Noah's agony was short lived, as the 8-track was mercifully drowned out by the sound of the bus crashing through the wall, and demolishing the carefully laid plans of Dr Politician's conquest of the suburbs. Vice President Dick Cheney, who had been consulting with Dr Politician on Haliburton's behal...

Whose fault is this discrepency between English and American spellings? Noah Webster and his accursed dictionary of course! He came up with it in 1806 to make "American" English distinct from proper "British" English. Back then the sport of "Twisting the Lion's Tail" - making fun of the British- was...

"Do not get up and move around while the bus is in motion! Oh, and hang tight!" Hard Drive shouted back, as the bus careened toward's Dr Politician's hideout, "Ahhh, what the heck." Hard Drive decided, and stuck his "theme song" a beat up old BeeGees 8-track into the state of the art (for 1968) play...

Color coding is like the stoplight - take this tale I was told once: So, there I am in my car trying to get to work, when suddenly the terror alert level goes to yellow.

"Well, this can't possibly be good." Hard Drive blinked as he held the detached steering wheel in his hands, "Nothing to worry about though, I'll use my - uh - power of automotive association to tell the bus to stop. Stop bus stop!" With that, Hard Drive began to pound on the dash and kick at the br...

May as well go with Adobe Photoshop - it's what most professionals use for graphic arts like cartooning and photo touchups (and once you learn it, it looks pretty good on your resume) Before you go into shock over the price, look around - there used to be a Photoshop "LE" version of the program that...

"Well, I knew this was gonna be a hard drive when I took my code-name..." Hard Drive muttered, taking the wheel as the heroes bounded off the bus. The bus, with its huge tires was easily climbing over the traffic jammed cars- some of which were part of a Vice Presidential Motorcade on its way to hon...

Yesterday: Going to bed in a freezing-cold bedroom and falling asleep while waiting for the heat to warm it up.

Today: Waking up in a sweat at 2 am because the dang heat turns the room into an unbearable oven.

Repeat continuously for the duration of the winter.

"Darn traffic." Hard Drive muttered as he put the bus into neutral - or tried to, as the stick shift came off the floor in his hand, "Hrm- that can't be good." he observed as the rusty bus began to lurch forward, climbing over the gridlocked cars with its huge tires, and toward the building that had...

I've done a few of these in the past, but it might be neat to see a comic on them- 1. Why do they dump salt on icy roads? 2. How does a Fresnel (lighthouse) lens work? 3.

Gold Digger by Fred Perry - Nicely draw and written with a good mix of adventure & humor. Yeah, it looks like "Tomb Raider", but he came up with it long before the game. Most anything from Antarctic Press and Radio Comics is pretty good if you're tired of the typical super hero stories. A couple of ...

"Well, I guess we'll find him somewhere if we drive around long enough," Hard Drive declared as he tossed his ratty maps into the empty seat next to Dung Girl, " Don't expect ME to ask for any directions from any intelligent bystanders though." With that, the bus sputtered to life, and surged ahead,...

Ponies and boats just don't go well together.

Ponies can get very seasick on a boat - and then there's that extra deck-swabbing to do.

Maybe you could get the pony to pull the boat onto its trailer at least. That's always a problem
