Second! Least Dangerous Game returns this Saturday! The Twin Cities wide game of hide and seek is exactly what you need to get yourself out and about in the location you have chosen to live. Go to the website to sign up and get more information.

Third! I am working on a new comic strip, that will be found right here. Don’t go there now! There is nothing! But come June 3rd, believe you me, a new comic strip will start. Will it be the best thing ever? I don’t want to over hype it, so the answer is “no.” But another answer might be “yes.”

The End

I Work At McDonald’s

I don’t work at McDonald’s, but I plan on telling anyone I meet that I do. Quite frankly, I’m sick of explaining what eCommerce is. And I’m tired of laying out what an Email Operations Analyst does. This is not proper party conversation. I don’t want people to get whiplash while they look around the room for someone else to talk to.

Now, imagine this. A 28 year old tells you they work at McDonald’s. Oh, you think. As a manager. Nope, afraid not. I’m a floater. Oh, you say. You work the different stations around the McDonald’s? Sort of.

You see, I travel the country working at a different McDonald’s each week. It’s not a normal position, but I worked it out after I graduated from high school. Think of it as creating your own major in college. And my college is McDonald’s.

I travel from coast to coast, seeing what there is to see of America and meeting new and interesting people at every stop. In fact, this summer I plan to work my way down the Mississippi from Lake Itasca in Minnesota past the Mississippi Delta (which is actually an alluvial plain). Did you know that the McDonald’s in New Orleans sell a special secret Bouillabaisee?

Once I work up the savings, I’ll find my way over to Europe and serve golden fries to the old country. From Riga to Paris to whatever else is in Europe, I’ll be there to put a smile on their face.

Really, the ultimate goal is to make it onto the McDonald’s Olympic Champion Crew. To serve the athletes in the Olympic Village their favorite tasty McDonald’s treats. In a way, I’ll be winning my own gold metal right along with them.

I don’t work at McDonald’s. But, honestly, doesn’t it make for much better conversation?

The Poor SEO of Aric

I realized today that I have a terrible search engine ranking for “Aric.” And I would be sad about it, if this guy weren’t beating me so handily. Success!

Feel Better, Tylenol

Feel Better, TylenolOh no, you guys! Something is seriously wrong with our good friend, Tylenol! Not only did he lose his spot on the varsity football squad due to his poor academic performance, but he has spiraled into a deep depression after he and Cindy broke up! Not only that, but Tylenol’s parents totally took away his car for a month after they found weed in his jacket pocket. Also, he has the mumps.

Feel better, Tylenol.
