Attention, GMail Users!

June 9, 2009
I’m getting a lot of e-mails from GMail users, saying they’re not getting their daily Sheldon-by-Email delivery in their inbox.

For some reason, GMail’s filters are handling Sheldon like spam. (Boo, GMail!) To fix that, just do this:

Go into your GMail account, click on “Contacts” (should be on the lower-left side of the screen), and add this e-mail address as one of your “new” contacts:

[email protected]

Even Google can be lame, sometimes…but this should fix it.

Observation o’ the Day

June 7, 2009
You’ve boarded your plane, you’ve found your seat, and you’re waiting for everyone else to board. Awesome.

You look out the window, down at all the utility vehicles drivin’ around the plane, and that’s where things get weird:

These trucks aren’t just modified Fords and Chevys: They’re weird, squished, alternate-universe permutations of normal road vehicles. Ain’t nobody at an airport driving anything approximating a “car” or a “truck”: These are vehicles that look like they should be drivin’ around the town of Stumpyville. Like they should be driven by Gimli, son of Gloin.

The dwarves fled the fires of Smaug, my friends, and are now baggage handlers.

YOU CAN NOT UNLEARN THIS FACT.

On Bad Surnames

June 3, 2009
There’ve been a few funny e-mails regarding the recent strips. Mostly stories of local businesses in their town, such as “Crapo Insurance” or “Crapo Transmission Repair”….stuff like that. But Sheldon reader Ginger S. wrote in with one of my favorites:

“Just wanted to say I’ve been laughing really hard at the Crapo storyline right now, mainly because I have a Crapo story, too. The Crapo family donated money to my undergrad university to remodel a building into a theatre. Normally the school would have named the theatre building after the family but the idea of the Crapo Theatre made them change their minds. Over 20 years later the theatre is still called the New Theatre. There’s a lovely plaque in their honor…but the idea of the Crapo Theatre always made me laugh. “

Ha! I love it. “Crapo Theatre” particularly cracks me up.

Cake Wrecks

May 28, 2009
Sheldonista Sanna S. sent me a link to a hilarious blog, the other day, and I thought I’d share it with you. It’s a blog that shares all sorts of terrible cakes made by “professionals”. Or, as the blog terms it “When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.”

Ladies and Gents, I present Cake Wrecks.

Sneak Peek: The Next Sheldon Book!

May 26, 2009
I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the next Sheldon book, Living Dangerously (With Saturated Fats). Mainly just to share pictures of a duck belly-floppin’ into cake. [Click for a larger image]

And, since you can’t really read the text, there, let me blow that part up:

For those wondering: The book *will* be available at San Diego Comic-Con, as well as the July(?) book-launch party in Los Angeles, and in the store by August.
