Keep the comment box. We don’t, or at least I don’t, presssure you into anything and I think anyone who is would just be mean. It’s your portogative to choose whatyou do and when, don’t listen to those guys. Or me, in fact, especially me! That jerk Superduck always telling you what to do, kick his ass!
So, to continue discussion of Moe buried alive – he’s likely pretty close to the surface (and in a pretty cheap coffin) if he could hear people talking above him. This being said – Moe is likely g’moe’ing to the great beyond.
I don’t think he heard what they said, just realized where he was. That was there to show us as the reader where he was, because it wasn’t clear before.
Duck pun.

Apology for duck pun.
Quack.
Too tired to fill this out, you guys know me as well as I do, fill this out for me.
Going to bed now…n
you know, I never thought I’d admit this but on a “real schedule”, I have no idea how often Firman is actually supposed to update with a new comic. Can someone shed some light on my situation?
also
Superduck your pun mastery is so advanced and fluid that you’ve reached Lvl. 98: Subconscious Subtlety Pun-Maestro.
This simply means every spelling mistake you make on here forthwith is actually a pun that’s so above our heads we can only image what it could possibly mean.
I think Sir Lord Firman runs on an “inspiration” schedule although it’s meant to be on a “M’oes”day” update. However, to ensure that update, it is our loyal zealot fanaticism that helps inspiration inspire insprational inspiritation.
Moe escapes by removing the hole where his stomach was, and attaching it to the coffin above him. Therefore, there is a gap through which he can free himself.
I don’t think there’s been any reference Moe having (using) a Moe’ble phone, but we can hope. Actually, that’s going to be my theme for this comic/forum series.
Not to change gears, but something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while is “Fav’moe’rite Moe ‘Moe’ments” (and that looks like a bit too much Moe). Which is to say – what is your favorite action, joke, or just single panel?
when Bo threw that car at Moe’s head. I just remembered that out of the blue – it is without a doubt one of the moments I laughed hardest at this comic.
Anything with Bo in it, I like. This includes Bo by himself, Bo being super smart, Bo seeing Moe has two water guns, believes he’s going to -play- with at least one of those, and then getting akimbo water jets to the face. Heh heh heh. Bo is awesome.
(Which I should clarify, it’s not -really- day 26, I just tend to use the day of the month for ease. Maybe later on I’ll just make up numbers. We’ll see)
yeah I dunno, my comment motivation’s been pretty low these days. Not that I’m giving up on Moe or anything, I’ll be around for a long time. It’s just one of those weeks.
I’m commenting less because i’m working on my website and trying feebly to draw comics, but i will try to comment too!
Incidentally, those 2 spaces at the top right about advertising, i can’t use them yet because the website doesn’t really have any backlog, but when i can, what do i do about that? Should i contact Mr Firman Himself or is it a Project Wonderful thing?
Even though we may be tired we must persevere. This comic has been up for years and has a unique brand of humor (and art) not seen elsewhere. The Moe in all of us needs all of us to be all of us – all the Moe. Don’t let your inner Moe down.
I wonder if Moe is allergic to anything. Personally, I bet I have a few minor allergies but really fortunate not to have anything flare up. Oh, allergic to pain though.
Some treatments involve tolerance building, whereby you have tiny amounts of the thing you can’t have untill it no longer effects you, and then increase the amount. Don’t see why I should bother, but it’s good for people with say lactose intolerance.
apparently people with lactose intolerance are the normal ones, because humans are born without lactase, the enzyme needed to digest dairy prodcuts. we’re the only species to drink another’s milk.
uh.. not that this has anything to do with Moe. Unless he’s lactose intolerant. In that case, it’s -vital-.
Trying to use HTML code in these comments. I know some of them accept it.
That link which doesn’t work was something like this. Quack!
But without either @ symbols.
That is, if that shows up at all, i put @ symbols in it so it wouldn’t realize it was HTML code.
On another note, we’re nearing 100 comments, so it’s high time to get the old steady war-comment-drumbeat going again. Let’s make this happen, gents and madams.
Do i have to go into a huge explanation of what i am trying to do?
HTML code is the basis for websites, this website, and most other websites are made of it. If you right click and press ‘view source’ you can see it all.
HTML coding can effect everything from backgrounds and frames, to the colours and sizes of text and the insertion of pictures.
Knowing some coding myself, having built my own website which i have already mentioned and Ed has so kindly visited, with the help of my friends and brother, i thought i would try to change the colours of the text i was using in this comment box with simple coding, as i know some comment systems accept it. For example, with no spaces, typing , , and then what you want to write, then , then , the text you add should be bold.
