#170 – Wax

It’s always interesting how long it takes things to get through the mail. I’ve had many things go incredibly fast and a few things never arrive. I think my favorite moment was when I was living in Boston and my father sent me a xmas gift. I was quite surprised to hear the doorbell ring at 5pm on xmas day. I opened the door and a FedEx delivery person cheerfully handed me my package.

    I actually wanna try that to see if it works… XD
    Reminds me of waxing your modem, and elevating it so the 1’s and 0’s can flow downhill without getting stuck.

  2. T.S. says:

    “You’re waxing your modem… tryin’ to make it go faster”
    I have Weird Al stuck in my head, now… >.>
    “All about the Pentiums! Yah!”

    T.S. . . . do you live in your parents cellar, downloading pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar?????

  4. T.S. says:

    No… and I’m definitely not as useless as jpegs to Helen Keller…

    Waxing the letter also stops you from slicing yourself with it.

  7. JustMe says:

    T.S. do you have a commodore 64?

  8. Chris says:

    Thanks Zheden. I hope you are doing well.

  9. T.S. says:

    Used to… I thought it was pretty neato…
    By the way… how’s that dorito workin’ out for you?

  10. Pickleduck McWeaselpants says:

    That’s the dumbest great idea I’ve ever seen. Beautiful.

  11. Chris says:

    Thanks Mr. Weaselpants. 🙂

  12. I work at a t-shirt company that ships thousands of shirts through the mail. We’ve seen all kinds of weird stuff, including packages that mysteriously arrive a couple of months after they were due with no indication of what held them up. (The USPS does a great job with 99.9% of packages, though.)

    Now I find out we’re supposed to be waxing the envelopes!

    Thanks for the PSA, Chris! ^_^

    I’ve actually wanted to try something like this before but for some odd reason my mom stopped me goign on about where she went wrong with me or something…i dunno.. anyway i’ve been reading for a week now and decided to say something today. found the link on BnG and i’ve been reading ever since. as long as you stay funny i’ll keep reading

  14. Chris says:

    Hey Rieleyesco, thanks for stopping by.

  15. CJ says:

    Ah yes, wax, why didn’t I think of that?

    Oh wait, I’m not Biff, that’s why.

  18. Chri says:

  19. some kid says:

    hay T.S
    your moneter say etchasketch on the side

  20. T.S. says:

    No… I wanna be a hacker… code-cracker… slacker… wastin’ time with all the chat-room yackers… 9-5 chillin’ @ Hewlett Packard… what…
    What’s really messed up about all of these references I’ve been making is that I haven’t heard this song in about 3+ years…
    OK… I’ll stop with the weird al, now… (probably not)

  21. Linkage says:

    Well I’m down with Bill Gates.
    Call him “money” for short

  22. T.S. says:

    so… tempting… to… respond… in… weird… al… style…

    must… use… coherent… sentences…

  23. Rileyesco says:

    Biff strikes again. lol

  26. Chris says:

    Thanks Archy, Biff likes to be bookmarked. 🙂

  27. S. Allen says:

    Haha, man, where did I find the link to this place? One of the Dumbrella sites I think, meh… The postal service is… variable. From delivering things days before I expected to lying about me not being home when I was sitting on the front step(and then saying “your package of live fish is leaking water, you might want to hurry”)

  28. Rocky A says:

    new slogan?

    Fed-EX: giving up our holidays so you wont need to.

  29. Nate says:

    It really looks like that eyebrow is stuck in the envelope….

    or maybe that’s just me

  30. GreyDuck says:

    A big comment thread like this, and not one smirking reference to the FedEx guy handing you your “package.”

    Maybe there’s hope for humanity after all… but probably not.

  31. Avarie says:

    In my middle school student discovered that if they put like lipgloss on teh edges of their scantrons (the bubble in sheets) that they would get them all right because the machine woudl just slide them through.

  32. Darkpheonix XIII says:

    I just put a few links to random Biff comics on a forum at gaiaonline.com, and people loved it. woot for free advertising!

  33. DemonRex says:

    The world’s first supersonic envelope.

  34. Miranda says:

    For those of us without a snowy season, what would our alternative be?

  35. Hoboapple says:

    Biff is such a genious! 😀

  36. Matt says:

    Oh, that Biff! 😛

    I love this site, I found it from some other webcomic but I can’t remember which >

  37. Torg says:

    For those of us without a snowy season, E-mail is the best alternative.

  38. Deteramot says:

    For those of you who lack a snowy season, send it during the rainy season. The wax will help seal out water.

    Don’t diss the postal workers. My dad is one.

  40. Asua says:

    Omg.
    Love the comic
    Pika, I love your avatar.
    Portal turrets are so cute!

  41. steve-o says:

    Biff’s windows are unusually high off the floor.

  42. mrmeval says:

    Snail mail sucks. Vegans must have a hell of a time getting food from Vega.

  43. Shadowlord9k says:

    To vegeta (tarble too) blew it up
    Wait a second, Vegeta, Tarble, Vegtable!

    And goku’s a carrot
