It's Evil Versus...Um...

The tale behind today's strip is absolutely TRUE.
Don't believe me? You WACK. This ought to clear up the misconceptions of any non-believers. What's more, they've got Greg Brady vs. Danny Partridge, and Vanilla Ice vs. Willis from "Diff'rent Strokes." Tomorrow night, at 9 PM/8 C, they will commence kicking the stupid out of each other. Am I going to watch? Not sure; but outlook not so good. Am I going to be happy no matter who gets the beat-down? You bet your ass.
...In fact, this whole idea - as culturally repugnant as it is - is quite intriguing to me, so much so that as soon as I get an idea of what to offer up (original art? A guest appearance - although beware that idea - or comic? A chance to get your comic idea put together by yours truly? Dunno), I might just start a *CONTEST* for whoever can come up with the best grudge match pairing. And if the two also manage to fit into the category that seems to be established in the FOX show (i.e. EX- or "I USED to be a -" Celebrity Boxing), well then *delicious.* I'll keep you all posted about it.
For those of you out there who can't see a reason for Blue's apparent hostility toward FOX, I give you Exhibit A: the cancellation of "Family Guy." [I think they have like 13 more episodes that haven't been shown yet...but yeah, then potentially no more - Josiah] This isn't even *mentioning* that "Futurama" is next up on the chopping block. Oh, sure, they can have "X-Files" plotlines that read like a caller's question list for Miss Cleo, but good animation - oh NO, whoever would want to watch THAT?! ::snarl::
NOTE: I am not dissing "X-Files" in totality here. I love Robert Patrick, and rest assured Blue considers him a demigod. He was the T-1000, but moreover, he was Boston Low in "The Dig", one of the best games I've ever played, and one that certainly was responsible for how much I both love gaming and interacting with an excellent story. So don't get snippy.
Woo... can you believe my Spring Break is just about a week-and-a-half away? Yow. Come next Friday, I'm gonna be winging it down to Arizona, and your dear Web Guy Josiah will likely be covering the rant on Tuesday the 27th, so fans of the man, mark your calendars, and commence grinning. I know I'm gonna welcome that warmth like nothing fricking ELSE. Aw baby. There is also a chance that I just might make an appearance at the Arizona Renaissance Festival, so if you're down there, look for the frighteningly blond chick in the purple and silver gown, strutting around like a self-important mo-fo: likely that's me. Or I have a doppleganger that must perish. Um... yes.
Crazy rabbity hell - thank GOD I endured the bothersome frustration and anxiety that is Room Draw at Macalester College, and was thankfully not shafted, unlike the rest of the people gathered at the Campus Center, particularly those a year my junior. Seriously. They might as well have been told: "Okay, sophomores, grab your ankles and prepare to be penetrated, because you're about to be fucked by the system." Pardon the phrase, but I'm being serious here. You think a civilization responsible for breaking the sound barrier and exploring the mysteries of the atom could make an even *marginally* fair room draw system, but looks like I have overestimated the college planners once again. Of course. Ironic that this shuffling of incredibly-cramped space (i.e. the dorm room shortage) should take place in the enormous HIDEOUS waste of space that is our Campus Center. Seriously, it's a giant white glass box with hardly any floor on the second story and a giant stupid roof that's about five FUCKING times bigger than practicality would dictate. It's pretty, sure, but in terms of space and planning, a brain-damaged wombat would be able to scrawl out a better floorplan. [Um...I tried with a monkey once...and the thing just ate the pencil, I don't know how much better a wombat would do...but I suppose it isn't even a primate, so there's a chance - Josiah]
Of course, that's just that *I* think. And nobody gives a poopie about THAT, DO they?
Wibbity-wibbity-wibbity, I ought to get going. Maybe you haven't noticed the NEW DESIGN I've made, but I suggest you give it a look-see. I really am extraordinarily proud of it, likely without reason, but eh, whatcha gonna do? Take care my peeps.
Best luck keepin' it real,
Annie "Blue" VM
