Oh wait Chris basically said that already. BUT STILL OH MY GOD.
This challenges Shawn Handyside’s crown with Staccato for longest dead-but-not-dead comic. Which basically means we’ll get a couple now (maybe) then nothing until another spurt in two years.
we must strive for higher and higher goals. push it to the limit. on a highway to the danger zone. like lets aim for 1575 to start with. just a suggestion
The Baby Gibberish culture has always been a bit of an anthropological mystery, because native speakers of it tend to be too ass-retarded to contribute usefully to any cultural studies…
soldier on dear fellows. our numbers may drops every now and then but fear not we shall always return. why I’ve been coming back to this comic for near 4 years now, and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon.

And Omi, Shaulim, Nimz, and Dr you are right and we shall prevail. Why is it when we are rewarded our spirits slack? Abandon human condition. Believe in the Moe.

Here is what I said:
The traditional date,
Set in March, late,
Has been oft avowed
By the Moe crowd.
There is no 2008.
Links were to comments made regarding Admiral Firman’s birthday in 2012 (under Moe #426), 2011 (under Moe #359 – some digging required), 2010 (under Moe #336), and 2009 (under Moe #237). These supplement the 2013 comment link that did not get caught in moderation. The start of Moe on this site was about two weeks too late for any comments on the same date in 2008 to exist. Sadly I missed sending my birthday greetings to Admiral Firman on the right day this year. My only hope of recovery from that gaffe is that he May Four-give the oversight.
It occurs to me that, in our shared admiration for the Admiral, we’ve all come together and shared time with one another… but are we friends? I don’t know anything about any of you… Nimz, Haiku, Omi, Falos… who are you?
plz dun streotypes ogres are hv felings too but wre jus misundrstoods b/c peopl see our ogre fac n ar like (oh ur n ogre u mus not hav feelins) when we doo
I sadly must be one of the few who cannot make the raw fish and rice gathering as the US of A is much too far away for me to reach on my current budget. i’ll eat fish fingers and rish crackers to be with you guys in spirit
I’ll be in San Francisco from 24th to 27th. Anyone know an easy way to get from SF to LA and back? Is it too unreasonable to make a crazy trip to meet some other Moe fans?
For a scenic route,
The Pacific Coast Highway
Might be a good choice.
A quick look at California roadway maps indicate the 1 (PCH mentioned above) and the 101 both go through SF and LA. If you want to drive, that’s one possible route. Google maps seems to think taking the 580 (eastbound) to the 5 (which goes all the way to LA) is the best route. It’s “only” about 380 miles (about 6h in current traffic — of course “current” is 9pm in California). Depending on the car, you ought to be able to make it one way on a single tank of gas.
So the driving option round trip would be ~12h on the road and about $80 if you drive a car that gets relatively decent fuel economy. Crazy? Absolutely. Unreasonable? Your call.
Booking a flight (SFO — LAX / LAX — SFO) would probably cost about twice as much as driving, but a) faster transit (probably still faster with airport security factored in), b) you don’t have to worry as much about insane California drivers. I would suggest looking for what deals you can get on a flight — you might find something my surface-scratching didn’t.
You can try looking up bus/train routes, but I have no experience with California’s bus and train routes. It looks like the least expensive way to get from SF to LA and back, but I don’t know how close to schedule / how comfortable / etc. it would be.
Alas, such things are not in my agenda. I am a fervent East Coaster, and every time I’ve been in California I’ve felt myself wanting to explode. I know not why it brings me to such rage. Perhaps it’s the price of tobacco, or gasoline, or just being several thousand miles from where you belong.
But, to all the rest, enjoy! Hoist your raw fish and rice and look to the sea!
(Man, you guys are so much better at this rhyming thing than I am)
(Two hats off to you! One with both hands but each to its gentleman. I shan’t give up but damn if I’m going to be careful when I try)
…fer ser’isly though
I came for mo’ Moe
and got served out the do’h
Now I don’t even know
what to do where to go
I ain’t fit for the show
I ain’t match toe to toe
I’ll get pwnd mo’ fo’ sho’
bros be fast I be slow
I done lost all my soul
I done lost my row row
ain’t fight powa no mo’
I’m ashamed to throw mo’
I’m ashamed to throw Moe
I give up I’ll go home
This Moe’cean City of which you speak? Would that be the New Jersey, Maryland, or some other vacant seaside trap to which tourists gather to singe beneath the fury and might of the merciless daystar?
Moe’cean City in NJ or in MD! They’re both about the same distance for me. I recently partook of the vitamin D from the merciless sunstar at one of those Moe’cean Cities ^_^
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone
to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this
from. many thanks
Alas, Convertible car seat, the best way to reach our Admiral Firman is to write your questions neatly upon a piece of fine vellum, roll it up tightly into a wine bottle, seal tightly with a cork and wax and toss it into the nearest sea.
February 24th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Today is a good day.
February 24th, 2014 at 8:20 pm
My only lament
Is that I didn’t post first…
But new Moe! Hooray!
Firman understands
The plight of the stupid ones
Playing tricky games
February 24th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
Moe is a linguist!
Unfortunately, cognates
From Baby are rare.
February 25th, 2014 at 12:04 am
new moe makes me giddy with excitement. thank you lord firman
February 25th, 2014 at 8:02 am
Yay new Moe! <3
February 25th, 2014 at 11:51 am
Has Elliot aged a bit since we last saw him? I think I see some gray about his temples …
THANK YOU SO MUCH, FIRMAN! Our wait has not been in vain!
February 25th, 2014 at 12:46 pm
Hey, we spoke the same language back in the day!
February 25th, 2014 at 2:46 pm
This is really great!
Thanks for putting this up, mate.
Moe never gets old.
February 25th, 2014 at 3:07 pm
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. This makes me happy.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
Jetpack Hunk, meanwhile,
Is playing `Bo’ggle with Bo.
Both skip “bongoy”.
February 25th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
I don’t know the rules
Of Boggle, which is OK
Because I can’t spell
February 26th, 2014 at 5:09 am
ITSA MOE
February 26th, 2014 at 12:11 pm
Let me be one more to say HOORAY for the return of Moe.
February 26th, 2014 at 7:36 pm

