Worserest



Here is a bit of optimism for your Friday! I also think if John Ashcroft needs a new job in a couple of weeks he could be like the new Alan Funt on an all new "Candid Camera" show.

Agents all storm into someone's house screaming "YOU CHECKED OUT MEIN KAMPF FROM THE LIBRARY, YOU'RE GOING TO CAMP X-RAY!" Kids are screaming, feathers are flying everywhere, then suddenly Ashcroft jumps out from inside the laundry hamper and starts singing "Let The Eagle Soar." It's TV GOLD.

Shorts



It is kind of creepy when words are spelled backwards, like when you play a rock and roll record backwards and it has secret messages from Satan. Are these hidden clues about life?

I did not go to the concert last night because we had to watch the historic baseball game. But I am going to see The Decemberists Friday. This makes me very excited.

Did I use a bad word? I don't know anymore.

This is the 3rd time I have posted this dang thing, maybe it will take this time.

Car Tricks



I actually don't do that many tricks in my car anymore. I have a hella fast Acura Integra and for a while I had to replace the back brakes about every 6 months because I would use the e-brake for fast 90° turns and 180° turns when they became necessary (which was more often than not).

Overcompensating is being well received so far! We do have the blessing of Mr. Scott McCloud, so that's a pretty good thing if you ask me!

I am gonna go see my man Travis Morrison rock out tonight.

Cowboy Killer



Some people think it is a good idea to keep a spare cowboy lying around in case of cowboy-type emergencies. You know, if a bull gets loose or you need a country line-dancing partner or whatever.

I was recently smoking a cigarette and someone told me it was bad for me! I did some research on the website Google.com and found out that they were right. What a fool I've been. I'm going to quit smoking now if it kills me. Seriously.

Welcome to Overcompensating!

Down In The West Texas Town Of El Paso



I've still never been outside the United States despite my best attempts against whitey's oppression. Well, once we almost accidentally went to Mexico when we got lost around San Diego, but the rental car girls told us specifically not to take the car into Mexico.

For the record, the girl in these comics is nobody in particular; I live by myself and it would be too dumb to show me talking to a lamp or a stray cat... or would it be just dumb enough?

Also I did some math and five gallons of ticks = 1.5 billion ticks.

Tanukis Are Promiscuous



A while back I read the Tom Robbins book Villa Incognito. The book begins with this magical, amorous Tanuki that parachutes from the other world into ours using his unusually large scrotum as a parachute. It gets better from there.

I am not very good at reviewing books. HI MY NAME IS JEFF AND I READED A BOOK WITH GOOD WORDS I LOVE YOU BYE.
