would those be legal in the US? Just stopping every car passing a point and making the driver take the test

Theoretically you're supposed to have probable cause, but the definition of "probable cause" is pretty flexible when you're a traffic cop — hence the phrase "driving while black".

On big party nights (Halloween, New Years') in college towns it's not uncommon for the cops to set up a roadblock and breathalyze everyone passing by. I'm not sure what the legalities of this are.

Which leads onto one of my big Just Bugs Me; the assumption in the courts, by judges and juries both, that cops are honest and have absolutely no incentive to lie, to shade the truth, or even to misremember.

And the fact that you get thrown off the jury if you admit to having doubts about this.

The picture + caption for The Punisher makes me laugh uncontrollably for some reason.

I feel like I've already let everyone down who was anticipating Seafoam.

Not everyone. Your two pieces have only built up more anticipation from me.

Same here. It's only just started, so I haven't really had anything to say, but it looks good.

Is anybody else getting weirdness from the go-to-page links at the bottom of posts?

It's just a little frustrating, I guess, that not everyone knows the characters/plot/setting as well as me. It's sort of exciting, though. They're entirely new to most people. No one except me and my longtime friend even knows their names.

So you're in on a conspiracy that nobody else is (but your friend), and you can Mind Screw us. Sounds fun.

I find your comic exciting because well...as you said I don't the characters or setting like you do. I also have little idea of what to expect. It's a complete suprise. I like those and I'm liking what I've seen so far.

So keep up with hitting me with things I won't expect. Those sorts of experiences are some of the most fun I think.

How does one displace a vein in their penis? I mean, I know how it can happen, but what exactly is it?

I watched the Leeroy Jenkins video yesterday. Did people really think that it was genuine? "Can you do a quick number crunch?" "Yeah, our chances are... 32.33%, repeating of course." Yeah, right.

@Made Of Meat: What.

Is it so annoying to feel old at 19? I can't be the fearful child who grows up into something better anymore...

I feel old at 14. Currently seeking eternal youth.

It's just a question. Because the guy didn't go to the hospital or anything, he said he just pushed the vein back into place.

I've never had a vein go "out of place" anywhere, that I can remember. Does that really happen?

I don't know! As an aspiring doctor, I need to be informed. What the heck happened? He mentioned it so casually.

I remember it was in the news that a guy made himself faint at a nightclub by putting a cucumber in his crotch and cutting off blood flow.

Wait, is this someone you know, Meat?

How did a man put a cucumber in his crotch?

Maybe, for all I know. It was an anonymous site.

There was no incentive for lying. Well, maybe. It was sort of an injury thread.

I imagine you can displace a vein anywhere in your body.

He didn't put it in the urethra, he was faking an erection.

What are you doing on anonymous sites, hmm? [sternface]
