goodness!! good morning bw!!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:08am From: Joe Steele

Guido beach, I saw that one before...

Mon. 7/27/09 9:09am From: bw

good morning all!
yes that beach vid is a classic!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:17am From: AnAnonymousParty

Who knew playing disco bingo could make you immortal?

Mon. 7/27/09 9:19am From: bw

hah!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:23am From: Ike

Hey everybody! Amazing first set, as usual! Always a killer show. The competition is giving away tickets to APW, but screw that, I'm staying tuned right here.

Mon. 7/27/09 9:27am From: Joe Steele

I don't care how funky the music is, how can they guarantee you won't be in a fatal accident?

Mon. 7/27/09 9:31am From: krebstar

LOVE the video. could you provide a permalink for it? As list keeps refreshing and restarting video...

Mon. 7/27/09 9:34am From: bw

krebstar - I got it on youtube.. guido beach

Mon. 7/27/09 9:34am From: AnAnonymousParty

That's right, be immortalized or be corrected.

Mon. 7/27/09 9:35am From: krebstar

brilliant thanks!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:39am From: bw

glad you are stickin around Ike

Mon. 7/27/09 9:39am From: Alice Cooper

We're all gonna rock to the rules that you make,
I wanna be corrected, corrected, corrected.

Mon. 7/27/09 9:50am From: Cecile

You know if you eat wintergreen certs in the dark, and bite down hard, you see green sparks. I've done it.

Mon. 7/27/09 9:54am From: bw

cecile
I cant believe I never tried that!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:54am From: AnAnonymousParty

Hey, it's a singing dalek!

Mon. 7/27/09 9:56am From: Wally

Im a dirty robot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFzCIBi27cI

Mon. 7/27/09 9:56am From: Cecile

We did it in the 70s. We heard the rumors, and when Scientific American confirmed it, we had to find the nearest darkroom and try it.

I haven't heard walking in the sunshine in FOREVER...

Mon. 7/27/09 10:01am From: bw

thanks Wally!

Mon. 7/27/09 10:03am From: Cecile

ok, it's obvious but Robots (The Humans are Dead) by FotC is still a good robot song. Just saying.

or cosmic cars. that would be good.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:04am From: AnAnonymousParty

Sorry, but I can't help thinking that imposed mandatory immortality is just a cheap ploy by the government to make you pay more taxes.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:06am From: Joe Steele

It was the government's solution to Social Security running out.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:07am From: Ghost of Billy Mays

See how dirty that robot is? Wait til you see the unbelieveable difference RobOxi-clean is gonna make!

Mon. 7/27/09 10:08am From: AnAnonymousParty

Yep, kills two birds with one stone, being immortal means you never reach retirement age, and you pay taxes forever. It's win-win.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:14am From: AnAnonymousParty

I knew it, Jon and Sue are gonna be tax exiles.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:15am From: Cecile

I like Missus Clark's dress. Very fashion forward.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:15am From: Cecile

Jon and Sue - Just Two

Mon. 7/27/09 10:16am From: annie

they could easily give kal-el a lift?

Mon. 7/27/09 10:18am From: AnAnonymousParty

And the entire way Sue keeps telling Jon to slow down and asking him if they are lost, Jon refuses to stop and ask for directions and they plow straight into a black hole.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:19am From: Cecile

He's already here. Haven't you heard the Obama origin story? ;D

And then Jon finds a hottie in the eternal void, and he and Sue get a divorce.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:27am From: Cecile

This piece feels to me like a 50s comic book version of beatnik music.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:28am From: Carmichael

Good morning BW and listeners.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:29am From: Dr Graffenberg

Yes, give her all the G you can.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:30am From: Pink Floyd

set your controls for the heart of the sun

Mon. 7/27/09 10:31am From: AnAnonymousParty

See, they haven't even left the solar system and Sue is already nagging Jon about his driving, now wonder he doesn't want to be immortal.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:35am From: Cecile

I see where this is going...they're not going to be immortal, are they? I mean, really not going to be immortal...

Mon. 7/27/09 10:35am From: Joe Steele

The Sun's radiation will cancel out their detecto-radar! Nevermind what else it will do...

Mon. 7/27/09 10:35am From: Cecile

Could you play some Gary Higgins?

Mon. 7/27/09 10:36am From: Highlander

There can be only one.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:40am From: Carmichael

I try to use the sun's gravity whenever I drive.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:41am From: Officer issuing citation to Carm

That's fine. But you were still driving above the speed limit.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:46am From: bw

speaking of speed limits! whoopjs on the shijps

Mon. 7/27/09 10:48am From: Cecile

the shijps are giving it all the Gs they got.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:49am From: Carmichael

Wooden shijps,
On the water, very free .....

Mon. 7/27/09 10:50am From: annie

did they remember food?

Mon. 7/27/09 10:51am From: annie

sorry i'm not so pro-active in the comments... i found a go-server on facebook.. brain food!! yumm.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:52am From: AnAnonymousParty

Now they slingshot around the sun and go back in time and save the whales or something.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:55am From: Cecile

they blow up Romulus by accident

Mon. 7/27/09 10:56am From: annie

i think they might end up rescuing khan..

Mon. 7/27/09 10:56am From: Sue

I told Jon to slow down ,but noooo...

Mon. 7/27/09 10:57am From: Whales

Leave us alone, we're at the beach.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:59am From: Joe Steele

Maybe death he says. Yes Jon, definitely death.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:59am From: AnAnonymousParty

Sue enjoys a Vlassic pickle as she speeds by Uranus.

Mon. 7/27/09 10:59am From: Little Anthony

By the way, that "How Can I Be Sure" line? You gotta pay to play, know what I mean Jon?

