I love mp3 players. I'm too young to remember tape players, but god, CD players were so temperamental!

The comic:
I want a hammock.
I also want nice weather. A hammock in summer? You'd need to be an animal to not be eaten alive, but since you're wearing a fur coat, you can't stay out very long.
Considering yesterday's topic, you'd think "Plugger networking" would involve fishing somehow.
But being lazy is paramount.

The comic:
This would have been better if he'd had heart tattoo on his arm.
And I can say, as someone who is bloated from a delicious dinner, that tucking in your shirt is a stupid idea.
But, as I recall from an Archie comic, "teenagers look bad with their shirts untucked." (Archie's mom's secret to making him tuck in his shirt? An inch of lace sown around the bottom.)
Pluggers don't wear their hearts on their sleeves - that's what elitists do. Sharing your feelings? Yuck. I'd rather sit on a lake for 12 hours and drink.

I was born in 1988. I could buy something "several years" older than me and my hypothetical coworkers.
Now Pluggers aren't necessarily old, I am sad.

Pluggers are delusional. They're Pluggers, which automatically makes them failures! I'm surprised they're willing to admit that life isn't perfect.
Okay, this makes no g-d sense. Help!

The comic:
Of course this is from Florida.
So why aren't they in a home? Because they're stronger than their weak little twerpy kids or something...
Or they're ghosts.
Actually, I bet the kids moved in at 18 to escape and now they've been caught and will return to the compound. Shed a tear for them.

Pluggers can read?
And they do crosswords for fun?
I call shenanigans.
Of course, the reason they never fight is because they realized at a young age that resistance is useless.

"Earning" ice cream? Is ice cream their currency? No wonder so many are fat.

Why isn't this called a classic? Because it - or the drawing - has run before. I will never forget it. Most disturbing Pluggers ever.

Get a better one, you idiot. They make ones where it holds more than one pill per day, in its own little compartment. As someone who has to take meds 3 times a day, trust me.
Wait... they said meds.
OH MY GOD
First the emotionally draining Rang De Basanti, now this? Oh when will the horror end?

The comic:
And the lights are probably off...
You should see me hunting for my glasses. I take them off and forget where they are like that. Once, I was looking for them while I was um... wearing them. No wonder everything was so clear!
But most of my "Since when do we have a door here?" bruises come when it is well-lit and my glasses are on.
Okay, I'm a million miles away. I watched Thelma and Louise tonight, I've got a song from Dil Chahta Hai in my head, and I'm thinking about rewatching Fanaa like now because Kajol is awesome.
But I'll go to bed and probably crash into something on the way there.

The comic:
Sometimes Pluggerisms get so particular, and other times they're too broad.
This is one of those times. That first part of the sentence clinched it. Also, why is it always the dad who has an emptied wallet? That used to bug me about the Jetsons - if it's the future, why isn't Jane working? If you're a married parent, your wallet is empty no matter what your gender. Especially these days. Way to stick to the sexist cliches, Brookins.

Um, this took me a while to figure out.
He's wearing overalls and sometimes those are called bib overalls.
I hate that I know that.
Also, Pluggers outgrow everything - I've seen the comics that prove it.
And is he saying Pluggers never stop being as messy as little kids? Ew.

The comic:
Bullshit.
Pluggers are the assholes shooting off fireworks in their backyard whether it's legal or not, scaring my dog silly and pissing me off.
I hate fireworks.
Also, another shitty car? I assume it's American-made, in honor of the Fourth.

I'm sorry.
I believe I looked at the Pluggers from the 17th and just said "fuck it".
At the time, I'd been spending less and less time online and more time asleep and reading. Also, I think I was getting a bit depressed, as I watched less and less Bollywood movies.
Writing about Pluggers is emotionally and creatively draining.
Also, that guy runs classics like every other week.
Happy fourth!
Unlike other times when I took off, this time I don't think I'll be covering the days I missed.* Sorry.
ETA: *This is subject to change, of course.
And this has NOTHING to do with watching two good Bollywood movies last night and seeing one in a MOVIE THEATER for the first time since February. Or maybe everything. Man, Omkara is awesome.

I have a rule about this blog - no googling. Pluggers is a comic for the common man, dammit, and I should get the references.

That's not outsourcing!
That's being lazy.
Even though I'd do it in a heartbeat. I just wouldn't call it outsourcing or even think of it as outsourcing.
I mean, it's still my yard - it's not the mower's yard.
Pluggers are lazy idiots.

Back to having shitty cars and doing nothing about it.
There's something almost selfish about that, you know? What if their cars breaks down during rush hour? What if something breaks off and flies into your windshield? Or sits on the road, waiting to puncture your tires?
What I'm saying is, take care of your damn cars!