That’s just an example, i can’t actually show you code myself because if i try it erases the code and tries to do things to the text with it, but ultimately fail, hence the broken link in my previous comment.
I think that the forums/comments area of this website doesn’t allow what you’re doing Superduck although it does seem to let in links. (Because I remember we had a different link from someone else a while back) Personally, I think you should keep trying and let us know (if you don’t mind) how successful or unsuccessful certain efforts are.
oh. Sorry for being so inept at the internet, Duck. I agree with Greg, you should maybe just keep slipping splashes of code and see what works in your future comments.
I chose NCR because Powder Gangers are idiots who fire on me out of the blue, and somehow I lose karma for defending myself (and taking their shit afterwards).
I have SMB for the PC. I’ve got all except…3 or 4 bandaids, and unlocked every warp zone character except The Guy because that shit is hard. Also completed every world, and most of the dark worlds. But i’m just a platforming guy, so, i’m sure you guys will do well too! Just keep trying levels over and over untill you win, and if you can’t go back and unlock new characters you can use to get past.
Yes, that is one of the main jokes of the game.
Super Meat Boy
Super Mario Bros
SMB
They are both platformers, only Super Meat Boy is basically one of the hardest games ever.
No as hard as IWBTGTMTG though. (I wanna be the guy the movie the game’
However you can unlock the main character from that (The Kid) if you complete a certain warp zone, the problem being it’s 3 consecutive levels in the style of IWBTGTMTG. I spent 3 hours on the first one, did it, and the second one was even harder so i gave up.
Oh man, don’t get me started on IWBTG. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a video game. The Dracula boss fight in particular gets me every time. “Behold my true form and despair” indeed.
Not to say it isn’t hard as balls, though. I think the funny moments are the reward for the hundreds of deaths, even if they kill you anyway.
Huh, I don’t remember that, and I’ve completed it. I do remember that if you watch the full cut-scene before Dracula that he throws his martini at you and you die.
That whole cut-scene also never fails to make me laugh. I mean, the original is funny enough, with the hilariously bad voice-acting and cheesy dialogue, but throw in The Kid’s high-pitched voice and it’s even funnier. And the wineglass thing is just brilliant. I’ve never played another game that could match IWBTG’s sadistic creativity when it comes to killing you.
On the topic of difficult platformers, has anyone played VVVVVV? It’s difficult as hell at parts, but it’s so much fun that I couldn’t put it down.
It’s just pronounced ‘V’, but it stands for moving up and down, as it looks like a zigzagged line. The aim of the game is to change the direction of gravity to solve puzzles as you play as Captain Viridian. I’ve never played it myself, but you can unlock him as a character on Super Meat Boy, if you get 90 out of the 100 bandages. For 100 you get Steve is it? From Minecraft. Anyway i’ve never got him, but you can’t unlock achievements as him because he is game-breakingly powerful. He can make or destroy any block, so he can just complete any level : /
That’s actually one of my favorite video game titles, as you can read at least three layers of meaning into it. The first is the one Superduck mentioned, representing your ability to move from floor to ceiling. The second is that each V stands for the name of one of the main characters (Viridian, Vermilion, Violet, Vitellary, Verdigris, and Victoria). And the third is that it resembles a row of spikes, which is your most common obstacle in the game.
I get the feeling that we’re kind of hogging all the discussion, though. Shall we change the subject?
No, not at all! All I ask is that you give a full name every once in a while so I can research and understand. This is a great opportunity to learn about games I likely have missed, but it’s hard to understand what I’ve missed when I don’t understand. Please continue!
And Moe -would- have suffocated by now, if he wasn’t Moe. One of the Moe’l people and thus used to living beneath the Earth where little oxygen reaches them.
Today I got into a conversation with someone over lunch about premature burials in history, and I was able to confirm that people used to tie ropes with bells to the hands of the buried – thanks for making me look smart, Moe!
Feel better, Greg – you’re the High General in our small legion of commenters here, can’t function without you 😉
Private First Class Freako it is! Seriously, we should start making up medals and ribbons next. We have all survived many campaigns together and should each have our accolades.
But seriously, carp, thank you. Your words meant a lot to me. Let us soldier on!
Oh man if Freako made Private First Class that probably makes me less than a recruit. Oh well, I guess I’m off to clean the latrines that the toilets use. Messily.
Ah, Recruit Ton, do not worry. With that kind of attitude you’ll soar immediately. But seriously, why do we have latrines for the toilets? I thought the toilets just had bushes. Does that mean the latrines have to use the bushes now? Man, those bushes must me pissed.
Meh, I don’t get the big deal with valentines day. Guess that’s because I’ve never had a girlfriend though : /
it’s probably just an excuse to do it anyway, so…
Happy doing it day.

