We won't wise up so how can we rise up

One of my long-time favourite bands, Reel Big Fish, has just released a new album. It's their first studio outing since becoming an independent band, and it's filled with fun, upbeat ska numbers punctuated by occasional jabs of silly sophomoric humour and bad words. If you think that sounds like a good time, you can check out two of the songs -- "Party Down" and "New Version of You" -- on the band's My Space page. (Although for my money, "Will the Revolution Come" is the track that really sold me on it.)

In other news, don't forget that the arbitrary t-shirt 3-pack sale will arbitrarily end at the end of this week. If you and/or your friends need 3 new shirts in your life, now is the time to act. But then, maybe you don't need 3 shirts. Maybe what you really need is a book. Or a poster. Or perhaps some sort of Sam and Fuzzy-branded goat!

(The goats on sale next week.)

Things you may have missed during the fervor of North American nation-celebrating earlier this week: a pair of extremely large Sam and Fuzzy comics ran on Monday and Wednesday, and discount t-shirt 3-packs reappeared in the online store!

See? Life on the internet keeps rolling on, even when you are busying yourself outside looking at fireworks and consuming questionably-priced beer.

Sorry today's comic is a little later than usual. This one was so enormous that it actually bent time itself.

Happy Independence Day, Americans! Enjoy your day off -- or alternately, your time-and-a-half statutory holiday wage. As for everyone else... stop reading comics and get back to work!

(Unless no one is looking, of course.)
