Zach's secret revealed!
While doing research for my Lexicon article, I found...
This! http://www.themanitoban.com/science-tec ... ast-cereal
I don't know why Zach didn't tell us about it, he probably just forgot or something. Also, what the hell were they thinking comparing him to the Far Side?!

Seriously, that guy's lucky that Sheriff Dani wasn't around to set him straight.

Re: Zach's secret revealed!
Dani was right and not right.
The Far Side connection is only applicable to those who don't know the comic. Joe Plumber doesn't know what a "single-panel" comic is. So the comparison to Far Side is fair, because there is no other single-panel comic that is as universal.
That said I would still probably use the phrase, hoping that someone would get it. Otherwise I describe it as Far Side without the censorship of print media.
And a humour comic that is single-panel is bound to use some of the same humour as another single-panel humour comic.
Also, hooray for Canadian University newspapers! I used to write for one, after all.

Re: Zach's secret revealed!
Regardless, arguing about how Gary Larson and his time-traveling theftitude does not answer the real questions regarding the current situation:
Why did Zach do an interview with a newspaper from Canadia without letting anybody know? Did he think that we would never find out? What article are you doing this turn, Mage? What's that smell? What the hell was I thinking, trying to resurrect ForumBattle? Are you sure that you're right about the smell? I mean, it just doesn't seem like it would really be that pungent, you know?

Good question. And it is frustrating seeing that red indicator that there are unread posts, but I can't go in to read them!Edminster wrote:What the hell was I thinking, trying to resurrect ForumBattle?

Re: Zach's secret revealed!
Bam! Should be fixed. However, the rest of my questions remain mysteriously unanswered.

1. He probably forgot. He's busy with the whole updating everyday lest people complain like babies.Edminster wrote:Why did Zach do an interview with a newspaper from Canadia without letting anybody know?

2. If he DID plan to not to tell us, then I guess he'd think we'd never find about it, since we do seem like lazy bums.
3. You'll find out tomorrow. Let's just say, more of Zach's secrets will be revealed.
4. That's the musky odor emanating from your mom's room. Sorry I forgot to close the door.
5. I have no idea. Once we're done with Lexicon, I assume this idea will be more plausible.
6. Yes, I'm sure.
7. Well, I am very manly.

Mabey he didn't realize until afterwards that they were Canadian. He's probably trying to wash the dirty away.
Just like an std, will never fully go away.

Re: Zach's secret revealed!
Pfft, like Twitter is a reliable news source. If Zach really wanted us to follow it, he'd have it on his frontpage like KC Green and Spike.

Re: Zach's secret revealed!
I can see the headlines now: "Zach declares Canadian press forgettable!"
Doin' podcasts before they were cool.

Double post madness:
Zach is engaged, apparently. Kudos.

Now who's going to write the Lexicon entry about Queen Weiner?
