“Penis or no penis, throw one more turd at me, and I’m going to eat ice cream out of your hollowed out little skull.”
--Dr. Mann, one of MANY reasons you should be reading “Y-The Last Man”, by DC Vertigo comics.
I was sick for a few days, and it really sucked. I missed two days, then worked two days, but was still sick at work. I was dizzy up until noon today, about seven hours ago. Yesterday, Beth and I went to the library, then, when we got back, she got hit all at once with whatever flu-cold thingie I had. She barely got me to work, and she missed work today. She's been in bed 21 hours, though she's had to get up almost every ten minutes to rush to the bathroom. I've done all I could to keep her comfortable, and she's now got over a dozen types of medicines and such by the bed.
Normally, I have my headphones on, and am listening to loud music or random movie, cartoon, tv show when I'm at the computer, which is pretty much all day some days, when I get off of work. Hey, I've got bad knees, and I'm on my feet all night, running around like a madman... But, so I could be on call if my baby needed me, I needed to find a more silent way to ammuse myself. I ended up downloading the entire run, sofar (since it's still in print) of a comic book that I think EVERYONE would like. First, I'll tell you that it's got no superheroes or aliens or anything like that. This is a book that could happen, the same as some of Stephen King's stuff, such as Cel, his newest book. THe book is called "Y - The Last Man." The premise is simple. One average day in 2002, every creature with a "Y" chromosome drops dead, except for ONE normal guy and his monkey...
I read four years worth, 43 issues, in ONE sitting. You might not have that level of commitment, but you can read the first issue for free, the owners have legally posted it online.
http://www.dccomics.com/media/excerpts/1736_x_1.pdf It's a DC Vertigo title, which means it's for "mature audiences", there's lots of curse words, lots of blood (though not necessarilly gore), a bunch of tits, and one flacid penis. "I'm a grower, not a shower" says Yorick, and god bless him. I wish I'd had that expression back in '96, when I was first learning how to get naked in front of a girl...
Check that!
Gotta love this shit...
Now, if you download shit, which you shouldn't do unless you own it in real life, cuz that's leeching and leeching, I'm told, is wrong, then you can use this link:
http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3462416 to download issues 1 through 43 in really nicely sized files. The whole dealie is less than five hundred mb. It's just the right size to read them in Comic Book Reader. To make your life even easier, you can get the reader, FREE, here:
http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay I LOVE that damn reader. Loads JPEG, PNG and static GIF images which are automatically ordered and presented for viewing one at a time or two at a time. The images may be in a zip, rar, ace or tar archive file - no need to decompress before reading. Page through the images sequentially and scroll around pages with single key presses. Automatic page sizing: none; fit to screen, fit to width of screen, fit to width of screen if oversized, display at specific height, or display two pages. Resizing uses Lanczos interpolation for best picture quality.
well, that's what I've got for y'all today...
I can't remember if I ever did the "food, drugs, and alcohol" post. I've got like a thousand images of VERY random food, drugs, and alcohol images, but only a few have been sitting in my photobucket for like a year now. I'll throw them up, no pun intended, Beth, now...
Run right up to the screen and circle your favorite!
