A Long Time Ago We Used to be Friends
Coming up empty while trolling for story ideas at Drudge or Free Republic, Stantis decided to give Popular Science a whirl for what I'm sure will be his lamest week ever. The Mars Rover?! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn.
If *I* were in charge of coming up with strip ideas for Prickly City, *I* would have opted for a Veronica Mars Rover storyline, in which Miss Mars has to traverse the mountainous terrain that is my bedroom and solve the mystery of why my pants can't unbuckle fast enough...
...Um...
Oh, wait, did I say *my* bedroom and *my* pants?? Whoops. I meant to say WINSLOW'S bedroom and WINSLOW'S pants! My bad. Bad, CJo! Very bad, CJo!
Question: What's black and white, smells like turtle, and is fuzzy all over?
Answer: A Condi-Veronica-Shelly-Winslow sandwich!

Speaking of Popular Science ...
I remember reading it as a kid and considered the magazine a peek into what adult life might be like. You know, houses that clean themselves, robot servants, homes in low earth orbit.
But there was one thing I read that I really was looking forward to.
So, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE FLYING CARS WE WERE PROMISED?

I LOVE Veronica Mars. CJo, you should have told me ages ago that you were a fan.
As for today's strip, is Stantis questioning our space program's ability to place a rover on Mars? It seems as though he's implying that they staged the landing in the Arizona/New Mexico desert, hence why Winslow is able to ride it.

Those muscular, sculpted arms...the chiseled jaw-line...the large hands...the unsolved mystery there: is that a woman?

It looks like Winslow won some of his lawsuits, so now he has cash to pay for his Mars rover. I wonder who represented him - maybe he found a member of the Republican Trial Lawyers Caucus - you know, the kind of trial lawyer who hates plaintiffs and intentionally loses cases so that doctors and businesses aren't unnecessarily burdened when they screw up.

Best line from last week's Veronica Mars came from the health teacher: "Just wait to see how much you're sneezing when you have gonhorrea."
