following your cue, this was my first hit:

(erm... do guys really have these thoughts? [qualifying statement: not re. nipple kissing in general but re. saying it to parents] no. don't answer that.)

I found this comic a while back and now I look forward to getting out of bed and checking my blogs on mon-wed-fri. Make sure you hover over the comic to see the alt. text - sometimes that's the best part.

Ha, so strange, both your feed and xkcd's feed are in the same subfolder "funny" in my feed reader (actually they're the only two in there).

xkcd is truly the best webcomic out there. sinfest gets close so be sure to check that one out too if you haven't already. www.sinfest.net

I bonded with a co-worker a while back over his 'xkcd' hoodie, and a great friendship started up.

I <3 xkcd.

I like these comics. Thanks for the link.

Ze. Why are you telling me things I already know? Is it to remind how awesome I am?

Actually, the best part is when he mentions something obscure in his comic and people go search for it on the net.

I remember a cluster of people ending up on youtube watching the lumberjack song at the same time after it appeared in his comic.

Thinking about his awesome power gives me a funny feeling in my tummy.

How have I been reading xkcd all this time and never noticed the alt. text? Thanks for the tip!

I always feels smart when you post something I already found.

xkcd is hugely popular where I work, a physics dept. of a large university.
pretty much required reading if you're a physics dork like me.

Ingrid: yes actually they do...or at least I do...

On of the best comics on the internet.

One of the best webcomics out there. :D

Joe: ah. you're killing me. it's even worse than when a boyfriend told me he thought my mom was sexy.

Ze, sorry but this is quite a low point for you.

Not because xkcd is bad, because it's not, but because a net-elitist such as you should probably know such sites as xkcd before they even exist.

it's like indie whores and bands.

Ze, if you and Randall got together you could take over the internets.
