Is Stranger Than Fiction.
I am redesigning Stool Sample Webcomics a bit. While the site will have the same web address, I am going to rename the main page Stool Sample. I am going to section it off into sections
1. Stool Sample Webcomics, with all the titles, no matter if they update anymore or not.
2. Stool Sample Art Galleries, featuring all our hosted art galleries (more on that below).
3. Stool Sample Records, local (perhaps beyond local)bands we feature.
4. Stool Sample Literature, Hosted fiction, non fiction.
It will be easier to navigate and have several central hubs. Again we will host just about anything you wish. Just read our submission guidelines and contact me.

A Productive Vacation
So much done!
Finished the latest episode of The Wraith, finished a website for a client, halfway finished another website for a client, did extensive work on yet another website client, finished my latest commission, and finished up sketches for two more murals. All the while playing caring for the 4 and 3 year old, trying to clean the house, losing tonights softball game to end our season, putting together a Fantasy Football draft, and playing around with PHP. And the weeks only half over! I love doing this type of work, I'm begging for more so keep it coming.
The Internet makes the world small.
Got a couple of emails from one of my neighbors today. Found my site doing a websearch!
Another Interesting email.
Someone sent me one today telling me how much they enjoy reading my blog, and they send it to their friends to read, but have a hard time describing it, and asked if I could do so. So, here it goes:
Dropping My Daily Stool Sample is a blog that ruminates, rants, critiques and sometimes babbles about anything that catched the author fancy. It is one part advertising vehicle for the author's personal projects, one part wierd news commentary, one part critique on a just about anything, one part trivia game, and on part on going art/writing project.
Does that work? It is strange also. This blog has a lot of readers. It averages close to 200 unique readers a day. Not alot of comments though . . .
Whoops.

Well, you are in for a treat tonight, for You are Listening too . .. a local fave of mine, who broke up way too soon, The Amazing Royal Crowns. Malach considers himself very lucky to have seen them live. They burned up the late 90's music scene with a fusion of punk, rockabilly, a bit of swing, and nasty swagger. They are best described as taking one part Iggy and Stooges, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis, The Misfits, and Dropkick Murphys. They were high speed and AMAZING live. They sort of fell apart in early 2000 when their major label debut flopped, and then they all quit.
Dudes if you are reading this, there are a ton of fans waiting for a reunion! Still Loyal to the Royal, I wear my beat to crap concert shirt all the time. Blood, Sweat, and Grease man!

