You might as well party and do all the shit you were afraid to do

Fucking awesome. What is it about the Chick tract style that is so appealing, even if you disagree with everything in it?

I second the fucking awesomeness.

Just as long as you aren't fucking the roger awesomeness.

Ah, Roger Awesomeness - I fucked him in college. It was almost as good as this link.

Interesting postscript to this is apparently Jack Chick is very protective of his copyright.

Two different female coworkers just told me I looked especially "disheveled" today. I woke up late and didn't shave, OK? I also havent had a haircut in about 3 months. Besides, I'm almost 35 and I'm already coupled off, why should I bother with a grooming regimen? Fuckin' people.

That's nice, jon, but keep the word count in mind. Here, let me do some editing:

Let's don't forget the Saturnalia tract. It's that time of year again!

I look particularly dishevelled today too, but when a coworker mentioned it to me, I growled something about you step to me and I'll tear your fucking ear off, now go fuck a dog, and they went away.

I wonder if the Elder Gods are more or less likely to eat you first if you're well groomed or if you're all skanky?

I just told them I'm looking forward to old age since them I'll be able to smell funny and be grumpy without anyone noticing, let alone giving a shit. Plus, there's those nifty hiked up trousers.

Eideteker, great link, thanks!

Also, the next barbershop quartet to cross my path is in a world of shit.

FrizzyGrrl: I love that site. My favorite story is The Guy I Almost Was. It really struck a deep chord with me. (Sadly, my IM account "TheGuyIAlmostWas" was suspended for reasons unknown.)

jonmc, every picture of you I've ever seen, you look disheveled.

I ain't so hot myself.

posted by stilicho 30 November | 12:05

Exactly, stilcho. And yesterday, I was walking around with chili on my knees. What the hell did I do today?

(I wanna know so I can do it some more! Take that, bourgeouis society!)

posted by jonmc 30 November | 12:07

I look stunning today.

MMMM. Hendersonwich. *munchamunch*

Thanks for that pic, brainwidth. I'll be adding that one to my collection of pictures of bunnies humping things. I'm always looking for more. Email with attachments accepted.

Ahh. That Saturnalia comic always makes me a little teary-eyed and wistful, usually just about at the "How could I have forgotten?" part.

posted by loquacious 30 November | 12:51

The Guy I Almost Was was nice, too, Eideteker! I bookmarked the site and will poke around more later, thanks.

Fris: He's also got a sparsely-updated livejournal that's good for letting you know when there's new content (whether you read livejournal or just have good rss aggregator).

I used the picture from The Guy I Almost Was on Friendster, too. Remember Friendster?

posted by Eideteker 30 November | 14:37

Heh, I joined Friendster because my then-roommates were on it and I still get these incredibly pathetic "Friendster misses you, Frisbee!" emails from them. File under "Social Software 327: When Websites Grovel."

I'll check out his lj link, too.

Where are we up to on fucking awesome? I'm twelving it, just to be safe.

Other favorite Chick-spotting episodes:

1. Leaned carefully against rail of the T-Rex exhibit here.
2. As a regular supplement to my pizza delivery tip at this one house where the chick (small c) dressed like a hippie and smiled a lot.
3. As part of a literature packet given to me by a pastor eager to teach me the lesson of "Bad Bob".

I printed up a buch of these in the trademarked Chick / Tiajuana bible format and handed them out to kids at Halloween last year with the candy. Nobody came this year.... I got all the candy for myself.

And the extras were distributed around Bellingham at random locations.

Hmmmm. I think some will show up at Sunset Bowl soon.