Moe is incredibly self aware
January 17th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
wat
January 17th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
Moe reads cracked, aparently
January 17th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
ahaha
love you firman
January 17th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
He’s doomed.
Just had to get that out there.
January 17th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Cooooomment.
Keep the comment box. We don’t, or at least I don’t, presssure you into anything and I think anyone who is would just be mean.

For whom the bell moe’s.
January 18th, 2011 at 5:14 am
It does not Moe for thee.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:47 am
BAHAHA awww moe so coot
January 18th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
So, to continue discussion of Moe buried alive – he’s likely pretty close to the surface (and in a pretty cheap coffin) if he could hear people talking above him. This being said – Moe is likely g’moe’ing to the great beyond.

I don’t think he heard what they said, just realized where he was. That was there to show us as the reader where he was, because it wasn’t clear before.

Going to bed now…n
January 19th, 2011 at 12:32 am
no one can do em like you, Superduck.
January 19th, 2011 at 5:23 am
What the heck is “portogative”? LOL
January 19th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Patience works wonders, xD
January 19th, 2011 at 4:50 pm
I think he was saying “prerogative”, but his Duck accent can get in the way of human speech.
January 19th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
(sea)PORTogative
he was obviously making another one of his amazing puns
January 19th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
ilu Firman <3
January 19th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Many of these things could be, and maybe are true. In reality, it is really hard to type on an iPod. Still, a man can dream.
Anyone else have a rubbish day today? Everyone I know had a rubbish day today. Me personally, I dropped a mug on my foot and it smashed and cut me.
January 19th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Nice mug too, one side had a cows head eating a daisy and being pretty cool, and the other side had it’s bum.
A tragic loss to use all…
January 19th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
omg, poor Moe, i hope he gets out of there somehow.
January 20th, 2011 at 12:16 am
Yes, Superduck, we are all very sorry for the loss of your cow mug. The world is truly a darker place with it gone.
January 20th, 2011 at 1:43 am
you know, I never thought I’d admit this but on a “real schedule”, I have no idea how often Firman is actually supposed to update with a new comic. Can someone shed some light on my situation?

