Some downtime...

Well, I've been running around like crazy the past week, trying to tie up any loose ends before I head off to a wedding for the next 4.5 days.

Should be the closest thing I get to a mini-vacation this year.

Anywho, probably won't be posting anything major until next week. I finished our latest CH short...should be posted today. When it's up, I'll send out a newsletter and post it on the site, blag blarg blarf.

Our friend Rich...

Our friend Rich always seems to find new ways to punish/humiliate himself - He worked in a steel mill for half a day before getting the hell out of there, wiped out in front of our house playing football - causing some knee ligament damage (Rich still claims that it was my fault)- here's a recent one involving physical fitness.

"On Saturday late afternoon, Tina decides to go for a run at the Shelton high school track with me and her sister. I had forgotten that she has been training for a 1/2 marathon and now can run 8 miles without sweating. So I run a mile with them, and then go to the football field to do some sprints. In Crossfit format, I do 30 yards, then do 20 pushups. Another 30 yards, then 20 situps. then sprint 40 yards. I do 2 sets of these with no rest, and collapse in the south end zone of sheer exhaustion.

Seeing Tina and her sister still running, I do a gut-check and mosey over to the corner of the stadium where I see some monster truck tires lying around. I decide to dead lift one and flip it over as many times as I can. It's impossible. From the other side of the field, Tina yells "What the hell are you doing?". I respond "They do this on the world's strongest man." She yells in retort "You are nowhere near the world's strongest man. You're an idiot!" I shirk away as others on the field share a laugh.

I woke up Sunday morning and could barely walk. no joke. I think I overdid it."

Andy's reply:
"When i read "monster truck tire" I thought that the next sentence was going to be "...surgery for my torn biceps / herniated disks"

Hank Scorpio

I managed to catch quite possibly my favorite all-time Simpsons episode "You Only Move Twice" - Where Homer starts working for the Globex Corporation and Hank Scorpio.

There isn't a single line of Scorpio's that doesn't crack me up. Definitely my favorite one-time Simpson's character.

And it's not just Scorpio in the episode, but Bart in the special class, Marge is bored, Lisa has allergies...all gold.

I tried to find some clips online but to no avail.

Scorpio:
There's the Hammock Hut. That's on Third. There's Hammocks 'R' Us. That's on Third, too. You got Put Your Butt There. That's on Third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Matter of fact they're all in the same complex. It's the Hammock Complex, down on Third.

Homer:
Oh, the Hammock District?

What I'm up to

More work as usual. Writing the spec script for the Nickelodeon pitch, artwork for this month's CH short, and tons of other stuff blah blah blah...

Feeling a bit under the weather today, so that's it for now.

Oh yeah, I changed the comments setting, so you HAVE TO BE A REGISTERED USER NOW.

This is directly because some retards like to spam. If you don't like it, find out who the spammers are and take it up with them.

Thanks Dad

My dad sent this to me yesterday, simple but makes me laugh.
