I made an account JUST to say that this is awesome.

Best reason I heard so far.

Because damn, it IS awesome.

Here's a comic about some of the worst pickup lines I can imagine. Enjoy!

As a general piece of advice, don't use memes until the 2nd date.

By the way, "Bangarang, motherfucker" looks like it could become a mini-meme on this thread. And by the quantum nature of what I'm writing, it probably already has.

: Of course, this depends on your pronunciation of "mu". A cow suddenly appearing in one's office would be significantly less distracting.

...that says "bangarang"? I thought it said "bargaining".

I'd like to make a SW that says chair rotation to productivity is a cosine relation. Hahaha.

Should be cosine squared, otherwise you undo work when you've got your back to your desk.

I guess you're right, the coefficient of friction of a cat, when used as a desk chair, would be pretty high.

Well, yes, but that's kind of the joke.

after doing a few SW strips I was inspired to make a wallpaper..

here it is (wide screen)

Spoiler:

It keeps getting bigger and bigger... I'll probably stop updating it when I will have no more room for the 9-10 icons I keep on my desktop.

P.S.
for some reason a lot of the new stips on XKCDSW.com are not displaying images..

by **Felstaff** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 8:12 pm UTC

I think that's excellent.

by **Microscopic cog** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 8:17 pm UTC

Amazing wallpaper.

I'd add some lines like "Bangarang motherfucker" and so on, if I wasn't afraid of completely ruining it because my only experience with adapting pictures is well.. none.

by **Magnanimous** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 9:12 pm UTC

That's... beautiful.

by **The Scyphozoa** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 11:34 pm UTC

In response to the reversal of the order of the one-liners...

I was going to make one that just moved the "Bangarang" one to the left side and leave the others in order, but I guess that idea's already been sort of explored.

by **Vaskafdt** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 4:03 am UTC

Hmm.. I think I'll skip adding bangarang to the wallpaper.. not one of my favorite one-liners (I know I'm a vast minority).. I'll add it to a SW strip instead

Hahahaha, nevermind what I said. That one is hilarious.

Giant Speck -- that... is... AWESOME.

In the spirit of bangarang...

Spoiler:

Also I love that wallpaper.

by **e^iπ+1=0** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 9:56 pm UTC

Yeah, the wallpaper is amazing!

/me is currently using it

by **Magnanimous** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 10:05 pm UTC

I can't decide if the wallpaper needs Hitler's face from the Vista comic. (Also, I love how Gandalf's looking at the chalkboard of equations.)

well.. I don't really want Hitler staring at me from my desktop.. but that's just me and my silly sensitivity.

Vista stares at me from my desktop every day at work. :cry:

my windows 7 install is stuck on expanding windows files (0%)...
I left it overnight and nothing...

I suppose it is better then vista, but it's damn frustrating

my first attempt at 7.... And this is what I get

nope.. I'm not looking for help.. just to input that a non working Windows 7 installation is better then Vista.. following Giant Speck's commentary...

I was referring to Antimony-120's post. Seems to me like he meant to post in the thread necromancy game thread, especially considering it's identical to the most recent post there.
