Comics 884 and 885: A Trip Into Randy's Deranged Mind
884. Randy is a man who lives a rich, milk-oriented fantasy life. He frequently comes up with all sorts of fantasies, most of which involve Megan in some way, and, as a man whose mind goes where it will, sometimes his mind takes him down the road to what will happen when eventually Stockholm syndrome kicks in and Megan relents to his endless advances.
"Oh yeah, we'll have a kid and it'll be a girl and she'll be fucking hot, like porn star hot," he moans to himself as he pours himself another glass of milk. He tries to drink it in such a fashion that it gives him a milk mustache. He imagines the mustache is Megan's.
His mind refuses to relinquish this thought. Randy promptly grabs a pen and begins drawing his hypothetical daughter as a porn star--completely naked, of course, as is the usual case with XKCD women--but then he realizes that this amazingly sexy and milk-endowed woman he is envisioning is his daughter! He must come up with a way to distance himself from these thoughts! And he has to make it funny to his audience. What's something unsexy that everyone loves?
Mr. Rogers! Let's go with that. Wasn't there some game where you came up with your porn star name? It involved streets or some shit, right? Cool, comic done. Back to masturbating to your hypothetical daughter.
885. Randy wants to let everyone know that he recycles, of course, but he also wants to let everyone know that the people at the recycling center have compiled an elaborate dossier on him, based on the things they gather from his house. They have even accurately concluded that he is what is colloquially referred to as an "asshole."
He is inaccurate in how they came to this conclusion, of course. He assumes it is because he is only intermittently concerned with making the recyclists' (do you like that? I just made that up right now) job easier that they have concluded this. Really it is mostly because every available surface he recycles has the word 'Megan' written on it, over and over and over again--and inflicting your creepiness on the poor people at the recycling center is pretty much the biggest dick move out there, next to possibly maintaining a hate blog for a comic you don't really even care about.

ReplyDeleteYou just mad Rob because you didn't get the first four posts in the Web's most popular hate blog.
ReplyDeleteyeah :(
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMe: "Hey, my xkcdsucks RSS feed finally updated! Let's see what we've got. With all this time, Rob's bound to have come up with some quality material."
ReplyDeletexkcdsucks: "Randy is a man who lives a rich, milk-oriented fantasy life."
Me: "What the balls."
i'm glad you liked my line
ReplyDeleteDamn it Rob, now I'm masturbating to Randall's hypothetical daughter.
ReplyDeletewell, atleast Rob doesn't kill his own jokes, these last few "reviews" have been so bad that the material they are "reviewing" looks good by comparison.
ReplyDeleteserously though, i chuckled at 885, if you have ever worked in a shitty job you know those kinds of thoughts DO go through your head, and as much as i hate GOOMH strips.... yeah.
You forgot how much of an arse he is for saying "given how much of my stuff they go through..." like he has to tell the world that he recycles and wants a fucking medal for it. He's like the people who get up for work at 6 every morning and can't stop talking about it at every available opportunity. I hate them.
ReplyDeleteI get up at two in the morning. I'd be late for work if I didn't, but I'm still very proud of it indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat about you, Randall? Ever worked, or is checking your email at NASA the closest you've ever come to doing so?
I worrked at ahh burger macdonakd's one tiem!
ReplyDeleteBravo Rob, you exceeded all my expectations in creepification of 884.
ReplyDeleteDon't think you people are fooling anyone. Too weak to be jocks, never been good at any sports, but you've all secretly wished to be one. So you satisfy your needs by hiding on the internet and bully nerds from the distance like cowards. Too bad Randall is smarter and more successful than any of you yappy mutts will ever be.
ReplyDeleteRob returns with a 'review' that proves he's as much of a failure and an embarrassment to the xkcdsucks brand as ever.
ReplyDeleteRob, you're an awful writer with no talent and your contrived "I don't care" attitude doesn't hide it.
We're too weak to be jocks
ReplyDeleteAnd too dumb to be geeks
Too fat to be cheerleaders
And can't play in a band
We don't belong with anyone
So we form our own club
Where we can hate some comic
On the Internets.
Because rhyming is hard.
You people disgust me, with your pathetic attempts to discredit Randall by portraying him as some kind of lazy, incompetent sex pervert. But I know, this is only a projection of your own deranged souls, onto Randall's infinitely magnanimous being. Every line Randall draws makes him more money than you do in a month, Rob, and your contempt is clearly just a misguided attempt to hide your jealous admiration, as Randall is brilliant, wise, funny and beautiful. He is everything you've ever wanted to be but couldn't because of your chicken like mind and manatee shaped body. You mock xkcd, because if you allowed yourselves to truly imbibe in its staggering profundity, the tentative grasp you hold on your delusions of competence would break, and you would be left with nothing but the knowledge that you have failed in every way imaginable.
ReplyDeleteSo, have fun. Keep living in the lie you call a life, but know that your self-deception will not continue forever, and that one day, the ground falls out beneath you, you will beg Randall Munroe to forgive you for all the suffering your wretched lies have cause him. But he will only laugh as you prostrate yourselves before him like sinners begging Jesus to save their souls even as they know it is too late. I'm giving you a chance; repent while you still can.

ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is this shit?
Anon 2:33,
ReplyDeleteknow of subtlety?
@Anon2:30
ReplyDeleteYou're experiencing what is commonly known as "taking shit a little too seriously."
Nearly everyone who reads this probably also reads XKCD - it sort of falls into the category of "all publicity is good publicity," because since when has angry ranting ever changed anyone's mind about anything?
That last line was pointed at you too. Now go take your blood pressure meds. Christ.
"...manatee shaped body."
ReplyDeleteI laughed.

ReplyDeletegod I wish you'd stop these stupid stories
ReplyDeletethey're not funny, they're not insightful, they're just creepy
not creepy in a "haha yeah randall sure is creepy right," creepy in a "holy shit you are obsessed with randall" way
It seems like Randy hasn't used the name "Megan" in quite a while. I can't even remember the last time a character was actually referred to as "Megan." Is it possible that he's seen sites like this and has decided to never again use the name "Megan," lest he be seen as a creepy stalker? I realize that he knows about xkcdsucks, but he's also said he doesn't look at it...but does he? I don't know why else he'd stop using the name "Megan." Or maybe it's just my imagination. When is the last time he actually referred to "Megan" in a strip?
ReplyDeleteWe're da XSB, born to hate,
ReplyDeleteAn' we get mo' pussy than you can contemplate,
Rob, lay down a beat so's we can step,
Get ready for da motherfuckas wi' da rep.
I work a nine-to-five, pimpin' hos to nerds,
ReplyDeleteI make 'em feel alive when they felt disturbed,
Capn's here to keep dat pussy crunchin',
All covered in milk but still ready for munchin'.
Step back, boys, I roll with the XSB,
ReplyDeleteYou bitches ain't got nuttin' on Ravenzomg,
You fuck wi' me an' I'll stick you up in a slashfic,
Robdall fillin' yo ass wi' sick dick.
I'm Ann Apolis, doctor of pain,
ReplyDeleteI operate on cuddlefish balls and brains,
Anyone who gets loose gets the Goose,
I'll fuck em up the ass til they feel Abtruse.
When I step up in da room I make y'all niggas fists itch,
ReplyDeleteCos my style is tight and all o' dem bitches
Are up on ma dick XKCD Suckin',
That's why they call me The Kitten Of Fuckin'
Welp, that's an hour of my life I'm never getting back.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to including the comics in the post? Now I need to visit Randy's webpage...
ReplyDeleteI have a confession to make.
ReplyDeleteI... liked Rob's review.
Captcha: Tonic. If only that meant something I could make some kind of joke.
I'm Charles Augustus Fortescue.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I here? I've really little clue
But before you object, let me give you this knowledge:
You're Reddy Brek, I'm a proper bowl of porridge.
Anyone else reckon Carl wishes he'd sampled some of Rob's writing before he handed the website over?
ReplyDeleteXkcdSucks now is like those three Doors albums they released after Jim Morrison died.
Carl is on his honeymoon in the Bahamas, his face buried in the cleavage of the new Thai bride he bought with the ad revenue. He no longer cares what's going on here.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has mentioned there's no reason why Randall specifies the street in Cambridge, Ma, as opposed to any other Rogers Street. I think it's so that one lucky xkcd fan who lives on that street can say "GOOMHR, I live here!!!"
ReplyDeleteActually having written that down I realise how stupid that is. Randall would have got far more GOOMHR if he hadn't specified a city. Silly Randall, HIRE ME AS YOUR EDITOR.
XSB rap = best thing to happen to this comment thread.
ReplyDeleteEVER.
Also, comics are dull and stupid. But that's not really of any importance.
CAPTCHA: tredd. I'mma call Judge Tredd to correct this shit!
What what, it's the G repping XSB,
ReplyDeletePutting all the hate on xkcd.
The reviews I write have insult and insight,
Fighting the blight of the nerds' White Knight.
Couldn't be bothered to make a doppleganger rhyme for me, eh Superkitten?
ReplyDeleteI AM THE LAW.
ReplyDeleteOf this comment thread.
That is all.
'm Pro-mole 'n 'm here to say
ReplyDeleteI pull more bitches then the N-W-A
When I'm not mackin' mad puss-y
I'm keepin' it real at webcomics dot me
It took me an hour to do those ones, Gamer, an hour I really, really shouldn't have wasted.
ReplyDeleteI regret nothing though.
Gamer two thousand up in dis shit
ReplyDeleteBetta step off before yo' ass get lit
I can be reasonable, yes it's true
But all of those cuddlefish get a big FUCK YOU
I am Aquarius and I like to fuck
ReplyDeleteother than that my rhymes just suck
If you try fucking me, and I get nada
I'll bite off ur cock with my vagina dentatta
I think you should concentrate on how XKCD sucks and not on Randy's pitiful persona. After all, Elton John is too a despicable homo, but we love him regardless, right?
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I will be picking up the latest Beastie Boys album.
ReplyDeleteSince the only rap I enjoy is rap by white people or jews.
