XKCD comes through again to clarify something that is commonly referenced.  The base system has been varying interpretations.  Some say first base is kissing.  Some say first base is a hand job.  There is too big a difference there, and not having a solid definition can cause serious confusion for all.  Thanks to XKCD we now have the complete definition.

This is new.  A web comic that actually has some relevance to me.  As you all should know, I am back in school doing a firefighter pre service course.  It is 3 semesters of full time school to prepare you for a career as a firefighter.  That covers half of this C & H comic.  About the strippers…hmmm…well…I like strippers!  As for an update with everything else going on: I haven’t traded the last couple days because I have been busy either studying or playing hockey.  I may not be able to trade tonight either as I have an essay to write and a test to study for.  FOCK…I thought I was in school to learn how to put water on fire!  If I do manage to squeeze in a trade then you will be the first to know.  Anyways, here is that comic:

A lazy Saturday morning and I really don’t have anything special to talk about.  My bro is in town from Florida so a large part of my weekend is spent doing things with the family.  So, thanks to XKCD, I don’t have to think much about this blog post.  This is pretty ingenious.  You know…just in case.

Enough of this learning nonsense.  To hell with Forex.  Let’s see more cartoons!  I can’t go more than a few days with bringing you something fun from the worlds best web comic sites.  This is another one from Explosm.  Here we have something all you office workers are completely familiar with: casual Friday.  The one day a week where you can where jeans and t shirts.  I never really had to make use of this day.  I wore whatever the hell I wanted all the time.  Hell, I worked at home some days and didn’t even wear clothes!  Now that I am a student you would think I would have a similar setup.  No dice.  My firefighter pre service course requires us to wear a uniform.  We wear station wear to class.  And, there is no such thing as casual Friday.  I am fairly certain that would get my ass kicked out!  See what happens when we take the idea of casual Friday to new levels…

My friend Owen forced me to check this comic out, and blog about it.  Nah, he just reminded me that SMBC doesn’t have the only awesome comics out there.  XKCD has been producing some awesome little sketches for a long time.  This one is cool.  We live in an age of amazing technology that makes the most unlikely communication possible.  Unfortunately, there is no substitute for common sense.  This one hit close to home as well.  A long time ago I worked with someone who complained that he tried to email, IM, call and page me.  He was livid that I was not available for contact.  What he failed to do was walk the 20 feet from his desk to my desk to discover I was busy talking to someone.  So much technology, so few brain cells.

Here is something almost completely mindless - but incredibly funny.  This is another comic from what is fast becoming a favorite site of mine, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.  Here is the question: if you were stranded on an island with only a time machine, what would you do?  This is probably the most creative solution I have ever seen.  Short sighted?  Absolutely!  But still very funny.  Enjoy!

No trade for me this morning.  I have plans to go out and I don’t have time to watch the charts.  I am looking at them right now and I don’t see any pattern.  I could just enter a trade but it would be a total guess.  I might as well throw all my money in a poker game if that was how I traded.  Anyways, I have another video of Chubbs that I still have to throw together.  I am hoping to have that done sometime soon.  For today, you get a C & H cartoon.  This is just kinda funny.  Not only that, it moves.  That makes it twice as awesome.  Enjoy!

I was planning on bringing something incredibly thought provoking for you this morning.  Unfortunately, I am about to lose my work computer for a good part of the day.  My co-worker screwed her laptop up and is waiting on some repairs.  I can either loan her mine, or do work.  I figure I will let her use my comp while I play some Nintendo DS.  So, I figured I would quickly throw this post together so that you have a reason to come back!  There are many people that you should consider not dating.  A cop, because you might get some extra tickets.  A ninja, they could kill you before you have finished breaking up with them.  I never saw the danger in breaking up with a magician until now…

Another day that I couldn’t trade.  Actually, I might avoid trading today as well.  I have a puppy and a hockey game and a job…oh man!  I turned into an adult overnight!!!  This week has just been particularly crazy.  I would have traded last night but I was meeting friends downtown.  So, instead of making money I spent money.  Tis the season!  We had a nice snow storm last night, so a 30 minute trip from downtown turned into 1.5 hours.  The girlfriend walked the dog this morning and apparently he was jumping all over the snow and trying to eat it.  I will try to get that on camera tonight…assuming there is still snow on the ground.  Since I can’t bring you anything Forex or puppy related I will do the next best thing: talk about flow charts.  This continues my trend about straying as far from topic as possible.  Flow charts can be tricky.  Here is a flow chart that teaches you how to follow flow charts.  Thank XKCD for this one!

Sorry for the late post today!  Last night I didn’t get a chance to trade.  It turns out that our bulldog Chubbs managed to squeeze himself between some gates and got into the living room at my girlfriends apartment.  The little monster decided Christmas is too far away and opened all the gifts.  He also thought our tree looked stupid so he knocked all the decorations off it.  Then, he figured the Internet is dumb and went to work on the modem and router.  Luckily he didn’t do permanent damage to anything.  But, it caused me to spend my evening shoring up our defenses.  A couple slabs of wood has now closed the gaps and he is going to have to respect the gate…for now.  This morning we had to take him to the vet just for a checkup.  He looks to be in perfect health and will be terrorizing Christmas trees and modems for many years to come!  I wish I had a pic of the damage he did, but my girlfriend cleaned it up long before I got there.  Anyways, here is a comic from Explosm to reward your patience.
