Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Best dinner ever!

Wow! I don't really post here all that often, do I? Hm. Ok, I promise: as soon as I recover from this head-wound, I'll put up a post about how the WGA strikers are dead write...

From what I hear the WGA strike is about over. But, I encourage you to write your piece anyway! I'm all for reading about how my fellow writers are write!

Especially when they actually are.

I have a hard time believing the capitalists companies are going to make an offer that the WGA members can actually live with. Hope springs eternal, though...

I don't get the cartoon. As usual, Andrew.

It's not very funny even if you do get it, Ron.

Are the first and last panels part of the same cartoon as the middle two?

It's like just a series of inside jokes, I guess.

What's it the inside of?

I get it, but I'm weird like that. The "+5:Delicious" is my favorite line.

I take it as a slap at wikipedia's accuracy and worth.

OK...

An obscure in-joke cartoon to distract Ron and jaymaster and Elisha and Bryan.

WGA strike to distract Kevin.

Way to hide the lede, Andrew! Head wound?

It's funny if you know much about Wikipedia and Slashdot.

(The first panel only makes sense if you've been reading QC, of course.)

And a head wound!

If he doesn't get aound to explaining that soon, I say we make up our own explanation. Personally, I'm leaning toward "Clobbered with a MacBook by a scab writer trying to cross the WGA picket line while Andrew bravely stood his ground."

I'd ask you to write that one up, Kevin, but you're on strike.

Wikipedia, like the Internet, is just a passing fad that no one will remember in 10 years.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