Captcha: butfu, the ancient honorable art of being a homo
I think both the recent comics were very not good and not in anyway funny, but I admit that I've thought the same thing as presented in 885, so at least points to that one for being relateable?
ReplyDeleteAlso:
Yes Goga, my thoughts exactly, minus the (sarcastic?) homophobic aspect of it.
But I did lol at your post Rob, even though I usually really dislike troll reviews, good job.
This is seriously the most despicable thing I've ever seen with these eyes, and I was blind for the first 15 years of my life. You are all scum who've probably never even dated a girl, contributing nothing to this wonderful world except for necrotic decay and lactiferous bile.
ReplyDeleteYou're clearly just jealous of Randall's magnificent creations while you cannot even create your own work, because you're all just talentless hacks and jerks to boot.
But I don't care what you do on your own, because I know that even though you don't have a single clue, that the fires of Hell will, in the end, consume each and every last one of you.
Wait, are these condescending commenters still just blog members with nothing better to contribute, or are the XKCD shippers actually taking that much time out of their girl-devoid existence to post arguments on a site dedicated to meaningless criticism and trolling like the Aspies they are? 'Cause I was assuming the first, but I don't know any more.
ReplyDelete....Oh, and "zing" soyoucan'tsayI'mmean.
Awww. ravEnonymous thinks he's making a difference in the world. That's adorable.
ReplyDeleteEven if it is just Kitten trolling.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why other actual Xkcdsucks members hate Rob's story reviews. Gamer_2k4, you should know by now that there is usually little left to actually say about the comic. I am disappointed in you.
ReplyDeleteRob, I love your reviews and I want to keep reading them forever.
But I'm not going to Xkcd ever again after 888, and I'm never even going to read ANY Xkcd strip again after 900. So, please, for me, put more effort into your stories in the coming reviews.
First post!!!
ReplyDelete@ravEnonymous
ReplyDeleteObvious strawman is obvious.
My god.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't just trolls trolling.
This is trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls. Seriously, there has to be at least 15 layers here.
I salute you all.
I'm pretty sure there's a layer of actual butt-hurt xkcd fans in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteYo my name's ravEnonymous and I'm really just jealous
ReplyDeleteOf this awesome hate blog created by you good fellas
So before I fuck off let me say now
That I've been on the internet longer than my mum will allow
@Jon Levi: Well that IS the point, or I wouldn't have made the name so obvious, would I?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I would because I'm a vanity whore, right. Right.
REMEMBER TO FEED THE TROLLS
ReplyDeleteOm nom nom.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE KIND OF STRIFE I LIVE FOR
ReplyDeleteI think it was Kitten because he knows you like puns and obviously wants in your pants.
ReplyDeleteI was going say that Rob was a creepy, milk-obsessed fucker and all that, but looking at this comment thread it's obvious this place is crashing and burning.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy what time you have left here.
*Raises hand* Okay, the second ravEnonymous was done by me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough how do you know. This could be a doppelganger posing an Jon Levi. The real Jon Levi could be... uh fine. I've never really been doppelganged. *sigh*
Cuddlefish here representin' like no otha'
ReplyDeleteWe all be gettin off makin' jokes 'bout yo' motha'
Sucka's be talkin' bout' milk and megan
We'll be in th' echochamber where Randy's cock we'll be beggin'
The answer is blogger accounts. Then even if SOMEONE [who are we kidding?] uses your display-pic/display name/changes the profile info, you are always "_____-##". EG: I am Ravenzomg-58.
ReplyDeleteGranted, the above can still fool the less observant birds.
erection
ReplyDeleteoh my god this is now officially the worst place ever on the internet ever since some fucker decided to post lousy verses
ReplyDeleteworst? or best?
ReplyDeleteBest. Definitely the best.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to say that I would quite like to get into Raven's pants.
ReplyDeleteWhy not Ann or ALT-F? Why don't they get any love?
ReplyDeleteAnn be man
ReplyDeleteALT-F be salt chef
Those two are dudes.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha: coansub, a Buddah for a day.
Because Alt-F is self-admitted paedo and I'm keeping Ann to myself.
ReplyDeleteNext question?
BEST place. The reviews are getting better and better.
ReplyDeletervnozmg will you run for president
You can't tie me down like that, Raven.
ReplyDeleteIgnore that. You can tie me down any way you like.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not so immodest as to put my credentials right there in my name.
ReplyDeleteThe avatar pic does the job fine.

