What Are Your Brushes With Fame?
The Old Hack replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I am disappointed. I had expected something with more gunslinger duels and cattle rustling. -
Fair warning to everyone: the opening shots in World War Tea have been fired.

That one we actually got during a trip to Boston. They have a lot of seafood plushies there. Scarlett O'Lobster went back with us home.

Then please tell her to go ahead. My wife will be pleased as well. She might return pictures of her Saki, mind you. Here is one of Saki on her new futon, which she graciously also allows her humans to use.

Belt and suspenders. I approve.

Just as I and my wife are endlessly amused by Copenhagen, New Jersey.

Patience, old friend. You may yet find a solution. If nothing else, I and my wife think well of you both for doing what you can for Loudmouth. And incidentally, my wife loves the pictures of Loudmouth and Baker.

Nothing. Once he got near the endangered puppies, mind, all his alarm bells would go off.

Sounds good to me. Good luck!

Oh dear. This reminds me of an old story. I was in the kitchen getting a bottle of Coke from the fridge. My old Burmese Catso (on sight nicknamed 'Fatso' by my wife, and instantly changed into 'Catso' by me, and stuck with that for the rest of his life) was doing the 'rub against Daddy's legs for attention' thing. But somehow when I opened the bottle it let out a loud hiss and poor Catso instantly fled, looking horrified. "Oh no! Daddy is mad at me! What did I do?" I had to find the poor thing and coax him out from under my bed to reassure him. He was a very sweet-tempered and gentle cat. Just not terribly bright.

But is the place still the pits?

It is very good to have you back. Keep us posted and I hope you feel better soon! -
This is why I would never use a battery-powered cordless mouse.

I love Susan so much. And if there is one thing Susan does NOT do, it is half-assing anything at all.

Today's strip reminds me of a Darwin Awards tale... Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup, and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, covered by several customers who also drew their guns, thereby removing the confused criminal from the gene pool. No one else was hurt. From this it may be inferred that if you have to rob a gun store, you had better be the Terminator.

My two old Burmese cats did this endlessly. They would lie down together curled up, then at some point they would start grooming one another. This would often turn into a wrestling match which invariably ended with them chasing one another all over my apartment in a mad gallop, then they would jump back up on my bed, wrestle for a few moments more and then go back to mutual grooming. I never could work out which of them won, or if there was even supposed to be a winner.

Get better soon, old friend. I really hope the operation did its job the way it was supposed to. -

Story Wednesday August 16th, 2017
The Old Hack replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Comic Discussion
I am not... quite certain this is how it works. At the very least that is oversimplifying it. Admittedly pain is a potent motivator, teacher and protector but it is possible to get too much of it. Mental traumas may result if it comes in the form of abuse, particularly systematic abuse. One of these is sociopathy which is noted specifically for its complete lack of empathy with others. That being said, there is something to it. For many people it becomes easier to empathise with a particular sort of pain once it has been placed in a perspective where they can understand it. Humans have different methods of doing so. To mention the three main ones there is experiencing the pain yourself, directly observing others experience that pain and through study learning the nature of that pain and how it acts on those who suffer from it. Of course, the very simplest way of shutting down that empathy is to convince a person that the ones experiencing the pain are not actually people. Once this has been accomplished, it is amazing with just how much stoicism people may endure pain and wrongs not done to themselves. -
I was about to start a game of Civilisation 4. I opened the start menu and for some reason read the first option as 'Single Payer' instead of 'Single Player.' Then I shut the game down again. It comes to something when you can't play a simple game of global conquest over the centuries without it getting politicised.

It was me making a dumbshit joke about the hapless previous poster writing 'angle demon hallucinations' when he was clearly referring to 'angel-demon' same thing. It made me think of what angles demons used in their work, or possibly angler demons.

The Beatles near the end of their run. Pink Floyd. Dire Straits. Electric Light Orchestra. The 80s may have had a lot of great music, but the 70s weren't hurtin'.

Eh, I may not have experienced a tornado but we did get a nasty hurricane in Copenhagen some years back. It did fun stuff like pick up 18-wheeler trucks and send them flying to land on the side on the other side of the road... of a six-lane highway. That satisfied my need for heavy weather for a while.

The one thing I have managed to do to steady myself at times like this is to remind myself that when something like this is coming up for me, the day after that it will be over for good or for ill. For some reason, it has helped me. I am not sure what would help you but I do know that paralysing fear. And I want you to know that you are not alone. We are with you in our thoughts. This too shall pass, old friend. Endure, and get better.