Moe escapes by removing the hole where his stomach was, and attaching it to the coffin above him. Therefore, there is a gap through which he can free himself.
That’s working science right there.
You can trust me, I’m dead!
January 20th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
That or remembering he has a mobile phone.
January 20th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
A Moe’ble phone.
January 21st, 2011 at 4:30 pm
I don’t think there’s been any reference Moe having (using) a Moe’ble phone, but we can hope. Actually, that’s going to be my theme for this comic/forum series.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:38 am
Maybe he has a folded paper Moe’ble phone, similar to his and Bo’s folded paper DS’s?
January 22nd, 2011 at 8:34 am
Bloody brilliant!
January 22nd, 2011 at 1:03 pm
I can see it now.
He tries to use it, then says ‘Damn, wrong number’
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:02 pm
once i was drunk and tried to use my wallet as a cellphone.
it… was an extremely frustrating experience.
January 22nd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Not to change gears, but something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while is “Fav’moe’rite Moe ‘Moe’ments” (and that looks like a bit too much Moe). Which is to say – what is your favorite action, joke, or just single panel?
January 22nd, 2011 at 8:36 pm
I liked it when it said ‘Dope’ in big gold letters and he had shades.
I’ve said before though, my favourite one is the one in the pie shop where he horrified that guy with a man made if pies.
January 23rd, 2011 at 12:53 am
when Bo threw that car at Moe’s head. I just remembered that out of the blue – it is without a doubt one of the moments I laughed hardest at this comic.
SO GOOD
January 23rd, 2011 at 12:53 am
or ‘Bose Headphones’, but I’m sure that’s basically Moe canon around these parts by now
January 23rd, 2011 at 4:52 am
Anything with Bo in it, I like. This includes Bo by himself, Bo being super smart, Bo seeing Moe has two water guns, believes he’s going to -play- with at least one of those, and then getting akimbo water jets to the face. Heh heh heh. Bo is awesome.
January 23rd, 2011 at 6:06 am
all i can think whenever i read superduck’s science comment, is “PROBLEM OFFICER???”
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:25 pm
I don’t get it. Should I pretend I do?
January 24th, 2011 at 5:29 am
i wouldnt bother, it was just a troll physics reference, wasnt really that humerous
January 24th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
My favorite was when the weird troll-man ignored his daughter’s request to return the cart to the store, and it blew up his new car. Hi-Larious.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
I get it!
I don’t get it.
January 25th, 2011 at 3:04 am
Hey! Sorry I’m late. California time has me thrown off. Okay, so my second favorite is a real fight amongst most of Moe’s dialogue. For example…
MOE: “Can you send a police car to take me home?”
OPERATOR: “Sir, the police are not a taxi service.”
MOE: “Well, I wouldn’t -pay- them.”
Heh heh heh. I still laugh about that.
January 25th, 2011 at 3:42 am
Mine was when that crazy doctor was talking to Moe and asked him if that was a purple condom on his head xD
Also when he went for ice cream with the Sumo. Idk why, just cause 😀
January 25th, 2011 at 9:33 am
Moe is still twiddling his fingers up there, just waiting for the next comic to be drawn so he can escape.
*Drum*
*Drum*
*Drum*

Mwa…ha…haaaaaaaah.

Day 98. The going gets tough, but we carry on with vigor…!
January 27th, 2011 at 10:42 am
Day 563.
I think we have entirely lost track of time, as well as our minds.
January 27th, 2011 at 10:52 am
Day N. It appears time and space follow different rules here.
January 27th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
Man we are just updating at a snails pace here.

LOG 2,564
I have run out of funny, moe, and comic, i will try to survive until i can find anything, i say it’ll be about oh i don’t know 500 YEARS
January 28th, 2011 at 6:59 am
yeah I dunno, my comment motivation’s been pretty low these days. Not that I’m giving up on Moe or anything, I’ll be around for a long time. It’s just one of those weeks.

January 29th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
My inner Moe was killed in a freak kiwi accident.
Speaking of which, had some kiwi juice the other day, it’s really nice. Now has good taste.
January 29th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
So it didn’t before?
January 30th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I’m a fan of kiwis. That furry husk always kind of disconcerted me, though.
January 30th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
Uh, i mean Moe, not now. Damn you predictive texting!
January 30th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
@Superduck’s Ghost
I am actually really allergic to kiwi. No other fruits. Just kiwi.
January 30th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
@speakerblast
Like the animal?
January 31st, 2011 at 8:05 am
I’m allergic to aerosols, and sick medicine.
Had sick medicine when i was a kid, and it made me sick. Everywhere. Oh the irony!
January 31st, 2011 at 3:03 pm
I used to be allergic to chocolate
got treated, though I can’t remember the specifics of the treatment.
January 31st, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I wonder if Moe is allergic to anything. Personally, I bet I have a few minor allergies but really fortunate not to have anything flare up. Oh, allergic to pain though.

