profiling at work.

Well I am like 5% black but the cop was all the way black.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

well also your car, with the tints. My dad is in Michigan and he's being raped by the police over a "speeding" ticket when the cop didn't have any proof of his speed. He suspects the cop got on him because he was driving a dirty (physically, not figuratively) car out of Detroit that had a noisy muffler.

was it a foreign car?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

nope, an early 90's ford escort.

Out of curiosity, why do you have a passport instead of a license? Does the passport convey driving privileges I don't know about?

Long story for another time!

J.Ro, you are purely sketch in so many ways that I can't even explain how awesome you are.

Why can't a 5% black man with a car full of unicorn t-shirts and green stuffed cats pull over to let a girl throw up without getting hassled come on

That is an awesome short version of the events in question. Definitely sounds legit, Jeff.

Man. Fuck tha police.

Surely you could have outrun the police in your TIE fighter...? This talk of black sports cars makes me feel like I've been lied to in comic form.

(Reply) (Thread)

The problem with TIE fighters is that they get tangled up in power lines and sink.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Also, they inexplicably fly directly into the path of lasers, every time.

Also, I think warp speed > however fast twin ion engines go

J, you must totally look like a drug dealer.

Still, you shouldn't ever consent to a search. Even my MD state trooper uncle says so. Glad it worked out though!

"It's hard enough to explain to a state trooper with severe short-man-complex..."
made me spray my screen.
whole-yolk is such a pit.

and i agree. i remember really liking the academy awards when i was in my pre-adolescence. but i just don't go out to the movies much at all anymore, and it's become one big "let's be reverent and mourn the deaths of people while trying to pretend this event is still fun and entertaining by hiring comedians to host!" snore-fest, IMO.

glad you had fun at the comic-con though, i know a handfull of people who attend, on either side of the tables, and everyone always has a blast :)

I can assure you that, at I-CON, we consider crawling under something soft and sinking into a shallow coma to be a right, not a privilege.

Excellent. I shall bring a pillow.

I am more surprised womans are allowed to be seen at these. ;)

(There was a Playmate signing pictures at NYCC ...... she looked a little dazed. I was in the same bathroom with her and I'm pretty sure she's short-bus material. )

I don't mean to judge anyone i've never met, but i've always thought that if you have to make your living having ppl look at you, then you're either really dumb, or really smart. :D

depending on how lazy you are? Also, when i was growing up, i was all nervous, becuase i didn't find those girls attractive. Then i realized that there were just other kinda woman i got my jonesing for. :D

Man you should totally have asked that cop to pose for a quick sketch.

Having Peter Mayhew and the word "fuzzy" in such close proximity resulted in a nanosecond of very excited brain activity...

also, i imagine the trooper being played by joe pesci for some reason. was it joe pesci?

(Reply) (Thread)

Black Joe Pesci?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

he's a.... good actor...

Cops in CT are all scumbags, it comes from the lack of having anything else to do, I think. I had a trooper scream at me over his loudspeaker one time, and I had absolutely no idea why. Still don't, but oh well.

That state sucks ass anyway. No serving alcohol after 12:30am is such a ridiculous rule.

(Reply) (Thread)

holyoke is in MA ;)
but i agree, no alcohol after 12:30 is completely ridiculous!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I recently found out that my friend is Peter Mayhew's like.. second cousin.. or something like that. Close enough to share a last name, anyway.

I was up in the autograph area after five, and there was something very sad about Gary Coleman sitting waiting for people to come and ask for his autograph...

Just waiting.

And waiting...

(Reply) (Thread)

Oh noooo I'm so pathetic. I felt sad thinking about it. I have a keenly developed "feel sorry for people" gland or something.

I loathe Holyoke

If you're going to be an interstate drug dealer, webcomic artist is a suitable cover job.

Duly noted.

Oh my, Jeffery Rowland, you trouble maker. This story is funny because I also make a goal of driving from the (upper) west side of NYC to around the same distance as you (except more towards Albany and less towards Northampton) in less than 3 hours. My top speed is about 2.5 hours, when no one was on the road and I was a speedin' madman. My slowest speed was 4.5 hours, when I was caught in traffic for forever-and-a-half because of some bus that caught on fire.

Sometimes I like to pretend I am 'racing my ghost' on the way to and from NYC, like in Mario Kart.

Anyway, be glad you didn't have any Weedmaster P related merchandise in plain sight in your car. That would be another fun one to explain to the cop!

Dude! A TIE Interceptor can TOTALLY go at warp speed! That's how Vader got back to the base on Hoth in time to steal a wookiee and then go back in time by slinshotting around the sun and giving birth to twins that he secretly replaced Amidala's true kids with in order to preserve the continuity of the timeline after the emperor saw his death in the Pools of Time and had the original kids implanted with genetic mutations. DUH!

Darth Vader totally had a TIE/Advanced fighter, which according to Wikipedia is also known as Darth Vader's TIE Fighter.

It's hard enough to explain to a state trooper with severe short-man-complex what my job is exactly and why I have a passport instead of a driver's license, and it's even harder to explain the $1000 in $20s in my front pocket.

The second part I can understand: you did sketches and sold merch at $20. But what's the story with the passport?

(Reply) (Thread)

It may be a long story for another time, but I swear to god, if the 5-0 stopped me while I was driving and I only had my passport? I'd stick around just long enough to say "Well, sir, the thing is" and then dissapear into the bushes to live with the Swamp Apes.
