I think I need to implement 'glacial profanity' in my own life immediately.
I shall have to try that mantra.
Perhaps I shall try that mantra while attempting to fill out your "yes, I'm human, let me post my comment" box. Seriously, Scott, can you get one that uses real words? This is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Swearing in a comic without swearing or using !@#$%^&*...
Pure genius.
Glacial profanity FTW, bbbiiiiiiiiiittttttccchhhhhheeeessss!
"glacial profanity"
that's a tee shirt, bumper sticker, internet meme waiting to explode across the western pop consciousness for next fifteen days (Andy Warhol was slightly wrong, due to inflation, everyone gets a shot of fame for at least fifteen days)
Nice try... but in panel 2 those are NOT jazz hands. No cookie for you.
Glacial profanity.
Brilliant!
Funny as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Glacial Profanity" is the name of my new Tito Puente cover band.
Oh gawd...perfect timing of this comic for me today.
I've always thought about meditation as a concept but I never could nail down the specifics. This is perfect! (and hilarious)
I have just adopted Glacial Profanity as a new work method!
This one was good, 'glacial profanity' should be a new term in Merriam and Webster's!
Heh, that was great. I want to print out the first panel and post it on my wall.
At least on Saturdays.
(Anyone else think of the Principia Discordia at "Mu?" Or am I just weird?)
mental note:
Making Scott work on Saturday will release the curse of the masking tape mummy
Just tried. A smashing success! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I loved the glacial profanity!
No no no!
Please, Scott, keep the current "yes, I'm human, let me post my comment" box. It's the only one I've seen that makes me feel assured I really am human. All the others are too easy. Sometimes I don't post anything and just sit there flipping through each new captcha in hopes it will become easier for me. Even when I do post, I'm never quite sure I really succeeded until the post is approved. I always imagine it failed, but that Scott later compares my captcha guess to the image and deciding whether my failed guess could be from a human.
You must keep it! Please!
@Kate: Trust me, this is nowhere close to the worst possible Captcha. The worst ones distort the letters to near-Picasso extremes, and they put random blotches behind the letters. They also throw in accent marks and stuff that is darn near to mathematical formulas. You never have to type the accent marks, but it can be confusing. Anyone without perfect eyesight and good spatial reasoning is screwed.
Some tips on glacial profanity:
1. Each intonation must be a separate syllable
2. Your facial expression must match the non-glacial emotion (holding this is challenging, at first)
3. If anyone catches on, switch to mumbling to yourself--that will drive them away
I agree, Kate. At least at his wife's site
http://themissy.com, the "I am human" code is just four or five characters that you have to not be color-blind to see!This is one of the best in a while!
I CAN\"T STAND IT! AAAAAHAHAAAAAAAAA!
I've been meditatiing since I was twelve, and I've also been using profanity in times of great stress (never trust a study until you've read an accurate synopsis, half of them are actually anti-science - where you start with the conclusion you want and build a \"study\" to \"prove\" it...Yelling obscenities is a whole lot more satisfying than \"Gosh Darn!\" \"Gee whiz\", and \"Wellllll sugar!\")
I never thought to combine meditation and obscenities. I will have to tell the crew about this!
Pure Genius!
Yup! Glacial Profanity is my new 'calming' method. (I laughed so hard at panel three that I think I hurt myself.)
