Garfield made me laugh today. It was one in the paper.

One made this year.

Garfield's line is still unnecessary.

And John's bizarre face only draws attention to how equally bizarre his usual, non-nosed appearance is.

That interesting enough article (although I think the implied definition of humour was a little shakey, I think) linked to this fascinating article about a 20-year extension of copyright privileges. It's quite depressing to read though, if you have faith in market forces and the current sham of a capitalistic system.

Wow, this post is up past 100k views. That's pretty damn amazing!

Thank you internet, for paying way too much attention to an idea that wasn't terribly clever...

Geez, MackJ, I hate to say this, but you need to learn from Ryan. When you put something not-terribly-clever on the Internet, and suddenly find inordinant numbers of people looking at it, pretend as though it were clever.

Then: sell t-shirts.

That's alright: the shirts only need to be tangentially related to what you originally posted.

Yeah! You could have a cafepress that sells shirts that say "Now, where are my pants?"

You could link to it in the original post and MAKE MILLIOOOOOOOOOOONS

Geez, I missed ALL of this. MackJ, you're famous'd! And this is why the board's been acting like Boner Stabone all week.

I'm not famous, this thread is.

And yes, it's all my fault.

I don't know. I bet Neil Gaiman comes over to your house and makes you a spaghetti dinner because this idea is gold.
