    I commend him for speaking his mind. Douche or not, at least someone still believes in Freedom.

    @Jim-Bob: you can't use the Calvin image - unless you pay Watterson licensing fees.


    then you need to pay a graphic designer to make the sticker - unless you know photoshop?


    then you have to pay the Chinese to actually print the sticker. the Chinese make everything Americans buy - it's the American way!


    then, shipping fees. US postage.


    oh and, of course, taxes!


    so you're looking at about $2500?

    @Unregular: Well, he could always be a true American and just steal the Calvin image without paying licensing fees. Plus, I don't think all those Calvin peeing stickers are licensed anyways. I don't think Watterson is willing to license his characters for that sort of stuff.

    "Carbon footprint" is a buzzword that the libtards use to make everyone else feel guilty for even exhaling CO2. In response, I am with Dennis. I promise to leave my car idling 24/7 and a fire in the fireplace all year.


    Libtards, you wanted him, now we all got him. Thanks a lot.

    @California Stig: Which is where we all yell "DEFEATIST" and go enable 3/4 of the world to do the same.


    Electric, diesel, hydrogen? Good deal.


    More usage of renewable energy and the couple centuries' worth of coal we have left (while we work out the logistics)? Sure.


    Higher-yielding crop varieties? Definitely.


    The possibilities are endless.

    1) Get an agent.


    2) Talk to Denis for tips on pissing people off.


    3) Do just the opposite of what he tells you, because you know he's not going to tell you the truth, he has a reputation as an asshole to live up to.

    Someone is recycling his themes again...."You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. Hot pink! With whale-skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights! Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 MPH, getting one mile per gallon, suckin' down Quarter-Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable Styrofoam container and when I'm done suckin' down those grease-ball burgers, I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag, and I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs. That's why! Two words! Nuclear fuckin' weapons, okay? Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want. They can have a big democracy cake and walk right through the middle of Tiananmen Square and it won't make a lickin' difference cause we got the bombs, okay?" - Denis Leary, No Cure For Cancer 1992

    @Scroggzilla: He recycles to offset his carbon footprint. If he had to think of new material, it would take a lot of thought, and paper, and ink, and takeout food and cigarettes.


    Thankfully, he hasn't employed new material since the mid 90s
