"David Hasselhoff arrested"

I shit you not.  Just saw the headline after I sent a message from my hotmail account, copied it and pasted it directly.  Those headlines are so helpful and always very informative.

When I read the strip I was mildly to very amused.  But later today, while commuting to or from school (can't remember which), I thought of the alt text some more and was extremely amused.  I just went and viewed the strip again.  The "dialogue" is so brilliant.  This is a good one.  I love that the truck is a Datsun.  And that no one appears to be being mooned.  Maybe cows?

Quote from: "V-Adore"
Andy quite obviously has a voice-command program. (Of course it is perfectly workable, even for graphics programs -- *****s have better programs than we do, of course.)

Or some kind of direct interface via FireWire or IDE cable or something. Maybe even wireless a.

Andy is obviously working using 802.11g WiFi.

Although you'd think a ***** wouldn't need to use a headset to use the phone - couldn't they build a CDMA cell phone right into him?

Only 802.11g? Come on, Andy is clearly and early-adopter and is using 802.11a

i'd say bluetoothing the input to his PC (rather than a KB/penis), hence his need for a headset.

But that begs the question of just how he gets the plug into the port without arms. Hence my bringing up wireless.

Well do you always have to use your arms to get your ahem plug into port?

But that's not the problem!  The problem is, once he's connected, how can he do graphic design without hands to use some kind of input device!  He can't describe a picture by talking.  A picture is worth a thousand words, and all.

I think he's lying about what he does for a living.  It's dial-a-perverted-***** phone sex, or worse, tech support.

That thought may invite the question or it may perhaps even beg others to ask the question for it, as it is poor and cannot ask questions on its own.   It does not in fact beg the question.

Explain to me about the evolving language, and I will tell you of the devolving discourse.
