SHE SAID YES

29 May

After sad­ness cometh joy. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes.

She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes.

In the interest of fairness…

21 May

…I took on a few other icons. Behold Jesus of Nazareth…

…Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha…

…and one Chas. Darwin of Down House.

Wanna guess who gets pissed off? SPOILER: It won’t be the athe­ists, and prob­a­bly won’t be the Buddhists.

If this makes you angry, you’re a moron.

An interesting coincidence

14 Jan

This toon, by Patrick Chappatte and via Cagle, sums up pre­cisely what I think is wrong with “full-​​body” scan­ning at airports.

chappatte

What’s strik­ing is that I was think­ing it just this morn­ing. There is no way that a “body scan­ner” can pos­si­bly tell you any­thing about the per­son being scanned. Reliance on tech­nol­ogy to pro­vide us “safety” or “secu­rity” is a fool’s path, and will fail us. Machines can always be out­smarted — and the trained chimp run­ning the machine is even eas­ier to get past.

I hate to have to admit it…

06 Jan

…but this lit­tle polit­i­cal toon by Cam Cardow is a hell of a lot closer to the mark than I would’ve believed, at this same time last year.

Worth passing along

04 Nov

For those of you unfa­mil­iar with the back­story, an Iranian man liv­ing in Arizona ran over — and killed — his 20-​​year-​​old daugh­ter because he said she was get­ting to be “too westernized”.

He was, of course, Muslim.

Now before you get twitchty about this, it’s hap­pened with all right-​​wing god­tards. The Christians are every bit as bad. They even go to church, just to shoot doc­tors.

Of course, it wasn’t a group of Christians that flew those planes into the WTC, and it’s not Christian ter­ror­ists that have cells all over the Middle East.

Anyway, some­thing from Steve Benson via Cagle. It nicely sums up why the US will never be able to get along with fun­da­men­tal­ists in gen­eral, and Islamic fun­da­men­tal­ists in particular.

Café scrawlings

11 Sep

I know, I know. Beasts of Delphos. I know! I will get back there. Crossconversting some parts of the text to HTML proveth tricky. Besides, I spent most of this week down with what I strongly sus­pect was the flu, and not just any flu, but H1N1 itself.

Why? Well, it hit me fast, and it hit me hard. Wasted no time at all stam­ped­ing directly into my lungs, and it par­tied there most might­ily. It cer­tainly wasn’t a cold, and given the pan­demic sta­tus of novel H1N1, well, you know. The odds are in my favor, if you want to look at it that way.

Anyway, I’m look­ing at some pos­si­bil­i­ties for a logo rework on some­thing, and drew a cou­ple things into my trusty Moleskine at the local café this evening. I fig­ured I’d share them with you. To begin, we have a quail.

BofD is late, I know.

Issues with the inter­net con­nec­tion have kept me from my Friday update. Ideally they’ll be resolved today. Meanwhile, here’s a lovely car­toon from Cagle’s pad. Bill Day got it on the nose.

One of these things is not like the others…

17 Jul

…which one is dif­fer­ent, do you know?

Can you tell me which thing is not like the others?

And I’ll tell you if it is so.

You know it’s only a mat­ter of hours before the op-​​ed car­toons start, fea­tur­ing Cronkite, Armstrong and MJ together on the Moon. Only one of them doesn’t deserve to be lion­ized. You guess which one I mean.

Okay, Okay.

I’ll stop whining.

Like hell I will. 107 degrees — and stormy. Can you begin to imag­ine the kind of humid­ity that means?
