Back with some classic Aren’t We Real today? YES!

It’s very sad, but the Canadian cartoon television network, Teletoon, has stopped, as of last night, airing re-runs of Home Movies. The tragedy is all the more overwhelming considering that they have replaced it with Canuck-bred series Sons of Butcher, which is a debilitating sex-joke riddled grossfest. I revile the thought of no more Brendan, Melissa, Jason or Coach McGuirk. *sigh* Maybe I should invest in a DVD. Home Movies was so before its time.

Okay, so it’s Saint Valentine’s Day. Whoop-dee-doo. Just a lot of hooplah which takes away all the attention from MY BIRTHDAY which is FIVE DAYS AWAY (SEND A CARD!!!).

There are but a few arguable reasons why Saint Valentine’s Day is relevant, yet many people cling to this day as the best moment to show you love someone, though I beg to differ. However, when you’re in grade school and your mind hasn’t been overwashed with cynicism, the innocence of today’s intentions is unquestionable. Regardless of how I feel, I cannot but be overwhelmed with the Valentines card my son Mathias did for a little girl in his class:

You can click to enlarge it. In any extent, the card reads: “Chère Lauriane. Quand je te vois, mon coeur bat très fort. Tu es la plus belle fille de l’univers. Tu es ma belle fleur. Joyeuse St-Valentin!!! Ton ami, Mathias.”

It’s times like this one where I wonder if I’m just not too over-analytical of the world and have forgotten how simple it can be. Then I hear someone talk about the Olympics and the ire gets me back on track.

Hello fellow Gluemeaties! Your humble servant is feeling a little under the weather with what seems to be the start of a cold. So, I believe it will be time for me to kick in my anti-cold shock treatment and try and stifle the symptoms before I get too groggy to party.

Here’s what I do: I take a big glass of orange juice and add a bulb of liquid echinacea to it, then swallow it all down. I do that twice a day. In fact, I go through about two litres of orange juice per day, drinking glasses here and there, as I take it to the bug inside me, hardcore.

Everyone has their own anti-cold recipe, this is mine and works wonders. Anyone else has these kinds of tricks? Let’s discuss them on the Glueboard!

Fun fact:Muffins do not grow on Greeks!

I recently had a thought which implied many different levels of cashew inhaling. No, not eating, not chewing, not rolling around in your mouth until it dissolves; inhaling cashews is what I was thinking about. Then, the thought stopped.

Yes.

Paranoia: Delusional parasitosis is the emotional condition in which a person believes that live organisms are present on or in the skin of his or her body, or periodically biting them.

I don’t know if you know this, but if you do, ignore it; but if you don’t pay attention: our pal Sev has started back at doing his own webcomic, the one known as The Armenian Caper. And no, it has little to do with a tasty condiment usually enjoyed with fish. So I suggest you all go take a gander and have fun doing so. Otherwise, BEES!

Have a great day, everyone!

Milestone: My son, Mathias, sleepwalked for the first time last night.

So, I don’t know if any of you noticed, but Gluemeat now has a notification list. What is a notification list, you ask, Tim? Really, Tim, what a silly question; everyone knows a notification list is a list you can add your email to in order to receive a timely email delivered into your inbox to announce to “notify” you (see how that works, Tim?) of when new content has been updated on Gluemeat.Com.

I decided to add the list as you can never really expect as to when I am going to add something next. Like adding this comic on a Tuesday! I added something to Gluemeat on a TUESDAY. That, like, NEVER HAPPENS! DOESN’T THAT JUST BLOW YOUR MIND??! If you were on the notification list, you’d have known about it. Probably even before Tim did.

So look, here’s the box signup thing, so what’s keeping you?

Well would you look at this now. It’s an old Aren’t We Real comic strip. For sooth! What is going on here?

First and foremost, for those of you who aren’t in the know, Aren’t We Real (or AWR as the hipsters refer to it) was my first foray into the world of webcomics way back in 2000. And while it allowed me to get to know Lee Herold, Adam Burke, Brad Guigar, Bob Roberts, Xaviar Xerxes and, unfortunately, that Harvest Moon-loving misanthrope Boxjam (who needs to convince someone to marry them???), the comic fell by the wayside and eventually led to Gluemeat.

Now, I know I started re-issuing them on another section of the Gluemeat site and stopped. I guess it was a bad web decision which eventually turned me off, as I should have simply put them all on the main Gluemeat index. So I’ve decided to do just that! Start over from scratch and get it right up here for all to see. Therefore, folks, prepare over the next few months to be introduced to the ghosts of my past: Petey Real and his faithful companion Horse.

Be forewarned, however. My AWR stuff is much coarser than anything you regular Gluemeaties have been exposed to, and some people might read it and be outright offended. So the red flag has been raised. Risks and perils are yours.

See you tomorrow!
