On Wednesday, I had dinner with Vaucaunson's Duck and his father, Dr John.  This was something of an event, as it was the first time since 1986 that the three of us were in the same room at the same time.  Oh, don't get me wrong, I've hung out with Vauc many times since we graduated from high school, and I've visited with Dr John on more than a few occasions in the past 25 years, but never at the same time.  To say that the quips, barbs, vignettes and japes flowed freely... would be to understate the situation.  Drastically.  One or two blogpost ideas came out of the night as well, which was an unexpected bonus. 

But the high point of the night came from Dr John.  Vauc, myself and Dr J were sitting around the dinner table when the good Doctor mentioned that he'd been reading The Pond.  Certainly I knew this before, but it always gives me a little thrill when I hear it.  Indeed, at one point he watched a few episodes of Strike Witches because of this little collection of pixels and stupidity, which Vauc wasn't aware of previously.  The look on his face was priceless... anyway, back to the story.  Dr J said that one of his favorite parts of The Pond was "the acronym."

Huh?  "Yes, you know... NSFW.  It took me a while to figure out what it stood for, but..."  Cue guffaws and general amusement.  After I could breathe again, I mused that The Pond has been pretty clean for awhile.  "You have, and as a reader I'd like to lodge a formal request."  Cue more guffaws.

Okay Dr John, here you go... just click "more."

Very strange little show, but fascinating for all of that.  Not the picture I wanted to use, but I couldn't find the shot of Tsubasa Cat I was looking for.  Not that I think anybody will be complaining...

All across the internet, otaku just had a mass nosebleed.  Non-otaku, on the other hand, are wondering why a bowl of rice could be considered NSFW...

High school seems so long ago.  Hell, high school was so long ago. 




-High School of the Dead, Ep06
Please note that these two are the least busty of the female characters in the show.  If you can get past the ridiculous level of fanservice (and character designs) though, you'll discover one helluva good zombie apocalypse series here.  I suppose you could call it a horror series; zombies don't do comedy well after all (they only have one punchline: braaaaaainnnnssss!).  But it's really not that type of show.  Don't get me wrong, Episode 01 hits all the right terror buttons.  After that though, the zombies become more of an obstacle than a frightening force.  It becomes more of a war movie, with a band of survivors learning about what they can (and can't) do.  Highly recommended!

What?!?!  To certain people, that picture is as much pr0n as anything else in this post!


Dr John, your request has been answered!
