xkcd vs. MATT

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

Every generation gets the nerd comic they deserve.

he was pushing on a door that said pull! and he had glasses & it was a SCHOOL FOR THE GIFTED GOD DAMMIT

This needs to be turned into an xkcd comic.

ugh the love romance & sex bits of xkcd make me feel icky and slightly violated

the guy on the right is a hero though

ZINGSTANCE

"she puts her hand over mine, grinds against me, leans down, and whispers, 'LYSOL DOUCHE!!!!'"

ilx needs a wdyllzinging thread

you know people who strike Saturday Night Fever poses when making poorly conceived wisecracks?

Yes, very much. Very queasiness-inducing.

We already had one. There wasn't a whole lot of mileage in it, as I remember.

right, i mean, i wouldn't be bothered if it was eskimo kisses and picnics and shared milkshakes, but something about THE UNIVERSE HAS CONSPIRED TO MAKE YOU MY LADYFRIEND makes me think that this guy totally goes off the deep end when he gets dumped

scary shit

I wonder if his girlfriends always have black hair or if he just has no idea how to draw blondes.

http://xkcd.com/30/

"Patch Adams," about a doctor who believes in treating his patients with humor as well as medicine (and based on a true story), is marginally more enjoyable, but again Williams kicks his mugging and sermonizing into high gear. I disliked "Patch Adams," but when Williams was allowed to be Williams-trapped-in-the-body-of-Patch-Adams, I laughed. As when, trying to woo a fellow medical student, he half hides himself behind a skeleton and waves its arm enthusiastically, calling out, "Donner, party of 50!"

i mean, what is this shit

I literally do not get that at all

xpost to the donners one

This shit sucks. Definitely no Leisure Town. Remember that/????????

xkcd guy is totally a self-styled dread pirate roberts on a tandem bicycle with a crate full of intimidating sextoys powered by a hydrogen generator and i cannot stress how much it creeps me

oh man leisure town was ACE

ok, matt is really unfunny. i don't get the appeal.

that's the point. he's the most anodyne, unfunnny comic I could think of, and xkcd is still worse.

I wrote a paper about leisure town in college

If you don’t read xkcd or have it in your feedreader, then you are not a true Cool Web Person.

Sorry. That’s just an objective fact.

xkcd Gives Me Hope
I'm a huge fan of xkcd. I think it's the very best thing on the web right now, and I secretly want to marry Randall Monroe.

This comic made me smile an awful lot, and I had to share it with everyone.

Randall, if you ever read this, I'm cute and single. Ask me about my math tattoo. And I'm totally willing to move to Boston.

xkcd vs batshit right-wing (minus dan lacey to make it almost fair)
