Gary Busey seems to have added an extra 'e' to his name. Either that or the unthinkable has happened and there is a small spelling mistake in today's strip.

Plus, how do you make leather in a factory?!?!?

What?

Really?

Oh my.

In Response to deerboy (#29322):

It's a "Corinthian Leather" joke, moron.

Remember, kids, don't write your passwords down where your multiple personalities can find them.

'Cause knowing is half the battle.

In Response to Robonun (#29490):

What's the other [wigu.com] half?

Being there.

Being there is half the battle. I could be at a pub night with, for example, RoboNun, Dynedain, and you... and I could say "remember that awesome Rafael Palmeiro joke I made at SPX?". Then you'd laugh, and I would say to RoboNun and Dynedain "I guess you had to be there".

"remember that awesome Rafael Palmeiro joke I made at SPX?"

That would be the "joke" that got you a series of blank stares as the crickets chirped in the background?

I didn't say what you'd be laughing at.

In Response to zamphir (#29501):

Nice save, Z.

In Response to Robonun (#29502):

Nice save, Z.

See, if you'd been there, you'd know that this was not actually a save.

Because nobody who was there, other than me and the guy who writes Partially Clips, thought the joke had any possibility of being funny.

So, I knew Gary would react the way he did, and had chosen my initial comments to induce that reaction, and planned my response to the reaction I planned he'd make. Sometimes I'm *not* just making it up as I go along.

He used slightly different words than I was expecting, but his interface card has been acting up recently anyway.

Or, as Tynic has observed, Zammy will make it up as he goes along and claim retroactively that whatever he pulled out of his ass was his plan all along.

Elegant in its Machiavellian simplicity, but it requires a certain effort to keep the tottering card tower that is his house of lies from becoming a tangled web of useless metaphors.

Or something.

This includes occasionally *not* making it up as I go along. As a placebo.

Masquerading as a metaphor.

Or something.

In Response to zamphir (#29505):

Let me guess, it had something to do with steriods and Viagara.

In Response to deerboy (#29525):

And Nasa's new Moon program.

In Response to Robonun (#29490):

I was just trying to let somebody know that the comment was not incoherant, that's all. I could do without the pity mods, a -1 Redundant would work just as well.

In Response to zamphir (#29526):

Old men all juiced up with rockets. Eww...
