CHAAAARGE!
 Okay,
enough about guns. Let's talk swords.... and arrows,
and pikes, and cavalry.
I don't know if anyone has thought about this before,
and I'm sure they have, but I wonder if there is a
way to program a real-time game that
would allow thousands of players to connect simultaneously
via the 'net and recreate, famous land battles. Like
the
Battle
of Agincourt, for
instance.
You'd need about 20,000 players for that particular
battle and each person would control just the one character.
Once he's dead, he'd out of the game. It would, of
course, suck if a stray arrow happened to pierce your
eyeball just as things got started but that's the way
it goes. C'est la guerre.
By giving players modest power-ups for experience over
several battles it behoove certain players to abandon
the field when the
battle tipped in favor of the enemy, just like in real
life. Of course, they may be hunted down and slaughtered
from behind by dragoons while clambering through the
muck and mire for their lives but, again, that's death.
Anyway, sounds like it could be fun. It certainly beats
being head-shotted incessantly by teenaged hackers
in Call
of Duty.

Note: The
last gun in this cartoon, the Chef's Special, was created
a couple of days after the cartoon first appeared
to replace a gun that was just a cheap dick joke. ("The
Preemptor", it
shoots too quick.) I'm thankful I can make these little
corrections after-the-fact as sometimes my mind doesn't
work perfectly when racing to meet my arbitrary publishing
deadline.

Mitt Romney Is A Big Fat Liar.
 In
a recent speech President Obama said the American private
sector is doing fine, which it is.
The Romney campaign immediately put out a commercial
making it seem as though Mr. Obama said "the economy
is doing fine", which it isn't. No thanks to the Republican
led House of Representatives.
Mitt Romney is a liar. A big fat, liar.

Republican Job Creation Update
 6-11-2012: On
Friday the House voted to cut funding for the Open
World Leadership Center,
the Congressional
Research Service, and the Washington
Botanic Garden. But they voted themselves funds
to print some snazzy new pocket-sized editions of
the U.S. Constitution
to hand out to constituents. As always, no jobs were
created.