Angry Piper is on a mini/psuedo hiatus/sabbatical. He will be on the internet, but not able to update his site for a bit. So Piper is looking for your help. He is looking for guest book reviewers for the next few weeks or so. If you like to give it a shot, here are the submission guidelines. You know Malach is gonna review something, something like Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus.
Cue the Music (MNF Theme).
It is time for Malach pre-view of the upcoming NFL Season. Like last year, Malach will provide you all you need to know, and I only expect 10% of you gambling earnings (and if you look at last year, I was pretty damn close). I will reprint it tonight on my blog also. Teams are listed by division and order of finish. So here we go:
AFC EAST
New England Patriots: The Pats have one of the weakest schedules in the NFL this year (for once). They are also, beyond Miami in a very weak division. Pats should win the division, and probably go 12 - 4. Deion Branch will play, and probably be signed soon. The Defense will play more like they did in the second half last year, especially with the return of Rodney Harrison. Junior Seau is a VERY interesting add. He should see 15 - 20 plays a game and provide another on field leader. The offense is scary. Brady is coming off his best statistical year. They are going to run some 3 - 4 tight end offensese (you heard me) with guys like Ben Watson lined up as your second reciever. Watson should have a huge year. Watch for the rookies, Jackson and Maroney, especially Maroney (who will be better than Reggies Bush) to have big years. The Combo of Dillion, Maroney and Kevin Faulk, could accumulate 2500 yards. They will miss Givens, but if Dave Thomas and Reche Caldwell can catch touchdowns, they should be fine. Also watch for a relative unknown like Bam Childress to take over the role of Troy Brown. In addition they have chip on their shoulder again. The Pats have a good shot to win their 4th Super Bowl.
Miami Dolphins: Miami needs another year, but they should give the Pats their only divisional competition this year. The defense is still good, albeit old. The biggest question mark the 'Fins have is Daunte Culpepper. Can Culpepper fit into to the AFC? Can he win with out Randy Moss? He has perhaps the best set of recievers ever in his career; can he adjust to the hard hitting, style of the AFC? Saban is not going to want him to run too often, which is probably good. Dolphins are good for at least 9 - 7 and at least one win vs. the Pats. Might sneak in as a wildcard, but might be tough to do in the AFC. They do have the benefit of playing the Jets and the Bills twice.
New York Jets: This is going to be a long year for Jets fans, though they should be better than the Bills. Best thing they did is dump that idiot Herm Edwards. It will be interesting to see if Pennington can get back to his form of 2003 - 2004, and whether or not Curtis Martin can even play. Acquiring Kevan Barlow is a bit interesting and at the very least they have a servicable running back. .500 will be a good season for this team.
Buffalo Bills: Scott Norwood still owes you a Super Bowl. Gonna be a LONG cold year in Buffalo. Hey, Peerless Price is back! 4 -12.
AFC SOUTH
Indianapolis Colts: Sorry Indy, you were destined to win it last year and failed. As your team slowly succumbs to salary cap Hell, you'll make another run at it, but lose to NE or PITT in the playoffs. They are going to miss Edgerrin James, Addae is going to be pretty good, but he is no James. Again, they will score, but they still have no defense. Defense is good enough to beat most average NFL teams, but does not work against the top teams. Colts should finish 12 - 4 or so, but bounced out of the 1st of 2nd round of the playoffs. Peyton Manning, meet Dan Marino.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Jacksonville like last year will fight the Colts for the top spot. Excellent defense, improved offense the question as always is Byron Leftwich. Can he move to the next level? Evertime he does it seems the interception gods bring him back to Earth . . . but if Jake Plummer could do it . . 12 - 4?
Houston Texans: A lot of questions here. Can they build on last season? They did not really add anyone, nor did they really lose anyone . . . 8 - 8 would be an improvement from last year! This team is stuck in some weird tropor or space time continuim.
Tennesee Titans: Tennesee singed some interesting players. Tennesee could give some teams fits week to week. The Titans could be better than the Texans if the stars align properly. They are still rebuilding, and I can guarantee you Vince Young will be starting by the third week of the season. Anything is a improvement over 4 - 12 or last year. .500 season with luck.
AFC NORTH
Pittsburgh Steelers: Pitt is in a VERY interesting division this year, a division that could turn out to be the best in football. Pitt should be the top team out of this division, but Ben Roethlisberger needs to take the next step (yeah sound silly since they won it all). Ben has to become a better quarterback. He is going to have to throw more than 17 touchdowns. Shockingly it seems Duce Staley is the number one RB. Defense is still very good. Could they repeat, hat is now up to Rothlesberger, hopefully they keep him away from motrocycles. They should win the division but will 11 - 5 do it?
