I bought a box of Bazooka Joe bubble gum today and I am very, very, very happy to report that although they have revamped Bazooka Joe's group of friends to be a bit more modern it hasn't lost a few key elements. Namely? It still has comics with little fortunes on them. Beyond that the fortunes are still borderline insane (example- "It's a dog-eat-dog world, unless you find something better to eat"...what?) and the comics very rarely have anything approaching a real punchline. It is great. If I had the time I would totally film a documentary about the person who writes and draws these comics. It essentially follows one formula-

Frame 1: Somebody asks Bazooka Joe (how old is he? why does he have an eyepatch?) some random question no person would ever ask another person and Bazooka Joe answers vaguely.

Frame 2: Closeup on person who asked the question and they are all like "What could he possibly mean?" or "Are you talking about your dog?"

Frame 3: The dog is saying something almost wholly unrelated to what is going on in frames 1 and 2. Either that or a closeup of Bazooka Joe saying something really insanely obvious.

I want to wallpaper my new office with Bazooka Joe comics. In no way am I kidding about that.

BLOGS! Today we only have 1. But it is from Leo so it is worth at least two. His specialty is making cheaper versions of things that already exist so you can have finer luxuries such as couches or Halloween when you are broke. Today he tackles "sauce."

So, uh...am I missing some news or something? Or like, is this just some inside lingo for the drums or whatever. But what are you talking about "noise pad"?

Ditto. I too want to know what the "noise pad" is.

Noise pad, bachelor pad, details, details, details. What's the difference?

Harmonix moved this week.

Bah, in a forum of a game of music, rock, and noise, what else are you gonna expect?

Great, the daily blog, I've been waiting for this. That marinades sounds good, similar to something my dad often does on his steaks, I might try to do something like it next time I BBQ.

I'll be looking forward to seeing how the new place looks.

I love Bazooka Joe, I haven't had it in forever though, I find that the gum is not half as good as the comics it is wrapped in though.