Mon. 7/27/09 10:59am From: Ren Hoek

Delegate her to guard the big candy apple red button.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:05am From: Kelly

Hey Ben, it's kelly, malin's friend! nice show. got a new song from my band MCQ, check it out! xo
http://www.warroomwarriors.com/xfer/MCQ%20-%20Have%20U%20Ever.mp3

Mon. 7/27/09 11:06am From: Freaked Out Radio Announcer

They're gonna crash! Oh, the inhumanity! I've never seen anything this awful!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:07am From: Script Doctor

Watch out for the convenient contrivances, they're bad for credibility.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:07am From: AnAnonymousParty

Not even 4 billion miles from Earth and Jon manages to run into the only spaceship within 3 light years, he shoulda listened to Sue.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:08am From: Carmichael

YESSS!!!!!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:09am From: Kids In the Back

Are we THERE yet?????

Mon. 7/27/09 11:10am From: Jon

Space-eaten, thats a technical term.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:10am From: OnStar

Jon, this is Becky at OnStar, we've detected you've been in a collision, help is on the way.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:11am From: Mr. Blackwell's Ghost

I like her black lipstick, is that a secret goth message or something?

Mon. 7/27/09 11:14am From: Asimov

For one magic moment there, it was like Dukes of Hazzard in Space!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:15am From: Carmichael

I was right about immortality, Sue. I'm about to kill you, so you can see the difference for yourself.

Too much "Serial Killer Fest" on NatGeo TV last night ....

Mon. 7/27/09 11:17am From: gumby

You'd think that by the 30th century women would have revolted against keeping those silly seams in the back of their stockings straight.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:18am From: Jon

... I'd've just sat back and laughed.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:21am From: AnAnonymousParty

In the 30th century stocking technology has advanced such that the seams automatically keep themselves straight.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:23am From: Sue

Let's do it on the console. Don't spooge the controls, though! Have some self-control, please.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:27am From: AnAnonymousParty

And deep in the throes of passion, Sue'a knee bumps the eject button and the two are shot into the cold vacuum of space.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:30am From: AnAnonymousParty

A planet inhabited entirely by hot women, Jon thinks to himself, "Damn, I could have been immortal."

Mon. 7/27/09 11:34am From: Tech Perspective

Jon has Astro Radar on his console. The RoboEnforcers have Detecto Radar. Apparently Radar was the new high tech thing when this strip was written.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:35am From: Cecile

what about a YMCA or YWCA or something?

Mon. 7/27/09 11:35am From: Amar

or head to coney island beach, where the really gross sh*t happens.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:35am From: trouble

hey there is a great cool old style pool in JC at pershing field...chek into it!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:35am From: Joe Steele

Get a wal-mart pool, put it in the parking lot in JC

Mon. 7/27/09 11:36am From: Joe Steele

Even better! Just turn on a fire hydrant!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:37am From: doug from dc

The dumpster pool gives a whole new meaning to dumpster diving.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:40am From: annie

11:30 monday morning just makes my whole day!!!!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:40am From: Hank

You have kidney stealers, in chicago we have graverobbers

Mon. 7/27/09 11:41am From: Joe Steele

For the record, they don't steal the kidneys, they buy them from us and then give them a HUGE markup.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:42am From: Joe Steele

I was all set to sell when I heard about this. Now I'm cutting out the middleman and getting my moneys worth.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:43am From: Sneaky Kidney Seller

Psst. Psst. Over here. I can get it for you wholesale.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:43am From: AnAnonymousParty

Until WalMart gets involved, then anyone can get a kidney for $23.79.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:44am From: Walmart

After all, we have plenty of good connections in China! Nod, wink, say no more.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:44am From: Cecile

they land back on Earth in the age of the dinosaurs. Then they step on a butterfly and Bush becomes president. That's how I'd end it. har.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:45am From: Lloyd Bridges

By this time my lungs we're bursting for air ...

Mon. 7/27/09 11:46am From: Carmichael

Those plants look straight out of Dr. Seuss.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:49am From: Dr Seuss

And to think that I saw it on Benjamin Street

Mon. 7/27/09 11:50am From: still b/p

John and Sue bring the profitable technology to this world that can apply or remove stars on the bellies of sneetches.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:50am From: Jon

We could make chicken with honking mushrooms in that volcano. If we had chicken, I mean.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:50am From: Carmichael

He he ... a voice from behind the marijuana windmill!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:51am From: Marijuana leaves

Obviously I beat them to this planet, and grow on palmtrees now.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:51am From: Jon

You damn near killed us with you're oxygen hogging, jerks!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:52am From: Cecile

Dude. Key party in SPACE!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:52am From: Spicolli

Glad you could join us, my bodacious friends!

Mon. 7/27/09 11:52am From: Other Couple

We saw what you two did on the console, you sly dogs.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:53am From: annie

cecile, i was just thinking the same thing...

Mon. 7/27/09 11:53am From: AnAnonymousParty

Well, what were you doing in the baggage compartment that whole time? Oh, uh, heh-heh.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:54am From: Demography is Destiny

After all, we got a planet to populate here! :-P

Mon. 7/27/09 11:54am From: Joe Steele

Then Jon gets swine flu, the end.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:55am From: AnAnonymousParty

Stoned out of there gourds on alien 'shrooms, the four finally become temporarily immortal.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:55am From: Carmichael

They have some righteous blue shrooms in the lower left-hand corner.

Mon. 7/27/09 11:55am From: Sue

You can heat a weenie with me any old time

Mon. 7/27/09 11:57am From: Carmichael

Thanks for the comix and music BW.

Mon. 7/27/09 12:40pm From: G
