Chapter: Comics
I don’t know why I have such bad luck with sunglasses. They are either too big, too small or I lose them. Maybe I should go back to the prescription glasses that automatically darken. At least I never lost those.

So I randomly open Firefox on what I think is Saturday and Bam there is new Book of Biff! Hooray for long weekends!
Quick fix week
Or summer week (may 24 weekend = first weekend of summer)
I love my transition lenses. Still, even after 8 years every once in a while I walk inside and wonder why it’s so dark.
@-2: Quick fixative week.
The shadow nose week?
@Chuck: Are they Hoo Hanta ™ “Peril Sensitive” (c – Douglas Adams) transition lenses? What do you find inside when this happens?
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I gotta HAND it to you Biff…
I just had a look at the first and second comics, and I have realised why Biff did such stupid things: When the barber cut his hair/head, he also removed Biff’s brain.
@Chris: Those prescription glasses that automatically darken are called Transition Lenses. I had them for a couple years, recent pair doesn’t have that included.
@Chuck: Peril Sensitive sunglasses are an invention of Douglas Adams to protect characters from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. They work by going completely black whenever danger is imminent, thus allowing the wearer to remain relaxed and accordingly safe from harm.
Salute!
…your shorts!
@i.half4; You must now die. 😛
strange philosophy i dicovered.
-within order is chaos and withing chaos is order. those that belive order is worldy fall into maddening chaos and those in chaos belive the world to be in order.
when it come right down to it, its very true. compare a neat freak to a slob. who looks hapier to you?
sorry there is no connection to comic. i just have add really bad.
where did the hand come from? i dont think biff cut off his hand
i think he cut off his roomates hand from the biff where his roomate threw the garbage can at biff 🙂
i think chris should make a glue week that would be funny 🙂
My problem with the transition lenses was that they didn’t get dark enough for driving – inside the car (i.e., the light level on the lenses) is shaded, even when it’s super-sunny outside, where I have to be looking. Or, rather, squinting.
@ The Dukenator
Perhaps the Great Chris was trying to not product place them. He tends to do that, avoiding directly naming the product. Remember the Large Floridian Theme Park?
Hopefully if you get that they don’t go Biff and you loose them when they become sunglasses (or get bigger or smaller)
@grapy: maybe it’s a third hand. I’m sure he has one somewhere.
@pakusan: who is happier, the neat freak or the slob? I’d like to know which to aspire to…
@MaskedMan: Isn’t “now” the time we all die?
@Cari: Maybe he couldn’t get the secondary control package, so the extra hand became superfluous.
@i.half4, Cari, grapy
Did you all forget about the extra arm button?
There is another glue joke to be made…
Anyone? …Anyone? …Anyone?
@i.half4
I can see Biff Gluing his eyebrows to whatever he is gluing.
That’s thinking, but I was thinking of wordplay…
Yes, me again. Just in case anyone was waiting for it:
“Super glue can be a handy quick fix.”
It can also be a quicky hand fix.
That is a “Handy” quick fix.
My bad luck with sunglasses is that every time I really like a certain pair, they’ll get broken, always the same sort of damage to them, but always a different situation leading to the breaking….
