I am in love with Surviving The World for 3 reasons.
1. It is hilarious. Always, always–hilarious is the first qualifier.
2. Dante, the writer, is as smart as Courtney Stodden is riddled with self-esteem issues and cold sores.
3. I have a small crush on Dante.
The lovely Myth recommended him to me, and I’m so very glad she did. His board writings are at times poignant, hilarious, and intelligent, and sometimes his dog shows up in a lab coat. A word of warning, if you put your dog in a lab coat and glasses, I am pretty much indebted to you for life.
Go check out the rest, I’m sure you’ll be sucked in all day long. Keep bringing the funny, y’all!
– I cannot tell you how much your comment meant to me on Wednesday. I’ve been really struggling hard for a while and needed so badly to put a voice to how I felt. You all gave me permission to share who I am with you, permission to be not funny, permission to hurt for a little while. I cried reading almost every comment and email because they meant the world to me and made me feel so…normal. Words cannot describe how much you’ve helped me. I felt better today than I have in weeks, and I owe it all to you guys. Thank you so much for reading, for commenting, and most of all, for sharing your stories and being who you are. I love you all.Was I Funnier Than Your Grandma? Tell Others:

We need to hook Dante up with Alex, Max and Gina and watch the shenanigans ensue.

I’d pay to see that quality material.

@FDN: NEVER.
@Jen: Holy…holy shit.
Hint for the visually-impaired and the unobservant: at the bottom right corner of every comic, there is a “File Under:” line which contains a joke of its own.
And the archive page has its own jokes too.
It’s three jokes for the price of one. Hot damn, what a deal! Am I right?
Also he is attractive. It’s a four-way deal, motherfuckers!
I’m totally against Whaling and the movie The Cove depressed me, so I’m probably going to hell for laughing so hard at “You could make a krilling”…but that’s funny.

I love jokes like that. You want to hate them but you just can’t stop laughing.
Hahahahah I’m hooked. Batteries that run on blood? So I COULD become mostly robot one day in the future!!
Mayor Gia recently posted..Friday Photographs!
Then when the internet asks if you are a robot, it is way more reasonable.
Ally recently posted..Mindy is not a Weenie.
@Gia: I imagine that’s a cause/effect thing. 1st the robots, then the destruction of humans, then they use our blood like fossil fuels. Damn that’s morbid.
@Ally: Exactly.
Oh my dear God, just when I was stressing out because I was running out of things to do instead of stuff I have to do, you bring me this. Bless you, Noa. BLESS YOU.
Kelly recently posted..Oh, Internet… Quit making me be so serious.
Ummm, exCUUUUUSE me, Kelly. When you run out of things to do you’re supposed to be texting me, you silly girl! How else will we plan out springtime P-Town adventure? :)
Jen recently posted..Stupidest Crap Ever Spoken By Me and My Friends: Part10
See, this is why I need you, Jen. You make me prioritize. ;)
Kelly recently posted..Misty, you shouldn’t have.
@Kelly: I am always there for you on Fridays.
@Jen: I imagine that will result in arrest. Immediate arrest.
Oh my word, how have I never heard of Dante before now? This is perfect for my Friday morning funk!

Enjoy!
Have you seen his “Dead Map of D.C.” and his bar graph outlining our perceived impotance of a college education? All of this made me wonder how his brain was structured until I realized that he had a PhD in engineering. . .suddenly it all made sense. And now I want to have his babies.

As someone whose husband was a grad student for 8 years, there was a particular board he did about the magnetic attraction of free food after seminars. I’m sure that’s something you can relate to as well.
Mandi E. recently posted..WTF Friday – Sexytime Scares
@Jen: YES! He is fucking crazy brilliant and I love that he puts it all out there so we can enjoy his delicious smartness.
@Mandi: That. Sounds. Awesome.
I love that guy & his site too!
Your ps was very touching. <3<3<3
asplenia recently posted..Hooonestyyy (sorry, I cannot SEE that word without channeling Billy Joel)
Awwwww. Thanks!
I love Surviving The World! His facial expressions are priceless! Glad you’re feeling a little better – keep your chin up – we’re all rooting for you! :)

His crazy faces are makin’ me feel a little better!
I just saw a cat in a lab coat! Yes.
Carrie – Cannibalistic Nerd recently posted..Here’s a picture of a dog stacked on another dog because I don’t have much going on right now and don’t want to turn my brain on.
Your gynecologist?
I love Dante! He reminds me a lot of my husband when he and his nerdy coworkers get together so I also have a small crush. I also love his raptor impressions: http://survivingtheworld.net/Lesson241.html.

Great pick this week! I haven’t been this excited since Jen and Misty were featured!
Mandi E. recently posted..WTF Friday – Sexytime Scares
Oh dinosaur impressions. You make everything so much better.
Also, his dog is a bassett hound named German; German Shepard. And he calls his wife “the Swede”. And puts up with some horribly bitchy cats. That’s a hell of a man right there.
Mandi E. recently posted..WTF Friday – Sexytime Scares
I LOVE his dog. It makes me smile so. Also, that lucky whore of a wife.
I’ve spent hours upon hours just going through them. …and I thought blogging took time; chalkboards must be horrible.
Sedge | noob-dad recently posted..Baby-Proofing Pains
It’s a timesuck, that’s for sure. You get caught on there and you stay forever and ever.
Hilarious. I must remember to buy a lab coat, maybe then my mother will take me seriously.
Well shit. I’m off to the medical supply store for a lab coat.
Dude, where’s the dog? My tripodian puffster is looking for a companion, preferably one that can pull off a lab coat well enough to write her fake prescriptions, and I wanted to show her a picture.
This is my dog who wants the drugs, mind you. Not me.
Nope.
Dana the Biped recently posted..Do You Think Craigslist Has Anyone Looking for a Professional Mourner? ‘Cause I Could Totally Do That.
Thank you so much for filling my heart with adorable joy at the words, “tripodan puffster.”
I really am trying not to look. It’s not easy but there is so…. much….. stuff….. to …. do. Crap.

Thank you. I will add him to my list of things to waste my time. He is very funny.

This blog is definitely going to make a krilling.
