Litmus Test Services

I’ve often said that I should hire myself out to organizations, advertising agencies, or major corporations to vet their proposed media campaigns, domain name choices and so forth. The deal is simple: If at any point in your presentation I start to giggle like a teenaged schoolboy caught looking at naughty pictures, you should rethink your strategy. Here’s an example, and if you’re averse to a certain… ah… kind of language I recommend that you stop reading and go look at disapproving rabbits or something instead.

So! What crosses your mind when you see the following domain name?

cumcpdx.org

Don’t worry, it’s actually safe for work. I’m not linking to them because I’d rather not have someone checking their referer logs and coming (ahem) after me for what could be considered a bit of mockery.

And if you don’t understand why all the fuss… congratulations, you’re probably a nice, normal, well-adjusted person. What’s that like, by the way…?

To the moon, Alice!

And now for a 180-degree snap turn in tone and mood, I present you… rubber ducks being launched from a barrel.

As space programs go, it’s a bit in the early stages, admittedly.

Thoughts On Three Years Of Webcomics

Not that I’ve completed the full three years, but I’m feeling retrospective or introspective or like making a spectacle of myself or something, so my thoughts while nearing the conclusion of another year of Quacked Panes may be enjoyed forthwith.

Velan The Reticent

You may know him as “that guy responsible for Two Lumps,” but James L Grant is a multi-talented badass. Case in point? He’s about to self-publish the first in a planned series of riffs on the Conan mythos (The Barbarian, not The Ginger Talk Show Host) called “Velan The Reticent.”

And since he’s making it available as an ebook, I will purchase a copy for my Nook Color once he gets that bad boy out the door…

Two hundred of them?

GreyDuck — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 21:59:20 +0000

I can’t believe that I’ve posted two hundred of these things over the course of nearly two years. Even more mind-boggling is that a few dozen people read them every week.

So, I’ve accomplished that, at least.

Wow.

I didn’t know “Abrahamic” was a word.

But that doesn’t stop this comedy bit from being utterly hilarious and spot-on.
