So.
My health has been especially heinous since the last time I posted.
And judging by tonight, it's not getting better any time soon.
Normally, mocking Pluggers would be a welcome distraction, but it's just not working for me right now.
It's not like I'm not online and I haven't shut myself off like I've done before - I still comment at some sites, still post at my favorite message board, hey, I started tweeting. Still do facebook.
I just... can't.
Well, in two weeks' time, I'll be at home and this horrible semester will be behind me (and the mountains of paperwork for filing for disability will be ahead of me... oy) and who knows.
Also, it's hard to mock Pluggers the few times they're not being smug a-holes. Because what's so funny about poor health or poverty? I guess I could just say "Ha ha, he's so poor he's doing X, isn't that what America wants to see in its comics? It's so funny! Why aren't you laughing?" It's like Funky Winkerbean some days, and the smirks come on the smug days. "Pluggers don't know what this new thing is, and they don't care" and "Pluggers are good people (non-Pluggers are not)".
So.
No promises.

Saturday April 10th
The comic:
The caption says "Pluggers' 'don't ask, don't tell'." And features the female chicken Plugger standing in front of an open fridge, looking towards the male dog Plugger (and the audience), asking, "Did you take the last piece of cake out of the fridge?" The dog has a guilty look on his face, food on his mouth, and he's holding a plate with a piece of cake on it. And he's using a fork.
This hurts my head. He can't tell right now because his mouth is full, but WTF? Is she going to kick him out of the house once she finds out he did take the cake? Because he was foolish enough to use silverware, leaving a trail behind.
So do stereotypical wives (as if there are any other in Pluggerville) not ask if their stereotypical husbands eat "bad" food?
But she did ask.
THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!

Friday April 9th
A day turned into a week, spring fever?
The comic:
The caption says "A plugger 'last call'." and features a shot of the side of a house, with the female chicken Plugger leaning out the door, calling to a medium-sized dog (drawn surprisingly well), saying "C'mon boy, finish up!... It' (sic) time for bed!"
It's time for my bed, you mean. Yes, I know the joy of "I want out" at 2 in the morning. And then waiting, because not only must business be taken care of, the perimeter must be inspected.
The only thing is, I'd never call it a "last call."
"Pluggerisms" are the only thing separating me and most dog owners (who have indoor/outdoor dogs who sleep inside most nights) from being Pluggers.
What a nightmare.

The comic:
The caption says, "After a plugger has lived it up, he has to live it down." It was sent in by Brad Wesner of Simpsonville, South Carolina and the box says "Thanks to..." which is nice, I guess. There are four Pluggers, two standing, two sitting. One is seated on the other side of the counter, and one is standing on the other side as well, so we can two fully, including the RhinoMan Plugger. A Bear Plugger is seated close to us, and a Dog Plugger is the other one sitting, holding up pictures and grinning a smug grin with his teeth showing. He is saying, "Remember the St. Patrick's Day Party, Andy, when you wore that lampshade on your head?" They appear to be in a diner and the fourth person is a female Plugger and I cannot tell her breed - no rabbit ears, no chicken beak. She is laughing. RhinoMan has no expression I can understand, but "Andy," the bear one looks horrified.
Anyways, Pluggers don't get to have fun that often and when they do, their so-called friends like to make fun of them. Pluggerville seems like a great place to live!
Also, lampshade on the head? Wow, creative!
And RhinoMan has no embarrassing pictures. I imagine he was eating at a booth (alone) and came over because he wanted to be part of the public shaming. I wonder how the Dog Plugger will use the pictures. Blackmail, of course, but what does he want?

The comic:
The caption says "A plugger's serving size is all-he-can-eat." It was sent in by Merla Mae Russel of Marion, Iowa, and is called a "classic". This means nothing, because they once called something a classic that was about five months old. It shows a happy Plugger, with a big grin on his face and his tongue stuck out, as if he's licking his lips in anticipation of "all-he-can-eat." He is a bear monster. He is holding a can that says BEEF RAVIOLI 39 oz, and pouring the whole thing into a bowl. I think that's the side of a microwave next to the bowl, because cold ravioli is icky. The drawing is pretty good except for the Plugger himself, but since we don't see much of him, the only bad part is the hand holding the bowl.
Only male Pluggers get to do that - a lady must watch her figure, after all!
I can't be too mad, he looks happy. And food is good. It keeps you alive.
And you should eat what fills you up. Serving suggestions are jokes and they're mostly used for misleading advertising - only 5 calories in a bottle of our soda! (5 calories per serving and how many servings?)
I want some canned ravioli. That sounds good. (College student with chronic pain condition whose pain is slowly going away. Ten minutes from now, this would be a dissertation length and make no damn sense to anyone but me, and not even me come the morning.)

