Comic Con is pretty awesome.  Heryer, you'd love the Nintendo booth.  It is super awesome.  Also, apparently, if you comment on our Laugh Tracks blog and *don't* put something snide about Flash in there, you are not a real man.  They are so clever, our detractors...

Booyah.

Editor's Pick: The Return

Sometimes, people steal pens.  It's not cool, it's not a joke - it's an office prank that can haunt you long after the ink has gone dry.

While I try to cope with the loss of Little Scribbly, please enjoy these comics.

Imagine, if you can, a lost pen montage.  Perhaps a close shot of a hand clutching a blue ballpoint pen.

Soft harp music plays in the background as notes are taken.

Blaring brass heralds the fall and eventual doom of Little Scribbly.  The pen falls, in slow motion, onto the floor.  Something obscures the camera for a moment!  The pen is now gone.

Editor's Pick demo

Welcome.  I, and I alone, go through the day's comics and pick what I think are the three funniest strips, all in the pursuit of making things easier for you.  Unfortunately, they're ultimately what are funny to me.  Suckers!

Maybe you won't agree with me, maybe you'll think that my sense of humor is either non-existant or offensive, but maybe, just maybe, you'll giggle.

If this were a restaurant menu, perhaps today's specials would be described as "jubilant," "saucy," or "bewildering."

  Oh, snap.

Swimsuits at the park

I, for one, am glad about the beautiful spring weather and awesome temps (exept inside the office of course..), but there's one thing I hope we do not see this spring/summer. I desperately hope that the man with the bright hot pink speedo swimsuit does not grace us with his suntanning presence down at Mill Creek Park. It was very entertaining and John was tempted to take a picture with his cell phone. But you know, it's just an image you don't need resonating in your mind...

Freak out!

This Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be

            01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.  You may now return to your normal stuff.

Who is going to stay up and post a report on this once in a lifetime event?

This is what happened today in the office

Sometimes people don't know, and I am here for you, people who don't know!  I am here to present you with information!

Some partner company sent Derek a little radio-controlled car, which made lots of noises (it idled!  it had a car alarm!  it made the little "beep beep" that happens when you lock doors!) and it was very amusing (to almost everyone).  We need another one, though.  Racing is important.

A baby was brought to work!  It's very adorable, and looks like "a real boy" (said Scott).  We learned that the robot toy on my desk would work well as a man-purse, and the wee lad enjoyed picking it up and handing it back.  Very polite child!  Also, apparently, little A has "rubber band hands."  It's a real phrase, I guess, used by cruel adults to describe tiny child arms and hands.

Today is a Friday!  We all are highly focused and motivated!

In other news, the Korma Sutra has delicious Indian food, and it was very sunny today.

...and Cori has materials about careers in Social Welfare, for those of you who are finishing up your graduate work in that field.

Tune in next time...

question about babies

can they be washed in Palmolive along with dishes?  It's supposed to be a very gentle soap...I was just curious.

Jimmy Buffett

So, did anyone embarrass him or herself with too many margaritas at the Friday afternoon party? Or turn into a little strawberry?
