yuk yuk yuk

This is quite funny. I'm mentioned in today's comic from Goats.com. I hadn't heard of goats until about ten minutes ago, but I went back to the beginning of the story arc, I laughed out loud.

So check it out. Unless you don't like to laugh. Then you should grab your nuts and say to your nearest buddy, "Hey, I sat in some gum!" If that doesn't get you laughing, I don't know what will. (Yes, I realize that this advice won't work for the ladies . . . so you should just . . . uhm . . . line up to the left for make outs.)

Hey! Look! I sat in some gum!

I hand out gum to all the ladies. They still need help when they get stuck. I don't mind. . .someone has to take on the responsibility. It's the nice thing to do. Right?

Right?

Hee hee - you ARE so cute, like a puppy! Do your parents accept Paypal?

You are seriously hilarious, Wil! I was watching a REALLY old interview of yours that I have on tape (Into the Night with Rick Dees) where you were going to make a "big announcement," and you came out and said you were carrying George Bush's love child! I rolled on the floor and my husband came in to see what was wrong with me. There aren't enough WORDS to describe what is wrong with me. But you had something to do with it!

Posted by: Natalie at January 2, 2004 10:36 AM

Pure comedy gold.

Also, good call on lining up the women for makeouts. Will they be making out with you or with each other? Heh.

Posted by: Kat at January 2, 2004 10:47 AM

I carry cash. Unmarked, non-sequential bills. I have a fence in LA named Redfoot, I'm sure he'll help work something out.

Posted by: Chris @ TFN at January 2, 2004 10:48 AM

goats rocks! I've been reading it for a few years now... I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw todays! This is about the coolest kind of fame, IMHO... Congradulations! :)

Read the archives too, Jon and Phillip are total beer geeks...

Posted by: netochka at January 2, 2004 11:10 AM

Yay! I'm glad my e-mail (and probably others) made it to you to show you your newfound webcomicky fame...

Posted by: Ryan Waddell at January 2, 2004 11:20 AM

It's as if Cartman turned into a fowl mouthed (pun intended) chicken!

Posted by: angela peterson at January 2, 2004 11:25 AM

i loved the goats site, thanks for that! dead funny!!

Posted by: jealoustwin at January 2, 2004 11:27 AM

Natalie,were you really rolling on the floor? Do people really do that? Or is "I was rolling on the floor with laughter" just a tired overused expression? I mean, Wil is funny but to roll on the floor with laughter...

Posted by: Mr.Sandwiches at January 2, 2004 11:29 AM

Where the hell did the gum thing come from? It's funny nonetheless but...confusing.

Posted by: Michael Hartman at January 2, 2004 11:42 AM

"Blogger kid" - cool.

Maybe your wife would accept the personal cheque.

Doh!

Posted by: synchronicity at January 2, 2004 11:47 AM

Ahhh, I love goats.com

Posted by: Adelaide at January 2, 2004 12:01 PM

Happy Gnu Year, Wil!

I hope this year is even better for you than last year.

I remembered your posts about your IBook problems when I read about a potential class-action lawsuit in the early formative stages from angry IBook users. There are also folks eager to take their anger and activism to Macworld.

Thought you might want to know. Apologies if this is an inappropriate forum to pass the info along. If you want URLs with more info, email me and I'll send to you.

Posted by: Bill B. at January 2, 2004 12:05 PM

ps, Wil, you'll always be an "ugly bag of mostly water" to me.

(among the best lines in TNG, even if it was spoken by a malevolent crystal)

Posted by: synchronicity at January 2, 2004 12:14 PM

Haha! ...like a puppy! Funny. I needed a good laugh!

Posted by: alexa at January 2, 2004 12:16 PM

hey at least your the bloger kid from star trek and not the fat kid from stand by me!

Posted by: hammiepie at January 2, 2004 12:35 PM

Incidentally, google "ugly bag of mostly water" - I had no idea that this was a catch-phrase of Seinfeldian proportions. I wonder if there are any others? Uh, yes, "Engage", "Make it so" ... (ooh, good soapbox thread...)

Posted by: synchronicity at January 2, 2004 12:38 PM

For one horrible moment I thought that said "goatse".

Posted by: ionicus at January 2, 2004 01:03 PM

Hammiepie says, "hey at least your the bloger kid from star trek and not the fat kid from stand by me!"

