I'm assuming that's from some arc where he uses the internet to try and kill someone, which begs the question, did he rip of CSI (or whichever show did that) or did they rip off achewood?

It's the one where he makes a USB peripheral that allows you to stab someone over the internet.

Thanks. I know they're not the right colour, but undyed wool is cheaper and I had a lot of it left over from other stuff.

Darth Windu posted:

You take some wool that hasn't been spun into yarn yet, roll it into rough shapes and then jab it with a special needle to shape it. It's called felting because the needles come off of these big industrial machines that are used to make sheets of felt, and they have little barbs along the sides that tangle the fibres together.

The process is really forgiving since you can add extra clumps of wool wherever you need them and the more you have to work it the stronger the end product is going to be. All you really do is stab down every part that doesn't look like the thing you want.

You know, I really love the phrase " You can do whatever you want in life". I've been using it in situations where I think the other person is doing/saying/making a really bad life decision.
To them, it seems like I'm not being critical, but oh ho ho, if you know the context of the reference.

I use it towards a person I know who agonizes endlessly over the most irrelevant of decisions. It's my way of saying "you are consuming more energy talking about this choice than you could possibly stand to gain or save by choosing correctly".

Rereading the archives lately has reminded me how much I miss this strip in my life.

Is the store still going or is it abandoned as well? I kinda want a shirt.

Well, perhaps, but I look at it like " you can do whatever you want in life, but that doesn't mean it a good idea to do so"

Like, Naked Hot tub brawls. You can do that in life, but now you are fighting naked in a hot tub with another guy.

I wonder if the same company that puts out the "Best of Hot Tub Brawls" also puts out a DVD devoted to the worst of hot tub brawls.

So Onstad posted new art to his facebook, and someone asked "Very nice! Did they scrap the animated series or is it still gonna happen? Or is it still in schrodingers production phase?"

The response is "Somewhere between those three. Hollywood is like a junior high school boyfriend: promisey, bonery, and forgetful."

So hey maybe we'll still get a tv show if we hope real hard.
