Death by Microwave
Sad, but true. LINK It really does seem like any news that makes it out of this area into the national scene is totally wacked out. Like the time people stole goats to skin them and trade their pelts for Crack or something? I’m not kidding. Fayette-Nam! Fayette County, Pennsylvania that is. I know there are some other “Fayette-Nams” out there.
Site related stuff– Yeah, Friday morning was a mini-headache with the “yirmumah.net” domain name. What happened was this.. a LONG time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I registered the name. Well, a couple years ago, the place I registered the name through went under and it turned out they were just an affiliate of a larger domain name place– then THAT place was an affiliate or reseller for ANOTHER place…. so, the damn thing was set to expire and they had the wrong e-mail address in to notify me. Needless to say, thanks to hundreds of e-mails and one phonecall from a friend friday morning, I got to the bottom of all this and renewed the name all safe like.
I’d just like to say, if anything should occur again like that in the future, don’t panic. Yirmumah.com, yirmumah.djcoffman.com and other places point here. Plus, you can generally check Cracked.com or Ucomics.com to see the new strips. I’m not going ANYWHERE any time soon, and plenty of people were worried I’d be losing the Grind— which I want to reassure you again, even if this site crashed and burned, I have backup contingency plans that will keep me WELL within the Grind. In fact, the only two ways I’d lose is, 1: If I drop over dead. 2: if the ENTIRE internet crashes and burns. Nuff said.
Ok– BOOK update, I’ll let everyone know here when the books get here and ship out this week. Never to late to order one , the other issues are always available as well. Plug plug plug!

Ah yes.. Now Portugese kids can look tough and dirty at the same time by wearing microwaves instead of undershirts.. Truly, this is progress.

It used to be that spouses killed each other with toasters in the bath. Now everyone takes showers, so microwaves will have to do.

I spent 3 summers working in BACKWOODS Fayette-Nam at a Summer Camp, and I got the chance to see some of the local residence, and I can see how something like this would happen.
There was a sign down the road from the camp on the edge of a junky looking property that read “Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be prosecuted” and staff members sure did stay away from there!

I’ve always like the signs that read “Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!”

Down the street from camp was a “Class A Biker Bar”. This was a place that some of the staff DID go, and always had great stories to tell when they returned. then one day Tiger Woods came to town to play a little golf. Overnight they swept the bikers out, dressed the place up, doubled their prices, and hung up a Golfers Welcome sign. One week later it was back to normal.
