Lumpy

I AM TEH CAPTAIN OF THE CARPET SHIP!


You can't spell. Also...what?!


Today's status message brought to you by the whimsical webcomic Two Lumps. It's a slightly off-center comic about two anthropomorphic cats. One of whom is slightly taken with taking over the world, the other is a meathead who speaks in the occasional bout of modified Lolcat. They both, however, have a weakness for gooshyfood and "pettins."

In This Particular Case, Snooch discovers vodka, which begins his love of alcohol, which pops up in comics now and again. In fact, the Carpet Ship itself makes another appearance in This more recent comic.


Good. So why is the Blag so late today?


For a couple reasons, actually. First, as stated in the very first post of this Blag, I update it when I darn well choose. Also, I was alerted this morning, incidentally, while writing today's entry, that one of my old college professors was in town today, so a bunch of us grads got together with him for a meeting and lunch.

One lump or two?

Salvador Dali's clocks aren't wrong or stopped or broken. Their active faces slide like pancake batter over edges of a bureau, bend and hang across branches. In fact, Dali's clocks are not clocks at all, if we mean bookkeepers that measure unvarying flow. But then, the heart is not that kind of clock either; rather, it is a fractal tempo tracker that runs concurrently to the beat of several highly variable drummers. There's also the fact that Dali locked himself in an artist's garret for days on end. Enclosed space, paint fumes...you do the math.



That is way too insightful and clever for you to have come up with it.


Well, yes...that's very true. This quote was taken from Ebenezer of Two Lumps, an amusing webcomic that's on my list of things to read on occasion. I've also borrowed one or two of Snooch's haikus (not on Friday) to use as status messages.


Alright...so do you have anything else today?


Yes...I got some really $#*&ing good news for all of you working people out there. Have fun!