The comic:
The caption says "When a plugger opens her mailbox, it's more pills and bills." It shows a monstrosity opening a mailbox, holding boxes as envelopes fall to the ground. It is poorly drawn. It was sent in by Robert Webb of Gainesville, Georgia.
Uh... what? It rhymes, so that's why? I expected "more pills THAN bills" and when copying the caption, I typed that and had to go back and put it right.
So Pluggers get their prescriptions through the mail. Bully for them. Well, only female ones. Wait - Robert is a male name. Why is it a woman? Why is it "her" mailbox? Who picked the gender - the artist or the real life Plugger?
And what is the point?!
*Trying to make this blog more accessible. My HTML-fu is a bit rusty, so I won't mess with ALT text and just describe (to the best of my abilities) the comic. I will probably use the words "monstrosity" and "poorly drawn" every day. If you didn't know, blind people can use the internet. Text based websites are the most accessible, and describing the image helps a lot.

That sick Plugger drawing is scary.
How is it true love? It's only true love if you believe that MILs will fight with their DILs until one dies, but that's a tired old stereotype oh never mind.

The comic:
Oh no, my roommate and I are Pluggers. My "bedside table" is my microwave on top of my fridge and hers is two big containers stacked together.
Of course, we're not pretentious and don't call them "end tables" or table of any kind - just a place for our shit.
And why would you keep the dog cage/carrier - open - in the living room? If it's open, the dog can come and go, so why have a carrier? Does he like to sleep in there? If so, it should be in the bedroom, because dogs are clingy little monkeys.
This makes no sense. I just think an overturned milk crate would work better.
This - while serving two purposes - just doesn't make sense. The second purpose is bizarre. For a while, Dixie slept in a carrier (she was a puppy, it was a way to make sure she didn't pee everywhere while I slept) and Mikey slept in the one he came in for a bit before graduating to sleeping on mom's bed and growling at me. No, he growled at me while in the carrier. Ironically, we never used the carrier to take him to the vet. When all the 3 had to go, we used a big cage, the same one we used when we went camping. Sometimes they'd sleep in it while we were camping (with the door shut tight), but we weren't indoors, we were camping.
So this still makes no damn sense.

The comic:
Yes, it's so funny when you don't remember things.
Or when walking up the stairs (though if it's 40 times in a row, maybe) is exhausting.
No, it's not funny, it's "touching". The hell? Okay, so we "identify" with the exhausted Plugger.
It's sad, and we're supposed to (as comic mockers) go ha ha, he's fat and old. Ha ha.
I do have a solution - keep all the glasses in a box, and keep said box with you. Or keep multiple pairs, if you got the money. And computer glasses are different from reading glasses? Lordy. I have my one pair because I'm near-sighted. I never leave them on a different floor. Different room, yes.
And ha - the glasses are on his head! I've tried that, not comfortable.
And an extra dose of knee-slapping hilarity - he forgot what he wanted to do, in addition to bad eyesight. It's so fun to make fun of people's illnesses and infirmities. I know I do. I go to St. Jude weekly and point at the girls and laugh because they are bald.
I won't go back and edit my own posts, but as a chronically ill overweight person who forgets things and wears glasses, I don't think I've been too cruel in the past. If I am mean in the future, it will be towards Brookins, to the genuine fans who think this tripe is worth money. Eh, I'm contributing - no such thing as bad press! But sometimes the comic disgusts me, and not because it's really objectionable, but just because what's the point. They're old. They have illnesses. They're fat (or drawn that way). It's not funny.

The comic:
You only take medication once a day?
Ha! Wimps.
Mine is bigger and each day has 4 boxes. I only need to use 3 of them.
I guess this is supposed to be sad? Their lives revolve around medication, and everyone knows young people don't take medication unless they have the flu, no the only people taking medication to stay alive are old.
I - a 21 year old - do not have to get up at 8 every day and gag down 8 pills. Nosiree, I'm "young"! Body, please listen and change accordingly. And regrow a thyroid - a working one, if you please!
Needing medicine does not make you a Plugger, nor is it a sign of old age.
Bah, Pluggers love them some stereotypes. They know what they can do with their stereotypes!

