When and where I was in high school, there were a number of young men who gauged the success of their weekends based on the number of beers that were drunk.
It led to conversations like this:
“Hey, man, you know how much fun we had this weekend man? We had three cases of beer, man, that’s how much fun we had, man!
I realize that, written out, it hardly seems to be a conversation. My part of it, though, was pretty much just nodding, and trying to look like I knew what in hell they were talking about.
Also, The National Cartoonist Society nominations for the various divisions of the Reuben awards were announced. I’m nominated for Newspaper Illustration, for which I’m very proud. I didn’t get a nomination in the ‘long-form online comic’ award for my work on Hubris. There is some stiff competition, of course, but I still think that we can get there one day. It might take voodoo or something, but I’m game.
We’ll get you there some day. Maybe for bobbing-for-golfballs-in-a-pail-of-earthworms?
Sounds like a good Outdoorfest in the wings.
Good luck, Greg! I’m sticking needles into the NCS committee right now, as I type this!
Can you get me another beer?
Wanna come over and start practicing for full-contact mixed shuffleboard?
We had a pipe break last month, resulting in a flood in our basement. After they sucked out the water and removed the carpet, we discovered we have a shuffleboard court built into the tile that was under the carpet. Who knew? Sadly, it too will have to be removed, but until the contractors come, there it is!
Who’s bringin’ the beer?
so the ice is for all their pain right? hehe
SO HAPPY TO SEE PARKOUR on the list!
also well congratulation Greg )
I have added spikes to my life vest for this year’s match!! Just have to figure out the self impaling portion and I’m good to go!!
If male twins compete would they be the Parkour Brothers?
Mabey the Hazard Bros. Hazbros if you’re hip.
Uh … Greg? It should be 4 leg race … because if it was 5 … then someone would have to be missing a leg and it’d be four racers.
So can you draw a napkin pic of how the 5 legged race works? Thanks!
It’s a Speedo-themed mens three legged race. So, ya know, five legs…
I sketched it out… again, just to make sure I didn’t do it wrong when I wrote the gag. Four people. Any two legs neighboring are attached. That means that only the two people on the outside of the line of people have an untethered leg. Five “legs” total. The two poor souls in the middle are bound up on either side. It doesn’t look like a good idea. Allan, you will be one of the inside people!!!
You were right … my brain wasn’t.
