We made the New York Times!
« on: January 07, 2016, 11:06:04 PM »
I felt these, I sent in a e-report to the USGS  just after feeling the first two. Kind of pussy earth quakes compared to ones you hear about in California.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

So, what's the lines in front of your backwards person on the cycle zooming towards the left side of the screen... uh, shouldn't those lines trail the rider rather than precede the rider. Tires a leaning towards left signifying it is moving in that direction...
So, Stev-0...I think you failed the cartooning class...

I reccomend getting to Macy's before they go out of business, or Kohl's. The Casinos are also a good place to leave a deposit.
