Who can say if his success is wholly, or only partially, attributable to his watch? But one thing was made clear. The people of New York have overwhelmingly voiced their support for a watch and to a lesser extent a city that everyone can afford.

Historic win yesterday evening from mayoral candidate and Casio spokesperson Zohran Mamdani.

Come to think of it, I don't think i've ever seen "Taco" John and "John" Mountain Goats in the same place... Highly suspicious. If you think about it.

Wrong note? There are no wrong notes, it's a piano!

If I can, I think I'll let these Miis stay here on this Wii and just copy my own Miis and game saves over. These orphaned Miis can join my family-- or are they adopting us? Sure, maybe these people didn't cherish their Wii as much as I did, but I think they deserve to be preserved.

This Wii has been dormant for years. Some of the people with Miis on here could be dead now, but they are still alive inside this Wii. I know there are a few ghosts on my Wii. I need to transfer the data over. I'm not sure what to do. I would feel bad wiping the memory I think.

When I look at the Miis on here, I have to wonder-- where are they now? Do they know their Wii was sold on eBay for $25? Do they have fond memories of the Wii? Do they ever miss it? There's a whole family on here and I can see every time each of them played Wii Sports or Wii Fit.

The disc drive in my childhood Wii died, so I replaced it. The Wii, I mean. Wiis are so abundant they aren't really worth fixing right now. Anyway, I bought the cheapest, dirtiest Wii on eBay. No cords, no controllers, missing all the plastic flaps. But it was somebody's family Wii.

Ever wonder why most people need glasses? Well, it's because we evolved to be naturally nearsighted for our own mental health. You don't need to worry about whatever's going on there.

Now, why does that kat look so familiar... Looks a bit krazy to me.

I was hoping it would reel the tape back in with a consistent speed via clockwork (to let them mark how long it takes for it to slurp the tape back up).

The pendulum idea is more educational though, and they can just rebrand a normal tape measure. Clever how they repurpose existing products!

LEAVE A COMME-

Stan Pines? Yeah, I can't get enough of 'em!

Very few pieces of music have ever come close to doing as much mental damage to me as "Have Another Espresso" by Shel Silverstein. Once you hear it, you will forevermore be possessed to have yourself another es presso

Stan Getz? You bet I do!

What's a phone?

This thing is too large. If only there were one or two other dimensions that could be reduced. No, no, one dimension only! That vile and hated dimension! We love the other two! Long live dimensions one and two! Down with dimension three!

This landline phone is shaped like a frog. We need more frog phones.

Great set of Nancy dailies from 1944. Love the joke about nylons that really dates it to the war years

Plus:
- Sluggo's baldy bean: under attack
- Nancy "photo bombing" a Kodak brownie picture
- Surreal rocking horse imagery
- Dog joke
- "City pests"

Yes folks, these are all winners.

Sluggo Saturday (“Nancy” strips from July 24-29, 1944):

"Why is everyone so aggressive and antisocial these days??"
Uh, I dunno, maybe because they aren't regularly soothed and stimulated by the dulcet tones of Corcovado whenever they venture out into public.

If you get caught listening to Bossa Nova today, you'll inevitably be hit with "is that elevator music???"
No, but I wish it was.
In 2025 you'll elevate in silence, or if you're lucky you'll get "All the Hits of the 80s, the 90s, and Today"

Of the many baffling views espoused by older generations, a relatively inconsequential one I just don't get is their apparent disdain for Bossa Nova-- possibly the highest form of human expression-- and its use in public places (e.g. elevators, lobbies, stores). Bring it back!

The dearth of beautiful isometric icons depicting grey or beige office equipment in today's society is likely the foremost cause of the many ills which plague us.
