BAD PUN #1
I guess I can thank my former math teacher Mr. G. for teaching me the occasional value of a rib-gripping groaner of a bad play on words.
Photobombed
Though I'm guilty of using it myself, I've come to realize: anyone using a free community site to post a personal either doesn't have enough money for a real dating service, or that person has something to hide. This strip is an amalgam of all the disastrous near-dates I've had through various sites before I finally numbed up and quit cold turkey.

"Spam"
There are many things I wish I could do from the web that I could apply in real life. Spam filtering would be awesome. Job offer from a lame old boss? Send it to my junk folder. Invite from a jinky ex-girlfriend? See ya. Random phone call saying my warranty expired? Filtered and blocked.
Today's strip was illustrated by Marissa L. While my life may be a flood of unsolicited garbage, I can imagine it as only worse for all the attractive women I've never seen in bars. So here is my small commiseration, and if you like it enough, here is the link to the Cafepress store where you can buy the mug.

Comic #5: Caution: Conflicting Viewpoints
George Orwell would be really amused if he were still alive today. Serious dissent has been quashed as a part of polite social interaction as a threat to viral branding, long-repressed agendas and do-whatever-I-want-ism. I hope the First Amendment endures through my life, but to do that people will have to use it and not be shut down by language as seen above.
Sliding down the generation gap: 35 vs. 25
I never thought that I'd be unable to relate that well to any generation that also uses computers. But I've noticed a growing difference. Little things, like blank stares when I say something sounds like a broken record, or when people speak to me online using only consonants.
Comic #3: Worlds Collide (Warcraft Humor)
Some things just don't carry over well from computer games. :D
