Thanks for enjoying my silly comic strip of idiotic trivia! Thanks mostly to Imgur, I'm up to about 850 followers on the Instagram account where I post this nonsense. I also post on Webtoons and Twitter. I'm closing in on my one hundredth strip soon (I posted strip # 94 on Friday!) okay bye :D

#7 the JANET terminal is on the North West corner of McCarran Airport on Haven (near the Mandalay Bay Hotel)

I heard somewhere that JANET is "Just ANother Empty Terminal". Probably a backronym, but a little funny, at least.

It genuinely stands for "just another non-existent transport"

At the time, in New York (city) it is estimated they were having to remove 2.5 million pounds of manure per day. It all has to go somewhere.

#4 why they so mad about the tour de France? Seems an odd and mean spirited comparison?

Does that make any of it less true?

Odd comparison still. Not defending TdF but English channel is only 21 miles compared to 2100 for TdF. Apple's and oranges

Wait didn't someone get all of their awards taken for drug use, despite the claim that that drug use was for an unrelated medical issue?

Up till the mid-60s doping was not only legal but encouraged, to the point that the Tour organizers had to make it clear that the teams >

we're responsible for bringing their own drugs; that wasn't part of the organization-provided support.

I remember an interview with Britain’s Tommy Simpson in the 60s when he openly showed the drugs he took, he died not long after

'Twas actually his passing that really got the anti-doping ball rolling, but 60+ years of sex, drugs, n cycling die hard

That is correct, I thought you being a cycling fan you would know his story

I combined "Is the pope catholic?" & "Does a bear shit in the woods?" to create "Does the pope shit in the woods?" and I use it constantly.

Pretty sure that originated from the comic "

I actually use that a lot. I run mock audits so I deliver news that will anger departments (I bring "change" which is the foulest of ideas)

It's one of the listed malapropers that has a meaning which is actually useful; in this case, "we're going to fuck it up when it happens." 1

Yeah it's a favorite of mine whenever someone asks me to do stuff when I'm really busy and they immediately get the message

"Either do it yourself or I may fuck it up so next time you'll do it instead of asking me when I'm too busy"

Stop beating off your dead horse.

Personal side note, I reserve the term malaphor for the ones that don't work, mixed-metaphor is more appropriate for the one's that do.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

There is no horse too dead to beat

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Wait, isn't high and dead kinda exclusive ?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Don't see why it would be, a tall horse is still technically tall even when it's slumped on the ground.
