Due to the astounding inability of Time Warner Cable to provide service, I didn't get to finish this and other posts on Friday. My internet is still down but thanks to the magic of unprotected WiFi, I can finally connect, at least for the time being. Thank you unknown neighbor for letting me share your internet!

• New Get Your War On strips are up. I long for the day when David Rees can't find any more material for the strips. The world's just teeing it up for him now.

  So it's apparently a viral for some organic milk joint, which makes sense. Right? Eh. I do appreciate silly virals like this and Iike the Obey Giantish art direction.
