I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I wonder if it will be new content or is Larson finally jumping on the interwebs.

My very favorite comic!

My wife and I were in a bookstore many years ago and I picked up a Far Side paperback.  We started looking through it and became convulsed with laughter and couldn't stop.  A lot of people walked by us and had very strange looks on their faces.

I think one of my favorites of hundreds of favorites is the one with the cows standing around on their hind legs and smoking cigarettes.  Then one of them says "Car!" and they all drop down into typical cow mode as a vehicle goes by.  Or the two deer standing there and one has a bulls eye on his chest.  The other says "Bummer of a birthmark, Hal."

Remember the little 4 panel split with the cow stepping onto the porch, ringing the doorbell, stepping back down,  and then the farmer looking around confused?

That kicked 10 year old me's giggle box over and I've been hooked since.

Growing up, I had a shirt with the "Midvale School for the Gifted" comic on it.

You are forgiven. 

I love The Far Side so much, I invested in the 2 volume hardback set of books that has his complete works in it.

I need to do that. I have like half a dozen seperate books. It would be nice to just have a single two volume set with the works.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Unfortunately, not real.

And yet by planting the idea in people's heads with that cartoon, there probably are a few cases now.  I wonder what they'll call it for real? :)
