I noticed the little snot is MISSING A FANG. His right upper canine is broken off just outside the gum line. I have no idea how he managed to do this.

My bet is in some kind of faceplant. Cats don't normally bite stuff hard enough to snap off a tooth (unless that tooth is already somehow weakened), so I'm guessing he jumped down onto something hard that was farther away than he expected or he ran full steam into something hard when he was booking across a street/got startled/whatever.

So this just happened:
*doorbell*
Hi, we're have a ladies' night - slash - sleepover, and we can't get the bottles of cava [champagne for you wine-illiterates] open. Would you come help us please? *eyelashes batting*

I don't think I've ever seen a porn start that way, but if I had, I'd have said it was completely ridiculous. I mean, I just opened some bottles, honestly, but still. That was weird. The lady who came by to ask me was someone I know from college and I used to have a crush on, so that just added to my befuddlement and general "what the heck?" feeling.

See, if it wasn't someone I knew, I'd immediately suspect it's a trap. Like, a honeypot trap, or there's a guy nearby waiting to mug me. I would've told them I'd injured my hand and would not be able to help them open any bottles, and then shut the door.

... I wonder what this says about my psyche.

Well, all that crap about vector art for my comic and how it would take too much time? Yeah...I just figured out how to do it in way, WAY less time. The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to duplicate my layers. That way I can just shade and color within the linework itself. Sketch Club can't do that and Artstudio can. I just realized I can export my linework and import it twice to basically duplicate layers. So simple I could kick myself.

This means I might be committing to vector, and Supervillainous might go HD.

And then what happened?

Did you just miss an opportunity, or did you just avoid temptation (ie: you are in a relationship or married already) ? This is near-Monty Python-levels of temptation you were describing there.

Huh. I'm not upset anymore that you didn't/don't know I'm Canadian.

Oh and hey! I've had that happen when I was living in Montreal. Well, there was no ladies night, it was just her, and rather than asking me to open a bottle she wanted to borrow a can opener.

Also during my time in Montreal, I got picked up by a woman walking by the restaurant patio where I was eating breakfast and reading a newspaper.

. . .

Huh. I really don't understand why I ever left that city.

(I mean, I think there were even two different times that guys were trying to pick me up)

I just interviewed a cute girl for a position at our company. She's actually going for a sales role, which has nothing to do with what I do around here, but I was asked to evaluate her English ability because our sales staff often need to talk/write to foreign clients. So, basically, chat with the applicant for 20 minutes, especially about stuff they couldn't have a pre-memorized speech for, and decide if they'll be able to handle the English demands of the job.

Her English actually wasn't that great, so I don't think she'll get the sales job, but she was extraordinarily enthusiastic. She's just out of university, and this would be her first job, and she said she's not currently applying to any other companies, just us. We're the premier translation house in Taiwan, so she wants to work for us. Sales was the only position we were advertising on the job hunt site.

I thought our company could do with enthusiastic and motivated new blood. So, near the end of the interview, I said, out loud, "Well, your English ability might not quite be where we'd want for a sales role... but who knows, maybe I could help find a position for you around here that we might like you in!"

(My brain said, "Aw crap, that sounded pervy... quick, fix it!")

"Uh, I mean, maybe we could find something else for you to do around here."

("I don't think that's much better... okay, last chance, say something to fix it!")

"Well, uh, I mean, I think it'd be great if I could see you around here some more..."

("That's it, I give up, there's no hope for you. Just end the interview now.")

I don't think she's going to work here.[DOUBLEPOST=1489735712,1489735603][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, also, everything I said was accompanied by my trademark grin, which I think is friendly but have been told is actually lecherous.

From 'Well known user' to 'Contributor'? Do I get a pay raise to go with the new title?

I monkeyed with the automatic titles a few months ago. Wierd thing is, you've way outranked the "contributor" rank, you should be "One of Us" at this point. Very odd.[DOUBLEPOST=1489766111,1489766069][/DOUBLEPOST]There, fixed it.

Was going to make corned beef and cabbage tonight for dinner. I won't get home until 4 or so. And since I didn't know how to cook it, I hit up Google. Turns out I need a lot of time to do it, so no corned beef tonight. Gonna have it tomorrow instead. D'oh!

My son's high school has a poll to vote on what the theme for spirit week should be. I don't even understand who came up with these options, but it's sad. OK, the Disney one isn't TERRIBLE, but the second one...

Uhmmm, that just tried to download some stuff to my HD, it was blocked.

It's a Shockwave Flash object (.SWF). Some browsers try to download the file rather than playing it, especially if you don't have Flash installed (or blocked). If it doesn't auto-play, you can download the file and then drag it into an empty browser window to play it (assuming you have Flash installed OR are using Chrome).

What the hell. I'm going to start doing Supervillainous in vector. It just looks so much more clear than the Artstudio stuff I've been doing all along.

It is also worth noting that BOTH firefox and chrome try to block flash by default now, and you might have to re enable it.

A good day will be when comic books stop making the "People still MAKE comic books?" joke. THIS GAG HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THE EIGHTIES-they clearly still do.

Took the family for brunch and had absolutely delicious bloody marys. Then my wife, a waiter, I all had a conversation about how ridiculously crazy the garnishing trend is these days for that drink.

This just popped up on my reddit feed, as if to drive home the point.



Sub, pizza, chicken wings--all crazy ridiculous . But look closely between the sub and bag of fries. There's another bloody mary nestled in there. WTF.

It's a Bloody Mary that works really hard to impair blood flow.

A Bloody Impairy?
