t work! Mobile Monopoly
cheap lingeries says:
Wonderful, good saying and very vivid expression, i truly like your opinion about that.I gotta say very good and quite persuasive. Um. Thanks? No link in the body of the text or nothing. I’m surprised by you. You call yourself an opportunistic spammer seeking to lure dumbfucks into bad decisions, and this is the best you can do?! Cheap lingeries, you need to either step up, or step off.
mbt shoes says:
over the world thanks you …oh for fuck’s sake. Seriously?! You just made cheap lingeries look like awesome fedoras.
That’s it for now, although I plan to turn the first two into movies soonish.

Not really, but I am making some movies with the help of Xtranormal. What I’m doing is going back through my archives, back to when I posted more often and was still funny, and putting the text to movies. I’ve done two so far, but I might make this a regular thing. Of course, those of you who know me know that nothing apart from not posting for ages at a time is regular.
Here are my first two movies:

Really, really.
I loved (but fell way behind on) the comic series this is based on. I hope I don’t forget to add this to the Tivo.