February 1st, 2011 at 3:20 pm
I don’t think it’s ever come up….about Moe, that is. I’ll have to check the archives now.
February 1st, 2011 at 8:55 pm
:0
We need more data!
Activate… the machine!
February 1st, 2011 at 10:34 pm
moooo
February 2nd, 2011 at 1:45 am
Why does the machine go moo?
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:30 pm
All I’ve found so far is the Nurse in the subway station. So Moe is apparently allergic to bad judgment, but little else.
February 2nd, 2011 at 5:17 pm
The machine is in fact a cow. And by activate it i mean wake it up.
Milk the cow! I command it!
February 3rd, 2011 at 2:38 am

Quack.
Quack!
February 3rd, 2011 at 10:55 am
Aw.
Colour change and size don’t work, but apparently linking using href does.
Can’t think of a use for that though, so…
February 3rd, 2011 at 11:01 am
Wonder if pictures work. I doubt it.
February 3rd, 2011 at 11:30 am
Hm. What exactly is it that you’re trying to do?
February 3rd, 2011 at 3:26 pm
Lord Sir Firman is in the UK?

I’m pretty sure he’s in Canada, Greg.

Hey, after you kill all the convicts in Primm, is it better to turn the town over to the Powder Ganger guy or the NCR?
February 5th, 2011 at 12:06 am
I chose NCR because Powder Gangers are idiots who fire on me out of the blue, and somehow I lose karma for defending myself (and taking their shit afterwards).
February 5th, 2011 at 6:04 am
WHOA WHOA WHOA!
All it takes is one Fallout 3 (possibly Fallout 3: Vegas) question and we get a visit from Sir Lord Firman? Why wasn’t that in the holy writings?
February 5th, 2011 at 10:12 am
I don’t even own that game, it looks rubbish D:
Can’t we talk about awesome games like Left4Dead, old Final Fantasy games and Super Meat Boy?
February 5th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
old Final Fantasy and Super Meat Boy are excellent in my eyes, it’s hard to stress how much I enjoy those enough.
February 5th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
Wait, we have holy writings?
February 5th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
I’m always watching, but reticent. UncleF inspires my commentary more easily because of our personal relationship.
February 5th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
Super Meat Boy is the bomb dot com. I only just started playing it, but damn is it hard.
February 5th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
Yeah, Meat Boy has been responsible for the vast majority of all of my ragequits. But… that’s my favourite part!

I have SMB for the PC. I’ve got all except…3 or 4 bandaids, and unlocked every warp zone character except The Guy because that shit is hard. Also completed every world, and most of the dark worlds. But i’m just a platforming guy, so, i’m sure you guys will do well too! Just keep trying levels over and over untill you win, and if you can’t go back and unlock new characters you can use to get past.

When you said SMB, my first thought was Super Mario Bros. Heheh.
February 6th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
I still don’t know what SMB means.
February 7th, 2011 at 2:03 am
Super Meat Boy.
February 7th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Yes, that is one of the main jokes of the game.
Super Meat Boy
Super Mario Bros
SMB
They are both platformers, only Super Meat Boy is basically one of the hardest games ever.
No as hard as IWBTGTMTG though. (I wanna be the guy the movie the game’
However you can unlock the main character from that (The Kid) if you complete a certain warp zone, the problem being it’s 3 consecutive levels in the style of IWBTGTMTG. I spent 3 hours on the first one, did it, and the second one was even harder so i gave up.

