Happy Veterans' Day

Welcome to "Beyond Rodney and Jim, the Veteran's Day special".



Now notice how I have decided to be very serious with this post and changed my font to Times.



Listen to this poem, while playing patriotic music in the background:



In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people

Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes

Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through heck and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so

For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory

Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes.



Thank you for your reverence, and...



Happy Veterans' Day.

New Blog!

Yep, I know it's been a while since my last posting, but that's exactly the reason why I created the new blog you see to the right on the blog listing. All game-freaks, check it out!

That's all for now...

Halloween Recap

Welcome to another "Beyond Rodney and Jim".





So, how was everyone's Halloween? I hope you all had fun trick-or-treating, because ours was pretty much what you could call a bust.





See, me and Jim went over to this house a couple blocks from ours, and we set up our little show. I placed my boombox up on this branch above me, and Jim went up to the door. When the guy who was handing out candy opened it, I pressed play and Jim started dancing.

I'm thinking the guy didn't have a sense of humor, or he hated the song too. Either way, the branch I set my boombox on wasn't that sturdy, as it broke off and the boombox landed right on my head.

Now I have this massive headache, and we're probably gonna be the new laughing stock at school next week. Oh well, at least it was worth a shot. Oh, and we got some candy left too.

End transmission.

The Final Countdown

Phew, it's been a week since I last posted. However, I've been working on the banana costume that Jim's wearing for Halloween. If you saw our latest strip, you've seen how it turned out.

How did I make Jim's banana suit? Well, I guess I forgot to mention in my Five Facts post that I can hem pieces of cloth together to create things. Yes, and I threatened Jim that if he even dares to reveal that talent, I'm taking the suit away.

As for me, I was so busy making Jim's costume I didn't have time to get serious about mine. So I'm going as a robot.

Anyway, that's the end of this post.

Next time on Beyond Rodney and Jim...

CANDY TIME!!!

PAINFUL... but brilliant.

Wow, two episodes in one day?...

Okay, so just yesterday Jim checked his e-mail. He got this message from someone, and it contained this totally awful "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" video thing from the internet. We couldn't even listen to it for more than 30 seconds without almost dying from the horribleness of the clip:

It's actually been an internet phenomenon for years, so I got an idea for what Jim might be this Halloween...

See ya!

Hanging with my Brothers...

(Note: I wanted to use something different than that for the title, but I couldn't think of anything.)

Anyway, welcome to another "Beyond Rodney and Jim". Ironically, this strip focuses on everything beyond our universe. I guess the guy that gave us the strip had created a bunch of other characters as well, and I got to know them pretty well. In fact, just yesterday, I played a game of hearts with that guy and a couple of his other creations:

I got completely destroyed by the others, but oh well. I'm not sure how I manage to play with people from other worlds, but it's cool anyways. I even played Backgammon with one of them once. Good times, good times...

That's all for this rather short episode.

Five Facts Friday

Welcome to another "Beyond Rodney and Jim".

Okay, is it just me, or did this week seem to take FOREVER to end?! I almost can't believe Friday is here!

Of course, to celebrate the arrival of the end of this long, long week, I decided to let slip a couple of interesting behind-the-scenes stuffs (you know, my original reason for starting this blog in the first place?). So, here goes nothing...

1. I CAN'T SWIM...

Yes, it's weird that I made fun of Jim having an innertube when I couldn't swim from one side of the pool to the other, but come on! It was a DUCK innertube!



2. I am a Spongebob fan...

I hate to admit it, but that yellow maniac just seems to do it for me. Maybe it's just because it's good to know that me and Jim aren't the only popular pair of idiots out there (oops, did I say that out loud?).

3. I DO have a short attention span...

As amazing as it seems, stupid Mr. Dingle was right about one thing: I really do have a short atttention span. I will only be able to focus for about 5 minutes, then I just start thinking about something else. I almost (ten minutes pass) oh, sorry, I was checking my e-mail. I'm telling you, I have ADD!

4. I ride my scooter everywhere...

I learned to ride a scooter when I was four years old, and ever since, I've been pushing one everywhere I go. Walking? Thbbbbt! Biking? Pfffft! Nope, that scooter is the way to go!



5. The fact that Jim can only speak in grunts and yet we still understand every word he says...


THIS is one I'm sure everyone out there has wondering about since this strip started. Well, the big wait is over, everyone, because I'm going to reveal the ENORMOUS secret right no...




...

Oh, darn it, looks like Tina needs the computer "really badly". Sorry, I'll have to cut it off right here.

Happy Friday!