The comic:
Are sandwich boards still that common? I see underpaid teenagers holding signs, dressed as gorillas or Lady Liberty (tax places), but no sandwich boards.
And this is an age old gripe - I'm paying HOW MUCH to shill for these people? Well, it's usually a parent griping about a child neeeeeeeeeeeeding the latest brand name.
And Pluggers celebrate it.
Personally, I don't care. I like my Joe Crab Shack shirts. (Do I still have them?) But I'm not fussy about brands - if it fits my needs, great. I got a brand name purse at Goodwill, and apparently it's a good (not cheap!) brand, as a total stranger told me. What-ever.

The comic:
You know you can change the channel, right?
I cared this year because of Colbert and the American ice dancing team dancing to Bollywood. I did not have to sit through NBC's coverage to find that.
Anyways, Pluggers are boring, like boring things, and like to get published about boring things. (I hear fishing is less boring if you're drunk and/or have dynamite.) Also, Ohio. Paul misses ice fishing, but it's too expensive to drive up to Michigan or Minnesota or Wisconsin. Poor Paul.
Also - timely! And it's a "classic".
Wait - it can't be a classic for true Olympic (winter or summer) fans - they know when ice fishing was added, so seeing this year after year (I guess they save puns for the summer game) must make them angry. For about .00001 seconds before they move on. I'm the only one thinking about this who doesn't get paid. Sad sad sad.
Good night.
Oh, I watched some of the Olympics and freaked out when the skiers did those jumps, and went upside down, I had the TV on, I poked my head in to bother my mom and then I was like "WTF was that what did they just do?"
Also, the final hockey game. I love frequenting places with so many Canadians - they were so happy! And the descriptions - the Torontoians finally know how the Vancouverites felt! Yeah, it wasn't a good fiscal idea, but it seemed like such fun. And not Plugger like.
(Hey wait, Colbert never tried for ice fishing... hmm...)

The comic:
Less depressing than the last time they showed balance - or was that about balance? - you remember, the look of horror in the rabbit eared ladies eyes, the kid on her hip.
Pluggers are literal, but not because of any neurological problems, but because they're jerks.
It's so funny when a neurotypical person takes a metaphorical phrase literally! Also, how does this relate to life in general? I guess if you're physically balanced the rest will follow?
I do this sometimes - if I have my purse on my right side, I have my mp3 player in my left pocket. Balance, she says, before tripping over nothing.
So yeah, they're jerks.
But he's smiling, which is better than that look of rage/dead inside.

The comic:
Bully for them.
Actually, the increasing control computers have over our vehicles is pretty creepy at times, I'd want a manual override for my windows so my car couldn't suffocate me. (It's so obvious I don't drive.)
It is annoying to have to not start, but still grab the keys to roll up the windows of the truck in case of rain.
But they "know" this - I wonder how long it took for them to figure this out.

The comic:
And he needs one. Even I know no "football shirts" - wait, why can't she say jersey? Though the bottom looks like a sweatshirt hem. Okay, that's officially too much thought.
But this neatly sums up "Pluggers" - a cheaper version of something fancy and elite, football, God, cheese, and a henpecked husband. (Why couldn't the wife be the chicken? They both wouldn't have fit in the frame the way he draws.)
And, as a godless killing machine, he is about to go all bear on her. Look at those eyes. He knows he can't go to church and will delay it like a petulant (1)4-year-old, because he doesn't want to burst into flame. "So... baseball shirts are okay?" He will drag out the lacrosse ones to avoid this!
Why is he so pissed? I haven't been since 2004, but even I know this, and if I were going, I'd be RESPECTFUL and dress nice. (It ticked me off to no end that my sister's graduation ceremonies were held in a church. People thought it was bad that my class didn't get to graduate near our town, but at least we didn't have to go to a mega-church. The valedictorian made up for it by praying at the end of his speech.)
Also, I wouldn't go to a church service. It's boring, I don't want to be there. I'm not married, maybe grown-ass adults in a legally binding contract for ADULTS have less rights than minors (who are old enough to stay at home by themselves).
No one's making you go, and seriously, you don't miss the football game. Most services are over by noon or one (we went to the 8 am one for reasons I'll never care about). I don't go for one major reason - it's boring and pulling out a book would probably be disrespectful, and as a Southern Young Lady, I should sit still and not draw and write in the little book provided for bored kids. I also don't believe in it, and making me go when I don't wanna certainly won't change my beliefs! It seems very personal, and if I must do something religion related, I'll watch Life of Brian. But if I have to get up and get out, I'll take the dog on a walk. I did that in 2006, so I didn't have to go to church (and it would have been "forced", even though I was a legal adult). Nature is a better sanctuary... unless there are bears!!!
Anyways, they do this every week and it's such a waste. Also, I appreciate that this was meant Saturday, so everyone could see it, because some people don't get the Sunday one.
