Your cream will cover a thousand molds

I saw a woman at work today cover a moldy spot on her bagel with cream cheese. She was talking to someone else and I guess she was too distracted, looking at them and their breakfast Hot Pockets, to notice. I was too distracted by the mold to look at anything else. I wasn't too familiar with her so I didn't really try to stop her from eating it. I'm not too sure if I would have done anything differently even if I had known her. I mean, this wasn't just a teeny bit of mold either but she looked hungry. I saw this thing from the corner of my eye and it looked like Slimer's crap. Darker maybe, but you get the imagery. This thing was full grown. I think I saw some fuzz too. Ugh at the point I KNEW I wasn't going to say anything. If MOLD could grow more facial hair than me then it deserved to be digested. With that on my mind, I walked out of the break room happy and content it was going to be a wonderful day.

Anyway, this is Turtleonabus.com. A webcomic and a review site. I've had a lot of fun coming up with the material for everything with Joe but I've also already felt the stress of it. The amount of attention this site has received in the past two weeks has been overwhelming. Some of you even hunted me and my virtual ass down to get some answers to what this was really supposed to be. - I.E. Cassius, 21, male, going to school for electrical engineering at Purdue University in Indiana. (Kind of long winded hmm?) - Once I started looking at the reviews on stumbleupon and and the webstats for the site I started getting really nervous. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who have already visited, I didn't at least. I woke last Saturday morning to a text from joe.

Joe: Dude, I've been reading some forum posts about turtle on a bus.
Joe: They all know who you are and where you live
Adrian: Bwaaaahhhhhh? Damn Stumbleupon and Who.is. Well, as long as there are no death threats. And forums? really? How did this happen?
Joe: Yeah like seriously. They list your address and everything. They think it's an ARG.
Adrian: Wonderful. WHY? And you said forums? as in plural? as in more than one? and where? does this count as internet stardom?

It's not what I expected to wake up to. But what I expect to wake up to is really quite unrealistic so I guess this shouldn't have been too much of a shock. So, it's been a terribly fun two weeks figuring this site out. I'm glad we could make it interesting for a lot of people with the countdown. Stick around, cause we will.
