Thomas Paine

I promised much more than this but here are a few scraps:

To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

Friday's Marmaduke

Marmaduke is dead.

Thursday's Marmaduke

Marmaduke has escalated his sexual harrassment. His owner-lady is understandably nervous because he's FUCKING HUGE.

Wednesday's Marmaduke

Marmaduke's owner-man is still on acid; that's why his face is so fucked up. Meanwhile, "Marm" insists on non-consensual oral sex with a stranger.

basketcase is funny

Everyone patronize the website.

Monday's Marmaduke

Marmaduke's ignorance of traffic law is supposed to amuse us. His face is disfigured because:

A. He spent too much time with his head out the window.

B. He has developed tragic facial tumors.

C. His owner-man is on acid.

D. Brad Anderson is a tired old man.

You decide. Post any further suggestions in the comments section.

This is the view from my balcony:

Here are some pictures from my mother-in-law's house:

Those are California Poppies, the state flower. Here's some of the mountains:

Coming This Week..

I'm back. And here's what I plan to do this week:

1) Joe Mathlete is taking the week off, so I will explain Marmaduke for him. He didn't mind when I did it last time.

2) I have new and old pictures of California to post.

3) I want to write a short article on Thomas Paine and his relevancy in the 21st Century. Although I realise that he didn't have any original ideas, he put democracy in layman's terms.

4) Of course, there will be more pictures of cute animals.

Palindromes

Palindromes were a hobby of mine for a while. If you think about them for enough hours, your brain will start to automatically invert every word you see, hear, or think, searching for possibilities. I wrote this one:

Daria had a fad, a hair ad.

Sometimes they don't make perfect sense, but if all the words are real words, it counts. Another one of mine:

Aero-Kevin made Dave's eyes evade. Damn! I've Korea.

The best palindrome ever written was by Gordon Dow. It's a whole page, and it has moments of eerie profundity. It even seems to almost make narrative sense. I present to you: Dog Sees Ada

Now I've found the perfect marriage of hobbies. Webcomics and Palindromes come together in my latest discovery, Palindramas.
