I could use one of these things for all the stuff I keep losing. Actually no, I'd probably lose it too.Β

Do like I do with my keys and attach it to your belt loop...
That way, I can't lose my keys without losing my pants, which I'm glad to report tends to not happen...

Β Belts huh? I've always wondered how men manage without purses. Except for men who wear dishdashas, I don't worry about them since dishdashas have very large pockets.Β

Well, I'm... abnormal. Most guys don't have to tie their keys to them; I'm just really bad at losing things like that...
But, for things other than keys, pockets are definitely the thing. I've got a pair of cargo pants with... one... two... six. Six pockets. That's really more than I need, honestly.
You also have to consider the fact that gals tend to carry around more with them than guys do. Most guys just carry their keys and wallet. Oh, and cell phone, too; I tend to forget that 'cause I don't have one. In fact, I don't even use a wallet; I just carry my money and ID in my pocket. I've had wallets in the past, and like with keys, I have a tendency to lose them... These days I only carry money if I intend to buy something, or my license if I'm driving somewhere.
Like I said... I'm not a good example...

Β I don't know if you were aware of it, but a few years back those tiny purses that barely carry anything were in style. Most of my girl friends actually managed to fit their stuff in an area as big as a typical male pocket (one or two had to actually just hold their phones, which I rolled my eyes at very hard). You see, the problem is that girl pockets are very, very tiny. A lot of my pockets are actually fake. They're just stitched to look like pockets, it's all lies!

I never understood the fake pocket thing. If you want it to look like you have a pocket, why not have an actual pocket? You get all the same aesthetics with the added benefit of a functional pocket. I've noticed a lot of women's clothing tends to be form over function, or even form to the exclusion of function. You can't convince me high-heels are a good idea. How's walking like that good for you?
Fashion's okay, I suppose, but I've always respected gals that just decide what they like and stick with it, and don't need some hoity-toity French designer or catalogue model to tell them what to like. Jeans and a t-shirt, to me, will always be more attractive than the newest, fanciest thing.
Also, I don't remember any tiny-purse phase... maybe it didn't make it to my neck of the woods. In fact, most of the girls I know have huge "parachute" purses about half the size of a duffel bag. I guess we're all just generally more practical here in Texas... I do remember, though, back when I was in high school, there was this phase where all the girls had these gaudy sequined purses like this that looked like somebody popped a disco ball and put straps on it. It was awful...
It reminds me of an episode of Pinky and the Brain, "Calvin Brain", where Brain delivers this rant:
"No, Pinky, I mean you've fallen victim to the fashion industry.
They make these ridiculous pronouncements about what's hot and what's not.
And people run out and spend their hard-earned money on things they don't really need.
It's all hokum and flim-jammery!"
"But, Brain..."
"Throw away all this fashion junk!"
"Brain, the perfume..."
"The perfume is just a hoax, Pinky.
Fashion is meaningless.
For all I care, you can wear clown pants!!"

Β I agree. Clothes are great, and putting together pleasing color schemes (while being comfortable in them of course) is one of my favorite things. Getting complimented on them is also one of my favorite things, it's nice for the self-esteem. But thisΒ haute couture nonsense brings about this annoying self-righteous side of myself that I do not like. A tiny rage monsters goes Β "do you know how many starving families you could have saved instead of buying that purse?!?". Judgmental, I know, I'm working on that.Β

Well, having never actually seen you, it's kind of hard to say; but from what you've said before I gather that you're the type to just do your own thing for the most part. You shouldn't beat yourself up too much for a slip now and then. I must imagine, too, that having someone compliment your outfit is far more gratifying when it's something you did yourself, than it would be if you were just following a fad. It's more of a personal compliment about you and something you did. I also imagine, being an artistical type with your eye for aesthetics, that you probably do a pretty good job of it too.
Sometimes I'm glad the only thing I have to worry about is throwing on a shirt and pants and have that be it.

I think Calamity said it best here, though you can't knock the Prof's enthusiasm. Great comic to mark the occasion, hope your Easter was a good one.

The Professor has a penchant for using "Science!" to make simple things "easier"... Which usually involves complexities that take waaay more time and effort than it would take to just do whatever it is in the first place...
It's like how they say, "when you've got a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail"; when you're an inventor, everything starts looking like an excuse to Rube Goldberg something up...
And thanks, my Easter was a good one. I hope yours was as well.

Thank you very much.
It's funny you say that, because this was actually an older comic I had sitting in a pile that I scanned and updated/re-did. My designs have gotten much better since then, and it was kind of time-warpy to do...

CalamityKangaroo In reply to David31 [2016-03-29 13:00:59 +0000 UTC]
Chocolate ones, sure; not necessarily real ones...
We usually ate them afterward at my house, though. No sense in wasting them, after all.
Did you know that in Mexico they actually drill a small hole in the eggs and drain them, and then fill them with confetti? It's very festive...

I did not know that, thanks for the info.
Well I can't imagine any other egg, apart from edible ones, unless the Prof. makes some out of carving stones or something and then painting them bright colours?
