Yes--a viking should wander the world a bit. Even if it's a virtual world.

I can't say that IPAs do much for me. I find the dark beers better--Irish red is nice.

Well, we do enjoy the occasional thaw--it reminds us that winters do not (quite) last forever.

But yes, by this time of the year, winter has definitely worn out its welcome.

OTOH, by this time of the year, 40° feels pretty balmy.
And even 25° is not too cold. Shirtsleeve weather.

On the bright side, it seems to be heading away from you. If they start off with the 155mm's, though, you might want to hide under your bed. True, or just drag your 88mm out of the back yard and return fire. If that's a bit to complicated, try an Ontos, or just use your M20/75mm. Caution -- these a...

HEY, ALL YOUS ARTY-SMARTY MADBOYS AN' GRRLS! Dezine a HAT for de Steampunk Goil!

Maybe she had a really bad plan?

Oh, but if she got them out because you wanted a warm spell, something much worse would probably happen. A blizzard of ice-stalactite skewers, a rain of frogs, a plague of lighthouse keepers... something like that. For reasons best known to those-who-cannot-be-named, her powers as a weather goddess...

Reminds me of the time a brother called up a new restaurant to decide if they wanted to try it. They asked whether they had fresh chicken that day. They heard a hand put over the phone mic, and the person at the restaurant cry out into the kitchen, "Mama, we got chicken tonight?" In that i...

And, as a point of order: Pablo apparently wasn't consistent with his spelling of "Etetheitian" in the comic. ("Ethetheitian" was used at least once during the Lost Dolls storyline.)

Maybe Pablo needed this PSA too.

I think that's the first time I've seen a contented look on Jin's face... it suits her... Nah ... Lemme see ... How 'bout this one ? Never underestimate the power of a warm butt. ;) Detroit seems to think that all sorts of car drivers need warm butts--but I just find that sort of thing annoying.

That's not funny atoll. I guess they take quite atoll on their islands. Somebody needs to coral them before they get too violent.

"Foxhunting: The pursuit of the inedible by the unspeakable."

A nice commercial--right up there with some few others I've seen, such as Sink and Frogs.

(Naturally, some have complained about it--how it portrays short, bald people as undesirable. )

This is one phrase I learned in many languages, and I hope everyone one day will learn it as well: Życie jest piękne(Polish) 인생은 아름답다(insaeng-eun aleumdabda)(Korean)--a bit different depending La vie est belle(French) La vita è bella(Italian) La vida es bella(Spanish) 生命是美麗的(Shēngmìng shì m...

It's about time--considering (1) the sort of education most athletes, especially in the high-profile sports, seem to receive, (2) the obscene amounts of money the sports, and thus the athletes, bring in, which is not allowed to go to the students--only to the school and the coaches. Such as that ath...

Not just the hair; I've been told that EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas. ;) Two Texas stories: 1. A Texan was boasting about his ranch: "I can jump into my pickup, drive all day in any direction, and at evening everything I can see is still part of my ranch." West Dakotan: "I know--I us...

Ever read "Lone Star Planet" by H. Beam Piper? And you have now become only the second person I've met over the years who has heard of Piper, one of my favourite authors. Little Fuzzy...and I've put 'Lone Star Planet' on my to read list... I've read about Little Fuzzy too, many, many year...

Yes--and don't forget to "hang up and drive!" (Includes not texting, reading, or doing other similar distracting things while driving)

After reading this comic for some time the way Paul treats myths has gotten me thinking about the Titans and Greek Gods. In the real world the myths behind them come from the Titans being an explanation of earthly phenomenon. They were the darkness and the light, the wind and the air etc, The Gods ...

Or for that matter, some primo vintage Egyptian Mead! I hope the mead doesn't have to be drunk through a filter straw, like the Egyptian beer..... Well, in late Bronze Age Greece and Anatolia and that general region, the fashionable drink was a mixture of mead, beer, and wine. And then they'd add i...
