Ok, the Internet is done now. Shut 'er down!

is it a good thing that i don't get the joke?

See the two links. The original cartoon from 1993 was the first time an Internet joke showed up in the New Yorker and it was a pretty good one, especially since it was pre-Web and not many people were using the Net.

The second one was the more recent discovery that all New Yorker cartoons can be captioned "Christ, what an asshole!" successfully. I didn't want to ruin the joke in the post but it's okay in comments ;)

Hope you don't mind that I added you to my friends list. Found you via springheel_jack and am impressed with your writing.

Should I interpret that as a death threat to cartoon dogs???

I hope someone, somewhere, finds it sexy that when I read this a little spray of snot came zooming out of my nose, so sudden was my chorf.

If not, at least maybe someone, somewhere, has a desire to hand me lots of kleenex and, eventually, tie on my bib and hold my drool cup.

I have not been able to stop saying this all day. Such poetry!

Re: So sudden was my chorf salome_st_john September 8 2006, 17:52:52 UTC

Sadly, such poetry seems only to come when I least expect it. I've been trying to think of a clever response to your lovely compliment, but all that mental exertion has led mostly to napping and candy eating. But that's only because I don't have any pie handy.

Thank you!
