Lifestyle is to diabetes what a nail is to a hammer 12/09/05

I always prefer a Fuck you Friday to a Philippe's Philler Phriday.

Also, what is Ray doing in the last panel?  At first, I thought he'd gotten so out of shape that he needed a mirror to see his junk, but instead, I think he's checking his belly button.

Also, remember the game Pizza Party?  As in the jingle "Paaarty!" Pizza Paarty!" For some reason the term "pizza party" is one that worked it self into my daily vernacular a couple months ago and now I use to answer most questions these days.  Example: "Hey Melanie, what are you working on there?" "My Pizza Party."  "Really?" "No."

*edit* - that is definitly a Neil Diamond outfit, not a Neil Young one.  Also:  Sweet Caroline!  Ba, Ba, Bah!  Good times never felt so goooood!

Best line, "I believe it was Voltaire who said, 'Well then fuck them'"

Poor Ray.. he always knew he'd get the diabetes.

I think he was just checking out the fat in the mirror; maybe coming to terms with the fact that sour cream invented itself.

Well, there's my future, right there. Although I guess there probably won't be any $200 Nikes involved.

I think he's attempting to use a mirror to have a "rap session" with his diabetes/pancreas.

The Voltaire line is definitely the best, yeah. I want an excuse to use it in a conversation now.

I'm thinking maybe he has pre-diabetes?

I am a big fan of these. Onstad, if you're reading- a lot more Fuck You Fridays, a few less Phillippe Phact Phridays.
And the Voltaire quote is so excellent I can taste it.

Funny story- I had never heard that song until last month, when my ladyfriend and I were shanghai'd into standing around awkwardly at her cousin's Sweet 16 party, trying to make sure they didn't, I don't know, commit the sex acts? I was just trying to not feel like I was violating Megan's Law when it turned out that a)yes, there is a dance to "Booty Call," and b)all of these 15 and 16 year old girls know it*. Anyway, yeah, that song came on, and I had never heard it, so I assumed it was some really obscure thing, until the DJ guy turned the speakers off so people would sing the chorus, and everyone actually did. I was horrified and confused.

*You know, I read back through that and I think I should make it clear that I'm not a child molester; what I mean is, you know that really creepy feeling you get when you see people a fair amount younger than you trying to act sexy, in a really awkward manner? I had that. And then I started to remember what I was doing at that age, and I felt really creeped out.

Now he can hang out with Wilford Brimley.

In a crazy cosmic coincidence, I was listening to a new Neil Diamond song on the radio as I read this cartoon about talking cats.  It was totally a Friday Fuck You from the Universe to me.

It's a good song - "Delerious Love," featuring Brian Wilson.  Find it if you dare.

Isn't it crazy when this happens?  It makes me feel like the gods are smiling upon us.  Someone in another thread (the blogs I think) linked to the strip where Beef got the shirt from Molly in heaven today, and when I was reading it, at the precise moment Cornelius said: "Who do you think you are?" Sarah Cracknell belted it out on the song, "Who Do You Think You Are?" by Saint Etienne.  WEIRD!

Who has a dj at a birthday party? That's just excessive.

So he's telling his gut that it can't come to his pizza party. Isn't that kind of where guts come from?

I'm deliriously happy over this strip.  I think this is the funniest shit since the baby came.  Neil Diamond vs. Neil Young, the Voltaire quote, talking to his diabetes, taunting his diabetes, it's all gold.  Gold I tell you.  My favorite though is him telling Dr. Andretti "Can this wait" (the diagnosis) until he's finished peeing.

It's like a whole week of funny in one strip.

Like Ray, I confuse Neil Young and Neil Diamond, because I don't know who either of them are.  That is also true for: Billy Joel/Billy Idol and Billy Idol/Boy George/Rod Stewart/David Bowie.

(I realise I'm setting myself up for ridicule, but I don't much care.  I don't listen to any of the aforementioned artists' music, so I'm okay with not knowing who they are.)*

*If any of you are die-hard fans of these musicians and are deeply offended, I am sorry; I brought this up because I think it is funny, and don't mind poking fun at myself.

I think we've got a lot of Neil Young fans here.  I don't care if you listen to him or not, but I will ask this question, don't you like good music?
