When I was somewhere around 8 years old, I discovered Calvin and Hobbes. And, being an 8-year-old who was so inclined, I cultivated my inner Calvin. I’d like to think that he’s still in there somewhere, causing mischief and imagining endless possibilities.
Except without that whole “peeing on things” tendency that he seems to manifest himself as on bumper stickers.
Although, now that I think of it, that’s a pretty good question. If you were a Calvin bumper sticker, what would you be peeing on? I think I would be peeing on people who don’t signal that they’re turning left until they’ve already entered an intersection and it’s too late to go around them. I suppose that doesn’t translate to a graphical medium all that well. Pity. I hate those people.
The best time to indulge your inner Calvin is after a strenuous triceps workout. You see, the thing about you triceps is, when you force them to lift heavy things, put them down and then repeat 11 more times… they tend to curl up. Much like the arms of a velociraptor. Which, let’s be honest, is the closest to a reason for making dinosaur noises as most of us are going to get. At least those of us who are older than about 12. Anyone who knows anything about Calvin and Hobbes knows that he was constantly imagining dinosaurs. And impersonating them.
I’m proud of my velociraptor arms. They mean that I really pushed myself at the gym.
And, you know, RAWR!!!!
I would definitely be peeing on Mario Lopez.
I would be peeing on the people that don’t circle the building to join the end of the drive-thru line. Another one that doesn’t translate to a graphical medium.
