Welcome Back From Anarchy 2003

Some of you may have noticed that our servers were down for a bit there on Thursday and Friday. We got caught in a smallish blackout, you may have heard. Phillip had the best of it, on vacation planting rare samples of the Royal Truffle Marigold in its native Brazilian soil, in association with the International Marigold Society, of which Phillip is a senior member. I was holed up in my apartment with a box of Teddy Grahams, a shotgun, and a marker-on-posterboard sign that said in bold letters "Git Yer Own Teddy Grahams, Mister."

Despite Phillip's absence, the servers seemed to have miraculously rebooted of their own self-accord, which means that they have, after all this time, achieved sentience. Hurrah, Goats Server! We salute your achievement. Pub nights are on Thursdays.

Anyway, we're back, so go ahead and buy one of our new commemorative text t-shirts. They're commemorative because I said they are. The strip will return on Monday; unfortunately Maslow and his damned hierarchy got in the way of my nightly drawing session. Apologies to those of you who were inconvenienced during our unfortunate incident.

OK so I had Scarygoround, Penny Arcade, Dilbert (I know, I work for the great evil so it makes my life a little funnier), Orneryboy, and others... but I missed goats.

Was Amy with you or was she out on her own trying to loot stores for stuff?

And the irony is that in Amish country here we were bathed in artificial lights to our hearts' content.

On a somewhat-related-but-not-really-at-all topic: Why is okay for the amish to have ground effects on their buggies? Seriously, everyone knows that it's Satan making the bottom glow green.

This I gotta see... I knew about the reflective triangles the state makes them put on the back of their buggies, but...

Do you think you could swing a picture of that? Post the link in this forum? I don't think I can make it out to PA anytime soon (from southern California).

I too want to see a tricked out Amish buggy, with fat low-rider rims, flames painted on it, diamond plate and chrome on the horses, etc. (See the street talk you can learn from watching Monster Garage [discovery.com].)
