It warms my heart that someone out there still draws inspiration from MacGyver:

I don’t blame her; a large gathering of people coming together to discuss hand-wavey applications of The Dismal Science would knock me out too.
(According to this article, she’s there in her capacity as a campaigner for refugees and against sex trafficking.)

Lasagna Cat is a site where you can watch videos of costumed actors re-enacting various Garfield comic strips, complete with a laugh track! Each video features a re-enactment of the comic strip, followed by the original comic strip, followed by a music video inspired by the comic strip. It’s odd, but amusing.
Here’s a still from the re-enactment of the April 4, 2007 comic in which Garfield makes some biting social commentary. Click the picture below to see the video:
Here’s one featuring both Garfield and Jon (re-enacting a comic from January 24, 1994). Click the picture below to see the video:
No Garfield tribute would be complete without Odie, so here’s a classic from June 1, 1982 in which Garfield tries to grab Odie’s wagging tail. Click the picture below to see the video:
There are 27 videos in all, and you can find them at lasagnacat.com.
One of the things I noticed at Tom and Michele’s housewarming party (which I covered in this entry and this entry) was that the people there, whether or not they realized it, seemed to be observing the Seven Minute Rule, pictured below:
As the comic excerpt above puts it:
…if you’re a girl with a boyfriend and you meet a guy at a party, you MUST make a reference to your boyfriend within the first seven minutes of conversation.
Girls with boyfriends are shameless abusers of the long-flirt. Since they already have someone to go home to, they don’t have to float from guy to guy searching for meat. Because of this, the guys they talk to mistakenly believe the girls are interested in them, ESPECIALLY when they talk for hours without mentioning their boyfriends.
The excerpt above comes from Tip Me Over, Pour Me Out, an autobiographical webcomic written by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and illustrated by Lisa Hanawalt. Being a rather relaxed kind of guy, I find neurosis highly amusing and Bob-Waksberg’s ability to tell a funny yarn makes it doubly so (he’s part of a comedy troupe called Olde English). Tip Me Over, Pour Me Out has been finding its stride in its most recent episodes; I’m going to be keeping an eye on this webcomic.
