This completely reasonable and not-at-all hysterical cartoon apparently ran on a site called bastardsbible.com, which alas has gone the way of the dodo. I’m not sure if that was the original source. (I don’t think so; the hanged man’s hairstyle looks pretty 197os or 80s to me.) I’m also not sure why the members of “Today’s Lace Curtain Dominated Media” are wearing boxes on their heads. Or carrying what appears to be foliage. Or why the whole thing seems to be taking place on The Little Prince’s tiny planet.
I’ll do instant in a pinch. Generally, when I get called in unexpectedly to work or have to stay late at work. I carry it on me for emergencies. Its okay.
But Folger’s is the choice if subservient housewives everywhere!
“But taster’s choice? … No thanks. Not gonna.”
That’s the shit my mother’s tried serving me and wondered why I took one sip and went “this is your shitty instant, no thanks”. Starbucks Via is tolerable if you need instant coffee NOW. (Gods did I drink a lot of that while at the law firm)
Pecunium — seriously dude, you make me glad my perpetual ability to injure myself is rarely serious (jammed my finger in a door yesterday, just when my toe is starting to heal, but hey, at least neither broke…or, you know, tried to peal the skin off my body). What I’m trying to say here is that you really have the worst luck sometimes huh?
Also, I decide I’m being a grump by not playing my violin cuz depressed, and then jam my left pinky in a door…looks like I won’t be swearing at Bach for another week >.<
I drink instant – it’s what we have at work, and I’ll use it to make cold (ie all milk) coffee at home. All that work to make a cup of coffee is not my thing! 😀
Looking at the cartoon up there … is it just me, or is Mr Male Opinions wearing saddle shoes? I know they’re still around, but I look at it and think “What decade are the MRM living in again?”
Mr Male Opinions looks like Reagan to me, which is disconcerting. I keep thinking it’s a serious political cartoon and then remembering that no, it’s just these clowns again.

Yeah, I was running around all “wheeeee this is so much fun!” while the grown ups were sitting there going “she has to run out of gas eventually, right?”.
@Kitteh’s: I once thought saddle shoes would be cool, so I got a pair.
I have never had a more uncomfortable pair of shoes in my life. I’ve still got them, somewhere, but I haven’t worn them much. Maybe they’d feel better if I broke ’em in more.
Mr. Male Opinions really does look like Ahmedinijad to me.
His nose looks too wide, and the distance between nose and mouth too long, to really look like Reagan.
Well personally, I think-
*is lynched by Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer*
Falconer – owww. Breaking in uncomfortable shoes is the pits. Worst I ever had was a pair of Doc Marten’s. The stiffening at the back felt like a razor blade – it made my heels bleed. They were great looking boots but went to the op shop in record time; they were just too painful to try breaking in, even with layers of bandaids on.
I got lucky recently (I have flat, pronated feet and wear orthotics, so getting comfortable shoes is tricky) with a pair of Ziera laceup boots. They’ve broken in really quickly and are very comfortable and supportive.
@kittehs
Owowowoowowowowowowow. Those shoes sound evil!