Oh man, don’t get me started on IWBTG. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much at a video game. The Dracula boss fight in particular gets me every time. “Behold my true form and despair” indeed.
Not to say it isn’t hard as balls, though. I think the funny moments are the reward for the hundreds of deaths, even if they kill you anyway.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
Huh, I don’t remember that, and I’ve completed it. I do remember that if you watch the full cut-scene before Dracula that he throws his martini at you and you die.
February 8th, 2011 at 1:12 am
That whole cut-scene also never fails to make me laugh. I mean, the original is funny enough, with the hilariously bad voice-acting and cheesy dialogue, but throw in The Kid’s high-pitched voice and it’s even funnier. And the wineglass thing is just brilliant. I’ve never played another game that could match IWBTG’s sadistic creativity when it comes to killing you.
On the topic of difficult platformers, has anyone played VVVVVV? It’s difficult as hell at parts, but it’s so much fun that I couldn’t put it down.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:21 am
Seriously, are you guys just making up names now?
February 8th, 2011 at 6:19 am
It’s just pronounced ‘V’, but it stands for moving up and down, as it looks like a zigzagged line. The aim of the game is to change the direction of gravity to solve puzzles as you play as Captain Viridian. I’ve never played it myself, but you can unlock him as a character on Super Meat Boy, if you get 90 out of the 100 bandages. For 100 you get Steve is it? From Minecraft. Anyway i’ve never got him, but you can’t unlock achievements as him because he is game-breakingly powerful. He can make or destroy any block, so he can just complete any level : /

That’s actually one of my favorite video game titles, as you can read at least three layers of meaning into it. The first is the one Superduck mentioned, representing your ability to move from floor to ceiling. The second is that each V stands for the name of one of the main characters (Viridian, Vermilion, Violet, Vitellary, Verdigris, and Victoria). And the third is that it resembles a row of spikes, which is your most common obstacle in the game.
I get the feeling that we’re kind of hogging all the discussion, though. Shall we change the subject?
February 9th, 2011 at 2:05 am
No, not at all! All I ask is that you give a full name every once in a while so I can research and understand. This is a great opportunity to learn about games I likely have missed, but it’s hard to understand what I’ve missed when I don’t understand. Please continue!

Im allergic to bullets.
February 9th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
What about lead?
February 9th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
leads? People use em on dogs.
February 10th, 2011 at 12:30 am
I eat bullets for breakfast.
February 10th, 2011 at 1:13 am
I hear bullets make great Valentine’s Day gifts.
February 10th, 2011 at 10:39 am
I think hes suffocated by now.
February 10th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
heh heh heh, that’s a good one Freako.
And Moe -would- have suffocated by now, if he wasn’t Moe. One of the Moe’l people and thus used to living beneath the Earth where little oxygen reaches them.
February 12th, 2011 at 5:08 pm
How many days have I missed? Sorry, I’ve been out for nearly a week with a serious fever/cold. Can’t let the good fight not get fought fighting.
February 13th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Today I got into a conversation with someone over lunch about premature burials in history, and I was able to confirm that people used to tie ropes with bells to the hands of the buried – thanks for making me look smart, Moe!
Feel better, Greg – you’re the High General in our small legion of commenters here, can’t function without you 😉
February 13th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
I must simply be a peon, havn’t commented in a while and no-one started projectile vomiting because of it.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
I had more of a fun time picturing a duck in a little helmet, to be honest.
February 13th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
‘Corporal Quack’ has a nice ring to it, imo
February 13th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
If Superduck’s a Corporal, then I must be a Private. Maybe Private First Class?
February 14th, 2011 at 1:47 am
Private First Class Freako it is! Seriously, we should start making up medals and ribbons next. We have all survived many campaigns together and should each have our accolades.
But seriously, carp, thank you. Your words meant a lot to me. Let us soldier on!
February 14th, 2011 at 6:55 am
Oh man if Freako made Private First Class that probably makes me less than a recruit. Oh well, I guess I’m off to clean the latrines that the toilets use. Messily.
February 14th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
*again, I arrive laughing*
Ah, Recruit Ton, do not worry. With that kind of attitude you’ll soar immediately. But seriously, why do we have latrines for the toilets? I thought the toilets just had bushes. Does that mean the latrines have to use the bushes now? Man, those bushes must me pissed.
February 14th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Oh, and Happy [swearword swearword] Valentine’s Day, everybody!
February 14th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Meh, I don’t get the big deal with valentines day. Guess that’s because I’ve never had a girlfriend though : /
it’s probably just an excuse to do it anyway, so…
Happy doing it day.
