I can never forgive Comic Sans.

Chick-fil-a?! Home of the deep fried chicken biscuit sandwich? HOT DAMN! If only they would move the the Northwest...

Oh gawd, I read this strip about six months ago and died a little every second. I used to be a hostess at Red Lobster (sister restaurant), and that comic is pretty dead on.

As for the racial thing, I understand the discomfort, but since this is based on that guys actual years of working at Olive Garden, it doesn't bother me. He probably just didn't think twice about it - assuming that the customer was actually black. But hey, it's complicated, and I'm not the artist. ::shrug::

Damn good strip, though.

Beecher's Flagship!

Where did this guy live? Reading Frenzy bookstore in Portland, OR has a rather expansive box collection on it's walls. I'm not positive they were there last year when I visited, and this list seems pretty similar. Perhaps he donated them!?

I live in an apartment, so no garden for me just yet. But certainly the first thing I would plant would be MIRACLE FRUIT. Because it's amazing, hard to find, hard to grow, and I finally found a place to buy seeds. Then mint, for drinks and ice cream, and crushing in my hand to remind me of my grandpa, and tomatoes, of course.