I measured mah dick and it came out to 220
Yo my name's Jon Levi and I'm here to say
ReplyDeleteThat I got got doppelganged on XSB today
It felt kinda neat to have someone wearin' my persona
Though I'd rather not be sayin' that it gave me a boner
They call me Big Rob cos I fill up a room,
ReplyDeleteI'll consume Big Macs til mah heart is entombed
In lard made hard by years of hate,
I disregard 'tards 'n put reviews up late.
Yo, I'm M.C. Quine and I'm here to say,
ReplyDelete"Yo, I'm M.C. Quine and I'm here to say!"
The review for 884 is hysterical.
ReplyDelete@MC Quine
ReplyDeleteYou shut your whore mouth.
Jesus why is there no comic yet? RANDY I NEED SOMETHING TO BE ANGRY ABOUT.
ReplyDeleteToday's Ctrl Alt Del is full of racism.
ReplyDeleteSeries of Small Jokes > one actual joke? You decide.
ReplyDeleteI smiled at some of them so okay. Ignoring the lack of art ['cause this probably took longer than most "art" "comics" he makes], it's half-amusing which is 40-50% further along the way towards amusing than normal.
Points!
Wall of fucking text. I'm not reading this shit comic.
ReplyDelete886 is kind of amusing. Not great, but it was amusing. If this were Randy's B- comic I'd still be reading his comic with sincerity instead of oh-so-hip irony.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine the Megan jokes to come.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.webcitation.org/5xxLDkIss
ReplyDeleteWhen I imagine Megan jokes I come.
ReplyDeleteFucking awful. It's like watching a terrible stand up comedy act. I'm having bad flashbacks, because we have a lot of these in Russia.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gamer_2k4 and Professional Mole. I've given credit to both of you, which I can remove if you want. Thanks for the help.
ReplyDeletehonestly
ReplyDeletei kind of liked the "is a submarine" one
oh my god i just looked at apartments on craigslist too
ReplyDeletegoomhr
but if randall's fans enjoy the "oh, you didn't like that joke? well how about this one!" model, why change it?
http://www.cad-comic.com/images/Strip1630.png
ReplyDeleteNEVER FORGET
3:39 - hmm, there is a different one on the site. WTF. Somebody should've webcited it.
ReplyDeleteThat link is one Buckley put up himself, along with some rapid backpedalling:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cad-comic.com/
I had no idea buckley was that much of a stupid fuckhead. Here's the deal, timmy: the reason its funny when standup comedians do stereotype humor (in most cases) is because their punchline is more than "ha ha black people steal", it satirizes the stereotypes. For reference look no further than Chris Rock's genius "niggers vs black people" sketch. Furthermore, most of the comedians who perform racial humor are minorities, because as carlin himself put it, "we know richard pryor isn't a racist when he uses that word, cause he's a nigger!" A stereotype joke falls flat when its from a member of the oppressing party. And its a testament to your stupid fuckheadery that I even have to spell this out.
ReplyDelete"I had no idea buckley was that much of a stupid fuckhead."
ReplyDeleteyou didnt? the abortion storyline didnt tip you off? or all the other stupid shit its had over the years?
*miscarriage, whatever.
ReplyDelete@ Timofei
ReplyDeleteThe original can be found on the site. There's a link posted underneath the new comic at the end of the wall of text.
Fucking awful. It's like watching a terrible stand up comedy act. I'm having bad flashbacks, because we have a lot of these in Russia.
ReplyDeleteIn Russia you have lots of bad flashbacks, or lots of terrible stand up comedy acts? Both?