Ahh, the pee stains are but a distant memory.
February 28th, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Falos, you are right,
But you are also very wrong.
Admirals return.
February 28th, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Admirals always return

March 5th, 2014 at 2:33 pm
My friends, where are you?
Oh yeah. Spring Break. It’s this week.
Or…am I…ignored?
March 5th, 2014 at 8:52 pm
In Australia
We don’t have spring break at all
It’s shitty Autumn
March 5th, 2014 at 8:54 pm
What is the new goal
For this to-be well of posts?
One Thousand again?
March 6th, 2014 at 3:05 am
we must strive for higher and higher goals. push it to the limit. on a highway to the danger zone. like lets aim for 1575 to start with. just a suggestion
March 7th, 2014 at 2:03 pm
I wonder if Moe still likes ethnic cuisine from his first language — like strained peas or sweet potato puree

I am doubtful of
That format’s similitude
To a true bongo.
March 11th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
Nimz, you mean the drums?
The ancient art of Bo Bo?
Or is it the game?
March 12th, 2014 at 2:48 am
Doesn’t matter which:
The resemblance is lacking
For any of those.
March 17th, 2014 at 6:46 pm
Our paths have crossed here
Yet our duties are elsewhere
My friends, bon goyage
March 17th, 2014 at 11:48 pm
A heartfelt farewell
Made inappropriately
Funny by typo
March 20th, 2014 at 12:43 pm
Bongoy – a French Yiddish word which means literally “good gentile.”
March 22nd, 2014 at 5:39 am
Moe’s true heritage?
Not that it even matters,
I think it’s over…
Has everyone resigned from their positions as Firman’s fan club?
March 22nd, 2014 at 10:15 am
Is that what this is?
I guess they’re Firman tribute.
The poems, I mean.
I come once a week.
I only poem so fast.
Maybe there’s new Moe.
March 23rd, 2014 at 3:31 am
If played off of Y,
Moe should be able to use
BONY or GOONY.
March 23rd, 2014 at 7:22 am
Goony? I don’t know…
The singular of Goonies?
Moe the son of Sloth?
March 24th, 2014 at 12:54 am
Goony – like a goon?
Or perhaps part of a phrase…
Goony birds are real.
March 28th, 2014 at 6:09 am
It’s happened you guys
Fans have deserted this place
A great derelict
Now we must decide
Do we continue the tale?
Or retire it here?
March 28th, 2014 at 10:51 am
soldier on dear fellows. our numbers may drops every now and then but fear not we shall always return. why I’ve been coming back to this comic for near 4 years now, and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon.

Every year, there are hundreds of people have birthdays. But today is special, because it is for a special person, someone who is one in the hundreds.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL FIRMAN! I hope it rocks out for you!

