Umm, what bit cracked you up? I don't get it . . .
I mean, I clicked on the period as hard as I could, but nothing happened . . .
I clicked the link again, Mitch, and again, I laughed like a fool. I don't think an explanation is likely to make you laugh, but a simple chart with x and y would have been funny enough, because of the implied violence against gophers, but including the z instructions in the pie chart is inspired goofiness--interpretations may differ on that last bit, but it called to mind little boys taking great care to make complex rules for violent little games--the confusion about "z" struck me as perfect mocking.
Oh, so Mr Nice wasn't highbrow enough for you, but gophers are?
Actually, that's pretty funny.
Still stinging from the Mr. Nice episode, eh?
Oh, I got the joke (honest, I did!), I was just pretending I couldn't find the link, as with my brilliant performance in Fontana's last post.
And yeah, I think it's funny. Much funnier than Mr. Nice.
Ok, everyone's a joker.
Much much funnier than Mr. Nice.
On the scale from not funny at all to absolutley and completely funny Mr. Nice can't even see that gopher chart.
If the gopher chart were on Earth, and Mr. Nice on Sedna, Mr. Nice would be closer to gopher chart funny than he is now.
Look, you jerks, Mr Nice doesn't even work anymore. I hope you're happy.
handless, armless, and out of a job....how tragic. Damn you George Bush!!
He doesn't work anymore? I guess it's no more Mr. Nice guy, huh?
Sorry.
This cartoon may be one of those "you had to be there" things.
Well, Ogged, you seem to have maximized the comments-to-post-length ratio.
Thanks to (the late lamented) Mr. Nice.
Sorry, I completely don't get it. Is it a golf thing, like Caddyshack? And why are players' and gophers' (and I'm not even bringing up the any-questions) fractions being represented as if they added up to some whole? Are their respective portions of the player-plus-gopher population (or is it their mass?) relevant to something funny? I don't mean to over-nerd it, but some nerdiness seems appropriate to a cartoon that's obviously supposed to be at least somewhat abstract.
I go away for a while and all of a sudden everyone's speaking Martian.