Cincinatti Bengals: This is what I wrote about them last year: The Colts of the AFC North, with a worse defense. They will score some points, but also give up a lot of them. If this team can have a halfway decent preformance from their defense, they will make the playoffs, if not, they will finish third in the division. It still holds true. This team might start slow . . but should blow out mediocrity.
Baltimore Ravens: This team fortunes rest with Steve McNair, if he still has it, they could be competing for a playoff spot and possibly send Cincy back to Earth. If not, they will finish at the bottom. Watch for Todd Heap to have a huge year with McNair.
Cleveland Browns: This team is going to be very good, not this year, but sooner than later. They absolutely need a Quarterback, but this is going to be one of those "bad" teams no one will want to play. .500 or just below will be a huge step for this team.
AFC WEST
Denver Broncos: Yet another new running back star in the making (something in the water in CO), but again, are we just waiting for Jake Plummer to implode? Both New England and Pitt exposed Denver last year in the playoffs. Denver should win this division which might be the weakest in AFC. But get bounced in the first round of the playoffs.
San Digo Chargers/Kansas City Chiefs: Let see, Chargers have Shotenheimer and the Cheifs Edwards, both are meidocre coaches. KC has no recievers beyond Tony Gonzales, San Deigo no one beyond Gates. Tomlinson vs Johnson? Trent Green is a servicable quarterback, Rivers is going to have a LONG year. SD defense in pretty good, KC's not so much . . .
Their both better than the Raiders.
Oakland Raiders: So do you think Al Davis is jealous of Dan Snyder? Time to put away the black and silver gear for another year. Randy Moss should hey traded to Dallas, now that would be entertaining.
NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys: This will be a fun year in big D. The Tuna already won't talk to or address TO by name, their "drunken kicker" can't do kick offs, Terry Glenn is the voice of reason. They are even talking about adding Freddy Mitchell. Dallas should win the division, if they don't kill one another first. This division is going to be rough, and you might see someone win it with a 9 - 7 record. I just can't wait form Bledsoe's inevitable implosion, and TO reaction, halfway through the season. NFL, your got a reality show right here!
The New York Giants: I might eat these words, but Eli Manning might turn out to be the more succesful Manning brother. The Giants are a very solid team, and Manning continues to improve. They might take the top spot in the division. They are close and have the talent to do it.
Washington Redskins: Dan Snyder, tell me one thing. Why did you pay Randel El, as a 1st string WR, when he has never been more that a 4th stringer and kickoff returner? Gibbs has finally let go of the reins of the the offensive play calling. Again good division with abover average teams, they might all end up log jammed at the top with 9 - 7 records.
Philadelphia Eagles: Philly, you have no running back, or any any wide receivers (there is a reason he is called Todd Stinkston), you got a good tight end, you are the worst team in this division. 7 - 9 at best.
NFC SOUTH
Carolina Panthers: The analysts darling, and you wonder why? Look at this crappy division. One of two good teams in the NFC that might get into the Super Bowl, still can't compete with any AFC playoff team. Keyshawn Johnson is a very interesting addition to this team. Makes their offense less one dimensional. They shoul finish with 11+ wins.
Atlana Falcons: Unless Michael Vick changes his playing style, the Falcons will do nothing, and Vick will continue to be the next Kordell Stewart. This division is bad and they might sneak into the playoffs.
Tampa Bay: TB is a real enigma to me. They should be bad, but they might not be. How's that for decisive.
New Orleans Saints: Hey Drew Brees, Welcome to N'orleans, the Black Hole of the NFL.
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears: This is a AWFUL division. Chicago is guaranteed 6 wins just from playing the rest of the division. Extremely good defense. No offense. Might go a few rounds in the playoffs but any team scoring 20 will beat them. With this division they might win 12.
Detrot Lions: Can the Lions finally get it together behind John 'Superchristian' Kitna? Or will it be Josh McOwn lead them to a winning season? Hell, they might have the best bunch of receivers in the league, they got a halfway decent running back and a decent defense. Perhaps the curse of Barry Sanders? They are better than the rest of the divsion, but not Chicago. They should do better than 5 - 11 of last year, but this is the Lions.
Minnesota Vikings: This is a rebuilding year, and still they might be better than the Packers.
Green Bay Packers: In statis while making their way to Pleaseretire Planet in the Brett Favre system.
NFC WEST
Seattle Seahawks: Still the best team in the NFC, but you saw last year how bad the NFC still is. You cannot beat Pittsburgh with Roethelisberger throwing up a 22 QB rating? Expect more of the same out of Seattle. They might go 14 - 2 in the NFC but lose in the Big Game.
St. Louis Rams: The best Mediocre team in the NFL.
Arizona: Might be the most improved team. Well see how long Warner lasts at the helm. Leinart for all his faults, can play the pro version of the game (at least in college). Edgerrin James will give this team and interesting wrinkle. Might finish second in the division, perhaps a 8 - 8 record.
San Francisco 49ers: Hey you still have 6 Super Bowl Titles.

