I called BP on the way to the comic book store today. He told me I should write a song for comic book day. So I did. I'll issue the warning I like to give out from time to time. If you're trying to maintain any sort of sexual attraction to me: skip this post. It is equal parts nerdy and gay. Now, without further ado:

Comic Book Day
by Patrick Drury

Comic book day, Comic book day
Wednesday is Comic book day

It's the day new books arrive
It makes me glad to be alive

One day a week, I'm a nerd
But Thursday I'm back above the heard

I drive to town on my lunch break
cause if I miss an issue, my heart will break

So that's my curse my secret shame
But at least I'm not a Trekkie, god they're lame!

Comic book day, Comic book day
Every Wednesday is Comic book daaaayyyyy...


dorky, and yet expresses my own joy about comic book day- before I gave it up to save for New Zealand- woe is I for I miss the sweet aroma of comic books...  


I was never so nerdy as to go to the comic book store once a week. ... I had a subscription.

Take that as you will.  


... and nice song.  


... the tune in my head was "Particle Man" by They Might Be Giants  


I had subscriptions when I was little. Now, though, I don't want to be locked into a book for 12 issues if I decide I suddenly don't like a book any longer.  


I didn't conciously make that the tune, but it actually kinda fits. Weird.  


The song sounds so much better with the Partical Man Tune, but it still sucks.  


After singing it a few times, it isn't that bad. I'm going to need you to sing the song with the Partical Man instrumental in the background and convert it to MP3 format. I will then take this from you, by force if I must, and convert the file with iTunes and then transfer it onto my iPod. It all seems too easy.  


dude, your warning should include ANYONE, not just those sexually attracted to you.

i think you're hideous, but i used to enjoy your company anyway. now i think it's best if we never speak again.  


It was your idea!!  


Since I suggested Particle Man as the music... i should be given credit... or at least thanked in the liner notes.  


Everybody wants to be touched by fame.  


And touch you, I shall.  


Really? Are you kidding me?  


Shut up.  


I'm not sure if I'm honored, or scared.  


"Dorky"
"I was never so nerdy."
"it still sucks."
"I think you're hideous"
"Really? Are you kidding me?"

Clearly, this will stand as my most roundly mocked post of all time. I'm glad you were all here to share it with me.  


I still heart you.

XOXO,

The lead graphic artist of the Patrick Drury Graphics Department  


Lead graphic artist? You're the whole department!  


Well, I was thinking of putting some money into the department and hire some hot interns.  


Maybe my Home For Wayward Teen Starlets could start some kind of work study program.  


They could work on graphics for me and hopefully improve your lack of song writing. Genius!  


As of now, you, BP and Jennifer are all on the shit list. BP and Jennifer were already there, so you're really the only new addition.  


Wha, wha, what?!? I said I liked your song! I was gonna put it on my iPod and everything. SO consider me not on your shit list.  


You also said my song writing skills needed improvings, hence: The shit list. Once you're on it, there's really only one way off and I don't think you're up to it.  


I bought you a Hawaiian dash board dancer from Hawaii, but made in China. I traveled almost the entire globe to get that for you. So...consider me off your list.  


Now, I feel bad. Okay, you're off.  


If being on your shit list means thinking you're a nerd for writing a comic book day song or for having a comic book day in the first place, then consider me happy to be at the top of your list.  


That's hilarious! That Jennifer is good people.  


James, please don't encourage Jennifer. She's just lashing out because I made fun of her for thinking David Letterman is sexy. And John Cusack. And Adrian Brody. Clearly she's a very confused young woman.  


My wife also loves John Cusak and she doesn't care for the way you talk about him. She says if you want to know why women love John Cusak all you have to do is watch "Say Anything".

Apparently after playing Lloyd Dobler he can do no wrong.  


Have you seen his arms? It's like he dipped them in honey and swept up a barber shop floor with them. I have hairy forearm envy, I'm sorry.  


Does your wife know that he's not really Lloyd Dobler? I've heard terrible things about him from P.Dirty, who knows Steve Zahn. Steve Zahn didn't actually tell him any of these things, but still.

Also, James is right. He's got gorilla forearms.  


I know he has hairy arms, I'm not the one in love with him.

I guess none of that matters because all she sees is Lloyd Dobler.  


That's a good point. She is in love with a character. What if Lloyd Dobler was portrayed by Anthony Michael Hall?

Robin Williams has gorilla arms too.
