The pig says, "My wife is a slut."
When I see this:
This conversation is all that goes through my head:
Elaine: I don't remember , but it certainly wasn't this. Look at this cartoon in the New Yorker, I don't get this.
Jerry: I don't either.
Elaine: And you're on the fringe of the humor business.
George: Hey!
Elaine: Hey! George look at this.
George: That's cute.
Elaine: You got it?
George: No , never mind.
Elaine: Come on , We're two intelligent people here. We can figure this out. Now we got a dog and a cat in an office.
Jerry: It looks like my accountant's office but there's no pets working there.
Elaine: The cat is saying " I've enjoyed reading your E-mail".
George: Maybe it's got something to do with that 42 in the corner .
Elaine: It's a page number.
George: Well , I can't crack this one.
Elaine: Aahh! this has got to be a mistake.
George: try shaking it...(long pause) Well ,Janet should be here any minute.
Seriously, the New Yorker is really not funny. Or good at political cartoons... Just ineffective. To be completely honest, there were three reasons I posted this:
1.) Seinfeld references are always good.
2.) I want to see what everyone's favorite greek hero had to say about this. Free speech win out? How dare they blaze on Obama? This comic sucks? All of the above? My curiousity got the best of me.
3.) I really badly needed to post something.

New favorite e-comic
Ok maybe not FAVORITE, but Luke Surl Comics is pretty entertaining - rarely LOL funny, but not all comics need to be - with very few duds. Something not even XKCD can say. I'm not sure if the title is the dude's actual name, or if it's a witty way of writing Luke's URL, as in Luke's website. It's a mystery for the ages...

Thermodynamics is hard.
Rainy Fridays suck.
These two facts consist of my day. These made me chuckle:
^^the lulz are mild, but on topic
Irregular Webcomic! is actually pretty funny....

Read the Watchmen
I picked it up as I was about halfway done, took out my bookmark (a Dark Knight movie ticket, if you are curious), and now have no need for it.
Holy shit.
Definitely one where the ending isn't the best (or even most memorable) moment. Not to say that it's a shitty Chappelle-esque wrap it up type ending. It's actually a pretty solid closing.
Just... there are so many other parts that make you stop and think. Or just sit there in awe at how two completely non-related aspects of the story tie in later at a much more elaborate level than simply through the plot.
It's all kind of hard to explain with IB English being nearly two years in my past now.......
But yea.... just wow.....
Parts that jump out now after just reading it:
1.) The whole of chapter/issue 9. Basically, while trying to not spoil it, it revolves around a normal human being essentially trying to get the only true superhero in the novel to actually give two shits about Earth. In it is a whole "uniqueness of human life" shpiel that really gets to me.
2.) Two chapters before that, Moore has a little non-graphic piece of one of Nite Owl's acedemic pieces that is a masterful suppliment to the whole chapter/issue 9 shpiel. It's really hard to explain without giving stuff away, but if you have read it before and just read those two parts back-to-back it'll jump right out. Pretty neat.
3.) The whole Nostalgia motif, and the irony of it all (in terms of the businessman behind it and what not
4.) How most of the time I didn't give two shits about the Black Freighter storyline, then once the last page of chapter/issue 11 came (again, if you read it you should have an idea of what I'm talking about) I had to hold back from getting emotional.
The only thing that has me really worried about a movie adaptation is that you can't really take much out of it without really losing a solid chunk what makes this book great. The fact that it all fits together so well, almost like a good 1500 piece puzzle, is partly what is so rewarding. It's almost like Lord of the Rings in that a whole world was created. Who knows though. There's a reason they always say, "the book was better."
Just watching the trailer for the movie again, this time actually knowing what happens, and i think this will blow the dark knight movies out of the water, at least for the comic book reader demographic. just watch the dude at the end of this... he has to hold back TEARS for god's sake! over a trailer!!!!
and now... with the only time I will probably EVER use the comic tag
