It's an Ultimate Warrior memorial comic which has been edited so that every text box contains a horrible thing Warrior said.

Honestly, if I sustain so many repeated injuries as UW did, I can only hope to intelligibly say something which offends some people.

This is a drawback of hallucinogens and marijuana, as taught to me by my middle school's anti-drug agenda.

Also a mushroom is only the fruiting body of the fungus and the majority of the fungus lies below ground.

It's funny because wrestling is the homosexualistest type of performance art ever devised. As superstar Goldust once said, wrestling is gayer than some gay sex.

It's pretty obviously a parody of all the trite "Calvin as a grown-up" comics on the internet. How do they not make sense in that context? (well I guess the third panel is just filler.)

Well, the third panel helps to continue the escalating amount of tears in every panel. First no tears, then one, then many, then the family's crying, then the gravestone and T-Rex are too, then Lady Liberty, Calvin, Hobbes, and the Chevy logo are all spilling a halo of tears and maybe piss too.

Given that in the last panel Calvin is relieving himself and the "tears" are everywhere, I think it is more likely they represent urine and/or bladder sensations. This also explains escalating amount in each panel.

I think that was a joke on the way goons love to champion the "death of the author" school of artistic interpretation, wherein what the author may or may not have intended to do with the art means absolutely nothing to the interpreter. This is usually an approach used to justify psychoanalyzing the creator(s) from an "objective" vantage point rather than just admit they want to be nasty to an artist, or less commonly a way to interpret art that doesn't require any external research on the part of the consumer because "objectivity."

If there's one thing goons can get into huge arguments about at the drop of a hat, it's DotA. No forum is safe.

He should be happy to re-roll. Have you looked at gnolls? -2 skill penalties almost all across the board. I guess one of their racial features is ineptitude?

Also, I think they only live around 20 or 30 years, so after 10 years of working there he probably had one foot in the grave already.
