No alt text?

So, is it official that "Friday Funnies" should not be considered to be the "Friday Fun Link"?

[Lamar]

Strangely excellent.

[Pro Libertate]

So, who is Don Quixote?

[Don Quixote]

"so who is Don Quixote?"

Don Quixote: Hear me now, oh, the bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banner all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

Chorus:
I am I, Don Quixote, the lord of La Mancha
Destroyer of evil am I
I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory
forever to conquer or die

Sancho:
I am Sancho, yes I am Sancho
I follow my master till the end
I'll tell all the world proudly
I'm his squire, I'm his friend

Hear me heathens, and wizards, and servants of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!

Chorus + Sancho's Part overlapping
CHORUS:
I am I, Don Quixote, the lord of La Mancha
My destiny calls and I go
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh whither so ever they blow
Both:
Wither so ever they blow
Onward to glory I go!

[Pro Libertate]

Man of La Mancha,

That does not answer my question.

[Fred]

No, strangely stupid. reason and cato have to be the biggest shills for oil i've ever seen in my life. freedom is supposed to be about innovation but you have the worst kind of group think -- stem cells, GREAT; alt energy, DUMB.

KMW, neither you nor this cartoon nor anything you write is funny. thank you for convincing me never to come back to this site.

[Jamie Kelly]

So, who is Don Quixote?

Jesus, Pro Lib, you fucking idiot. It's pronounced "Quixote," not "Quixote."

[Jamie Kelly]

Fred,
Nice of you to stop by to check in on us libertarians!
Now go ass-fuck your daughter with a splintery toilet plunger.

[Pro Libertate]

Oh, sorry. You got me.

[Randy Quixote]

"So, who is Don Quixote?"

He's my cousin.

[SippyCup]

"Now go ass-fuck your daughter with a splintery toilet plunger."

Or you can pay me to do that.

[Pro Libertate]

Okay, so who is Don Quixote's--excuse me, Don Quixote's--father's son?

[Randy Quixote]

"Don Quixote's--father's son?"

My aunt's brother Don.

[TofuSushi]

That was quite Quixotesque.

[Rimfax]

Thanks, Fred, I needed that drink. Sure you don't won't to mention how unReasonable everyone is here? That bottle's not gonna drink itself you know.

[Rimfax]

Reason has lots to learn from xkcd about alt-text.

[Rimfax]

Knowing xkcd, Don Quixote,...sorry, Don Quixote, in this case is probably related to the guy with the hat. In other words, not someone real, unless it's a cybernetic Richard Stallman or Cory Doctorow.

[David]

That was quite Quixotesque.

That's a club in Madrid where they serve peyote.

[Xmas]

My favorite is the Little Bobby Tables comic:

Dynamic SQL is not your friend.

[Grant]

"That's a club in Madrid where they serve peyote."

Got an address?

[OrFindThePlunger]

Fred,

"Is it possible your pragmatical worship should not know that the comparisons made between wit and wit, courage and courage, beauty and beauty, birth and birth, are always odious and ill taken?"

[Lamar]

They outsource Sancho to India or something?

[JB]

Ah, I just love the billionaire Pickens get on TV and spend millions asking the government for more money.

[doh]

Sancho was headed into town for supplies. Only to be subsequently captured and in need of rescue.

Oh crap wrong duo on horses(or mule), that was the lone ranger.

[Pro Libertate]

Sancho's just off frame.

[phalkor]

stop abusing my language!

it's Quixotic, not Quixotesque!

now you've done it, you hit a new low you inbred culinary abomination!

[FTG]

KMW, neither you nor this cartoon nor anything you write is funny. thank you for convincing me never to come back to this site.

Promises, promises . . .

[Seer]

I'm enjoying this xkcd site.

[Tripp]

KMW, don't listen to FTG. You're great. However, I do think you need to subscribe to the RSS feed at isxkcdshittytoday.com before you post any other strips to Hit and Run.

[FTG]

Tripp, baby, I was mocking Fred...

[FTG]

That's a club in Madrid where they serve peyote.

They serve peyote in Madrid? Gee, our exports sure have diversified!

[Umbriel]

"Al Gore, you've doomed us all!"

Almost certain to be my last words.

Thanks! BTW, here's one of Reason's friends that's been free of the Exxon taint since 2006!

I'm just surprised that Reason hasn't started and never ceased warning people about the dangers of things like this. Maybe they're waiting for SproingSproing to cover it first.

[EJM]

Question: Who was Don Quixote's loyal sidekick?
Bill: Pancho Sanza.
Bob Eubanks: No.
Tom Poston: Sancho Panza.
Bob Eubanks: Yes.
Bill: What did I say?
Bob: Pancho Sanza.
Bill: Oh. Serribly Torry.

[Tonio]

KMW, neither you nor this cartoon nor anything you write is [intentionally] funny.

Well, he got that part right, at least.

thank you for convincing me never to come back to this site.

Everybody wins!

Hopefully you're not firing a heap of fake treasure out of your ass when doing so.

"Hopefully you're not firing a heap of fake treasure out of your ass when doing so."

LOL. Thanks!

[Nooge]

When I was a kid in California, I felt the exact same way.

[Son]

Libertarians and humor don't mix.

xkcd sucks: Comic 556: 21st century threats require 17th century solutions/a>

[Jim Walsh]

Well, it's more clever than that supid weekly "cartoon" they run in the New York Times Sunday magazine...

[The Wine Commonsewer (You can]

Those fookin' things are a blight upon the land.

[wizard of oz books]

With many new announcement about the wizard of oz movies in the news, you might want to consider starting to obtain Wizard of Oz book series either as collectible or investment at RareOzBooks.com.
