Aw man, Daedalus flying machines, here I come.

King Riptor

Who needs fucking blood cells? I'll be jumping hundreds of feet in the air with no issue!

Shanks

Do you suffer from Batman Jaw? You are not alone.

Thousands of mannish women succumb to Batman Jaw each year.

But now there's hope...

So I guess one or the other (or both) of the dudes have been trying conventional methods of weight loss and are unhappy with the results?

Maybe they should try Wii Fit. LOLOLOLOL. That was a joke. Nobody wants to play that crap.

Tuxedobird

Can't wait to read the blog post about this one...

Astraphobia

1500mg seems like a whole lot for a simple demarrowing.

This would have had a chance of being funny like six years ago, maybe.

PMAvers

They should've just tried Limbwhacker instead. Limbwhacker: Slims and Trims by Removing Limbs.

Order today, and we'll throw in a free tourniquet.

I’m uniquely immune to these products otherwise. I am not invested in my husk, so the idea that I should pay someone on television to elevate it somehow is preposterous. This is the cloud of insterstellar junk that happened to congregate around my consciousness; it’s functionally a waste product. I don’t want to improve it, I want it cleaned off. As I have suggested previously, I resent the entire notion of a body as an ante and then raise you a generalized dissatisfaction with physicality itself. I feel like that’s where most of the problems are situated! We gotta get on that. I can’t wait to see how we segregate ourselves when we’re formed of nothing but protons; that’s gonna be rad.

I thought Jerry had a personal trainer or something.

Or the Skeleton episode of Ray Bradbury Theater.

You sound fat.

Peter Ebel

I too cannot wait to be a cloud of dispersed, repelling particles. *snorts*

Except the few million people that bought it.
Yeah.

I think they saw a weight loss ad on TV and thought it was absurd( rightly so too since these things rarely work as advertised unless you torture yourself)

Ahh, but as a scale and a low-rent yoga DVD, it worked pretty well.

It's for people who are "just big boned".

Clearly Tycho was on marrolight in this comic.



It's the only explanation for that hand.

It appears Gabe switched ice cream brands sometime in the last year.

Aw, man. When I read Gabe's new post, I got all excited for new D&D adventures, Acquisitions Inc. or some other embodiment of their troupe. I'm not particularly aware of D&D and all it entails, so I didn't care about that talk, unfortunately. And I only listened to (or watched on YouTube, I don't recall) one of their live adventures, and it was bad. Too much awkward theatricality, no sense of adventure and obviously stripped of the intimacy of their podcasts.

I really hope that Gabe and Tycho, together with whomever they happen to invite, get to create another multiple hour, down to earth yet not too serious adventure for us.

Kevadu

Except the jerky machine; I would like to make my own jerky, from the meats I already own.

Dude, you don't need a machine to make jerky. I make jerky at home all the time, in the oven. Just set it to the lowest temperature that's still on (for most ovens that's around 175F or so). Cut your meat into thin strips, marinate in a variety of spices, and toss it in the oven for a few hours. Voila, jerky.

I love the specification for "your human skeleton"
