Other fun things noticed on a second viewing:

* First reply is always: Try what I did. Only $10k up front.

Until the last: Try what I did. Call animal control... (That made me chuckle, in fact.)

* "Fuck*ng". Someone doesn't quite grasp the concept of obfuscating the obscenity.

Good catch - I didn't see it.

* The HR tags aren't XHTML 1.0/Strict compliant.

I don't think Chris knows the difference.

blah blah bio speak

Reminds me of a conversation I had wherein I was mentioning a Thai friend of the family named Norlisa. "Norlisa?" someone asked. "Yeah, it's Lisa with an extra methyl group sticking out of her head." Dur-hyuk!

Glavin!

I went to a Therapist today to talk about all of my God Damned Problems. At the wrap-up at the end of the session, he was talking and said, "You got depression."
And I ALMOST said "But that don't stop the show!"

I would've asked him to specify if I had "hella depression" or just regular.

Beef's expression is so messed up in the last panel. I think this might even be worse for his mental health than the Volvo of Despair. I would find bus passes online to be funny of DC didn't actually offer them. Buy your 0.2oz SmarTrip card online for only $5 shipping!

Yes, I'm aware there was a much better thread title but I didn't want to ruin the punch line since this posted so late in the day.

SmarTrips are the most idiotic thing ever. Thankfully they may be bought at the station. I was worried you would HAVE to buy them ahead of time.

I like them in principle as you don't need to waste a new piece of paper for each trip but they're freaking impossible to find. They sell them via machine at stations with parking lots (which I haven't been to in years) and at Commuter Stores which are only open at rush hour (when I'm on 66).

Mine broke, and I sent it in, but they haven't sent me a new one yet.  Bastards!  

They are good in principle, but you have to have one to pay for parking at the outer stations, and that fact is lost on a lot of people.  One night after a Nationals game, we were waiting in line to get out, and the car in front of us got up to the gate, and sat there... and sat there.  "Oh no," I thought.  Then he put on his back-up lights.  MORON!  But before it got out of hand, a guy in the car behind me jumped out, swiped his card, and yelled "GO!"  I guess it was worth $3.75 for him to not have to back up for that idiot.

Somebody else was telling basically the exact same story in Dr. Gridlock yesterday except the car at the gate didn't realize somebody had swiped their card for him and still sat there, missing the gate.

Also, people approaching the toll plaza at rte 28: If you don't know what Easy Pass/Smart Tag is then you obviously don't have it so move the fuck out of the Smart Tag Only lane.

Am I pathetic? Yes.

[acoxcae]

Ok, so in this particular context, pathetic == awesome.

Honestly, I thought about doing this when I first saw the strip, but decided I didn't have the time/money/dignity to waste, so I didn't.

Just kidding, of course - seriously awesome.

[St_Zartan]

Heh. Well done, indeed.

[acoxcae]

Now, I know it's not in the source material, but I feel like an RSS feed is pretty much mandatory here.

Y'know, to hear about problems LIVE!

[V-Adore]

This is terrifyingly rad. Terrifyingly, terrifyingly rad.

[jough]

Oh man, not only does it contain the text from the strip, but people can add their own problems.

Awesome. Awesome.

Once the new SaddestThing.com site is set up I'm totally linking to this.

[editor]

That just made my day.

[evan]

Oh good, people have already started to try to exploit it. Fortunatly I'm not a dumbass so putting PHP into the problem field does absolutely nothing. Not that it would have done anything anyway since the syntax was bad...

BTW, I didn't implement the whole (more) functionality because if I did I would have to write more about riding the bus at eleven thirty etc, and I didn't really think I could do it justice.

[ferocious j]

This is almost unbelievably excellent.
