Problems With Labor Part 1
Hey there all you faithful, possibly annoyed, Normalinauts. Yes, we’ve been going through ever more growing pains this week, not the least of which was, as the comic indicates, totally out of our control. The epic conclusion to this titanic clash of the bourgeoisie ruling class (Gilgrim and I) and the proletariat masses (Coding Goblins Local 283) will commence in seven days time.
And lo, how will Exsulis fare, being caught betwixt the might of two such irresistible forces (or immovable objects, as the case may be)? Well, tune in next week week friends and find out!
Continuing on the trend of causing our readers pain, the newest version of Comicpress was installed today and, keeping with this weeks theme, is causing problems. Many have been fixed, many have not, many have yet to be discovered.
Our initial opinion, however, is that this will be a much greater improvement over the long run, and hopefully continue our trend of enhancing your NR experience.
Remember how, once, we mentioned something about how we were working on the greatest thing you would ever experience? Maybe we didn’t use those words exactly, but it was something like that. Anyway, expect some actual developments in that area in the near future.
Until then, enjoy the long weekend

Well, as some may have noticed we hemorrhaged under the “Gobbo-American” strain this morning but I think we pulled it together well enough to give you this!!!
As for Demands 619 to 628 which are kinda blocked well our “BFH” got in the way so here they are:
Demand 624: No more Folgers.
Demand 625: Install proper electrical lighting in the coding dungeon,
the oil lamps and flaming torches wreak havoc on goblin sinuses.
Demand 626: Biting a co-worker will not be considered harassment.
Demand 627: Management will provide acceptable cages and/or manacles
or some other type of restraining devices for the goblins to store
lunch items.
Demand 628: Adorning one’s cubicle with the blood of fallen foes will
be properly accepted as the religious expression it is.

Classy. I like the fact that Exsulis has some armor to better deal with the gobbos.

And look if you know, have used, or have even noticed that gravatar.com exists then you can upload a nice little image to it, and bam you’ve got one here as well.
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I did notice. Alas, I have no cool avatar image to upload, yet.
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:51 pm
But will they show up in the posts as well?
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Good question, my guess would be a big fat no.
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Here is the first list of demands…
Demand 617: Fridays will now officially be “Popcorn Day.”
Demand 618: At least once every calendar year management will provide to the goblins one 17 year old virgin they can sacrifice to their dark, heathen gods.
Demand 619: From this point forward, the workers will be referred to as “Gobbo-Americans.”
Demand 620: Between 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm of every afternoon will be set aside for Mel Torme sing alongs.
Demand 621: The company will pay league fees for the goblins flag football team.
Demand 622: Kilian will hence forth cease and desist kicking, hitting, spitting on, or throwing anything at the goblins.
Demand 623: The goblins will be allowed to take at least one day off a month.

And I forgot to mention that there is a new poll up here…
Take an opportunity to shape the future of Normality Restored…
Or don’t, if that’s the way you want to be.

OH!! and dancing bunnies behind happy Gilgrim = THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE
May 24th, 2008 at 12:51 am
Wonderful as always!
And yes, the happy Gilgrim pic was the perfect ‘I Haz Cheezburgr!!’ moment.
You should make counterdemands. Like…
Counterdemand 143: Stop blaming everything on Vista.
Counterdemand 144: Including glandular problems, no more Kit Kats in the snack machine, and how the colors of the group uniform clash with your protective outer layer of filth.
Counterdemand 145: Deodorant, deodorant, deodorant.
Eh. Brain is dead. Another curious thing is how Gilgrim always draws himself in glasses but is never wearing them in photos. (Or hardly ever, I think I’ve seen them once.) It’s cool though, he’s like… Marcie’s punk older brother.

Oh. And because Normalinauts love bacon: http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/breakfast_of_champions
Must. Have.

So who wants to take a road trip to Santa Cruz for Choco-bacon?
May 25th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
At least it isn’t the decapitated bunnies that I somehow have on my harddrive!! I think I’m good on the bacon at least after watching the Chicken-fried bacon episode again but I will join you for a road trip!!
Well, only one computer has Vista on it, and that is my laptop, the rest have a preserved version of XP/2000/98SE.
You know I’ve never seen Gilgrim with glasses either….
May 25th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I blame things on Vista and my comp has XP. It’s just fun.
May 25th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Vista isn’t 100% crappy just like 98% bad.
Though Counterdemand 143 should be Stop asking for Vista!!!

Aleister wears his glasses all the time, though normally at work. He mostly needs them to read or see things up close (like when he’s drawing).
May 26th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Ooo. The opposite of me. I have to take mine off to read the tiny print on Tylenol bottles, sometimes to read regular books too.

Chicken peppers everyone knows that chicken peppers should be on the list!