[adult swim] broadcast the premeir of Crayon Shin Chan last night.
For those unfamiliar with the series it is a long running, 15 year old anime/manga, that is kind of akin to the Japanese Simpsons. It is something I have wanted to at least check out for the past few years. I found it rather entertaining, especially in it's self parody of anime. According to Wikipedia (damn them!) Shin Chan is hard to translate completely for American audiences. While not side splittingly funny, I will watch it again, it kept my attention this week. Much of the humor is high brow, and the Family Guy audience might not like this series.
Garfield.
Someone at a forum I frequent posted this. I remember when this first came out, how strange it was. I am not a fan of Jim Davis, but his early Garfield, before the commercialization was very interesting. I had forgotten about this, and I wish Davis would occasional delve into this stuff more often. Davis actually talked about the strips in one compendium:
"During a writing session for Halloween week, I got the idea for this decidedly different series of strips. I wanted to scare people. And what do people fear most? Why, being alone. We carried out the concept to its logical conclusion and got a lot of responses from readers. Reaction ranged from 'Right on!' to 'This isn't a trend is it?' "
Malach's mom is a huge Garfield fan, I would be interesting to hear her thoughts on this. BTW, Ma thanks for the "the gift". Listening to it as I am writing this.

Last Goodbye.
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.
Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.
Kiss me, please kiss me, 
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.
Did you say,
"No, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind
in the back of your mind
saying, "Maybe,
you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"?
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes,
and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.
I am Malach your platonic friend.

Malach's Quote of the Day.
Monotheism is the primitive religion which centers human consciousness on Hive Authority. There is One God and His Name is ------- (substitute Hive-Label). If there is only One God then there is no choice, no option, no selection of reality. There is only Submission or Heresy. The word Islam means 'submission'. The basic posture of Christianity is kneeling. Thy will be done. - Timothy Leary
I am Malach and if this is a hive, I am your queen
Like and Dancer who has lost her legs . .
So where was Malach this weekend?
Special Olympics MA, Unified Softball Tournament, facing off once again against my mortal enemy Gene Hackman. I gave a little preview of it at WoW, but now for a more complete story.
For those of you unfamiliar with Unified Sports the basic concepts is that you team up a "normal" adult (Partner) with a Special Olympian (Athlete). For softball, that is a 1 partner to 1 athlete ratio, 5 Partner and 5 Athletes on the field and batting as a team. There are several division (I believe 7 in MA) and teams are divisioned based upon the physical skils of their team. My team, Rick's Ranger's is a division 1 team. Most team in division 1 could be fairly competitive with most regular men's softball teams. So of you may recall we won the gold last year . . .
Different story this year. This year we lost our two best athletes. Both could play regular men's softball, and both have power bats. One is up on a Murder Rap. Luckily we added a pretty good athlete at least as good as the guys who left, but not a powerbat. So we thought we wouldn't do to well this year. Well we won the bronze. And knocked off one of the undefeated teams. We also played to a 8 inning 17 - 17 tie with another team, after one of our partner's broke a collarbone in the second inning, and we had no sub, so we played with 9. We almost beat the gold medal team (and would have won the gold) if not for a uncharacteristic bad baserunning play, losing the game by 1 run. It was a fun 2 day, 5 game tournament, and we were scrappy and held our own. I am going to try to recruit back one of the guys we lost this winter.
Gene Hackman, was Gene Hackman, and went 5 - 6 against me. He is my krytonite, I bow to his power.
To top it off, Malach's regular men's softball team had their first playoff game to day of 2006. We won 37 - 9.

Malach's Quote of the Day
I am one of the sustaining pillars of the Primal Word of God. Whosoever hath recognized Me, hath known all that is true and right, and hath attained all that is good and seemly; and whosoever hath failed to recognize Me, hath turned away from all that is true and right and hath succumbed to everything evil and unseemly. - Báb

That's right!
The latest JesusMan! is uploaded. Plot twist as this new pisode, The Death of JesusMan! begins with 5:1. As foreshadowed, the Christ Closet, and the Jesus Sheild come about. I also just found out, JesusMan! got a pretty good review . . . I guess I will change the font, but MS Comic sans seemed so easy. As for the change in rendering, digital rendering is SO MUCH EASIER, and I am too busy to go back. Sorry.

