Partially Faded Hand Stamp Undermining Everything Prosecutor Says

DALLAS—Members of the jury convened for the case of Texas v. Guillermo admitted Friday they were distracted from the closing arguments of Dallas assistant district attorney Paul Hagsbury after noticing a faded bar stamp on the back of his left hand. “He was saying something about evidence definitively linking the defendant to drug trafficking, but every time he made a hand gesture, all I could do was look at that ink stamp,” said juror Margaret Sanders, adding that she could have sworn she saw Hagsbury idly brushing glitter out of his hair on his way into the court room. “The logo looks really familiar. It’s definitely from someplace I’ve been before. Maybe it’s Lucky Mabel’s? I think they have Mega Mug-a-Rita Night on Thursdays over there.” That afternoon, sequestered and attempting to reach a verdict, the jurors reportedly spent nearly an hour in deliberations over whether the prosecutor was in fact wearing the same suit he had on the day before.

Looks like I do have something in common with Texas after all. We're both easily distracted by glitter.

Many of our holidays are somebody's birthday:

MLK day
President's Day
Christmas (coke to the other nerds)

A birthday is celebrating that someone is born. It makes total sense to recognize someone on that day.

But I sort of agree with you that celebrating Tolkien's birthday or Elvis's birthday seems pretty silly.

its like people who celebrate Elvis' birthday...I never understood it

Because if Elvis hadn't been born, Kim Newman wouldn't have written a book about Elvis as a mercenary in the cyberpunk late-90s who teams up with crocodile mutants and astronaut ghosts.

Now, this is art:

Woo! That shot was taken less than half a kilometre from where I'm sitting right now!

When you live
When you die
Here come's Mickey Eye!

You are awesome. Have a cookie.

And that's two for two.
Many cookies for you.

When Black Flame rereleased them with updated pop culture refs, that should have been a crime.

I was ropable. Honestly, when a sinister, possibly diabolical figure impregnates one of his followers to the the mother of the being which will annihilate the world, and the follower in question is an Italian Girl from New Jersey called Louise Ciccone, that's a joke.
You can't just change it to Britney Spears without RUINING THE DAMN GAG. *GRARGH!*

In other news, my friend, Natalie, who tasked me with drawing a character she had created called BATTLE PIG (http://www.girlclumsy.com/2012/12/battle-pig.html) had another drawing she wanted me to do.

Well Elvis was the King after all. In fact its usually joked more want Elvis on the quarter than who is on there now.

Updating the date from the 1990s misses the whole fucking point!!

Hey Charles, how's work going?
