…a truck driver, was fired from his job quite recently, the reasons he was terminated from his position can be found in today’s strip.

In detail, he had missed his turn at a Y intersection, having gone left instead of right.  He attempted to correct his mistake by hanging a right on an access road that would connect him with the road he NEEDED to be on.  At the end of the access road, he proceeded to turn left on the road…and became hung up on something, it was’t a ditch or an embankment, he just didn’t know what to call it.  He called it in, let his dispatcher know and followed procedure put in place for when things like this happened.  Keep in mind that this happened in area of Laredo Texas, United States.

Someone in Omaha, Nebraska, United States…which is due north of Texas by a few states over, ‘investigated’ the incident by reviewing a map of the area, and deemed that my friend had preformed an illegal ‘U’ turn, and terminated his employment.

Moral of the story? Stupid people work in Trucking Companies, just like anywhere else. :V

As you should all know by now, Sonic 4 Episode 2 was announced over the Christmas break to much fanfare and peculiar facial hair. Of course we knew it has been coming but that doesn’t stop SEGA winding up the hype machine by making promises showing off a slick trailer which actually doesn’t show anything of the game but hey that’s just the way the industry goes.

Anyway, Aerobian-Angel over on deviant art has put together a rather sweet looking version of the trailer that they did last year, well worth a watch, check it out here!

Aloha. Long time, no post from me, but I’m back, and bringing with me a new focus for Emerald Coast.

The Artist Alley will be focussing on some of those pieces of fan art and musical genius, that unless you look for it, you’ll very rarely see it.

It’s a new year, so why don’t I begin it properly with a brand new Just in Time?

It’s amazing what I can turn up with a quick search of my hard drive.

I don’t know whether to feel more sorry for the designer or the guy in the suit?

Oh and before inevitably jumps in saying Sonic Wrecks did this kind of thing first, oh no they didn’t.

Well it’s the start of a new year what better time is there to have a quick look back at the past year and see what’s to look forward to in 2012?

Today we get a very late peak at the fun the EC Staff has over the Holidays, featuring Rinascimento (Rina) first appearance.

Thanks go out to Titans Creed (her owner) for not skinning me alive in my butchered take on a new character.

Also, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas as well as a Safe New Years.

Just a quick message to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at Emerald Coast.

You’d almost think these updates would become somewhat regular…

The newest DtN is now live. I think untold things are going on behind the scenes here… Is there some bad blood between demon and cyborg?

WARNING : SERIOUS WORDS FOLLOW

The SOPA Bill thats being looked over in the US has its good intentions and bad ones.  I myself think it needs to be gone over with a fine tooth comb a few times over before it should have been presented to anyone, but of course, the bureaucrats who we supposedly elected know better then we uneducated brattle, who are to stupid to be left on our own.
I can rant on about this Bill, but I won’t, instead, I’ll let Jerry express his disapointment with one of the forms of ‘special’ entertainment that MAY be targeted by SOPA’s broad wording.

I also leave you with a thought, the road to Hell is paved in good intentions, but one cannot get on the stairs to Heaven with bad ones.

LESS SERIOUS WORDS AHEAD :
