really really really nice to see these characters back.

Quote from: "Bozack"

I've been making a lot of mix cd's recently, and I've learned a few things.
1. The Mountain Goats have a song for every occasion.

You know, I've noticed this, and it's started to scare me, cause as soon as I think how lovely one of their love songs, like "Riches and Wonders" is, I immediately realize that they also have songs for the next time I've driving bitter and drunk across the country cursing the name of whoever the previous song'd been about.  Which is an interesting combination of comforting and ominous for me, that they've got my back for every conceivable mood or situation.

Holy shit I am so into the Mountain Goats these days.  I was driving through a couple states south to see the SO and I put on the Coroner's Gambit, and I think it may just be the perfect driving album.  God damn.

As I recall such an idea has already been suggested on these boards in one of the cartilage threads, though I think it was more along the lines of Onstad simply having the idea on his mind, rather than actually mutilating his own child.

I am a Taurus/Gemini cusp.

That first panel needs to be a wallpaper so badly.  Chuggitas and all.

One trick to managing 14 year olds is that there is nothing they love more than vaguely insulting nicknames from their counselors.  Somehow this builds bunk unity like a charm.  Ho Chi (whose actual name is Adam) told us some weird story about his vietnamese barber, I think, so we went with the famed vietcong leader.

My understanding is that they have it at most summer camps, mine included.  Basically the whole camp is divided into a certain number of teams (in our case 4) and spends the entire day competing in different sports/relay events, and there's lots of ridiculous cheering and singing and you have to dress in your color etc. (I was on the green team, you can actually see the word 'yarok' in the background which is hebrew for 'green').  It sucks bad enough for a camper, but for a counselor it's a huge hassle because your kids basically have free reign of the whole camp all day to get into just massive amounts of shit.  14 year old boys need a tighter leash than color war can provide, in general.
