@Mikey
He’s going through some stuff right now. You wouldn’t understand. Hes down to 90 pixels wide. All we can do is pray.

@DrippledCick
Oh well. I still don’t begrudge him anything. These situations seem cut and dry until you live through them. Im not in his shoes so I can’t really judge. Though I’m sure they are nicer shoes than he had before the giant pay off. Actually the vista boat turns bright blue, shuts off and capsizes in shark invested waters because Joel accidentally pulled out the USB drive without properly ejecting it first.

@Matthew
I hadn’t read FSJ until the shutdown story so I totally fell for it. That was until his post about turning down the $500K and his lawyer saying he fucked the fido. Then I realized I was being taken for a ride. I hope no one took that whole thing too seriously. He does put “FAKE” right in the title.

The FSJ–Apple thing wasn’t a lie, it was pure liquid satire.

[...] Check out their homage to the FSJ Shutdown Drama here. Meanwhile the nice dudes at Hijinks did a comic on the same subject here. [...]

About the last panel…. You should add a bunch of piranha (virus) chasing the Vista boat.
Also, shouldn’t the two guys under the Zune sail be squirting each other?

It is well know fact that the EFF was on the case and Apple settled with TS because they would end up losing. So he is a sell out.

Joel… is your virtual self losing weight? Did he stop eating again? I’d hate to have that uncomfortable sit down again so we can talk about “body image.”

For God’s sakes… eat something virtual Joel- your eyes are bulging out of your head!

I keep JoCo in my pocket next to my keys. Robot music sounds like my kind of robot music. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Is Think Secret anything like Pop Secret?

In a total non sequitur (is it truly a non sequitur once I make a segue? And no jokes about that gay, 2-wheeled contraption!), I know you have a special place in your heart (head, pants?) for Jonathan Coulton, so I thought you might appreciate this:

Artist: No They Do
Album: When Robots Rule the World

No They Do is the all-robot musical collective led by musicologist and “future’s Alan Lomax,” XJ3. Its album is the soundtrack of the inevitable future, in which robots destroy the human race, discover acoustic guitars and play robot folk music.

Song: “More Songs About Oven Mitts”

(hmm, I don’t remember if your comments accept html. Anywho, the song is called “More Songs About Oven Mitts” and can be found at: http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=17523144&m=17524989)

@AJ
Sorry, that was a one off custom paint job.

@josh
“what do you take me for? some sort of cheap whore? ”
Do you really want me to answer that?
