The Funny Times, May 2009

Originally published on Los Thunderlads, 23 April 2009:

None of the good cartoons this time are pastable; the magazine’s website doesn’t even have the current cover up. But there are some good one-liners. From Jason Love’s column: “Remember that you are totally unique just like everyone else”; “The best part about gay men is that they aren’t always trying to prove that they’re not gay”; “Live each day like it’s your second-to-last. That way you can fall asleep at night”; and (recommended by Mrs Acilius) “Men are hit by lightning four times more often than women, proof that God is improving Her aim.”

Curmudgeon has a couple of good one-liners, too. Robert Benchley, told that drinking is “slow poison”: “So who’s in a hurry?” Homer Simpson’s toast: “Here’s to alcohol, the cause of- and solution to- all life’s problems.” Denis Leary: “I would never do crack. I would never do a drug named after a part of my own ass, okay?”
