Sorry folks. I haven’t made many updates t’ this blog because I’ve been so busy. Work be suckin’ down me time and I’m knee deep in day 3 o’ a 12 day work week. Only 8 days, 12 hours, and 2 minutes until me next weekend.

Quick updates: Team fortress 2 = awesome. Balance spec leveling druid= not as bad as I thought.

Welcome back Nancy! Thanks for the coke and I missed ya.

School starts soon, just not for me.

Heard back from a couple more job prospects. I’m on the candidate list at least.

Yar.

Viva Piñata isn’t only a game, but a conduit for nerds to marry. Let’s hope these love birds can put aside Viva Piñata on their wedding night.

A while back I made a cartoon about Subway’s goofy way of arranging cheese on their sandwiches, and I learned something after posting it up on the site: people are very passionate about cheese. I’ve gotten more commentary on that comic than any other so far.

I recently got an email from a guy named Stu, who said this:

I love your subway cartoon, I work at subway and printed your toon. The staff found it funny, my boss did not!!!

Next day a notice was put up about cheese! And I took a photo to send to you.

Here’s the photo he attached:

It seems there’s some devious reasoning behind Subway’s practices! They choose to offend geometric decency to make their customers pay more to fill in the missing puzzle pieces! That’s evil genius. Stu also gave me this caveat:

Remember that all subway stores are franchised owned so every store will be run in its own way, and this notice is only from my subway.

And he’s right, so we can’t make the same statement about all Subway locations, but this is the best explanation I’ve seen for why cheese placement might be an important part of a business model. Who knew?

Thanks, Stu.

I’m pretty sure my lunch was drugged as I’ve got a woozy, almost drunken feeling about me. I also have a feeling druggings haven’t stopped:

Me:
and I think there’s too much sugar in this coffee

maybe it’s to cover up the second dose of date rape drugs, I’m feeling less loopy now from the chinese food

Friend:

are they revolting because the mug is too crowded?

that happens when i play civilization

Me:

Me:

do I get to yell “This is PERUVIAN BLEND!” and kick him into a hole?

Friend:

lol

they do that to me whenever i go to starbucks and ask for a milkshake

it was so much easier before they installed the bottomless pits

and adopted the creed of ancient sparta

Me:

well, it is a rather ruthless business. I mean, once the privately owned coffee shops of the world were united under the great conqueror, Stephen, they tried to march on the territory of the Starbucks, asking only for an offering of cream and sugar to show their tribute…
1:14
after that, things just got out of hand and the customers started bearing all of the costs

Friend:

it’s those heavily armored baristas

Moral:
“Baristas are none to be trifled with!” either that or “Don’t order food/beverages from shoppes that have large pits in front of the counter.”

If someone challenges to do an atomic situp, beware.

For those who don’t know, an Atomic Sit Up is when you bet somebody they can’t do a sit up with you holding their head back with a towel or pillow case. Then, as they try, you release the towel, and, well, just watch the video.
