Shower power

Conversation on a plane between two business women headed down to San Jose:

Woman 1: Did you get So-and-so a shower gift yet?

Woman 2: No, but I know she is registered at Babies-R-Us. I really hate it when my pregnant friends register at Babies-R-Us. I wish they’d register at Target. It’s just so much more convenient for me.

Video of the Week: FlexRex - A Day in the Life

In this mashup of OddTodd.com, our work-from-home hero makes it through a typical work day.

Since I did this spoof some seven years ago, I learned how to draw (kind of) and changed him into my own character for a bunch of sequels and even his own fictional blog. Then I started working from home and he turned into me. Or something.

Hostile Territory

A group of 15 Republicans in suits and their entourage of stuck-up Proto-MILFs come into the bar. They are all loaded and apparently just came from some alumni gathering. One of the dudes comes and sits down with us at our booth.

Woman: Are you all Republicans?

Suit: You know, that's the trouble with this town! Just because I wear a suit and drive an SUV, every motherfucker on a bicycle gives me the finger and assumes they know everything about me. They're like, you better start riding a bike, asshole!

Woman: So why did you decide to become a Republican?

Suit: I'm fucking fiscally conservative, OK?