Insert Smirnoff Soviet Russia joke.
Halcyon: well, that's pretty respectable of him. Randy never acknowledges when he changes the comic.
ReplyDeleteRaven: I meant bad stand up comedians of course. I realized the potential for confusion right after I made my post, but decided against making a follow up on such a trivial thing.
DO YOU HEAR THAT RANDALL?!
ReplyDeleteTIM B^UCKLEY ACKNOWLEDGES HIS DO OVERS!
TIM B^UCKLEY HAS BECOME MORE RESPECTABLE THAN YOU!
... just fucking end yourself.
start getting Dick Clark out of his iron long ...
ReplyDeleteReboot does a Redux countdown: 10
Newest SMBC: quite funny, though the structure of the joke means there isn't really a punchline (obviously the frayed knot bit looks like one, but you know that's going to happen, and the ACTUAL joke is the whole conversion to action scene thing) so it loses something.
ReplyDeleteI did laugh out loud at the votey though. (Maybe the votey is fulfilling the role of punchline in the original comic, hence it being where I laughed? HUMOUR ANALYSIS)
CAPTCHA: restr. A Web 2.0 hotel booking service.
Randall is clever and cool enough to avoid the cliché of "When all else fails, do a penis joke", because he's way past that.
ReplyDeleteHis mantra is another one: "When all else fails, do a lot of references".
The forumites say the "square house" may be a Minecraft joke. Is it possible? THREE jokes about Minecraft in rapid succession? Oh, holy crap.
The forumites are stupid, useless human trash.
ReplyDeleteThey're like children, nothing they say matters.
Seriously, you guys? Are you going to denigrate an entire group of people like that just because they like something you don't? There's REALLY no reason for you to go into the xkcd forums if you don't like it. And just for the record, it is full of funny and intelligent people.
ReplyDeleteOh, and don't bother pointing out the irony of me coming here to say that. I'm not the one outright insulting people for no reason.
Awww. moliphant thinks he's making a difference in the world. That's adorable.
ReplyDelete@moliphant
ReplyDeleteProtip: I'm a singular, not a plural.
And yes I will denigrate an entire group of people like that, because:
a) I'm a terrible human being, and that is par for the course.
b) It amuses me.
c) wut I did thar?
d) This is the internet.
e) You guys do a great job denigrating yourselves, you don't need any help from me ;)
Not really. It's actually kind of annoying and pointless. You're just not going to make us feel bad, ever.
ReplyDeleteThough if you're a troll, you can make us feel mad. People around here are pretty stupid about falling for the trolls.
Reading comprehension much?
ReplyDeletee) You guys do a great job denigrating yourselves, you don't need any help from me ;)
Kind of ironic there, Capn. It isn't me posting at 9:54. They were on your side in fact, so maybe you should learn to read properly.
ReplyDeleteThat said, you made it pretty clear you are just typical internet trolls. Everyone seems to think that just because they're on the internet, they can act like they want. No-one here would act like this to someone in real life.
I would. I punched a baby yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a female baby.
A female baby who was holding a kitten.
And she had down syndrome.
ReplyDeleteCaptcha: dowit. Dowit, faggot!
Yep. The kitten.
ReplyDeletelol @ cuddlefish opinions counting for or against anything.
ReplyDeleteMabe if the forumites weren't such terrible people, Ann wouldn't have to punch so many babies.
Stop being terrible people xkcd forum, the babies will thank you.

