Worse! He gave Santa flippers instead of hands! (Yes. I know those are mittens. I’ve always felt that Santa was more of a gloves person.)

Can we get a collection book of EL strips where something/someone has died and call it “100 Worst Ways to Die”?

Wait… Did you give him three fingers on purpose? D: How does he play videogames?

Everyone kill Icesnake!
Okay. Now that we’ve all stood up for Scott who’s taller than most of us anyway and doesn’t need no nobody no how to stand up for him no way (not that a little rallying doesn’t do no harm either), DRM will not go away until they get something akin to the VHS copy-protection in regards to digital media — mildly annoying enough to keep people from bothering to copying commercial stuff for free use but not restricting them to specific devices.
…
I’ve tried to think how they might do that, but it’s either all or nothing. Digital just isn’t analog. It either is or isn’t. 1 or 0. It’s absolute. There’s no grey area.

I’ve never heard that expression, “brass tacks” (or “brass tax” for that matter). I was wondering what it meant til Icesnake so kindly provided that wordorigin link. But i second that he pointed that out in a rather insulting and grammer nazi type way.

In case you want to take a poke at me… -_-

Yes, I know what Godwin’s Law is, and no, it does not apply here.

@Scott

You go Scott! It’s your site. You can dictate what the new catchphrases are, such as “Don’t be an Icesnake.”

It’s “brass tacks,” Scott. But I understand you’re a product of the American public school system, so your inability to correlate the written word with the verbal goulash you’ve been exposed to all your life is perfectly understandable.
