Kudos to you, sir.
This morning on the subway I was sitting next to a man in a suit drawing on one of those cool laptops with the flip around screens that can be used a a writing tablet – like this:
Was he using it to draw a technological model? Work on spreadsheets? Create businessy powerpoint slides? Nope. He was drawing a dick and balls. Not just any dick and balls – a dick that shoots fire! That, or a circumcised dragon. Either way I got off the train before he got a chance to give it a wicked guitar to play.
New technology – always best used for pornography.

Way back in the day when I lived in NJ and worked in Manhattan, I took the long train ride to and fro with a friend of mine who owned a Sony MagicLINK. This was a black & white tablet device. It had an application that let you draw pictures, too.
So, when my friend was bored enough to give it up I’d take it and draw (very badly; I have the artistic skills of a skill-less 1st grader) pictures.
One of my favorites was entitled “Home for the Holidays.” It depicted a house in the middle of a snowy field at night. Through the windows, stick-figure merry makers could be seen cavorting around the fireplace and table laden with holiday fare. On the front door step was another stick-figure, prone on the cold stone, one hand reaching out to the doorknob. Too late. Too late.
For a long time he kept those pictures, but I doubt he still has them. Shame, too.

You have to admit, that if you had all that technology at your fingertips, you too would draw boobies belching obscenities and cake decorations at a crowd of saddened penises penises.

Absolutely. That is exactly what I would draw.

Maybe he had that condition Seth from Superbad had. Superbad was a documentary, didn’t you know that?