Sometimes I will just carve the dimensions in stone.
Sometimes I will set broad ranges.
Sometimes I won't care at all.
Thanks to Malach's forum friend, Enigma Zero for that one.
Lots of new things to explore
Lots of fun stuff, where to being, how about a list, you all like lists.
1. There is a new Necromancer Ned up. Episode Ned 18. Palmer continues his excessive crossovers, and continuity twist all leading up to Crisis on the Infinite Palmer's Worlds.
2. There is a new Fumble Pit up, Episode 002. You can kid of see the direction this one is going in.
3. The Angry Piper has returned with anger. Check out some of his new features. The angry rants are funny. This is the Piper I love. And he posted a Bagpiping primer if any one you think you are Scottish.

Still playing with it a bit, but it has a new look. I also completed the main page of a clients website. I like this one, also designed the logo at the top.

Malach's Quote of the Day.
I need no bodyguard at all, for even the bravest men who approach me get weak at the knees and their hearts turn to water, whilst their heads become giddy and incapable of thinking as the sweat of fear paralyzes them.

Yes, 3 Million. Not bad for 18 months on the web. Latest Fat Bug is very popular even without advertising it on the CAD forums, over 800 unique views in 2 days. For that matter Fumble Pit I believe has the best first episode views with over 50 uniques in one day.
JesusMan! The latest if about 50% done. I might work late and finish quite a bit tonight. There is some interesting forshadowing for the upcoming episode in this WoW post. I just got off the phone with Murk, no one's dead yet.

Fumble Pit
New Webcomic.
That's right the Stool Sample Webcomics family is proud to annouce the addition of the title Fumble Pit. Episode 1.1 is loaded. Don't know much about it is but it looks to be a action comedy based upon Halo.
The Latest Fat Bug has had glowing reviews beside the one from Choas. But I must tell Choas since he is a CAD fan, he had the reaction every other fan of the webcomics the Fat Bug has destroyed had. In addition Malach was refused entry to the CAD forums . . . Now I hate them even more.
Now lets all give Hex a big cheer, submitted the new JesusMan! script and it is funny. I started on it today.

Fat Bug is back!
And you know he will never be wack!
Episode 1.6 of Fat Bug is now loaded! Fat Bug Destroys Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD). So far I am very surprised how many people hate CAD. In addition Blue Guy from Gluemeat continues sidekick duties and there is a quick cameo from Sarah Zero. So far I got mostly good reviews except for one. I posted in my Fan Mail?. Now I have made a decision. Unless I get a script for JesusMan! from Hex in the next few days, I am skipping the Wraith update, and doing the next Fat Bug; the next episode is going to be really weird.
Also, Twisted is supposed to be sending me a the next episode of Lying . . ., and Choas and one of his buddies have submitted a new webcomic to me, we are just sorting out the details.
The trials and tribulations of web design.
So, I was doing a update to a new client site, when we had some type of power outage and his old main page (I am redesigning it) went poof. So, I took a half hour a threw together a temporary home page for him. Guess, I will have to get on to finishing his site ASAP. I got headache now.

Malach's Quote of the Day.
There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining? is it snowing? is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? YES! The danger must be growing, for the rowers keep on rowing and they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing! - Willy Wonka

Baby Bitch, by Ween. Many of my readers will enjoy this song immensely . . . sing along.
It's been a while since I've seen you smile
But now you've come back again
Came into the room and you saw my girl
And you asked her how long it's been
"A year" she said and you shook your head
Said "I'm surprised it's gone on that long"
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
For words I am at a loss
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
I'm better now please fuck off
What else you gonna say when while you're backon your stay
Maybe something, maybe nothing, we'll see
It's just too bad, you're beautiful I guess
I wasn't for you and you weren't for me
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Please slip back into yourself
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Go conquer someone else
People say, "How beautiful, how sweet, how kind"
You're perfect, you've got nothing to hide
But I, for one, have seen the sun
And the bitch that you've locked up inside
Got fat, got angry, started hating myself
Wrote "Birthday Boy" for you babe
Now I'm skinny and sick and paranoid
Without a cent to my name
Baby, Baby, Baby Bitch
Fuck you, you stinkin' ass ho
Most beauty I've seen
you come from a dream
But I can't close my eyes anymore
No, I can't close my eyes anymore
Now don't you feel better?