ReplyDeleteracists are funny because they don't know they're racist. s/funny/sad/
on the other hand, xkcd forumites are idiots. don't get me wrong, some of my best friends enjoy xkcd (somehow). s/idiots/nazi pedophiles/
If it weren't for people like Buckley I wouldn't be aware of half these crazy stereotypes about American niggers. Never has a minority generated such an intricate reputation. They're like a modern mythological monster.
ReplyDeleteTim said he produced THREE versions. Your loveable Raven has tracked down the third, which was never shown because in the end Tim thought it too disrespectful to his audience.
ReplyDeleteBehold the unbeholdable! If you don't get it I'm not explaining it, but if you don't get it, why are you on this site??
I didn't get any of the references (other than the Death Star, and Pripyat after I looked it up), but I still found this so funny in a surrealistic way that I laughed so hard that it hurt each of the four times that I read through it.
ReplyDeletethis is impressively late, but i have been busy so fuck all of you

Today, Abtruse Goose is...
ReplyDeleteactually pretty funny.
Huh.
Actually it's not. It's not really actively awful either, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired (I get that the long, drawn-out, repetitious nature is supposed to emphasise that it's nagging and all, but there must be ways of showing that that don't kill the momentum).
ReplyDeleteBut there is an actual attempt to make a humourous statement there, so I guess give him credit for that.
I didn't find it very funny at all- and I quite like Abtruse Goose.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.myvideo.de/watch/7194759/Loriot_Das_Ei_is_Hart
ReplyDeleteAbstruse Goose is basically the same thing as this classical German cartoon from the 80s, only less funny, and with less pronounced characters.
I think we should talk about classical German comics in here more often.
And which Ann Apolis is the right one? I'm confused.
@5:35 - That would be me. If you mouseover my name, the blogger profile number that comes up in the URL should end in -64.
ReplyDelete@5:08 - You are a very confused individual.
(DOUBLE FACEPALM AT THE XKCDSUCKS COMMENT BOX, PLEASE!)
ReplyDeleteWow, Abstruse Goose devolved into newspaper comic humor! That's The Lockhorns, only with slighly worse art!
And if he was just going to copy-paste 7 panels, he should as well bother drawing the background on them.
Oh, and xkcd is boring, trite and full of references. As I call it, the "throw as many jokes at your reader as fast as you can until they give up and just laugh" approach to humor. Goodness...
The correct Ann Apolis is me; I end in -01, my question is about having water in my ear, and (most convincingly) my blog Radio Ember is url'd at radioember.blogspot.com rather than aquarianlovetofuck.blogspot.com . I've also had an account since April '09 rather than February '11.
ReplyDeleteAnn is always number 1. =D
ReplyDeleteBaby Got Dorsum
ReplyDeleteI like steatopyga and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
It's aquarianslovetofuck.blogspot.com and the account started in Nov. '06 and ended 4 months later (I went to a pay site) and I never impersonate anyone, ever.
Innit?
RAVANN 4EVER
ReplyDeleteLooks like the doppelganging has run out of juice. Guess I'll just start writing XSB slashfic.
ReplyDeleteRaven/Ann is the obvious choice here, but Capn/ALT-F is giving me some interesting ideas...
Also, pay site?
One must pay for the privilege of spritzing my word salads Delirium Tremens.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough subscriptions are never renewed.
Dear Capn I know you love me so
But I'd rather peer into my beer.
You know I'd be there working on your ass

Inint?
There are so many people on the xkcd forum saying "GOOMH" on the basis that they recently went through house/apartment hunting. The acronym is meaning less and less all the time. By the end of the year people will be GOOMHing every comic that was written in the same language that they speak on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteGOOMH, Anon3:06! I was just thinking that very thing about the forums!
ReplyDeleteYou should make a webcomic.
GOOMH, Anon3:37! I was just thinking about webcomics!

