A funny place to keep dust.

Hate to be a contrary Mary, but the fifth season of Family Guy is some of the best animated comedy I have seen.

I think that dust mask may have ridden up over your eyes.

Don't get me wrong, it's not not funny, I just think it's not imaginative any more, it's so busy trying to be random that it's predictable overall.

The one thing I dislike about Family Guy is the scenes where the characters will suddenly break out of what they're doing and go into some long conversation. A good example of this is at the end of "The Father, the Son and the Holy Fonz", where Francis, Peter and Brian suddenly start talking inanely about idiots and Madonna. It just goes on for far too long and it isn't funny.

Everything else in the show is hilarious. "Everybody spit on Meg".
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

Oh that's the worst argument I've heard since Peter entered explained the holocaust to those Jewish pre-school kids....

*looks around*

... No clip?

Hmm. Thought there was going to be a clip there.

and this subjective opinion is a FACT.
I do expect this backed up with scientific evidence, and by this I mean:
- Scatter graphs with trendlines
- Analysis equations that trail off the end of the page
- LOTS of jargon
- And, of course, the pretence that you weren't working toward this conclusion and are therefore as surprised as us all to discover this!

My handwriting's not great but it's not as bad as in the previous image. That's just particularly inept rushed scrawl for added effect. I couldn't have you thinking it's the genuine article.

Know what? I take that back. My handwriting is consistently terrible after all.

I knew that. My handwriting isn't very good either, but strangely I inherited the nice way my mum and dad write particular letters of the alphabet.