Has it been a year?
Great glory and salutations!
May he live…..so long

And Omi, Shaulim, Nimz, and Dr you are right and we shall prevail. Why is it when we are rewarded our spirits slack? Abandon human condition. Believe in the Moe.
(And then believe in Bo when Moe lets you down)
March 29th, 2014 at 5:51 am
A Happy Birthday
Is sure to come to Firman
With all our support
So… I don’t know what we do now…
Why Haiku? Why is the human condition so spiteful…
March 30th, 2014 at 5:39 pm
You made him a page?
You are much too kind, Keta.
gratz2u, Firman.
March 31st, 2014 at 12:32 am
Falos, that webpage
Has been around for some time.
It’s traditional.
That said, I do hope
Firman had an excellent
Day of birthdayness.

April 2nd, 2014 at 3:23 am
I’m pretty sure the Admiral is immortal
April 2nd, 2014 at 3:56 am
Firman, a phoenix:
Annually reborn each year
On the Fourth of May.
Like the one in myths,
The Admiral in dessert
Can live centuries.
April 2nd, 2014 at 11:14 pm

April 3rd, 2014 at 6:22 am
Sherk the (dumb) ogre:
Gramatically challenged
Mocking our tributes
Firman the phoenix
Will rise from his black ashes
And scorch this big jerk

Comic four-five-one
is immensely rewarding
upon re-reading.

Put conflict aside;
Let’s just enjoy creations
From some guy (Firman)
April 4th, 2014 at 12:45 pm
The Admiral’s Ship
Is a crew of all takers.
The Doctor is right.
April 6th, 2014 at 3:22 am
Another Sunday here.
Is this the beginning now?
Or is it week’s end?
April 6th, 2014 at 8:37 am
Sunday is the start:
Because no-one with a brain
Likes a Monday start
April 7th, 2014 at 11:10 am
The Doctor is wise.
Let us rest before we work
And end with more rest.
April 7th, 2014 at 11:10 am

April 11th, 2014 at 8:34 am
A couple days passed
Without any form of poem
So here’s a haiku
April 11th, 2014 at 8:38 am
It occurs to me that, in our shared admiration for the Admiral, we’ve all come together and shared time with one another… but are we friends? I don’t know anything about any of you… Nimz, Haiku, Omi, Falos… who are you?
April 11th, 2014 at 12:56 pm
Are we similar?
Bonded by common language?
Maybe that’s just “poo”.
April 11th, 2014 at 1:37 pm
Poo poo poo poo poo:
Poo poo poo poo poo poo poo,
Poo poo poo poo poo.
There is deep meaning
In the previous haiku:
Poo punctuation.
April 11th, 2014 at 2:43 pm
we are the loyal disciples of the admiral. outside of that i’m an out of work student with too much spare time.
April 12th, 2014 at 11:57 pm
Dr, I am Gregory. I sell books and live in Texas. Equally as well, I am interested in learning the other disciples of the Admiral and his creations.
April 13th, 2014 at 2:05 am
I am student, too.
The discipline I study
Is Mathematics.
My current speech mode
Is stuck in Five-Seven-Five.
It’s a numbers game.
In my spare time… HAH!
Grad students don’t get spare time.
(Vanishing excuse)
April 13th, 2014 at 3:04 am

I am just some deadbeat guy
Who tutors kids
I finished high school
And don’t wanna start Uni
Sometimes I travel
But always with Moe
I checked this site from afar:

No Christmas for us this year.
Enjoy these moments.

At least we still have Easter this year, today.
April 22nd, 2014 at 10:05 am
3 days and no talk…
I hope everyone is fine
And just chilling out
April 22nd, 2014 at 5:05 pm

Good Doctor M-ski,
The lotto depends on you.
I forget your home.
May 1st, 2014 at 2:02 am
In Australia
It’s called (aptly) “Ozlotto”
Help me win, Haiku
May 1st, 2014 at 2:41 am
Dear Doctor Oz-M,
It is now Thursday, over here.
Good luck! Scratch and win!
May 1st, 2014 at 1:35 pm
DrMorganski, I recommend you use the following numbers for your Ozlotto:
4, 14, 17, 28, 31, 50, Powerball 11

