xkcd vs. MATT

Really? I had the opposite reaction, that PBF-style violent endings can't save a miserable premise.

hmmm, maybe we should have a lively debate!

fucking die

I posted that comic not only because I found it unfunny and the art horrible, but because the idea that you could create sporks in a binary proportion is fucking stupid. Although the fact that I am now questioning whether silverware has mendelian genetics is making me doubt my interest in this

the only stick figure comic worth reading

TRUTH

I'm thinking of sending the next student of mine who sends me this a link to wall of 'ginas.

the purest

yeah well english literature is applied GENIUS

;-)

(also, yeah, you oughta!)

i still really like the moral/message behind the 1st strip here

Every time I think I come up with the definitive counterfeit XKCD, he goes and does something like this

See recent 'geo-hashing' comic for the most blatant bullshit trend-baiting yet GOD why does he make me so angry

so MATT mustve really fallen fast & hard

i dont even see an example strip here anymore

^^^ this!

Just read the entire thread, thinking: who's this MATT?

thanks! i think the twain are incomparable, though.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/matt/ is better

what % of forksclovetofu posts are essentially xkcd?

I told my girl, "If I die tonight and come back as a zombie, promise me that you will allow me to infect you and be my zombie bride."
And she promised. Good for her!

We named the dog Indiana.

HAY GUYYYYYYYS I'M I'M GETTING LAAAAAAAAYED

so lame he didn't go for something more overtly sexual there.

that's what she said

i like to read all the "one last night. take me now." ones remembering that dude looks like
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/XkcdMunroe.jpg/396px-XkcdMunroe.jpg

Shit, which high school massacre perpretrator does he look like?

I think the point is more that he hangs out with people who say "that's what she said!" even when it's appropriate and therefore not funny. As do I (hi there, little brother), so I find it funny.

that is mr xkcd?? he actually doesnt look bad at all esp when you consider the lighting of that pic

xp also unfair dom

It's a little sad to imagine you searching through your .xls "and what".
Lady's a singer friend.

although to answer yr question, dylan klebold

is that a nerf gun on the table behind his OHP?

he looks like the sociopathic kid from my fav episode of third watch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHRO48_SnJs

He looks like a couple of perfectly harmless cross-country runners I knew in school.

he looks like... any of us.

lesson learned.

oh man

A man in a hat who looks like a normal stick-figure xkcd character, except for the addition of his trademark black hat. Referring to himself as a "Classhole" (classy asshole), he is intolerant of internet newbishness. He does not shy from pointing out the foibles in others and has at times used extreme violence in order to emphasize a point.

what is this MATT, anyway?

its apparently this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/matt/

Not quite, but close.

it is true, they are all young white men

So have we talked about Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby yet – other than here: truth bombs

Such fucking shite and a Bostonian (like xkcd dude)

the main thing that bother's me about the poignant guide is how fucking long and badly written it is.

that's the main thing.

guy looks like the reanimator

i dread the future -- photocopied Far Side cartoons posted on faculty office doors become more & more rare and xkcd strips are repopulating that cultural niche

loooool

it turns out wanting something doesnt make it real...

did anyone else ever own a 'far side' t-shirt?

mine was 'midvale school for the gifted'

everyone told me 'how a bird sees the world' was funnier & they were right, in retrospect
