Goofus, Gallant and… Gus?

LANGUAGE TAG: There is some explicit language in this post. You have been warned.

UPDATE: 10/6/2016 – This was posted around 8 years ago.  I notice that traffic still shows up here every so often.  It appears to be linked from TV Tropes.  I keep this hear in tribute to a night where I laughed myself breathless during a riff session.  You might have had to be there.  Feel free to explore my blog as it has expanded and grown over the years.  The original post is below, unedited.

Now as you may (or may not) know I play a game called Star Pirates.  I hang out with a fleet called the Terran Astry. (The name is based off of the webcomic Starslip Crisis, more on that later)  In an IRC discussion one night a couple of us got to thinking about the old comic strip “Goofus and Gallant”.  You know, the illustrated guide to morality.  We thought of something better.

The players:

TemporalParadox – Who logged and edited this so  I could copy and paste it. Thanks.

GhostCollision – The driving force behind the idea

Kintama – A fleetmate

Mengi – Me
