Buffistas

Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Speaking of smells (ok, we were speaking of smells, a couple of pages back): [link]

An Australian couple who picked up an odd-looking fatty lump from a quiet beach are in line for a cash windfall.

Leon Wright and his wife took home a 14.75kg lump of ambergris, found in the innards of sperm whales and used in perfumes after it has been vomited up.

Worth up to $20 a gram, Mr Wright's find on a South Australian beach could net his family US$295,000 (£165,300).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

DUDE! You never find stuff like that just on the sidewalk.

Yeah. If only sperm whales were allowed to use sidewalks.

Always Anti-fascist!

Anyone else thinking, amid the chiro talk "Have you ever done it?" "I don't even have a chiropractor." Too much "Breakfast Club," I guess.

Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?

If a thing ever needed to happen, it's this. Maybe when I get home to where my comics are...

Today, my back is better.

Oh, thank GOD.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I had no idea there was that kind of money in whale vomit.

I did, but only because it was mentioned in an Encyclopedia Brown story.

Ah, if only the vomit I had to clean up in my college job as a church's Sunday host/custodian had been as lucrative.
