Silly, but funny
Here’s some funny links that have been rolling around in my browser this week…
I often try to brainstorm good, consistent topics for blogging that would provide for a lot of easy material. This is not to say that I “need more readers” or anything silly like that. It’s more of a thought exercise, much like the “come up with wildly complicated inventions or building plans in my head” game that my dad taught me as a kid (and which I still use) to help me fall asleep. The reason I bring this up is that I came across such a “low hanging fruit” type of subject matter that is absolutely ripe for witty discussion: the comics. I just added The Comics Curmudgeon to my feeds because it’s one of those concepts that I wish I had thought up. Daily (snarky) commentary on the funnies… It’s like TVWOP for comic strips.
And from another very funny site I just found, here’s a great list detailing How To Tell You’re A Superhero.
Your nickname in high school was “That weird kid who jumped nine stories to put out an apartment fire with his ice breath.”
OK, one more, because it made me laugh out loud at work.
Most of your romantic relationships end in plummets.
OK, one more link, and it’s back to work for me.
The Perry Bible Fellowship -This well-drawn strip is riotously funny, at least to me. I thus wasted at least an hour reading the entire archive, one by one.

Just finished the Perry Bible Fellowship archives. I super-duper hope that the guy that does them keeps updating. Hilarious.

Yeah, so do I. A few new ones have appeared, so it seems like he is.

That’s awesome that you like the Perry Bible Fellowship because that was the weird cartoon in the Daily Orange when I was at Syracuse. He was a year or two older than me and sadly graduated before I did so I didn’t get a full 4 years of it’s brilliance but everyone on campus would pick up the Daily Orange to see what freaked out thing the Perry Bible Fellowship had that day and sometimes it was laugh-out-loud-in-class funny.
Now that I think of it… I should probably post this over at your blog (and look - I have!). Either way - I am thrilled to see a Syracuse University comic get proper nods!

I have been a fan of PBF for quite a while, and I heard that guy is in talks to do something bigger. I can’t wait to see it.
And Russ, that guy uploads new ones on Sunday nights.

Ah, perfect! Thanks for the info, Duane! The hardest part about distributing this link is making sure people know that it’s not actually a church.
