Dinosaurs and Fat Boys

This is a 'fan art' comic I made for Ryan North's brilliant DINOSAUR COMICS.

The visuals are always the same, but Mr. North uses that static format to create endless jokes and bizarre dialogues to hilarious effect.

24: I'm Lovin' It

You know you're a GEEK when...

"Emperor Penguins always travel single file, to hide their numbers."

My girlfriend and I were watching MARCH OF THE PENGUINS and she wondered allowed why the penguins travelled single file. I said "to hide their numbers" and laughed like an idiot.

Because she didn't get the reference but could see how much I had amused myself she deduced that it must be one of my 'Star Wars jokes'.

This is only noteworthy because I just turned 30, and am now officially a GEEK.

I will not be outgrowing this stuff anytime soon.

May the force be with you.

Pocky Day Review - Black Sesame & Kinako Soybean Flour

FLAVOR: Kurogoma Black Sesame
NOTES: This pocky has a strong and unusual aroma. I was a bit reluctant to try it, but it was really good! The closest I can describe the flavor is "Honey Nut Cheerios".
RATING: 6 out of 10



FLAVOR: Kinako Soybean Flour
NOTES: This is a subtle taste, and not one I am used to growing up in America. It tasted unlike any other pocky I've had, and more like a Pretz. It had a buttery cracker taste.
RATING: 6 out of 10

Round Robin

I used to answer the phones at MGM. Many, many of the people who called were either dim-witted, insane, or both.

Here are some transcripts of my favorite calls presented for posterity:

Some crazy old lady called and asked for the animation department.

ME: "I'm sorry, we don't have one."

C: "Then what's the number for Hannah Barbara?"

ME: "Why would we have that number?" (this slips out sometimes)

C: "They said you would."

ME: "Who?"

C: "Universal said you would have the number."

ME: "Oh, right. Actually, Warner Brothers will have that number."

C: "Oh. What is the number for Warner Brothers?"

ME: "You can call Miramax for that number."

C: "Okay, thanks..."

The Matrix doesn't have you

I used to answer the phones at MGM. Many, many of the people who called were either dim-witted, insane, or both.

Here are some transcripts of my favorite calls presented for posterity:

Ring…Ring…

Me: MGM

Angry Caller: Who IS THIS?! (That is the most common response I receive when someone calls up MGM and I answer “MGM”, by the way.)

ME: MGM.

AC: Who is this, what department is this?

ME: This is reception. How may I direct your call?

AC: Put me through to the people who made the Matrix!

ME: Sorry, we didn’t make The Matrix.

AC: Well WHO DID?!

ME: Sorry, you’ll have to look that up for yourself.

AC: Well why can’t you just tell me?

ME: That’s not our movie, you’ll have to look that up yourself.

AC: Well why can’t you just tell me?

ME: You’ll have to look that up yourself.

AC: Why won’t you tell me?

ME: Why don’t you look it up yourself?

AC: Well what department can I call, who do I call?

ME: Why do you have to call anyone? You can find this information easily anywhere.

AC: I have to find out who made The Matrix. You’re a production person, why don’t you tell me?

ME: Uh, you’ll have to look it up yourself. You can get just about any magazine at a newsstand and get this information.

AC: I have a newsstand! I have a newspaper! It doesn’t say who made it!

ME: Well, it will only take a short time to find this information.

AC: I don’t have a short time, I’m dying!

ME: It will still be easy to find out on your own.

AC: But you know, so why won’t you won’t tell me?

ME: Uh…You’ll have to look that up for yourself.

AC: Chicken sh*t.

Guess who got implants?

I used to answer the phones at MGM. Many, many of the people who called were either dim-witted, insane, or both.

Here are some transcripts of my favorite calls presented for posterity:

ring...ring...Ring…

Me: MGM

Crazy Caller: I need to speak to the President.

M: Which President?

CC: The guy who runs the company.

M: What is this in regards to?

CC: About a movie. About my life.

M: I see. Do you have a script based on your life you want us to make?

CC: Actually they’re already making it. They have recording devices implanted in my body.

M: I see.

CC: Is that you or Universal?

M: Universal is usually the ones who implant devices in people’s bodies. You should try them.

CC: Oh, thanks.

ME: Ha ha, you fool! It was us all along! How do you think we made Legally Blonde 2?!

Looking for Stephen King

I used to answer the phones at MGM. Many, many of the people who called were either dim-witted, insane, or both.

Here are some transcripts of my favorite calls presented for posterity:

Ring...Ring...

ME: MGM.

ORNERY YOKEL: Yeah, I wanna talk to Stephen King.

ME: Stephen King, the author?

OY: Or his publisher. I have a story.

ME: Uh, sorry, we don’t have any connection with Mr. King.

OY: Then who does?

ME: I have no idea, sir.

OY: This is Hollywood, right?

ME: …yes.

OY: You answered the phone ‘MGM’, right?

ME: Yes, but we don’t have that information, I’m sorry.

OY: But you produce movies, don’t you?

ME: No, we distribute movies. Sorry.

OY: Well put me through to a producer!

ME: We don’t have producers here. But if you want to contact Stephen King or his publisher
I’m sure you could find their contact information on a book and write to them.

OY: I don’t have a Stephen King book!

ME: Okay, but there are hundreds of millions in print, and you could go to a newsstand, or library, or book store and copy down the information on the back.

OY: I don’t have a book! That’s why I’m doing this on the phone!

ME: I understand, sir, but we don’t publish books. We have nothing to do with that. And we are not involved with Rodeo, or Astronauts. We’re a separate business, and we can’t answer your questions. And I can’t transfer you to someone who would.

OY: Yeah, transfer me.

ME: I can’t transfer you.

OY: You just said you could transfer me!

ME: ???? No, you must have misheard me. I said I CAN’T transfer you. There’s no one here who can answer your question. You have to look elsewhere.

OY: Then put me through to somebody else. A producer.

(FAST FORWARD 5 minutes, repeating the above chorus)

ME: Sorry sir, but we do not represent Stephen King.


OY: I don’t wanna talk to Stephen King!

ME: You started this call by saying you wanted Stephen King or his publisher. If I had to guess, I would bet you could find out how to reach him by looking at the back of any of his books.

OY: I’m f*cking illiterate! That’s why I’m doing this over the phone! I’m a goddamned 46 year old functioning illiterate.

Sadly, this call actually happened.

Frankenstein's Octopus

Aggropus

Descended from the octopus, the Aggropus roams on dry land causing mischief. The Aggropus' favorite past time is inciting road rage. The clever creature uses it's natural chameleon-like skin to appear as a human hand, after which it will cling to the side of a car and make rude gestures.

When not inciting road rage, the Aggropus will invisibly wander through crowded places and grope people. Whether the Aggropus is a parasite that feeds off the bloody havoc it causes or is just mimicking human hands to blend in is unknown.
