Whats with all the music references all of the sudden?
I'm gettin' all Jeph Jacques up in this peice.
But if you don't get the joke in panel 1, go here. You will.
Either way, not much ranting to do today. Not about this
particular strip anyway. 
But I do have news. So..y'know. "Here ye, here ye" and such.
I want you all to make sure to tune in for the-*inhale*
Gear Up Special Holiday Episode: Halloween 2007 Edition.
The GUSHEP (goo-shep) for short.
It will be a multi-day, multi-page, multi-awesome pixilated 
extravaganza the likes of which you have never seen!
So make sure to check it out, either before or after 
trick or treating/staying home and watching scary movies or getting drunk and hitting
on the busty chick in the "Slutty Cop" costume at your friend Jeff's Halloween party.
Even though you know Jeff is kind of into her, although he won't put down the fucking 
bong and get some freaking closure on the whole debacle. And you were the one who
introduced his ass to her in the first place. 
I mean, its not like you and her
were close or anything. You were kind of just debating 
which sounds cooler "Decepticon" Or "Auto-Bot" and then Jeff popped up like a goddamn ninja.
And I mean, how awesome is that? To find a cute nerdy girl? There are like NONE of those in Baltimore.
But Jeff is all like "Pssh, so? I'm just as big a nerd as you."
"No Jeff, listening to Weezer and being bad at sports doesn't make you a geek. Just because they've played D&D
doesn't mean that you've been sonically saturated with endearing nerd-dom."
...
Hah, okay. Sorry folks. Went to my "exaggerated circumstances" place for a tick.
But yes, just shut up preemptively about the Acronym. I know that the enitial for
"Episode" isn't "EP". I get it. It's "E". 
Gushep is just so fun to say.
Give it a try.
Gushep
Gushep.
Guuuuuuuushep.
Seriously.
Do exactly what I just did and see if you can't at least giggle. Then keep reading.

Ah-HA! See! I told you dude!
And you doubted me.
