One day I'm at the back of the store and I can suddenly hear a woman shouting. At the exact same moment, my nostrils fill with the smell of gasoline (never a good sign when you work at a gas station). I run to the front of the store to find an old woman, whose face is soaked with gasoline. And she is screaming... "It burns, it burns!". I rush her to the sink and flush out her eyes and call and abulance and stuff. As it turns out, the old lady couldn't figure out how to work the gas pump and basically shot herself in the eyes with gasoline. This was just a horrible event for me, but any time I tell the story, when I get to the "It burns, It burns!" bit, the my audience inveriably dies of laugher. Apparently there is just something inately hilarious about people shouting "it burns" when cheimicals are shot into their eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1152267595134484632006-07-07T03:19:00.000-07:002006-07-07T03:19:00.000-07:00Hey, are you on hiatus again Dave?Hmm, wait.

I picked it up because it looked cartoony and funny and i did enjoy it, but it ain't for kids. If I recall correctly, I looked carefully afterwards on the front and back cover and didn't see any warning about mature language.<BR/><BR/>I like this book. I'm just worried that because of the cartoony, kid-friendly <I>look</I> of it, it might get picked up by the young 'uns or their parents for them (I know, I know, parents should be looking at things they give their kids first) and then everyone is shocked and surprised when the kid starts saying "fuck." <BR/><BR/>I don't support censorship. And I don't mind if cartoony books swear. I'm just worried that this might wind up being another case for the CBLDF, mild though it is.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708103213119467419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1152098885900574732006-07-05T04:28:00.000-07:002006-07-05T04:28:00.000-07:00I loathe Family Guy and love Sky Ape, so don't let...I loathe Family Guy and love Sky Ape, so don't let that comparison scare you off.

He and his buddies used to have mace fights. They would spray mace around like they were claiming territory: spraying each other, their girlfriends, and poor innocent empoyees at the Burger King Drive-Thru window. At the time, we thought they were assholes, but incredibly macho assholes to be able to laugh off a facefull of mace. Now that I am a wee bit older, however, it all makes much more sense to me.
