I love you.
oh god! tacoma humor! HILARIOUS (this makes me a grump i guess. oh well.)
I actually just rented a house in Tacoma, so there’s really nothing funny about it at all.
@3 I thought you rented a house on Alki Beach? I was so excited about your party in November.

I was just kidding about renting a house in Tacoma.
I am still going to have a party. There’s going to be a piñata!
never hand a grump a piñata stick
I see someone just discovered graphjam.
I want to put on my pajamas, crawl inside your brain and eat cereal.
derek erdman = demetri martin rip-off. next.
I want to get into my pjs, crawl into your brain and eat cereal there.
This very comment was extremely well thought out, cheerful, and meticulously written.
Thank you for your time.
I have discovered Demetri Martin and I am graphjam! In Akron, Ohio a woman in a laundromat is planning a triple kegger.
I am careful not to laugh at myself as my self-esteem was relentlessly bullied throughout my twenties.
I like this.. can he please not be yet another music reviewer? I’m more interested in Derek’s thoughts on the world.
Although… why do 15-year-olds do drugs and have sex, but not text? Hmm.
What’s up with these Tacoma-ians (?) anyway. Where are they (in Seattle) and what’ve they got to say?
tacoma is to seattle as beaverton is to portland.
I don’t understand the choice of a line chart for the data set: “The Tone of Ira Glass’ Voice over the Years”. This graphic would imply some sort of a quantitative relationship in which:
Ennui < Enthused < Apathy (Extreme) < …
What the hell is “Enthused” doing between those other two? What sort of a continuum is this supposed to be? I’m quite perplexed.
Beaverton is the Lynnwood of Portland. Vancouver is the Tacoma.
I appreciate that Calebs make such an impression on your mind, but I’ve only met like three others and only two of them spell it the right way.
they don’t actually pay you to do this do they, in this economy? Aren’t the weak already eaten by now?
Like a turkey nearing the end of November, watch your back Derek, they are on to you. Cartoonists and Poets go first.
I’M GONNA TONGUE PUNCH YOUR MOM’S FART BOX , THEN READ A BOOK. WHAT ? THIS ISN’T TOSH.0 ? NEVERMIND.
:p
The name “graph police” is funny.
This makes me grumpy, and I don’t mean thinkin’-ly.
Mr Derek, wtf is timecube?
It’s a little tough to explain Time Cube in a comments section, but I can give you this information about it’s creator from Wikipedia: “Before Time Cube, Gene Ray advocated the sport of marbles. He authored a book titled Mr. Marbles – Marbles for Everyone, and got the city council of St. Petersburg, Florida to proclaim a “Marbles Week” in the 1970s. In 1987, this became a controversial attempt to establish a million dollar marble tournament inside a huge round structure and establish a philosophical “Order of the Sphere”.”
I’m Grumpy because I want to hate on this, but it’s some of the funniest shit that’s been in the Stranger for awhile. Granted, it’s a less-funny version of what you find on TheOnion, but still.
Stop trashing on the hinterlands: Tacoma, Lwood, Vancouver. At least a guy can go there and drink a few with a sexy woman and have decent odds of taking her home. Seattle seems to turn Women’s vaginas off – and the Men INTO vaginas.
“Thinkin’ Grumps” is probably my new favorite phrase.
The “Online Commentators” should have been a Venn Diagram! But “iPods”, I laughed my ass off!
“Teens” and “Names” are based on the same histogram. Explain.
Demetri Martin is hilarious! Oh wait, you’re not Demetri Marting? Nevermind.
I live in Tacoma, but take college classes in Seattle, and am moving to Seattle.
I agree with the Tacoma humor.
I enjoy Piñatas 🙂
