(By the way, Greg, I attended a full-contact karate tournament in Kagoshima City two weeks ago. The lower-level black belts had to wear hand pads and helmets. Contact to the face and back would get you a warning. For the most part, it was just a bunch of punches to the chest, and knee jabs to the thighs and sides of the chest. Two of the fighters accidentally touched the opponent’s chin and were given yellow cards. Right afterward, each of them did spinning back kicks that hit their opponents in the side of the head, dropping them like bricks. Medics ran out to the mats, put braces on the necks of the fallen and carried them off on stretchers. The ones doing the kicking won with full “ippon”. So – leaving visible facial scars – bad; sending the opponent off in traction – good.
I nearly didn’t. It’s a fine piece of headwear. I have a photo of myself wearing one at a Reubens’ celebration. I look like some kind of deranged mariachi.
However, I hate that you won’t be there. You’ll miss out on me cosplaying as myself (Hey, I’m a comic character now, it’s a completely legit costume!). 🙂
Yahoo news recently ran a list of stupid iPad accessories that really exist. One was a shirt with a big pocket on the chest to hold the iPad, and a clear vinyl panel so observers can see the screen. The author of the article dissed the shirt, but I think it’d be a great way to build a video screen into your costume. Tailor the shirt so the iPad looks like it’s more a part of it, and then have it sequence through the Hubris strips after a short delay. It’d be the 21st century version of a sandwich board advertisement.
Day one started the mudbog night race
Day Two is everything past then up to the coffee smuggling and the little red wagon race…
Day Three started with the coffee smuggle, the wagon race, and now this…
Allan’s been promoted! Congrats, Allan! (If we lose, it’s your fault…)

Can we do that in the hackey sack event?)
Hackey Sack! WOOO!!!
I don’t know if that’s me TSOJ … I was wearing a sombrero … that COULD be Greg in a dream, wishing he had colour in his hair again. 😛
Sorry, man, that’s your name in the tags…
Tags don’t lie.
Duh! I’m blind, didn’t even LOOK at the tags! *L*
That is me … Thank you Greg, for removing the sombrero.

The one I wore, was a “Frosh Week” sombrero … LOL
BTW Thanks for the “EPIC BEARD!” instead of my scruff.
I love ya man! 😀
Hey Greg, are you going to be at Heroes Con?
Because, yeah, I definitely need a print of this.
Not gonna make it to Heroes this year. Got a couple of family things to deal with. Maybe I can put a print up on Zazzle.
That’d be great!
However, I hate that you won’t be there. You’ll miss out on me cosplaying as myself (Hey, I’m a comic character now, it’s a completely legit costume!). 🙂
Oh, my Dog. That hadn’t occurred to me. How cool! I gotta become a comic character now. It’ll make costuming that much easier.

Oh KEWL for pointing that out. Just put a copy of the strip on your teeshirt and there ya go! Kewl kewl kewl kewl kewl kewl kewl!
Helmet & fire-proof pads for Hackey Sack? That would be AWESOME to watch!’
Yup. And he must have a fire starter of some sort.
I am so there!
Lets get this won and done!
hahahahahahahaha … we’re only in the middles of day two, and it’s taken Greg 13 months to write that. It’s taken 2 months to do day 1 … haha
We’re on day 3.
