Attention: Dangerous Virus Spreading Quickly

Attention America: There is a dangerous infection that is spreading throughout the country, and possibly the world. Its symptoms include the desire to listen to MAN MAN constantly, feeling feverish at the mention of MAN MAN, and uncontrollable hand gestures as if you were playing instruments while listening to MAN MAN. It is not uncommon to sing loudly until you lose your voice, or drive all your friends away. This infection travels through the air into the ear canals, directly affecting your BRAIN. If you have been exposed to MAN MAN and have not experienced these symptoms, visit the doctor IMMEDIATELY as you are probably dead. There is no known cure, and some individuals have noticed more pronounced symptoms after seeing MAN MAN play live. In one case study, after seeing MAN MAN live in Atlanta, one man returned home and infected his sibling. She now feels compelled to see MAN MAN live in Orlando, October 26th, and is attempting to spread this illness to everyone she comes into contact with. The effects of prolonged infection are unknown and still under investigation. If you have been infected, please contact Sister-man immediately. If you are not infected, please contact Sister-man immediately or go to http://www.wearemanman.com/

Is flooding a good excuse?

So I have been working on a new comic post for a while, but I am such a procrastinator, and now school starts tomorrow, and I can't believe how lazy I've been! I was really sick for about a week and a half, which was sort of an excuse. It seems like there's always something going on. Tropical storm Fay came through this past week. We got 4 casual days in a row to . . . celebrate? I'm not really sure why they gave us extra casual days just because it was raining, but I enjoyed wearing jeans. Here is a picture of some mild flooding here where I live. The water in that picture is about a foot high, but it was really cause of poor drainage, as this was the only thing I saw like that in the whole town.

Horn

So, I was leaving my apartment this morning, and there were two vehicles stopped at the exit. One was a big white van, with a lot of construction workers and the other was a nice SUV. Apparently the SUV had hit the van. As I pulled up, I realized this and gave myself a couple of car lengths in between me and the SUV. Just as I am about to pull around the guy (they were blocking most of the exit) the SUV begins to back up . . . towards me. The guys from the van are pointing, and trying to tell the guy that my car is in the way. But, he continues to back up. I throw my car in reverse in time to not get hit. He continues to back up. And still, he backs up. So I honk the horn. He slams on his brake, gets out and begins to yell at me! He throws his hands in the air and screams "I didn't see you!". So I calmly roll down my window and say "I know, that's why I honked, so that you would see me." He angrily walks away, back to his car. I still can't figure out why he was mad at ME. I understand that he was distraught, but I helped him avoid a second wreck. I also spoke calmly. I mean, honking a horn is not the same as screaming an expletive. A horn honk is a warning. I was letting him know I was there, and that if he continued backing up, he would hit me. I'm sure he's calmed down now, but I can't help but wonder if he feels sorry for yelling at me. This man is obviously my neighbor or he wouldn't have been pulling out of my complex. Most likely, I'll see this man again. But odds are he won't even remember the entire confrontation.
