Kyle linked to PA Remix, a bunch of Penny Arcades re-scripted by Japanese high schoolers. Some of them are okay, some are great, but by far my two favorites are the day job and the announcement.

Difficult to believe as it is, Acid Zen Wonder Paint has been a scourge on this planet for fully a year now. And as we all know, if you do it for a year, That Makes It Official©.
Coagulations, Stephen!
Hey, I just noticed that today is my red hat’s first birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RED HAT!
Really ought to wash that hat, actually.
A Special Legacy of Violence and Pain
Yeah, remember Short Bus? The comic where I used to rip off Penny Arcade jokes and print them in the newspaper? Apparently it was the best comic strip for colleges with under 5000 students in Kentucky last year. Who knew?
It’s nice to have the validation, except that I know nothing about the competition or stakes in KIPA Division B. I may well have been the only entry. Also, this only drives back into my head the fact that I never draw comics anymore, dammit.
This is Kentucky
“I had never seen something so corrupt and lawless in my entire career … interference with a federal investigation of the most serious environmental disaster in the history of the Eastern United States.”
I have a friend who’s from Inez originally, and I remember talking to him over IM when the spills happened in 2000 (we were home on fall break at the time). He took some pictures of water in the area; I’ll have to ask if I can post some of those, if he still has them.

| Doctor Unheimlich has diagnosed me with Brendan’s Disorder |
|
| Cause: | poor dental hygiene |
| Symptoms: | excessive hand numbness, vertigo, American accent, slightly squeaky voice |
| Cure: | drink more tea |
See, it’s funny because I actually have a casual acquaintance with Dr. Unheimlich, and (I assume) he knows I have an American accent. Darn you, Dr. Unheimlich!

“In March, Awards World magazine sponsored the inaugural ‘Awards Awards’ at London’s Dorchester Hotel, handing out awards to members of the British awards-presentation industry for the year’s best awards shows. Spokesperson Barbara Buchanan explained, ‘Everybody likes to win an award,’ even the people who give out awards (who staged ceremonies for about 1,000 major presentations in Britain last year). Although Buchanan called this year’s program a success, she said it is disqualified from receiving any awards at next year’s Awards Awards. [BBC News, 3-5-04]”
Good thing, too, or the whole system could go critical. Metacritical!
Maria took me to the Louisville Science Center. It’s been probably like a decade since I’ve been there, even though I now live within a mile of it, and it was pretty cool to go back. The rumor is true–the magnificent woolly mammoth that used to occupy the entrance is gone, as are the mummies. The two polar bears are still there, though, hidden in the back of the second floor. Rarr! I’m a polar bear!
