i need to wax sentimental for two seconds: remember gary larson's 'The Far Side'? sure, we all do. that shit used to rule my life. of course, trying to tell people what was actually happening in your favorite sketch was a little like trying to recreate your favorite SNL episode: "...and then, in the background, there's all these other cavemen, and they're like, 'aaaiiiirrrrr speeeaaarrrr.'" usually it finished with you waiting for a reaction, the other person looking a little confused, everyone feeling a bit awkward, and then you saying, "um, uh, i guess you had to see it." [quick aside: this weekend, billy madison was on tv. now, its no secret that i haven't come far since, what?, 8th grade when that came out. billy madison still cracks me up. that scene in the academic decathalon when eric plays the shit outta the violin and then billy tries to play the oboe and only noise comes out and he looks at the judge, laughs, and thens says, "hehe, he's good." that's what i usually say when i try to recreate a funny scene from a movie or SNL skit and people don't find it funny...what?...ah, ah, shit. i guess you had to see it. hello tangent city. anywayssss.....]but somehow i wasted hours of my life at swim meets just looking through page after page after page of this. well, this and calvin & hobbes, that was a good one too. but far side, whoooweeeee. good stuff.
the HBCC salutes you, Mr. Gary Larson and your insanely funny funniness that we can only hope to asspirate to.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY. HBCC TOP 25 MOST HANDSOME LIST COMING SOON
