#565 - Needle
If you are ever jogging down a gravel road, remember that this is a bad time to take your lucky rock out of your pocket to admire it.

On the other hand, a hole in one would probably be easier to get.
August 4th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I’d just pick the one closest to the hole. If it melts later, grab another one.

Oh, and if you drop your lucky rock on a gravel path, it ain’t that lucky.

Only after golf-ball sized hail storms.

How’d he not get hit by lightning?
August 4th, 2008 at 12:25 am
@micah- He did, but his Biffbrows act as lightning rods. They run all the way down his body to the ground, except most of the hair is as pale as Biff.

Had a crazy hail storm here about a month or two ago. Ripped a bunch of leaves out of all the trees. I had to laugh later when I saw a minivan drive by, coated in leaves. Looked like some sort of Greenpeace parade float.
The Duck Has Spoken.

One of the funniest I’ve seen. I’ve often wondered about that myself. I just read about a story where someone was thrown off his toilet by hailstones flooding out of the commode. Ouch!

Heh. Hail is funny.
I cracked open a hailstone out of curiousity once. They’re pretty weird. I think I was able to separate out the layers from one another with my fingers, and I had a little ice hemispheric shell.

I’ve never had the “privilege” to see a storm with hailstones any larger than a marble. Not that I’d want to be standing around outside when it happened, but just once I’d like to see one of those record-breaking baseball-sized hailstorms up close. That would be friggen’ awesome.

It’s rain rain rain here =p
August 4th, 2008 at 8:23 am
During hurricaine season, you can’t SEE the hail through the rain!

Bah… My lucky rock is a piece of quartz with a silver patch at one end… I can take it out where ever I like.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:43 am
My lucky rock was a piece of tiger’s eye. It got lost/stolen in junior high.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:43 am
yet somehow he got all the way to hole 11 … without the hail melting…
August 4th, 2008 at 11:54 am
I live in Florida, so I’ve never experienced a snow or hailstorm.
Sports week?
August 4th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Funny. Biff always has gags I wish I would have thought of myself.
August 4th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Funny, there was a hail storm in the green but not anywhere else

I live in mississauga ontario… we get hail like twice a year, and the biggest stones are about the size of… er… well, i cant think of a comparison, but theyre really small…
August 4th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
The comic is funny…but why is is titled “Needle?”
August 4th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
@Qskecksget - It may have something to do with a “haystack”
August 4th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
@bellows:Maybe it started hailing in the middle of his game?
August 4th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
hmm… you could always get one of those remote control golfballs…that way yours will be moving, while all the hail will be melting O.o
August 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Is that the Pause’th hole?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I take back what I said in my first typed. There’s a big rainstorm here and it was hailing like 3 minutes ago

A recent page from my “366 Stupidest Things Ever Said” calendar quoted a news report that the midwest had been pelted with “hail-sized golf balls”. Just struck me really funny for some reason.

I feel like the description underneath makes today feel like a double-punchline, since there’s no full-on story in there.
I’m gonna call sports and weather week.
August 4th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
@ Chris - Has this happened to you? The anecdote I mean.
@ randomperson - Is that supposed to be a picture of a rainstorm
My guess is needle in a haystack week.

“Why isn’t that piece of hail melting? Oh, wait…”

If you’re ever biking down a gravel path, don’t take any sharp turns, for you will slide.