Hey! I happen to love that "fat kid from Stand By Me!" ;)

Posted by: Natalie at January 2, 2004 02:23 PM

*laughs*

I laughed.

I'm a chick.

I didn't hold any balls.

Can I still have some gum?

By the way, did you see "I Love the 80's Strikes Back: 1986?" It was beautiful.
*sniffle*
Yeah, they made comments about the so-called fat kid and one of the Corey's, but hey.
You were on there, Wil!

Posted by: Marie at January 2, 2004 06:02 PM

Kinda cute, like a puppy.. hey, you got a rap! Lol, very funny!
Lis :)

Posted by: Lis at January 2, 2004 06:53 PM

I just have to ask Wil. Did you mean to make a Strong Bad reference? It certainly sounded like one to me.

Posted by: Sean at January 2, 2004 07:07 PM

Aww, like a puppy! Heh. That's awesome, Wil, being in a comic strip.

The whole gum thing didn't quite work out for me (damn not being anatomically eligible for it), but ...

*lines up to the left*

Posted by: Elyse at January 2, 2004 07:10 PM

Watching Wil on an old Star Trek episode, reading his blog, and reading Goats comic strips that relate to him.

Nope, I'm not a fan. Not at all.

Posted by: Babs at January 2, 2004 08:23 PM

Goats is a great strip. I think the main character is based off a friend of mine from IRC.

Very amusing..

Posted by: Gravity at January 3, 2004 08:02 AM

"Wil, we're glad you enjoyed the strip. Just the other day, I saw that episode where you get drunk and take over the Enterprise. So, so sweet."

Agreed. Last night, i spotted you on Spike TV. It was the one where you failed your Academy Entrance Exam, but Patrick Stewart made you feel better.

congrats on the comic fame. a whole new world of dorks has just opened up for you : P

Posted by: Ana at January 3, 2004 11:26 AM

.....can't.....believe.....Wil NEVER.....READ....www.goats.com before!!! I've been wanting a Republicans for Voldemort babydoll t-shirt for quite some time now.... I'll hafta get one before the big election!

Posted by: Nicci at January 3, 2004 05:32 PM

Cute just like a puppy...must agree with it. Read some of the others and they were pretty cute too.

The gum thing confuses me though, so I'll just line up to the left.

*Star*

Posted by: Star at January 4, 2004 02:07 AM

Oh. Uh. Hey, Wil. I meant to tell you. You were in Goats. :)
I mean... if someone else already told ya, that's cool...

;)

Posted by: Maggie at January 4, 2004 08:34 AM

I don't know if Jon IRCs, but I can tell you that the main character is based on someone I drink heavily with on a regular basis. He also draws the strip. The other main character is also based on a guy we drink heavily with... he's also the strip's webmaster.

Plus, we drink heavily. Did I mention the heavy drinking?

As for Wil, well... anybody who's made out with Ashley Judd is okay in my book. "Leffler...? But I hardly know her!"

Thank you... I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress.

Posted by: Beeeej at January 4, 2004 09:03 PM

I can only express how very very happy that you've come upon goats. And hey. At least you're not Scott Baio
( http://goats.com/archive/980630.html ) .

And it's let me stumble upon your site, which makes me crazy happy. You've become that much cooler.

We still have fantasies about you. Nummy.

Posted by: Eddie Money at January 4, 2004 09:44 PM

You people do know who that person was at the end of the comic strip right? The man with the white glove and red jacket? I ask because no one has mention MJ's name in the comment's yet which is odd. (I didn't carefully read each comment so I could be wrong). lol But yes, I laughed out loud too! Very funny. :)

~Kristie

Posted by: Kristie at January 5, 2004 01:32 AM

I know Jon and Phillip (the GOATS creators) and I'm fairly sure the characters aren't based on anyone from IRC. Unless you mean the goat or the chicken. I can't vouch for them. I think they're just demented brainchildren of drunken business students-turned-cartoonists.

Yay for Wil.

Blerg.

Posted by: A. Campling at January 5, 2004 05:02 AM

I don't think the end of the comic strip needs explaining any further!

My respect for Wil started with the Anne Robinson* bashing on The Weakest Link. Great site, BTW. Oh, and buy a Goats t-shirt.

Regards,

A regular Goats reader.
