  By the way, for those of you out there who have been emailing me concerning putting a joke about rape in the comic, let me reassure you that this is not the case. At worst, the scene is a little… forward. I chose not to depict it because of the amount of text, but [...]

Promotional considerations courtesy of Larry’s Giant Subs. All guests of this comic stay at the luxurious Hyatt Towers, around the back, in the janitorial break room with the cot in it. There’s even a radio.

Bonobos (think tall chimpanzees — though they are apparently vastly different for some esoteric reason I fail to remember at the moment) enjoy recreational sex. They like male-female, male-male, female-female, orgies, oral, anal, and masturbatory sex, and are incredibly creative with it. I think of this whenever I’m told that non-traditional sex isn’t “natural,” and [...]

  So… I’ve made a decision concerning what I want to accomplish in this blog space. Previously I have spent a lot of space talking about religion. There are two big reasons for this, the first being that it is a subject I both enjoy and am keenly interested in, and the second being that [...]

  I love rock and roll. Put another dime in the juke box, Baby. What? you need a quarter? I only have a dime. Does anyone here have a quarter? Anyone?

  Okay, Friday’s strip is done. Now it’s time to go paint Lena’s new project room. She doesn’t know I’m going in there, so this’ll be a surprise. Tee-hee! For more of the real Shamus, visit http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/ !

Bush says that “history” will judge the success of his presidency. I’m guessing it’ll be the “future.”

  Just got done watching the big Presidential Inauguration. The swearing in was a bit of a muddle, but the rest of it seemed to go well. (Though I think that Elizabeth Alexander must have gone to the William Shatner School of Poetry Recital.)

I went to Gainesville (Florida) yesterday with Lena and another couple to visit the Devil’s Millhopper and to see a play. I really enjoyed the play… but since I couldn’t bring my camera in I thought I’d talk about the Millhopper instead. The Devil’s Millhopper is a gigantic sinkhole way out in the woods on [...]

  Okay, so here’s the deal. I went to this new format to allow myself the time to handle my other obligations, and as soon as things got comfortable and settled, I immediately filled in the time I had made for myself with other things. I am apparently not happy being happy. Lena however, is [...]

    Everyone’s favorite Pope around town, Benedict XVI has declared jihad on a threat to the unity of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. This threat comes from… Satan… I guess?… and carries with it the potential for leading god’s flock straight into the bowels of hell, to be digested slowly along with pre-chewed bits of Devil’s food [...]

    Okay, this French Banker walks into a bar, his name is Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, but we’re gonna call him The Banker cuz that’s way easier to say. In the bar he meets a guy called Bernie Madoff, who we’re gonna call The Other Guy. So the Other Guy says to the Banker, [...]

  In Nanjing China, a (now widely reported) shopping and restaurant mall has opened up featuring a wide variety of western goods and foods… sorta. Apparently China has always had a proclivity for hiding their disdain for international copyrights behind the Bamboo Curtain, but now that the curtain has been drawn back we can see [...]

  As he leaves the White House, President W. says he is looking to lead a quieter life. I can well imagine. But he will have his projects — things to keep an ex-president busy in his puttering-around time. He will be working on a book of his memoirs and the George W. Bush Presidential [...]

  I took a class in comparative religions once. The teacher was a buddhist, though he claimed not to want anyone to know it. He also claimed to be open-minded. I’m not sure if either claim was genuine, though his closed-mindedness made him a lot of fun in class. (Possibly the subject for a later blog.) One [...]

398 — A Week With Enkidu

by Kevin Pettway on January 9, 2009

  I had my first experience playing 4e Dungeons and Dragons last night. (Up until now I had only run it.) It was a real blast. From a player’s perspective the combat was fast and smooth, the mechanics were very easy to track and use, and the only misstep we had was when Lena thought [...]

by Kevin Pettway on January 8, 2009

  (Okay, I’m not supposed to be posting this today because of the server migration, and I hope I don’t get smacked down for it, but I figured you guys at least deserved the attempt.)     Meet Antonio Vazquez de Alba, the self-proclaimed “Grand Warlock” of Mexico and leader of the National Association of [...]

396 — A Week With Enkidu

by Kevin Pettway on January 7, 2009

  (By the way… we are undergoing server migrations over the next few days. The downside is that I’ve been asked not to post anything new until it is done, but the upside is that when it is all over with we’ll be on shiny new servers that run faster, better, and stronger than before! [...]

395 — A Week With Enkidu

by Kevin Pettway on January 6, 2009

  I’m going to borrow a leaf from Shamus over at Twenty-Sided and complain a bit about something that has been bugging me for a LOOOOOOOONG time. That would be videogame difficulty settings… or really the lack thereof. I bought the original Playstation back however many years ago the damn thing came out, and Lena [...]

394 — A Week With Enkidu

by Kevin Pettway on January 5, 2009

  I seem to have the insomnia tonight. Usually it only strikes when I’m nervous or bummed about something, which doesn’t seem to be the case now. In point of fact, I was extra-tired when I went to bed earlier from working all day on the house. I think I slept about an hour, then… [...]
