Noah’s Ark

I don’t think we give God enough credit… …for what an asshole he was for the whole Noah’s ark thing. Here’s a God that gets pissed off because all the people are evil, but he’s obviously done very little to try to curb that situation. Nowadays people blame evil on lack of religion. But thinkContinue Reading

What if you went back in time and pineapple sodomized Hitler?

I think about imaginary Hitler scenarios entirely too much. You may have noticed if you’ve ever give my old webcomic site, http://thebestdrawings.com a visit. Lots of ridiculous Hitler moments, such as Hitler Holocausting Turkeys for Thanksgiving, Hitler being kicked in the balls by Batman, or Hitler killing himself because he’s emo. Just good ol’ fashion Hitler fun. WellContinue Reading

Existentialism on the Help Desk

ThenContinue Reading

Mortar Control

In light of the recent tragedy in Connecticut everyone seems to be talking about relaxing gun control. Which makes sense,  it’s only logical that the key to less gun violence is more guns that are easier to get. Do you know that nobody that has ever legally purchased a gun has ever gone on aContinue Reading

Here is a set I did at Joey’s Comedy Club earlier this week. For this set I did the same set I performed at my basic comedy graduation show at Mark Ridley’s back in May to see how far I’d come.Honestly I think I’ve come a long way,  I’m much more comfortable on stage thanContinue Reading

Google Now is Anti-Education

I recently noticed that Google Now has a very hard time with the word Education. Or maybe I just have a funny Michigander accent? Hell if I know.Continue Reading

The Upper Level of Bad Car Graphics

I saw this truck on my way home today and had to snap a quick phone picture. This is the most confusing and poorly designed truck graphics I’ve ever seen. It begs so many questions, such as… Why is there a poor resolution giant falling out the back it? I feel like they were trying toContinue Reading