IN WHICH I EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH BETTER I AM. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.
ReplyDeleteTitle: Children of an Ideal Brain
Why am I writing this, they can't even read. Not really.
A man executes a piece of art, perfectly formed and designed. It is one of many. This is his job but the pay is irrelevant. He wouldn't want to disappoint, if he were able. He is an expert, a genius, a visionary. A thousand words in an ape language, a cheap tongue. Beyond his time. Beyond the end of time.
A million see and revel. They know.They laugh and move on. A waste. Maybe in time.
Five billion do not see, and are forever unfulfiled. Pity is the only word, and this time language does not disappoint.
Some see, and are consumed by how pointless they realise they will always be, as reflected on them by the Most Holy High. They once knew or think they know but now... They know nothing. Nothing at all. It is warped. Males but not men. People but not persons. Living but no lives.
One sees. One disagrees. He knows, he truly does. Raging againt the Heavens with impotent emotion. One posts a concise dissertation on the subject, in poetic terms. A "comment." One weeps to his dead dreams and ideals, stolen by this Devil's Smithy of empty and opposite words. Cynicism lives.
Every first breath I take I spend loathing you. With every second I love Mr Munroe and myself. And life is complete. The systole and diastole of the of the human hate.
Perhaps you serve a purpose. Even barbers, I suppose.

You are a fool, sir, a pitiful fool.
They are basically identical*.

Is your IQ well below that testable? I feel that is the only way you would equate two systems that are so vibrantly different, even if they are so reliant upon one another.
ReplyDeleteDo you attempt to breathe through your ventricles? It may explain the brevity of your intelligence quotient.

I don't think that word means what you think it means. Philistine. (This is a reference to "Princes' Bride".

Merely a test to see how willing you are to point out minor errors. Much like your little 'Princes' Bride' hook.
ReplyDeleteYou are as transparent as you are vulgar.
William Huge! I was under the impression that you had abandoned us forever, after you were mistaken for the Buddha whilst holidaying in Japan and thus took up a job dispensing wisdom for the benefit of the locals.
ReplyDeletePray tell, what brings you back amongst us?

ReplyDeleteGOOMH! I was just thinking that!!!
GOOMH, Jon Levi -- I was about to say GOOMH to him!
ReplyDeleteFirst time here. Disappointed.
ReplyDeleteSecond time here. Still disappointed.
ReplyDeletethis is like my millionth time here and i'm still disappointed

ReplyDeleteSo you are saying I am tall and thin? FAIL. I am a genius and you know nothing. Although I do have a propensity for, as we say, propagating wisdom. Even a broken human is right twice a day (re: you.) Learn your world religions, idiot. This isn't a pop culture ignorance fiesta, although sometimes I wonder.
Hmph, I know more about worthless religions* than the idiot theist. This comes as no surprise, as theists are naturally yokelbrood and I am naturally so very clever.
*All of them. All religions and all theists.

YES, THEISTS LIKE THOMAS BAYES, THOMAS AQUINAS, JOHN LENNON WERE ALL IDIOTS WITH NOTHING TO ADD TO HUMANITY. BUT THAT'S OK LET'S PRETEND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND THEISM ARE COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE AND THAT THEISM DID NOT BRING GOOD AS WELL AS BAD.

ReplyDeleteOPEN YOUR EYES SHEEPLE
Imagine there's no Heaven
ReplyDeleteIt's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
But R you moron he says 'IMAGINE there's no heaven', this clearly implies he thinks there is a heaven, otherwise why would you have to imagine it?
ReplyDeleteare you working for Satan R is that what this is
