I’ve shared thus before, but back in grade school I had two really close friends named Juan and Nick. Here is a picture of us at the circus that I love with me in the front, then Juan, and then Nick. The three of us were really close and bonded of our shared nerdy interests of reading, Star Wars, and The Simpsons. We also really enjoyed drawing.
I don’t remember how it started exactly, but we ended up making this notebook that we passed back and forth between us. It was a comic about a guy named Tom and his cat. We would each take turns doing a strip of a few panels and then hand it over. Here is a quick drawing I did of Tom on my phone so you can get an idea of what he looked like. The comic was about the everyday life of Tom and it was extremely mundane. It was things like Tom tries to decide on a shirt or Tom dropped the cat food on the floor. It was really dumb stuff, but the three of us found it incredibly hilarious because we were weird kids.
One day our teacher caught us with the notebook and confiscated it from us. She never said a word about it, but I bet when she looked through that thing she probably thought it was the weirdest fucking thing ever, especially since we were laughing hysterically at it when she took it from us. We never got that notebook back because apparently she lost it.
~23 years later and I’m still mad about that because I would love to be able to look at the dumb comics we made and because of her that are gone forever.
That the $1 pizza places have caused my favorite pizza place to use lower quality ingredients to stay competitive, and thus making their pizza taste worse.
Friend left me outside because his girl asked him to i wad supposed to stay at his house and had no where to go. And it was freezing cold . I’ve known him for 25 years. Fuck him
The price of soft drinks in pubs. In the UK we haven’t been out much this year and we love our pubs. I love a beer but I also like driving to the pub and knowing I can drive home whenever I want.
Some places charge like £3 for a Pepsi. Not even the good Pepsi, but that syrup shite diluted with fizzy water. For an extra £1 I could get a pint of lager which would work out cheaper when you calculate cost per ml… which I do because I’m so fun.
But seriously, it discourages people from avoiding any alcoholic drinks when they’re in the car. Sure, you can have one. Some people can be under the limit with two but it’s borderline. Don’t fucking tempt us by ripping us off for being sensible. That syrup shite cost about £0.06 a glass and you want to charge me £3 for it? Get fucked, give me a pint, I’ll pick the car up tomorrow.
That motherfuckers forgot about Dre.
