So maybe i’m the only one who thinks this comic is funny, as my brother just looked at it blankly and said “I’ve seen better from Pearls.” Hmph. I thought that if anything, guys would like this comic most. Oh well, maybe Bloonians will like it since we’re crazy/weird/everythingyoucanthinkof! Yaaaaaaaaaay! (Note to readers: BloonChick probably should stop posting when extremely hyper..)
Pearls Before Swine. Gotta love em.

Hey, look! A review! Let’s poke it!
Title: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Genre (Movie): Erm…fantasy?
Description: Harry is in some crazy tournament where he is almost guaranteed to die. Guess what? He doesn’t.
Quickrating: 6.5/10
Ok, picture the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as a cicada. Yes, one of those green bugs that make that noise and are so annoying, they in themselves are proof that God either hates us or does not exist. Now picture the movie as one of those empty husks that the cicadas leave behind–something that gives you an exact impression of the bug, but gives you little or no joy to grind into your boot heel like it would to find the real thing.
This, my friends, is why I love metaphors. Especialy the awful ones. *giggle*
Those are the two words I can use to best describe the movie: “empty husk”. It gives you the basic story, to be sure, and the main ideas and such, but it completely skips over so many scenes that aren’t necessarily vital to the plot, but still make it seem all the more shallow for cutting them. It left me feeling disappointed. But it still got a 6.5, so open this baby up and find out why.
Woot Woot! To all ye old WoW geeks out there its the time to parrrrrtay! So get a account if you already dont and make a character in this godly game that we like to call… The World… Of Warcraft.
Now you may be thinking how can you celebrate this joyous event? Well here are a few ways:
- Watch the world famous movie, Leeroy Jenkins!
- Visit one of the funniest posts on the WoW forums… The Shadow Priest Topic!
- Watch Return - A Warcraft Saga
So kids… There you have it… 3 of the many awesome things that you can do on this glorious day. But before I go I would like to leave you with two quick quotes from the Shadow Priest Topic…
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Faces will be melted
and horde will be too
My face-melt brings all the PVPers to the battleground…
That’s right it’s better than y’alls…
I could teach you but you’d have to respec your talents.
So i’ve been posting a lot lately, which is funny because I have less time than ever right now. Oh well, computer addicts like me, always manage to find a way.
Here’s a couple of comics in honor of Turkey/Soy-Turkey/Ham/Whateverthehellyoueat Day!

Don’t tell me your age because the Hershey Man is going to guess your age–and be correct!
Work this out as you read …
Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!
1. First of! all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to
have chocolate
(more than 1 but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1755 ….
If you haven’t, add 1754.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
Isn’t that cool?? I got 214. Right on target =)
