#635 – Tangle
I have a lot of little cords all around me every day. I manage to keep most of them out of trouble. Although a few times a month I will get up from my desk and snag my headphones cord on the keyboard shelf. I think my ears have been lowered a few centimeters at this point.

who was the lucky one to be his partner?

The extension cord was a nice touch Chris.
And it looks like Biff still took more time to hit the ground than I would.

I don’t have to worry about this, since I don’t salsa.

Holy wow, Book of Biff hasn’t missed a single update day in over 10 months, that’s crazy rare for a webcomic.

Yuria, that’s one of the best parts of the Book of Biff.

…Electric underwear?

I have wrap around headphones too and I occasionally nearly rip my ears off getting up from my desk

Wait… I missed an update 10 months ago?

@ Colin: Commonwealth Edison? (given the only apparent evidence)

I am now slightly confused.

Electric undies? That’s a whole new kind o’ hotpants! MOST appropriate for salsa dancing!
I don’t usually get tangled in cords, buy my dog does… She loves to den up under my desk whilst I’m at the keyboard. But, being a dog, she needs to poke her head out to check on every new noise and alarum as the kids thunder though the house – Right though the spot where my headphones and mouse cables dangle. By the end of a typical evening, she’s usally tied-up and tangled like a like a clumsy boyscout!

Dance week. Sounds fun.

I GOT MY BOOKS OF BIFF! ALL HAIL BIFF!
November 17th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
@Grug – Yay!

Yeah I feel your pain…both Biff and Chris. At work I have wrap around ear buds. Great invention, earbuds that don’t fall out…but when you turn your head or snag it on something…not only do the top of your ears, the pinna, get ripped apart, so does your outer ear tube.
That is why wirless is good…but all those wirless singals can’t be good for your brain. Hmm the conundrums we face.

Will there be any more development in the area of the Church of Biff?

Why would he bring the corded one??? Just use the battery powered underwear. DUHHHH!!! What were you thinking, Biff?
November 17th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I had a really nice pair of headphones that I used to work and play games. They were my favorite pair, I had gotten as part of a package deal for Guild Wars.
Then my dog chewed through the cord.
*facepalm*

when WOULD it be convenient to wear that?
November 19th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Well, he did have an electric walking stick, so I can kind of see why he did this… okay, I still cant. XD
And WHY would you need electric underwear, I’ll never know. I’ll save power and stick with my regular boxers.

@ MadDavid:
Yes, the SALSA DANCING is the thing you’re unlikely to do…XD
February 12th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I… But… why?… Why do you hurt my brain, Chris? What possible purpose could electric underwear serve? And why during Salsa Dancing?

@Ian
Most wireless signals are microwave frequency. Do you go insane if you use a microwave? No, microwave frequency is tuned to H2O molecules, not neural pulse rate.

I keep pulling the plug on my laptop at work. It doesn’t do anything to me, but it does trip the circuit of the lady in the cube next door. I’m just glad I don’t like her.
