I'm trying to devise a way to answer tags without hearing a groan so massive that the ground will be scattered with fossils that unearthed themselves. First, a site recommendation: Spamusement, now possibly defunct, but still crammed with hundreds of cartoons based on the subject lines of Spam. I remembered it because I still get the occasional spam from the girl who's disappointed I've never replied regarding her naked pictures or how to prolong my sexual performance. As if I needed to! (That can be interpreted in many ways.)
Here's one I made up from the subject line "How many women have you disappointed lately?" I realize it's a little trite, and partly weird because pretty much everyone, male or female, would not pass up the opportunity for free shoes. But, mmmm..... Pik-nik. (Kidding. I find Pik-nik a little too greasy.)
Calvin doesn't realize that those who look interested are more likely to be grilled about the subject. Oh well, at least in college.
Speaking of college (SMOOTH SEGUE, MARK), Dr. Claire of Chronicles from the Middle of Nowhere tagged me for this meme about my life in the University of the Philippines. The supposed center for subversion. A good four years of undergraduate study, probably the best I've spent so far.
