I know a lot of webcomics tease you with vague nudity and even some overtly sexual content. I’m sorry if you’ve come to Hubris for any of that.
‘Cause what you get is Lowell’s butt after a bungie wedgie. And that’s, like, the opposite of sexy.
For those of you in the U.S… yesterday was GroundHog Day. I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and are not now feeling the effects of drinking too much Hog Nog while standing around out-of-doors in the middle of cold and flu season.
For those of you outside the U.S…. GroundHog Day is a day when we wait with held breath to see if a GroundHog (look it up, I swear they’re really called that) will come out of a hole in the ground in some Yankee city somewhere. Mythology tells us that if he sees his shadow, there’ll be six more weeks of winter. Reality tells us that even if the toothy little bastard doesn’t see his shadow, there’s still pretty much six more weeks of winter. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Doesn’t matter, and no one quite ever remembers from year to year, so far as I know. No &%)$. This is what passes for a holiday around here. And then we all watch a Bill Murray movie, which kind of makes up for the rest of it.
You owe me for the sprayed drink on my monitor and keyboard. Greg, this one was… stellar! World Class Atomic Bungie Wedgie!
Lowell may never speak below the octave above high C again.
Massively hoping that Hubris notices a pile of Lowell and gets that form filed. Oh don’t mess this one up, Greg. Lowell can’t help it if it may take him some hours to get a thought to cross his mind again.
You need to stop drinking while reading Hubris. XD
Oops. Forgot hog nog. On it, thanks!
I really, really hope the wedgie doesn’t influence Lowell’s decision, or ability, to upload the 412-page form prior to today’s 5 PM deadline… Paste may have to fork out for Lowell’s lobster after this.
And, can anyone post the recipe for hog nog here? I may repurpose it to inoshishi nog (inoshishi are Japanese wild boars. I’ve seen one within the city limits, apparently it lives on one of the really big hills here near the city center.) I’ll try starting up a Ground Inoshishi holiday, and the nog in a jug might help propel the campaign. “Ground Inoshishi Day! If you get gored and die, it’ll be another 6 weeks of winter. Drink up!”
Hog Nog: Typically vanilla ice cream, melted or or not plus hards of your choice.
KNO3 Hog Nog: For me coffee ice cream plus fireball.
Fireball replacement. Sugar water and a cinnamon stick. Combine with an average or cheap whiskey.
PS: Do not use Suntory whiskey (it will ruin the whiskey), nor Morinaga ice cream (lest ye be scorned by the Phil’s o’ the past. Forsooth!).
Thanks! Challenge will be to find real ice cream (which isn’t whatever it is they use over here for most of the cheaper bars or tiny scoop cups).
Breyers isn’t bad for ‘real’ ice cream. (not Dreyers).
Or find a place that does real hand churn…
Own “Groundhog Day” on DVD, fun to watch. My other favorite holiday video is “Scrooged”, also with Bill Murray. For anyone who gives a crap, a groundhog is a marmot (large squirrel.)
I prefer my Fireball (or other similar cinnamon whiskey) in hot cider, but it goes good elsewhere too (we Minnesotans like hot drinks in the winter.)
Fireball in hot cider? I think I’ll try that. Thanks!
Tom – what part of Minnesota?
(I grew up in St. Paul, then moved to Minneapolis in the late 70’s. Haven’t been back since 1992, though.)
I lived for awhile there too, St. Paul… late 80’s Small Universe
lol. surprised paste was strong enough to pull lowels under wear up for the wedge given how they have to be triple x large. and thankfuly husbris was spared getting a up close view till he sees the video.
Grew up in St. Louis Park, now live in Minnetonka.
