Finally. Suburban Tribe been one of my favorite webcomics for some time, plot and character driven, rather than random one shots. I liked it so much that I didn’t remove it from the sidebar when it was discontinued, just because the archives should be looked through for new people.

And now it’s back, so ‘s all good. I highly suggest you check it out and perhaps digg it. I totally digg it. It should consider itself dugg. Someone should create a game called digg-dugg where an internet user travels around the internet dirt and finds sites (animals) that they can either drop rocks on the sites if they’re bad, or use a digg to pump a site up.

That’s already been done? Curses.

this is how I spend ‘em:

Got about 8 pages for my next chapter done. It’s pretty sweet.

great taste or less filling?

A cannibal and a cook were having a meal. “Man I hate my Mother-in-law,” the cannibal said. “Well, at least eat your vegetables,” said the cook.

Why did the cannibal eat the tightrope walker? He wanted a balanced meal.

A cannibal ate a clown, but complained it tasted funny.

Why won’t cannibals eat divorced women?
They’re very bitter.

Two cannibals meet one day. The first cannibal says, “You know, I just can’t seem to get a tender Missionary. I’ve baked them, I’ve roasted them, I’ve stewed them, I’ve barbecued them, I’ve tried every sort of marinade. I just can’t seem to get them tender.”

The second cannibal asks, “What kind of Missionary do you use?”

The other replied, “You know, the ones that hang out at that place at the bend of the river. They have those brown cloaks with a rope around the waist and they’re sort of bald on top with a funny ring of hair on their heads.”

“Ah, ha!” the second cannibal replies. “No wonder … those are FRIARS!”

Now if THAT title doesn’t get the bizarre hits from google, I don’t know what will.

Anyway, there’s this article about the sexist ads in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The gist of it is that Sweden isn’t going to ban sexist advertising, unlike Norway and Denmark.

Same ol’ Same ol’ Boring boring. It’s standard newspeak and lawyerese about fines, laws, complaints, etc. etc. Until you come to my most favorite quote of all time from ANY article on BBC’s news sites so far. It’s from a Ms. Olving, head of Norway’s Kreativt Forum:

Naked people are wonderful, of course, but they have to be relevant to the product…

It’s really quotes like that which make reading the news so worthwhile. Blahblahblah…Naked people are wonderful…blahblahblah. Genius.

and then she goes on to say:

We’re not that puritan that you can’t have naked bodies. But it has to be done in the right way, with charm and passion.

I don’t know why, but I crack up each time I read these quotes in context.

yet, investigators are puzzled as to WHY the bear killed him.

Here’s a hint:

it’s a $%#)(87′n bear.

the new chat feature in facebook. it’s kinda interesting, I suppose.
