Am I the only person who loves that he has a They Might Be Giants shirt?

That somebody was Aesop Rock.
Honestly, that was a halfway good saying you had there, but I still won't get near your f*****g site.

ReplyHOLY CRAP!! when i first skimmed this i thought the lesbiany one used to be a dude
Reply"I hope you're making fun of me."
ReplyThat part really made me laugh. Nice job.
I actually did giggle once or twice. Observational humor can only get you so far, and this comic seems to be moving away from that. That's a good sign; this might end up being one of the few good non-Seanbaby comics Cracked has posted.

There's always the method of flipping through the dictionary blindly and stopping and pointing at a word. Think this is silly? How do you think the Grateful Dead got their name.
ReplyThe problem with this is the Internet age. Nobody uses/buys dictionaries anymore.
My friends(who could play instruments) and I did this years ago. We came up with "Tempered Solstice". THis would have worked with the Seattle Grunge scene.
Figures. Some of the neo-hippies at my old college had an underground, and much maligned publication (heavy on drugs, profanity, sex, etc.) in that random name-finding style. The "Little Refurbished Tribulation". Not bad, really.
That's about meaningless and pretentious enough to work with the Seattle Grunge scene, I would concur
Death Metal Love Ballad
ReplyYou could also just make up a cool-sounding word, like GWAR.
ReplyGod What an Awful Racket.
Heh, Colby, that made me chuckle.

ReplyWhen I was 15 my band was called Brainrot and our unreleased 'EP' was called Backyard Nailgun Lobotomy. we were awesome.
Replythat does sound awesome. often i will listen to a band just because it has a cool name (for example: handstand skeleton)
DAMMIT! I'm 22 and starting a band. the original name was gonna be the screaming monkeys. or turd burglars.
ReplyJust go with anything. Literally. Anything at all. It won't matter. Your lack of creativity and musical skill will make the color of the ship meaningless. (and yes, I'm assuming the second accusation, but so what)
I don't know where all the hate is coming from. I actually laughed at this. It might be because I'm extremely sleep deprived though...
ReplyThese, aren't really funny.
ReplyNo friend, no they are not. I think the writer is mistaking an incredibly mundane conversation, the type where you are secretly wanting to commit suicide while having, with comedy.
