Reach out and touch someone

I really need to speed up the timeline. I left for that interview months ago.

So I’ve discovered the downside to character development. Months ago; back before I started actually putting the comic up, and had barely started taking photos. The scenes from these past few weeks were written out in more of a “who’s on first” type … Read More

Nevermind showing him how to return a call...

We are omnipotent.

One Ringy-Dingy

We are omnipotent.

Still one of my favorite comedy acts. Ms. Lily Tomlin   Paddy: A gracious good afternoon to you, this is Mr Pogue of the telephone company Narrator: What? Paddy: I said, you’re a complete and utter arse if you think this’ll … Read More

Once again, the phone has stopped ringing. I wonder what it's like to not be a slave to the phone ringing.

Like fingernails on a chalkboard

Once again, the phone has stopped ringing. I wonder what it's like to not be a slave to the phone ringing.

When I ran his finger across the screen to make sure it really wouldn’t work it was like fingernails on a chalkboard. The benefit to partial hearing loss is that sounds like that don’t really bother me anymore. Then again … Read More

The more astute of you have probably noticed that the ring font is the font that goes with the phone. Perhaps Astute isn't really the word I want here...

The best part of waking up

The more astute of you have probably noticed that the ring font is the font that goes with the phone. Perhaps Astute isn't really the word I want here...

The best part of waking up is NOT Folgers in any way shape or form. This here is a coffee snob house and we’re damned proud of it. If only I could still drink coffee.   Narrator: Cleaning? Paddy: I … Read More

He may be overdressed for the dollar store though.

Poor Paddy works at the Wal*Mart…

He may be overdressed for the dollar store though.

Title reference for those not familiar with the folk song: Poor Paddy on the Railway One thing’s for certain, Paddy certainly has better teeth than Shane MacGowan had. Nowadays they may be made of the same material.   Paddy: Well Now … Read More

I see the wife's Underpants? That is just wrong! One simply does not wear underwear under there!

I see London, I see France…

I see the wife's Underpants? That is just wrong! One simply does not wear underwear under there!

The lesson this week is that the songs we sang as children on the playground seem highly inappropriate nowadays. I’m not referring to I see London, I see France, I see someone’s underpants. but multiple songs about Chinese grocers, and … Read More

Maybe someone else answered it already because I ain't hearin' no ringin'

“My favorite day,” said Pooh.

Maybe someone else answered it already because I ain't hearin' no ringin'

“What day is it?” “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh. -A.A. Milne Nope. No Saint Patrick’s Day gag. Paddy’s still a bit hurt over the the O’mara incident in ’03.   Paddy: I’m thinking something more traditional. … Read More

I'm guessing Paddy also like tickling the ivories, or anything else for that matter.

I wish my brother George were here

I'm guessing Paddy also like tickling the ivories, or anything else for that matter.

One of my siblings would do this if there was a call for her. She would be in pajamas, and not talk on the phone because she wasn’t dressed. I’m betting her husband knows which sibling it is.   Paddy: … Read More

“Mr. Watson–come here–I want to see you.”

to which Watson replied "Go fuck yerself, I'm just in the next room!" At least that's how I remember it.

Now I just have to work out how he’s going to answer the damned touch screen. Let alone hold the phone in the first place. Not to confuse people with Sherlock, “Mr. Watson–come here–I want to see you.” is from Alexader … Read More
