Boo, so Halloween is over. And Christmas is next week, according to retail stores. So, Happy Holidays!
In other news, if you haven’t voted for your favorite webcomics in the categories you see fit, go to WebcomicPlanet.com and vote! I’m not sure when voting ends but it does end, as do all things. Well, not all things. Apparently a circle goes on forever, since you can keep looping and it never ends. But, in my opinion, no closed shape ends. What’s wrong with a corner? A square goes on forever, too, as long as you just switch directions when you hit the corner. Is that so hard? Why does symbolism hate right angles? This is the kind of racism that I’m trying to end with my book “Different Shapes and Why You’re a Jerk.” Hopefully available on Amazon soon.
I dunno, man. I read this one book once that really made me question the validity of non-curved shapes. I think the title was “Corners Are for Squares and Why You Should Hate Them”.
Yeah, circular propaganda. Pac Man wrote all kinds of stuff like that, apparently denying that he himself had three sharp corners.
I went to a mall on Sunday and, even here in Japan, they had erradicated any hint of Halloween (they sell decorations for it) and replaced it with baby pink Christmas trees and LED Hello Kitty creations. TIt is entirely too soon! Though I do look forward to making my order for the traditional Christmas Kentucky Fried Chicken roast chicken soon.
And I for one welcome our square overlords. It is the octagons I worry about.
Christmas KFC? Interesting! Yeah, the day after Halloween, seeing all the torn-down Halloween displays, is always a bummer. And I wish they’d at least give me a couple weeks to mourn before starting the Christmas stuff.
Your reference to peoples’ reluctance to accept corners reminds me of that famous Chuck Jones animated cartoon “The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics” which I’m sure is available to watch on YouTube. I really am going to miss the monster house, it has been too funny.
Hm, I’ll have to search YouTube for a bit and see if I find it….
What are you talking about. Christmas season started 2 months ago. Now they are adverstising for Easter.
Wow, before you know it, it’ll be Halloween again!
Too late…already here.
I have a feeling that any cleaning lady I would get would act the same way.
It’s hard to find good, dead help these days.
The problem of the right angles was started in high school geometry. They start off telling you
pie R square. Everyone knows pie are round and cornbread are square. This one basic misconception of the shape of the world throws everything out of balance and people still can’t figure how much material to buy to cover a round cushion.
P.S.
Love the cleaning lady
You have convinced me to throw away my math books. Everything I grew up learning about geometry is a filthy lie.
Some people will use anything as an excuse…..
: )
Yeah, dead schmead, just get to work, lazy.
Well if the maid cleaned the wax out of her non-ear holes she might hop to it.. unless she has a bad hip bone. Then maybe she’ll slightly raise up to the challenge…
As for the day the 2009 WCRCA voting ends, November 14th, 2009.
True, always gotta be careful with those hip bones. I’ll make a note of the date in my next blogs/comic. Thanks!
ha ha, old *dead* married couples are so funny!
Bickering is always comedy.
Great comic. Funny Stuff!
Thank you much, and I just checked out your site, good stuff too!
She sounds like my grandma!
Once you hit a certain age, you’re allowed to slack off.
Hmmph! Imagine trying to use ‘death’ as an excuse to skip work. Not where I live!
Me too. I tried to call in “dead” one day. Didn’t work.
I don’t know about where you guys are but around here they start putting Christmas decorations at the same time they do Halloween… in August
