So much has happened with Kevin Smith since that article. The movie it initially mentions as then being planned as his last (Hit Somebody) transitioned development into a miniseries (which I haven’t heard him mention on his podcasts in a while, so who knows), then he wrote Clerks 3, then there was a whole slew of hurdles to get that green lit (primarily getting the cast to come back and getting Miramax to decide if they wanted to make it or if they’d let Kevin make it himself since they had a contractual first dibs setup from making Clerks 2), then he wrote the recently released “Tusk” (which delayed the aforementioned Clerks 3), THEN there was a Christmas-themed horror anthology movie centered around the krampus (which I guess is still in the works?), and “Yoga Hosers”, and “Moose Jaws”… and some TV pilots as well. Dude’s been super busy lately, but his attention span isn’t the greatest.

He apparently made Tusk to raise money for Clerks 3.
‘He femurs’? Is that like ‘He demurs’? (Then again, is there any instance where you’d use that particular verb in the third-person singular present tense?)
It reminds me of a very old Yiddish song involving misplaced modifiers:
Boris sat upon a horse, sagging in the middle
Boris sat upon a horse, playin’ on the fiddle
It was Boris, not the horse, sagging in the middle
It was the horse, not Boris, playin’ on the fiddle.
(Boris, Boris, save me save me, from the Cossacks at my heels, hey! hey! hey! / Boris, Boris, save me save me, there are only two more reels…)
On the other hand it’s been interesting to see a VERY different Joyce recently. She would never have forced an entrance like this. And she DEFINITELY would never have done this before. Let’s just say, a Mike/Joyce ship is actually POSSIBLE in the future, it’s just not a future anyone would want to live in…
Oh dear — I seem to have ended up on board this ship by accident. But now that I’m here, I think I want to stay on . . . So, where’s the good ship Joke (or is that Mice?) going to take me???
As a masochistic acquaintance of mine once remarked, you can always identify the masochist in an S&M couple by which one says the most things deserving of pain.
It’s was weird , she thought the bear was some chick named Ruth and she tried to make out with it, the bear was confused for a moment and it all just went down hill after that.

Phone was bear.

SOMETIMES BEAR IS DRUNK. BEAR HAS HAD HARD TIME OF IT. BUT BEAR IS GETTING BETTER ONE DAY AT TIME. BEAR REALLY TURNING LIFE AROUND.

It’s not like some of that story wasn’t true.

Alt text = “Once a bear drunkenly mauled me in my pyjamas”.
OK, two questions…why was a bear drunk and what on earth was it doing wearing Willis’ pyjamas? o_O
JCfromNC
How he got in my pajamas I’ll never know.
Tunaro
I can think of worse ways to die than drunkenly wrestling a bear.
Cephalo the Pod
If I’m gonna die drunk, I’m gonna light me a torch and blow in the face of my enemy. It probably won’t work, but at that point, it can’t hurt to try.

It’s in my top 3. Has been for a few years, actually.

She just died in the mama bear’s arms tonight.
(It must have been something she said.)
Deanatay
It musta been some kind of lesbian interspecies drunken kiss.
I should’ve Walky’d away… I should’ve Walky’d away!
Doctor_Who
Well, Billie was drunk first, but she’s like 40% ethanol by volume, so eating her got the bear drunk too.
…Maybe Billie shouldn’t be roomed with a smoker.
Kernanator
Are you saying that Billie’s breath is combustible?
Doctor_Who
I think Billie herself is probably pretty combustible.
LeslieBean4Shizzle
According to Game Theory, you are correct – people who drink often and in excess are more likely to spontaneously combust.

Mike doesn’t need his shins to live, just he femurs.

‘He femurs’? Is that like ‘He demurs’? (Then again, is there any instance where you’d use that particular verb in the third-person singular present tense?)

I should have said his femurs, I guess I had a small brain fart when I wrote that part.

I checked the comments for this, too.

Guys. I’m kinda shipping Joyce/Mike. Somebody stop me.

She won’t be able to change him. Nor he her. Ship only if you live for tragedy.

It’s a David Willis comic. All ships end in tragedy.

Why do you think I call the Joyce/Mike ship Joke?

Not Mice?

For once I’m actually on board for a random ship.( pun not included)

On the one hand, NO.

You’ve convinced me good cephalopod. I will only ship them in the alternate universe wherein Mike has a goatee and Joyce has gone evil.

NO! you will continue damnit!! this ship is too horribly amazing not to launch!!

Mike’s not a fan of his shins, but he is a fan of gratuitous violence inflicted on his person, it seems.
