danaerisI recently received this email from an old friend of mine:
The first frame of today's Penny Arcade comic reminded me of you:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2005-4-11&res=l
so, who would be luigi? ;)
To explain the background of this, when I was at MIT I organized and participated in a few amateur strip shows. For my last performance, I danced to Closer to Mario in a slutty interpretation of the Mario costume. This was at Steer Roast (you DO want to look at the pictures there, btw. They are all technically work safe. Have I mentioned lately how cool my university dorm was?).
Anyway, apparently I need a Luigi to dance the naughty dance with me. So here is a poll for your amusement; please help me in the selection of my Luigi!
[Poll #472768]

On the other tangent.....
Date: 2005-04-13 10:35 pm (UTC)Yeah, so "blonde guy" (on the left, middle panel) is a jerk for not giving his friend an easily-dispensed clue, but "dark haired guy" is beyond jerkdom and firmly in asshole territory for responding with violence. Yet the dweebs over on the Penny Arcade fora think this strip is hilarious.
Am I the only reader that's disturbed by this? It's another example of "straight-boy is 'hit on' by gays and thus he freaks out in a violent manner". And this enraged reaction is not just okay, it's funny.
Nope.
