From the Depths of the Internet

 Dear ThreeifbyStrike fans, Jon and Bill,

Unfortunately, this has been a quiet month for me on the blog and for that I apologize.   A busy work schedule has kept me from putting in the time I'd like to towards writing but things should be more settled down now.  The Strike be re-born!  Now that October's nearly at an end and Thanksgiving's a scant few weeks away I'll be sure to be on my toes looking around for the best for our readers. Here are a couple little treats from the black depths. 

-Ryan

 Liz Climo- (Featured at the top of the post.) A tumblr account showcasing the artist's simple and delightful cartoons. Think if Cyanide and Happiness played tummy sticks with the Far Side minus the weird and add in cuter animals.

 Kanye Wes Anderson- A tumblr that combines 'Yezzy's verses and dialogue from Wes Anderson films.   If it sounds bizarre, it is, but it also works.  Flashy colors look good on both Mr. West and on Anderson's characters. Gotta say,  Jason Swartzman from Rushmore sounds pretty thug with Ye's boast backing him.

He Texted- This one's a huge guilty pleasure and a huge time waster so enter into He Texted forwarned.  The site works like Texts from Last Night or FML, where anonymous posters have a forum to share the tribulations of life in a digital world.  Here's where it gets great, the messages being posted are on-going text conversations between genders where ladies can ask the internet for help deciphering the male psyche via text.  It is amazing.  All posts can be commented on with crazy advice and you can vote on whether the dude is into her or not.  Long story short, everyone's crazy....enjoy.

Mitt Romney vs. The Internet

As always, ThreeifbyStrike is not a political blog. However, with the first week in November approaching it becomes harder and harder to not comment on the current electoral atmosphere.  For example, when two hilarious Tumblrs appear heavily featuring presidential candidate Mitt Romney, how could we not share? 

Mitt and Rob- Comedian and general rapscallion Rob Delaney has made it his mission to badger Mitt Romney via Twitter. With gems like, "Obama should mount the debate stage in a carriage pulled by toddlers whose cancer was cured through RomneyCare," Delaney mercilessly, and often non-nonsensically, attacks the candidate up to several times a day. Thus far, Delaney's success rate can be measured by the difference in number of retweets between the comedian and the candidate for each of their respective twitter accounts (@mittromney). Delaney is winning handily.  Recently, a tumblr account has popped up and created cartoon versions of Delaney and Romney acting out the contents of Delaney's tweets, no matter how ridiculous they may be. The most recent post relates to bacon shortages. Enjoy.

Lucille and Mitt- Mitt Romney  has said some things that maybe aren't the wisest; Lucille Bluth from Fox's Arrested Development has said some things that maybe aren't the nicest. Put the two together and bam, it's meme heaven.  Follow along with the Lucille and Mitt tumblr to see the face that exemplifies all the waspiness of the 1% put with the words of America's Republican numbero uno.

EDIT: It's Mitt Vs. Obama in the presidential debate tonight 9-10:30 on most major channels. Apparently, Romney's been taking improv classes since August to prepare.  Following shortly after stay tuned for round  bajillon of Mitt Vs. Internet nerds everywhere as the meme's gain ammunition.
