My big question is, why is he wearing a tie? I mean, in High School, how many tough guys/bullies did you know that came to school wearing a tie?

He doesn't normally wear a tie, but he dressed up especially nice today because he was planning to ask a pretty girl to go to the prom with him...that dick.

I've changed my mind. The joke is that he gets paid to do this. The joke is on all of us.


Meh, Debussy. Dude was alright. Get some Mussorgsky going and crank the PA for more power.

I get the feeling the reason JJJ's face is projected on the Iron Man outfit is because Stan Lee assumes people will think it's actually Iron Man going after Spiderman if the face isn't always visible. We'd probably forget Peter Parker was Spiderman if he didn't do the half Spiderman face every time his spider sense went off.

Yeah, Piranha Club did the same set-up before 20 years ago, back when it was titled "Ernie".

After they were informed of what they really are by their boss, they decide to sell them anyway because "drug users are idiots".

Eh, given that she's serving a ludicrously awful meal that not even the most health-obsessed nutjob on the planet would ever cook, you might as well give Dustin a pass on this one.

Even if it's only because the alternative was a week of Ed ranting at a checkout clerk in Whole Foods. Which, honestly, we might still get at some point. :(

At least no one is trying to make Dustin commit suicide this week.
And if his wife is so into healthy cooking, why is Ed such a fatass?

I just don't understand Bud Grace's motivation. If he's so lazy that he's recycling plots from his comic's glory days, why does he go through the effort of picking out and destroying anything that resembles humor from them beforehand?

In and of itself, none of that food really sounds at all bad. I think the biggest problem is that she's serving them three side dishes as a full meal.

I was snowblowing a path from my woodpile to my side door the other day when three things exited the chute and hit the side of the house. The sound was like WHAP! WHAP! CLANG!... I put the 'blower in neutral and went to inspect. Hmm... two gloves, and a beer can. They'd apparently been sitting next to the woodpile since last Fall when I was running the log splitter. I've been wondering where those gloves went... :v:
