Somebody already bit this monster’s finger off in an attempt to escape that perky, insane voice. Live from the Belle Isle Asylum…

I’d be hard-pressed to show anyone exactly what I’ve done in the last week, since it’s been almost all mental work, but by Yog-Sothoth, it’s been hard. It’s strange to feel worn out from thinking, but I’ve been doing the real squinty-eyed kind of thinking, which should have cartoon effort lines radiating from my head and hanging in the air so everyone knows that’s what I’m doing and it’s really hard grinding.

The results have been good (it’s all been book-thinking) but I feel like I’ve dug ditches for days. Haven’t been looking out at the world very much.

But I’m here now. I’m back. They don’t get any more “back” than I am this very minute. I am totally back and here.

In fact, I’m right behind you. That’s why I’m so happy.

This is quite creepy enough to be a profile picture, but it has a caption, which I tend to avoid. Therefore, it will make a solo appearance here.

Only fair…

The key thing to realize here is that these are riddles, and may depend to an extent on word-play we don’t recognize, so they’re not your normal “jokes”. But still pretty interesting.

The world’s oldest “Yo mama” joke is 3,500 years old

In case you haven’t seen it, this is my Picture of the Week. If it wasn’t horizontal, it would have been a profile pic.

I have to agree withe the critique, except I love them for all the same reasons. Thank you, Grey Group advertising executives, for making ordinary television viewing a very slippery slope for sanity — as it should be.