I was just too young before…

jesus I was away for ages. and I totally missed the admirals birthday. I’ve let him down, and I’ve let the team down. must commit sudoku
May 9th, 2014 at 8:36 am
Committing Haiku would be fine too; anything that’s vaguely oriental would do
May 9th, 2014 at 12:42 pm
This is vaguely oriental!
http://www.rawbh.com/
May 11th, 2014 at 9:30 pm
Things that are vaguely oriental:
Starcraft
MMORPGs
Cranes
Martial arts
Paper lanterns
Fortune cookies
That girl’s tattoo
May 11th, 2014 at 11:09 pm
That Raw Fish and Rice place does sound vaguely oriental… in the vaguest sense, anyone live in Beverly Hills?
May 12th, 2014 at 11:06 am
In the vaguest sense, I had family who lived there but no longer. I still have family that live -near- there, but not forever.
May 12th, 2014 at 6:54 pm
Raw fish and rice spot?
Would it be too bold to say
“ROAD TRIP FOR MEETUP!!!”?
May 12th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
Nimz you renegade,
internet meetups are bold…
And I live in Aus
Although, to be fair,
I’m visiting LA soon.
In late July…
May 13th, 2014 at 9:07 am
A road trip from Oz
To the large U S of A;
More of a sea trip.
May 13th, 2014 at 10:03 am
Moe Meetup at Raw Fish and Rice? ROAD TRIP, ROAD TRIP!
May 13th, 2014 at 6:33 pm
Late July, you say?
That’s when you come to LA?
Raw fish and rice day!
May 14th, 2014 at 5:45 am

Would this be a crime?
I’m up for it!

I’ll be in Northern California the last weekend in July.. What a coincidence! Maybe I can catch a train down to LA
May 15th, 2014 at 11:04 am
The real questions are
Can the Admiral make it?
Does he eat raw fish?
May 19th, 2014 at 3:04 am
If this meetup is
What glory it will be forever.
Already tears of joy.
May 19th, 2014 at 8:47 am
A strange occurence
Strangers bonding over Moe
In a stranger place…
May 22nd, 2014 at 9:45 am
This plan is stupid.
Driving across the country?
(might go anyway)
May 27th, 2014 at 12:41 pm
Out to sea, I was
seeking our famed Admiral
Alas, he was in port.
May 29th, 2014 at 10:09 am
I sadly must be one of the few who cannot make the raw fish and rice gathering as the US of A is much too far away for me to reach on my current budget. i’ll eat fish fingers and rish crackers to be with you guys in spirit
May 31st, 2014 at 2:14 pm
I can toast to that:
To Omi and rish crackers!
And fish fingers, too.
June 2nd, 2014 at 1:33 am
Someday Omi,
Someday

GROSS!
June 9th, 2014 at 3:32 am
Ew, ew, ew, ew, EEW!
Why would you do that, Doram?
I ought to brain you.
June 9th, 2014 at 11:06 pm
A terrible choice
Of heartwarming memories
It was, infact, gross
In LA from 21st July -> 27th, Raw Fish and Rice day is when?
June 10th, 2014 at 9:10 am
I’ll be in San Francisco from 24th to 27th. Anyone know an easy way to get from SF to LA and back? Is it too unreasonable to make a crazy trip to meet some other Moe fans?
June 11th, 2014 at 12:24 am
For a scenic route,
The Pacific Coast Highway
Might be a good choice.
A quick look at California roadway maps indicate the 1 (PCH mentioned above) and the 101 both go through SF and LA. If you want to drive, that’s one possible route. Google maps seems to think taking the 580 (eastbound) to the 5 (which goes all the way to LA) is the best route. It’s “only” about 380 miles (about 6h in current traffic — of course “current” is 9pm in California). Depending on the car, you ought to be able to make it one way on a single tank of gas.
So the driving option round trip would be ~12h on the road and about $80 if you drive a car that gets relatively decent fuel economy. Crazy? Absolutely. Unreasonable? Your call.
Booking a flight (SFO — LAX / LAX — SFO) would probably cost about twice as much as driving, but a) faster transit (probably still faster with airport security factored in), b) you don’t have to worry as much about insane California drivers. I would suggest looking for what deals you can get on a flight — you might find something my surface-scratching didn’t.
You can try looking up bus/train routes, but I have no experience with California’s bus and train routes. It looks like the least expensive way to get from SF to LA and back, but I don’t know how close to schedule / how comfortable / etc. it would be.
June 11th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
oh maaaaaan! what a crock
July travel plans just changed…
Off to New Orleans
(well crap… I’ll have to hit a Moe meetup some other time)
June 11th, 2014 at 9:20 pm
First is a colon
Then the close parenthesis

