 Future Noir:
Turning down the block and ducking into a futuristic newsstand revealed the most humorous touches of layering, for it was here that this author immediately noticed that a number of faux twenty-first-century magazines had been stuffed into racks mounted on the newsstand's walls, and that many of them sported decidedly tongue-in-cheek covers.These publications had been designed by BR art department member Tom Southwell. Periodicals of note include Krotch (going for $29 a copy!), Zord (at $30), Moni, Bash, Creative Evolution, and Droid. Horn, the "skin mag" of the future, had a cover which offered articles such as "The Cosmic Orgasm" and "Hot Lust in Space." Kill (whose logo was "All the News That's Fit to Kill") sported cover stories like "Multiple Murders - Reader's Own Photos." Mirrored from jwz.org. |

Reason for stopping: end of chapter.
I'm two chapters in, and these people are five courses through a twelve course lunch? Seriously? Oh well, we've also had a lot of backstory. It'll work out.
Anybody know anything about ballet that they didn't get from Noel Streatfeild and Rumer Godden? Any recommendations for ballet blogs? |

June 18 is the 200th anniversary of beginning of the War of 1812. Not really sure what the official memorials will be up here: are there little papier-mâché White Houses one can purchase to burn?

| Contest at the Comics Curmudgeon! |
[May. 26th, 2012|12:48 pm] |
Seen at the Comics Curmudgeon
I love Rex and June’s facial expressions SO MUCH that that I’ve decided to revive an ancient (yes, five years ago is “ancient,” on the Internet) Comics Curmudgeon tradition: a comics panel lookalike contest! You might recall the finger-quotin’ Margo and self-clubbing Tyler lookalike contests; now it’s time for a Hilariously Overwrought Rex and June Facial Expression Lookalike contest! Here, here’s a close-up of the panel:
Take a photo of you and a friend imitating Rex and June here (no need to include Iris and Mabel, but feel free if you think its important for your take on the tableau) and send éem to me at bio@jfruh.com. The top entry will be arbitrarily chosen by me and whatever friends or family members I rope into helping me pick, and wins … eternal glory? Sure, let’s say that. Eternal glory PLUS your choice of one item from the Comics Curmudgeon merch store, which yes, still exists, even though I haven’t updated it in a long time. Go forth and look like that panel, everybody! Points for style, execution, amusing variations, etc.! I am not legally responsible if you sprain your face trying to match Rex and June’s expressions.

| So, I fed a friend's cat tonight |
[May. 26th, 2012|12:18 am] |
It is a fairly timid cat and I didn't get a good look at it when I dropped by to pick up the keys. My expectation is I would not see it at all.
What actually happened is I unlocked the door and the cat came charging into the room, meowing its head off. Then it saw who I was and a long, uncomfortable pause ensued. In the end it decided to keep meowing at me.
I could not help but notice it stopped being interested in socializing with me the second the wet food hit the bowl....

Yeah, the inhospitably radioactive surface of the Earth is pretty much never actually inhospitably radioactive.
Also, announcer Fred Collins sounds a lot like Phil Hartman when he delivers the line These are stories of the future; adventures in which you'll live in a million could-be years on a thousand may-be worlds. I am aware of the order of events and I do know it would be more correct to say Hartman sometimes sounded like Collins.
