You're such an ass.
That's why I love you.

Are you eyeballin' me? Get your ball , out of my eye AND GIVE TWENTY ! ... (fives and ones, will be fine)

You even included the full hand point, which takes like, seconds, if not minutes, to master! (It's part of the final test at drill sergeant school.)

If I find one of my users giving themselves the username INCORRECT I'm gonna know:

a) they are basic instructions fans and

b) what their password is.

Another amazing laugh! I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly there's a rash of identity thefts. All from people with the username INCORRECT who mysteriously also all had the same password.

I'm impressed that he even got the little hand gesture down in the first panel. Although I was never told I was "incorrect" at basic, just "WRONG. YOU ARE WRONG."

HMMMM...I'm now left wondering if my basic training experience wasn't nearly as abusive as all this points to because I bribed my CC with homemade german chocolate cake from my mom, or because it was Navy basic rather than Marines or Army (Air Force basic? that even makes squids laugh).

I see a series coming on. Include the MHB in this. This feels like life at the office, too.

This is so funny. I soon shall cow all to my demand and make lessons more memorable in the process.

As a reader of "The God Delusion" I am deeply ashamed to admit that I am leaving a comment because I didn't want Scott to have 13 comments any longer :-(

no offense, constructive criticism: I feel this to be a bit contrived. Going over the top needs a solid base. Mostly your characters do, think or seem to feel something I can relate to, at least vaguely--this, however, is more verbal slapstick than screwball.

Besides, as a programmer, bad passwords put me off. The half-bearded bozo seems to have a hunch going in the right direction.

September 1, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterM. Möhling

As a programmer, why don't you sit down and have a nice, hot cup of shut the fuck up? Who cares if you can relate to it in whatever form you want to take? Go read Dilbert and marvel at how much Scott Adams seems to be inside your head.
