How to Ponder the Imponderable
I'm still considering doing an event in Seattle in late March/Early april. It'd be a book signing / Presentation / Q&A. Missy, Ric and many other familiar faces would be in attendance.
I would be there also.
There'd be a small door charge to help cover travel costs and such. Again, if you're in the Greater Seattle Metroplex, and would be interested in attending such a thing, please say so in the comments below. If you've already left a comment saying you'd attend, there's no need to leave another. The first one was counted. I'm just trying to see if the whole thing is feasible.
Thanks!

Scott, thank you for all the laughter and jokes you brought into my family's life this year! I would love to attend a show, but I live in Iowa, so I couldn't hang out with you in Seattle.
I'd come if it was in Australia!
I would also come if it was in Australia! Preferably Melbourne.
a suggestion for the event:
do a spoken word of Rocketman while wearing your black t-shirt.
I'm planning a trip to portland from LA, and this might tip the balance on dates, just because it'd be a fun, unique, nerdy thing to do. I can't say "count me in" but I can say "I will be watching this space with interest", which, now that I've written it, seems useless. sorry.
I'm down in Portland, and if it's on one of my days off I'd be down to driving up for it.
Why do you always hear about water being contaminated with raw sewage? Would it be better or worse if it was cooked sewage? Imagining the implications, I would say in health terms, better, but in all other ways worse. MUCH worse.
I do live in Seattle and I'd certainly turn up at such an event.
I'd consider coming down. Depends on the timing.
Today's comic reminds me of something I heard once: everywhere you go, it smells like snot.
You know, I heard once that people who've studied how our sense of smell works claim that oxygen actually should smell really, really foul.
I don't remember where I heard that, so take it with a grain of salt, but I thought it was kind of appropriate here.
These are the kind of things I sit and ponder about.
Also, it'd be really awesome to be able to attend event, but alas my lack of funding and severe social anxiety prevents such a thing from occurring.
"do a spoken word of Rocketman while wearing your black t-shirt."
Nah, it would truly be epic if you did a spoken-word of Rocketman while wearing your Rocket Hat costume.
the very last line provides some insight into why i read this strip religiously :)
If by "Seattle" you mean NYC, then count me in! But if by "Seattle" you actually mean Seattle, then I can't make it because they put Seattle on the wrong side of the country.
@Doug-But then if he were wearing his Rocket Hat costume, saying a spoken word of Rocket Man would involve him being completely silent.
I'd love to see you do a book signing, but I'm in Florida. If you do one in SEC territory instead of PAC-10, please let us know!
I would love to attend but no longer live in Seattle, unless they have the rare yellow limes, then I may reconsider!
I'd like to come to the event in Seattle.
all i need is someone willing to drive me to seattle..........any takers?
No. A mimed version of Rocket Hat. That would be most epic. And metal.
Wait. Do people actually say greengrocer? In the US, that is.
I usually say farm market, fruit stand or something similar.
I would prefer to see the smoking jacket.
Hey Scott,
I'm local to Seattle and would love to come out for a meet and greet or whatnot.
Another great Pacific NW reference with the hydroplanes.
But speaking of "hear", I don't really hear them quite so much. I used to be able to hear the roar from the Columbia for miles. I mean, years ago on Sundays over that weekend, I'd be attending church and hear a distinct ROARRRR going into the meetinghouse... not so much with the newer turbine engines, now.
Why do we drive on the parkway and park in the driveway? has already been asked (George Carlin)
Also, how do all those shoes get alongside the road? (they're migrating)
Why do cats and dogs get along better than men and women? is easy - they don't overthink.
When are ya gonna come down? (not 'till we run out of money)
and of course, Why is there always a war somewhere on the planet? Because too many people think they're right (or their leaders are)
