I am curious about Ocean Brave. I saw that he is an architect. Did he graduate from MSU? If so.. What year did he graduate?
He doesn’t know your wife, Marie. I already asked him!
Oh,.. but still Sally when did he graduate?? oh and um refer to me as um speedy marie.. not marie.. play by the rules!
heehee
Um, 2002? I think? Does that make me a bad person that I don’t know for sure?
Ocean Brave, please help me out. Oh: and if you try to give me shit, I’d like for you to try to come up with the year I graduated from State as well.
excuse me, but as a native natchezian, i take offense at the cannon featured on your t-shirt, gorjus. i’ll have you know that we natchezians were way too wussy and full of ourselves to fight a bunch of yankees and risk a burning. instead, we invited them in for drinks and scones, fried chicken, and deviled eggs—which is why we are still so much more la dee da than vicksburg, port gibson, and columbus can ever hope to be.
so fiddle dee dee,
vendela o’hara rarebell
P.S. This rendition of the Ocean Brave is HOTT!!
Gorjus, you look studly as well. This is a hotter version of yourself than the pudgy Muppet you’ve been drawing.
Oh, and haw haw: I like the literary spelling of Eliot.
T.S. Eliot + Elliott Smith = The Painful, Quiet, Unrequited Love Song of J. Alfred Indy Rocker.
It is possible my wifey knows of him.. especially if he has ever showed up at “the building” in between fighting crime to have a desk crit in his blue crime fightin’ suit!
Funny stuff gorjusI would try and protest, but you pretty much pegged it. I could say that I teach the spin class, but that doesnt help my case. I could bring up an economics argument again, but even bringing up the subject of economics damns me even more. Curses!I graduated from State in 2002, but I was in the accelerated program. So, I only lived in Starkville for two very long years. I know a lot of you, because you were either older and could go to a bar without copping your older brother’s ID or you were going back to school. To the other SARC students I was old, so I didnt get to know a whole bunch of them.
Christ, I had to think about it. That doesnt seem right. I thought it was in 2001 until I did the math.
On a much more important note, Air America launches at noon today. I think you should be able to listen online http://www.airamericaradio.com/
i’ve noticed that virtually everyone you draw is so powerful, everytime they get near each other or actually TOUCH, they give off little lightning bolts!
AWSOME POWER!
You totally don’t want to know what happens when the Ocean Brave and Oculass get together.
Pa-POW!!
I really don’t see the irony in the t-shirt- Natchez rules.
is it like hart to hart? moidah??
just keep it out of my kitchen, ok? it’s sparkly enough without you two throwing love bolts all over the place.
you’re a lawyer. he’s an architect. i write ads.
we might as well uncork the merlot and play bourgeois tag. next thing you know, we’ll be buying records based on NPR reviews.
gclark starts to mention something he heard on NPR this weekend
gclark reads mr rarebell’s comment
gclark taps delete key repeatedly
Speaking of Eliot rock connections, Kicker’s latest song
riffs on Prufrock.
Really! KoE, do tell.
Here’s a link to lyrics:

i cannot comment on the bourgeois debate due to the fact i bought myself a fendi for a graduation present. however, there is a deli in nyc called ts’s adjacent to a bar i frequented on a winter weekend. after a few cocktails it was reborn as ts deliot’s.
what’s a fendi? car? shoes? cool little mini-PC?
Hey, thanks for the shout-out, bulb. (And thanks for coming to the show last night.) OK, so, Sally, since you asked, the latest song is called “So Help Me Something,” and it’s about a former and WAY codependent couple trying to patch things up for the umpteenth time. Most of the narrative involves the could-be couple sitting around trying to talk to each other (with the main hope of eventually getting laid) in a crowded bar, and at one point the following lines run through one of their heads:
In this room the women come and go (no
Talk of Michelangelo, though)
That’s it. No other real Prufrockian elements in the song that I’m aware of, although I guess the character who thinks the lines in question could be sort of a sad sack like J.A.P. (the full lyrics are online at (http://www.thepersians.net/sohelpmesomething.html; no mp3 yet). In the interest of full disclosure, however, I should point out that the music itself is rather shamelessly based on GBV’s “My Kind of Soldier,” and one of the guitar fills basically copies the main riff from GBV’s “James Riot,” one of maybe a dozen good tracks on GBV’s 100-”song” Suitcase.
i was referring to an overpriced (but absolutely fabulous) designer purse.
thanx uncle baby for making my day a little better. your toons always make me smile. when do i get to become immortalized in a gorjus skit? i’m baby Firestar, i need SUPERPOWERS

I got myself a case of natural light in bottles for my graduation – that and XYZ as a roommate.
psst what is spin class? Like line-dancing for people w/inner ear problems?
gclark is obviously not up to speed on his Sex & The City reruns. “What’s a Fendi?” Sheeeesssshhhh… Watch some Queer Eye, dammit! It’s good for you!
Duh, ceo, it’s spinning webs. Like spiders do.
don’t feel too shamed, gclark. i love yo la tengo and calexico – both of which you can hear at least once a week between segments on various NPR shows.
i loved how you had to point of the irony your T-shirt when anyone who has even looked at it on the map could figure it out by themselves.
hahaha
Go Mclaurin (sp?) Middle School CatSomethings??!
(for all of my third thru fifth grade years)
madac,
i went to mclaurin, too! they had the best yeast rolls ever. did you walk to school past big star grocery and under the bridge? were you the kid who threw up peas on stage during the 1979 christmas pageant? i’m the girl who wore a feathered tiara everday during 78-79.
Don’t know anything about any peas or tiaras but i remember that damn bridge and the tunnel underneath it. I was there 85-87, i think! I don’t remember years just grades
My favorite thing for lunch was the rectangle shaped pizza. In my grade i was known as the “foreign kid” and everyone would come up and ask me to speak in arabic (i could and can still say 1-10 in arabic).
