Friends Don't Let Friends

You know, despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage? That's just wacky.
To let everyone know, it's not that Blue has something against Maxis (the makers of the apparently ridiculously-addictive "SimGolf," here parodied) - in fact, she is quite a covert addict of the nefarious Sims - it's just that I find the idea of being addicted to anything GOLF-related horrible and wrong. Gabe over at Penny Arcade may condemn me for this all he likes, but golf to me, as Mark Twain put it, is "a good walk spoiled." Actually *I* would term it "boring and stupid," but ol' Mark Twain just makes it sound so much BETTER. Thus Blue takes it upon herself to deter Derec from this purchase, even if it means publicly embarrassing him.
...In fact, *especially* if it means publicly embarrassing him. And can you blame her? I know *I* can't, but then again I'm probably not the best person to talk to about THAT, now am I? Phoo.
Don't know how many of you out there in Readerland picked up on my painstakingly-created and elaborate "mall" background in today's strippen, but bai-OW, there it is, hope you enjoy. See, I *wasn't* lying before when I said you should keep an eye out for such upgrades in the future. And in FACT, in just a few weeks now, comik #50 ought to make your eyes pop right out of their sockets and rub themselves lovingly on your computer screen, it'll be so lovely and painstakingly put-together...Well, maybe that WON'T happen, but good things will. Yes, nebulous, wonderful "good" things. Just you WAIT.
Holy hell. Just checked the actual SimGolf webpage, and that Valentine that Gabe sent to Maxis regarding it? Yep, they have it linked. I don't know if I should be impressed, or scared, or what, but yeah. Interesting fact right for you there. And you know, considering how much ass of mine Maxis has kicked in past games (I remember, WAY back in the day, spending hours with SimFarm. Can you BELIEVE that? Sim-fucking-FARM. And it's not a bad game, either), SimGolf is probably a pretty dammed good game. I'll break all my fingers before I buy anything golf-related, but all the same, Maxis is quality.
What-else-what-else-what-else... oh yeah, that whole Spring Break thingy. See, essentially we're giving all you readers out there a PRESENT - due to technical difficulties, sure, but a present nonetheless - which dear Web Guy Josiah will give you all the details about shortly. But rest assured, it all ends well: that is, with he and I both in someplace warm and sunny, with Fun and Good Times ensuing. I will actually not be gone for long - count on hearing my bantering tone on next Friday's rantage - but in the meantime, I wish you much happiness in your pursuits, whether you are taking it easy like me (ah! Bliss!) or not, in which case I would appreciate you not swarming all over me, jabbing and jabbing at my soft flesh with pointed sticks. I would appreciate that quite a bit, in fact. Ouchie.
Well, looks like the Shut Up Bus has just pulled up, so I better say goodbye and do just that. Take it easy, peeps, be well, have fun, and watch out for pointed sticks.
Kickin' it old-school,
Annie "Blue" VM
