For about the 16th time…
aLp IS BACK.
Every week. Tuesdays. At least. That means another new update four days from now!
Go ahead, make your jokes. By this point, “Bernie is like the Rolling Stones. This was only the first of many Farewell Concerts” (- Jack H.). You can choose not to believe me ’til I make it through a couple of months without running away again. That’s cool, I deserve it.
For what it’s worth, my break from aLp finally “took” and I feel like I wanna do this again. That’s the key difference. The last time I came back I did it cuz I thought I had to. Now I just want to. If it doesn’t last, so be it. Whatever happens I’m gonna make sure I enjoy it the whole time. Hope you do too.
I got a favor to ask you all though. If we’re gonna do this right then please get the word out. Tell all your friends, email your mom, tweet your twitters, spam all the people on your Myspace page that you pretend to know, nominate me for a Cabinet position. Join the aLp Facebook group. Come back to the mailing list. Link me on your blog. If you had a link, but took it down, that’s cool, I won’t hold it against you as long as you put me back up. This way, I’ll be a TOTAL TWAT-HOLE if I quit again.
As for If You See Something… I’ll be doing that too, but probably not as much. What I’ll probably do is not be so scared of putting those comics here on aLp. I learned I really shouldn’t have started a brand new comic site when you all come here anyway. That was a mistake. I’ll keep that site running, but you’ll probably see some non-aLp stuff here occasionally… in all cases you can count on a steady dose of Abe and Preston.
ALSO, GUESS WHAT I’M HAVING A:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS/THE ECONOMY WHAT THE FUCK/CLEAR OUT INVENTORY T-SHIRT SALE!
From now ’til the end of the year (or I run out of inventory) the official aLp t-shirt is 25% off for both men and women - that’s $12 instead of $16 (+ shipping)!!! NO WAY!!!
I’m already out of Men’s XL, and I may be running low on other sizes (I dunno, I need to check when I get home!), but otherwise this is your chance to be EVEN SEXIER THAN YOU ARE and proudly wear aLp across your (non-Men’s-XL, but Women’s XL is very welcome) chest without breaking the bank. And it makes a great Christmas gift for your favorite Used-to-read-but-got-sick-of-the-lack-of-updates aLp fan!
Those of you who already bought a t-shirt this year at the regular price, I’ve got a way you can get a retroactive discount! Email me and ask me how!
Here’s the latest new photos of fans showing off the shirt! First is Kevin, who is awesome cuz he posed next to an actual Alien but is not helping things by covering the shirt design. Then, Tara, who was already in the gallery but sent in a new shot to replace her old one. Lastly, who has 2 thumbs and loves aLp? James.

Jurybreak
I did get dismissed from jury duty last week after they interviewed me for 30 seconds, but after I’d sat there doing absolutely nothing for 12 hours over 2 days. I learned a lot of interesting stuff about the process from watching and listening to everything go down, and from all the folks who emailed or twittered their jury duty stories to me - thanks…
From the dark depths of my kids’ imaginations
The scariest movie I’ve ever watched with my kids is, seriously, Finding Nemo. Yet it’s like Elaine just pulls random things from my horror movie collection for them when I’m not looking, judging from the drawings that come out of their imaginations.
The 5th picture below looked to me like some sort of H.R. Giger inspired Alien; thanks to reader Wendy for pointing out it’s a dead ringer for Onyx from Pokemon.
Happy Halloween! And let’s hope you don’t see my kids on the news tonight.
Achievement Unlocked: 10 Years
Today is my 10th wedding anniversary with Elaine. That’s crazy.
We’re on our way down to a gorgeous place near New Hope, PA for our first ever weekend without the kids! I’ll be live-blogging the whole thing, especially during our fireside massages*.
Today it’s incredible outside so when we get there we’ll be doing some lakeside biking. I’m happy to see Elaine’s wearing her aLp t-shirt that she looks totally hot in.
Happy anniversary baby, I love you.
* No I won’t.
Hey my buddy Noah and I are starting an official aLp Killzone 2 clan, just for fun, just to find some more cool folks to frag around with. If we get enough people we’ll make clan-only rooms where we’ll blow each other’s heads up. If you can’t/don’t wanna join the clan, that’s cool; we can just be friends. All skill levels welcome. If you’re interested, leave a comment here or email me with your PSN ID, your email address, and where you’re from and you’ll get an invite.
The aLp fridge magnets are back in stock! The first thing I did was plaster the mini-fridge at my office (click on the photo to the left - no the pics of my kids are not for sale).
Get yours today! Or you can come see me at my table at I-Con on April 3-5, and I’ll personally hand it to you.
Thanks to everyone who submitted photos for the Be in aLp contest! Here’s the 6 winners for your pleasurable convenience…
Thanks for all the emails and Facebook messages wishing me a happy birthday on Sunday! Not only does the internet have a way of skyrocketing the number of people who want to wish you a quick happy birthday, it also (thankfully) cuts down on the number of phone calls you have to answer. No offense to my brother, my aunt, and my mother-in-law!
Just wanted to share the birthday cards my (3-year-old) kids made for me. Here’s Rachel’s - ignore the writing:
In case it’s not obvious to you, I’m the figure on the left, Rachel’s the one diagonally down from that, and Adrian’s the one on the right, fittingly with a cupcake in its mouth.
Adrian drew what looks to be a facehugger or something attacking me:
WTF.
How would you like to star in an official aLp episode?
Saw this sign today. Can anyone figure out what it means?
I’m on vacation! So I’m coming back at you next week on Tuesday! Even though I’m at peace with going this week without an update, you can go ahead and make fun of me if you want. I’m cool with it. All I know is aLp is still weekly after my week off and I’m still having fun.
I am hard at work on something - a birthday present for Elaine, who turns umpty-ump tomorrow! I’d show you what it is but there is the very, very small chance she might read this (she usually comes by only when the mailing list tells her to). All I’ll say is it does require a lot of the same activities that go into aLp. LIKE PROCRASTINATING LOLLLL
These are the two best things I got for Christmas:
Honestly I don’t know which one I love better. Joray Fruit Rolls are so good I literally almost cry when I eat them. They’re better than sex, at least in that they’re a whole lot cheaper to have 6 at a time. Thank you Elaine, for getting them for me, and also for forgiving me for that last sentence.
So yeah I got a PS3 too, which is really not good for getting anything done. I’m playing Prince of Persia right now, though it looks like LittleBigPlanet’s on the horizon. When I get a PSN ID, I’ll let you all know what it is, unless, like photos of me wearing my suit made of Joray Fruit Rolls, it’s something that should be kept private.
Reminder, follow me on Twitter which I seem to be able to update kinda frequently, and become a fan of aLp on Facebook, if for no other reason than all the cool people are doing it.
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
