Follow along as Jim, Ben, and friends take on their GM in a Star Wars campaign in a world where Star Wars never existed. If you’ve ever been a GM you’ll be laughing during almost every strip. The strip follows the movie visually, but diverges heavily on the plot and characters. This is definitely entering my weekly rotation of web comics!

Classic Andy Capp

February 9th, 2009

The British Cartoon Archive, courtesy of the University of Kent, has a collection of old Andy Capp cartoons going back to August, 1957 and running through December, 1962. It’s interesting to watch the evolution of Andy and Flo’s appearance over those 5 years and then to look at them in the current version.

Here’s Flo & Andy in 1957 (single panel strip):
andy_flo_1957

And here they are in 1962 (4 panel strip):
andy_flo_1962

And lastly, here they are in 2009 (3 panel strip):
andy_flo_2009

You can find more information about Andy over at his Wikipedia page.

Losing My Geek Cred

December 1st, 2008

My son got me the other day. I sit down at my computer and wiggle the mouse, screen stays black. Press a key on the keyboard – nothing. Press every button on the front of the montitor – no dice. Hit the reset button on the PC – nada. Make sure all the cables are plugged in – check. “Well crap,” I think, “my nice 19-inch monitor died, now my cheap backup has died. Time to bite the bullet and buy a new flat screen.”
I find one that I want and am one click away from the actual purchase when my son walks in and says “Oh, are you buying a new monitor?” and then reaches over and presses the power button on the “broken” monitor. I heard my geek cred flushing down the toilet as it came on. And, of course, my wife was a witness to this event.
In my defense, the power button on the monitor was very well camouflaged.

Whining Children

November 24th, 2008

My son whines entirely too much.

“Daddy, turn the ligh back on; Daddy, turn the hot water back on, please; Daddy, please quit sitting on me; Daddy, please quit beating me with the rubber hose; Daddy, can I come out of the oven yet?”

I mean all the kid does is whine.

Peter Fox – Alles Neu Lyrics Translation

September 12th, 2008

* Update: This was a really crappy BabelFish translation. A better translation can be found here: http://greeneggpage.com/?p=510

Earlier I posted the video to Alles Neu by Peter Fox, and I mentioned that I had found the German lyrics. Well, a trip through BabelFish resulted in this: (if anyone can do a better translation, please, please let me know)

German

BabelFish Translation

Ich verbrenn
mein Studio, schnupfe die Asche wie Koks.
Ich erschlag meinen
Goldfisch, vergrab ihn im Hof.
Ich jag meine Bude hoch, alles
was ich hab lass ich los.
Mein altes Leben, schmeckt wie ‘n
labriger Toast.
Brat mir ein Pracht-Steak, Peter kocht jetzt
feinstes Fleisch.
Ich bin das Update, Peter Fox 1.1.

Ich will abshaken, feiern, doch mein
Teich ist zu klein.
Mir wächst neue reihe Besser wie bei
dem weissen Hai.
Gewachst , gedopet , poliert, Nagelneue
Zähne.
Ich bin euphorisiert, und habe teure Pläne.
Ich
kaufe mir Baumaschinen, Bagger und Walzen und Kräne.
Stürze
mich auf Berlin, drück auf die Sirene.
Ich baue schöne
Boxentürme, Bässe massieren eure Seele.
Ich bin die
Abrissbirne für die d-d-d-deutsche Szene.

Hey, alles glänzt, so schön
neu.
Hey, wenns dir nicht gefällt, mach neu.
Die Welt
mit Staub bedeckt, doch ich will sehn wo’s hingeht.
Steig
auf den Berg aus Dreck, weil oben frischer Wind weht.
Hey,
alles glänzt, so schön neu.

Ich hab meine alten Sachen satt, und
lass sie in ‘nem Sack verroten.
Motte die Klamotten ein,
und dann geh ich nackt shoppen.
Ich bin komplett renoviert,
Bräute haben was zu glotzen.
Kerngesund, durchtrainiert,
Weltmeister im Schach und Boxen.
Nur noch konkret reden, gib
mir ein ja oder nein.
Schluss mit Larifari, ich lass all die
alten Faxen sein.

Sollt ich je wieder kiffen, hau ich
mir ‘ne Axt ins Bein.
Ich will nie mehr Lügen, ich
will jeden Satz auch so meinen.
Mir platzt der Kopf, alles muss
ich verändern.
Ich such den Knopf, treffe die mächtigen
Männer.
Zwing das Land zum Glück, kaufe Banken und
Sender.
Alles spielt verrückt, zitternde Schafe und
Lämmer.
Ich seh besser aus als Bono, und bin’ n Mann
des Volkes.
Bereit die Welt zu retten, auch wenn das vielleicht
zu viel gewollt ist.

Hey, alles glänzt, so schön
neu.
Hey, wenns dir nicht gefällt, mach neu.
Hier ist
die Luft verbraucht, das Atmen fällt mir schwer.
Bye Bye
ich muss hier raus, die Wände kommen näher.
Die Welt
mit Staub bedeckt, doch ich will sehn wo’s hingeht.
Steig
auf den Berg aus Dreck, weil oben frischer Wind weht.
Hey,
alles glänzt, so schön neu.

I burn my studio, schnupfe ashes such
as coke.
I kill mean gold fish, bury it in the yard.
I
chase my Bude up, everything which I have release I.
My old
life, tastes like `n labriger toast.
Roast me a splendor
steak, Peter cooks now finest meat.
I am the update, Peter Fox
1.1.

I want to abshaken, celebrate, but my
pond is too small.
Me grows new lines up goods as with the
white shark.
Gewachst, gedopet, polishes, brand-new teeth.
I
am euphorisiert, and have expensive plans.
I buy construction
machines, excavators and rollers and cranes.
Falls me on
Berlin, press on the siren.
I build beautiful box towers,
basses mass your soul.
I am the outline pear for the
D-D-D-German scene.

Hey, everything shines, so
beautifully again.
Hey, wenns you does not please, does not
make again.
Die Welt with dust covers, but I want long wo's
go.
Rise to the mountain from dirt, because fresh above wind
blows.
Hey, everything shines, so beautifully again.

I have my old things fullly, and
leave it in `nem bag red.
Moth the gears, and then go I naked
shoppen.
I am completely reconditioned, brides have which to
glotzen.
Nuclearhealthy, world champion in chess and boxes
through-trains.
Talk only concretely, give me or no.

Conclusion with Larifari, I let all old faxes be.

Are if I to ever again kiffen, strike
yourself I `ne axe in the leg.
I want never more lies, I want
each sentence also in such a way to mean.
The head, everything
bursts to me must I change.
I look for the button, meet the
powerful men.
Force the country fortunately, buy banks and
transmitters.
Everything plays moved, trembling sheep and
lambs.
I seh better out than Bono, and bin' n man of the
people.
To save ready the world, even if that is perhaps too
much intended.

Hey, everything shines, so
beautifully again.
Hey, wenns you does not please, does not
make again.
Here air is used up, breathing falls me heavily.

Bye Bye I must here raus, the walls approaches.
Die Welt
with dust covers, but I want long wo's go.
Rise to the
mountain from dirt, because fresh above wind blows.
Hey,
everything shines, so beautifully again.

Classic Compaq Commercials, Part III

August 4th, 2008

Back in the 80’s, Compaq ran a series of commercials in England starring John Cleese of Monty Python fame (of course, if you don’t know who John Cleese is, you should put underwear on your head and smack yourself with bricks!).

We’ve seen “Boring” and “That Trendy Computer” already, so here’s “Portable – Compared to this Fish”.
