Well, the alt text does say "needs more practise"...

@Felstaff, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Unfortunately, I left my wallet in my pants.

Because everyone could use Further Boomerang difficulties, and this is How it works.

I think it's something about the way boomerang is in tiny writing, but I'm laughing really hard now, and I can't seem to stop.

Wow, you suck at boomerang.
Wow, girls suck at boomerang.

Why is this making me laugh so hard? Perhaps it's because I read boomerang with such a detached, quiet voice. I'm at work and people are asking what's so funny?

I see it as something like this...
"Wow, you suck at..
*looks both ways, cautiously*
...boomerang"

As if, perhaps, this particular strip was set in some kind of dystopian future where all forms of fun are heavily regulated, and some of the lesser australian sports are simply forbidden.

This is exactly it, yes. As if Boomerang has become a taboo, and must be whispered in hushed, conspiratorial tones. It is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. Today.

Felstaff's avatar is wrong.

I like the poor grammar in "Wow, you suck at boomerang." It sounds like engrish.

The strip made me laugh, but these quotes made me snort...

If you use bablefish to translate the original to japanese then back to english, you get:

panel 2: And before being like your fingertip, there is no pliability

Perhaps, but Engrish doesn't work like that much of the time. Most of the examples on the site are causes by interplacing R's and L's

Well, somebody had to do it. From yesterday's (526)

Edit: Changed it so it says "ft/s" instead of "fps" ;-)

Yay! That might actually be useful.

Edit: It took a while for me to realize that you didn't mean "frames per second".

possibly should have been ft/s? It's a tricky business to decide when you should use a p and when a /, like mph vs km/h

The key to image comparison:

1. open gimp
2. load first image
3. drag-and-drop second image into first
4. open layer dialog (Dialogs|Layers)
5. set layer mode of the upper layer to "difference", "subtract", or "grain extract".