June 12th, 2014 at 5:14 am
Ah, Doramjan. So it looks like you are…
(•_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
… going to LA after all.
June 13th, 2014 at 10:53 pm
We may, someday, have the very first Moecon someday.
June 15th, 2014 at 12:03 am
Someday.
In LA.
What do you say?
(Update every way)
June 15th, 2014 at 7:25 am
Let Moecon begin
This July; Los Angeles
Whoo let’s do it guys
June 16th, 2014 at 1:23 am
A flippant comment
Spiralling out of control.
`Moe’re raw fish and rice?
DrMorganski, I suggest
You decide Moecon’s date now, lest
In waiting until late July
Others are unable to try
Scheduling themselves as a guest.
June 16th, 2014 at 1:43 am
Very well I propose
(In a more western prose)
That the 23rd be the date
For Moecon’s first fate
Before the time slot is closed
June 16th, 2014 at 11:01 am
The date is perfect
But. I live in Texas. Dang.
Next year, in L A?
June 16th, 2014 at 2:01 pm
Alas, such things are not in my agenda. I am a fervent East Coaster, and every time I’ve been in California I’ve felt myself wanting to explode. I know not why it brings me to such rage. Perhaps it’s the price of tobacco, or gasoline, or just being several thousand miles from where you belong.
But, to all the rest, enjoy! Hoist your raw fish and rice and look to the sea!
June 16th, 2014 at 3:38 pm
Fren, I too am an east coaster (mid-Atlantic). Let us organize a MoeConEast — in Moe’cean City!
June 16th, 2014 at 10:19 pm
Looks like it’s a bust;
I’m not going to Moecon
If I’ll be alone
June 17th, 2014 at 3:10 pm
When you’re all alone
MoeCon happens around you
You can’t not attend.
June 19th, 2014 at 7:33 pm
Palindr’moe’ is the wisdom within the wisdom of wisdom itself.

Wise

Wisdom of the wise
To make wise the wizened eyes
Answers Best Pie’s whys.
In case you were wondering, the answer is “Because.”
June 24th, 2014 at 9:21 pm
Rhyming haiku, man…
Or are these simply koan?
Raw fish and rice plan.
Creative juice spill:
There is a leak in the still.
What is all this swill?
Disconnected thoughts
Hide the insomniac’s plots:
Confuse the robots.
The Moe within us -
Inner hare is suspicious
Without hair to muss.
June 25th, 2014 at 12:11 am
Perhaps we can plan
The next Moe-Con in Japan,
Or Firmanistan?
I think I feel ill,
Ever since I ate my fill
Of raw rice and krill!
I’m tortured by thoughts
Of ripe, avocado cots;
My mind’s tied in knots.
There’s no need to fuss:
Do a good that’s double-plus—
Don’t drive; ride the bus!
June 27th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
(Man, you guys are so much better at this rhyming thing than I am)
(Two hats off to you! One with both hands but each to its gentleman. I shan’t give up but damn if I’m going to be careful when I try)
June 29th, 2014 at 1:56 pm
Know the Moesday and keep it Moesy.
July 3rd, 2014 at 2:04 pm
Know the Thursday and keep it…wait, I missed a few days here.
July 7th, 2014 at 7:04 pm
It’s so hot today,
I wouldn’t call it Moesday.
It’s more like Fry-day.
July 7th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Haiku’s right, those are hard acts to follow.
…fer ser’isly though
I came for mo’ Moe
and got served out the do’h
Now I don’t even know
what to do where to go
I ain’t fit for the show
I ain’t match toe to toe
I’ll get pwnd mo’ fo’ sho’
bros be fast I be slow
I done lost all my soul
I done lost my row row
ain’t fight powa no mo’
I’m ashamed to throw mo’
I’m ashamed to throw Moe
I give up I’ll go home
*morosely trudges away reeking of failure*
July 8th, 2014 at 6:51 am
*’moe’rosely trudges away* is what he meant to say, I’m sure
July 9th, 2014 at 1:25 am
I stand corrected. By which I mean slouch pathetically.

To Citizen Doramjan, I must inquire:
This Moe’cean City of which you speak? Would that be the New Jersey, Maryland, or some other vacant seaside trap to which tourists gather to singe beneath the fury and might of the merciless daystar?
July 20th, 2014 at 9:17 am
Moe’cean City in NJ or in MD! They’re both about the same distance for me. I recently partook of the vitamin D from the merciless sunstar at one of those Moe’cean Cities ^_^
July 23rd, 2014 at 7:34 am
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone
to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this
from. many thanks

Alas, Convertible car seat, the best way to reach our Admiral Firman is to write your questions neatly upon a piece of fine vellum, roll it up tightly into a wine bottle, seal tightly with a cork and wax and toss it into the nearest sea.
July 23rd, 2014 at 10:16 am
Or email. Email works for me
July 23rd, 2014 at 2:08 pm
Email and bottled vellum are equally effective in teaching the Admiral, but it’s hard to attach a return address to a bottle
