Studying the master's music, I felt as if his spirit possessed mine. Only then could I understand his Demon's Serenade.

I like this second version better. It's an old meme, but a goodie.MonsieurMoustache wrote:Before the Urgs tamed men, life was hard. Be content, child. Eat your kibbles and have a bellyrub. Things are better now.

Good one. It reminds me, back in the late '70's / early '80's, there was this great cartoon showing a lab full of scientists gasping as they fell to the floor, dying. At the feet of one was a smashed test tube. Another scientist was glaring at him and choking out "Butterfingers".kentblue82 wrote:Watching Jim and the vials containing the nerve gas crash to the floor, Dan realizes hiring a narcoleptic was a mistake.
Anyone got a line on that cartoon? My GoogleFu has failed me.

I don't think so, but I had searched for it that way too. IIRC, it was more in Gahan Wilson's style.ROU Killing Time wrote:Was that a Far Side? Lab humor was a favorite of Larson.
Damn, old-fart cartoonists! Don't have the courtesy to scan and post all of their old work onto the ultranet, for free!

The demon was fed up with an eternity of unpaid torturing.

Hello, everyone! First post here. Saw the format and had to give it a go:
It only takes a tablespoon of water to drown, say, a cheating spouse. And it takes even less if you're married to a cyborg.

When I die, I want to go out like my old man: drunk, dressed as Hello Kitty, and riding a lawnmower through a crowd of mimes.

They shut down government "services" (like they ever really worked). But, they didn't shut down the fleecing service!

There are an infinite number of ways to die. Unfortunately, there are only a finite number of worlds in which they count.

And until they all get photo ids, we can never know if some are counted more than once.
