So, obviously, everyone here is going to think likewise.<br /><br />Although the current Anon is acting like (and might be) a troll, criticism is fairly frequent here and it's either made fun of or shot down almost immediately. Even criticism that doesn't quite fit on the bingo chart regularly pops up. So, dealing with that more respectively, when applicable, would be admittedly pretty nice to see.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-82459736381953325672009-08-31T23:10:21.098-07:002009-08-31T23:10:21.098-07:00we could stop sitting in a circle, like we are doi...we could stop sitting in a circle, like we are doing. you know. just as a start.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-56929035681183930822009-08-31T19:10:04.768-07:002009-08-31T19:10:04.768-07:00See, it's also not a circlejerk.

A dog whines because it's hungry etc. You want something to change.<br /><br />Who the fuck are we <i>whining</i> to on this blog? Randall? The fans? Yeah, no. They CHOOSE to come and read this crap. Most of us are perfectly content to bitch at empty air.<br /><br />I don't care if they insult me, I know it's not true.

But 2...That is the <i>exact same joke</i>. Good eyes Mal.<br /><br />But 209 did it far, far better. First, it makes much more sense. I can't really imagine anyone prefacing every sentence like that (and there has got to be a better line to use than "Are there any bagels left?"). Second, he did what all good comic writers do: he put an extra joke in after the punchline ("it goes over water, too!").<br /><br />Admittedly, the alt-text slightly redeems the actual comic. It's an actual joke (a rare strain of alt-text), and it's a direct extension of the comic, not some weird little vignette or half-'tarded math lesson.Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980842100786408132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-45994492408839384792009-08-30T22:44:17.430-07:002009-08-30T22:44:17.430-07:00and you are apparently too much of a dumbass to re...and you are apparently too much of a dumbass to realize that you don't have to register to post with a name?rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-2972847234879557302009-08-30T22:43:38.309-07:002009-08-30T22:43:38.309-07:00Joe said: "This is a message to all the Anony...Joe said: "This is a message to all the Anonymous out there.
