Flush Twice is a variable panel comic. It first appeared in 2004 as a daily single panel comic featuring stick figures. The art style has evolved over time, but the original characters are still quite recognizable from the very beginning to the present.
I suppose there are worse things than dating an older person. Being the older person is one example… In about a month and a half I’ll officially be in the land of black balloons. I’m still going to lie about my age though. I’ll just tell people I’m in my late twenties.
A long time ago, there used to be this channel on cable that endlessly scrolled news stories in large easy to read letters while playing various music. It had the time and weather at the top, and additional crawl at the bottom. Why hasn’t anyone made a website based on this concept yet?
Don’t kid yourself. There isn’t anything on the net that someone else hasn’t thought of before you. They probably said it better than you too. If you’re lucky, you might come up with something clever enough to make people think your personality is far more interesting and tolerable than it actually is in real life.
So it’s been a while since I posted one of these things. I bet some of you were a little worried. You were probably thinking, “Gosh, I sure hope nothing serious happened to good ol’ Dieter.” Oh who am I kidding. If it weren’t for Ginger Jokes ranking so high on Google, no one would know this site even existed.
Times change, but many people get older and neglect to realize that times have changed. They lament that people ought not do “this” or should do “that” as if the lifestyles they grew up with are still relevant to this day. It can be said that we are what we know. We are learning new things every day in this world, so what we are is changing. Those who fail to understand this hurt the future generations by shackling them to outmoded ideas and repeating history’s mistakes.
Actually, I like cats. After my previous cat passed away, I got a new cat that looked like my old cat as a replacement. While I’m not in a hurry to replace the current cat, I’ve already decided the next cat will also be a “ginger moggy”.
I’m kind of getting tired of being on unemployment. Recently I discovered that minimum wage was a bit higher than the last time I was job hunting. Because unemployment benefits are based on my last job, I’ll lose even more money if I actually start working again. I may just go that route anyway, so I can have something better to do with my time.
So it's been kind of a mixed bag this year. Sadly, my Aunt Pam passed away back in February, then my cat, Alex, died in June. On the plus side, I got Murphy in August, and I finally managed to pay off what was left of my old revolving credit card debt that I've had hanging over me for 40 years.
Born on June 22, 2025, Murphy is about 6 months old as of this post. I picked him up off Craig's List for $10 when he was about 7 weeks old. Since then I've spent about $1300 over 5 vet visits to make sure he got all his shots and yes that includes neutering. Where Alex merely tolerated Gail, Murphy adores her. and the two are regularly seen snuggling up to one another. Those photos aren't staged. These two are really that close.
In spite of everything, I'm still gainfully employed. it's highly doubtful AI is going to take my job anytime soon, so I guess I can be thankful for that. On the other hand I recently found out I have chronic kidney disease, so that's no beuno. I won't find out until January if lifestyle and medication changes are going to be enough to keep it from progressing. Fingers crossed.
On a lighter note, I've started occasionally live-streaming Tarot card readings on Twitch. No, I don't actually believe in magical mumbo-jumbo, but there is an art to the craft. I look at Tarot as basically being psychology with flashcards. There are 78 cards, and each card can have different and multiple meanings depending on its context. When you know what you're doing you can ALWAYS match randomly dealt cards to the context. Form a coherent narrative around the cards and you can actually gain an altered perspective on your situation that may give you more confidence in facing your problems.
So that's about it for 2025. Not gonna lie: While it wasn't all bad, this year sucked pretty hard. I can't make any promises, but I fully intend on putting out more than 2 comics in 2026, and I might even include a few more jokes and rants.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!
Pax,

What is Flush Twice?
Flush Twice has been around since May of 2003. It started out as a JOTD (Joke of the Day) website. New jokes were published every weekday. Over the years, good jokes were increasingly hard to come by, and eventually they got so rare that I just stopped trying to publish them.
Since 2004 there has also been an eponymous comic. I still occasionally publish a new one on Saturdays. It’s also rare anymore, but sometimes it happens.
Here lately I’ve been posting a “Link of the Day”. For the time being, I will be featuring a new website from my enormous collection of bookmarked websites every weekday. None of it is solicited promotions, and no one is paying me to feature their site. These are just websites that at one time I thought were interesting enough to add to my bookmarks folder.
I highly encourage using some kind of ad blocking extension before clicking on any of these links. You’ll also hear me say this phrase a lot about these posts: “They can’t all be winners.” But it’s better than just leaving the site abandoned.
The jokes were generously provided by friends and visitors such as yourself. I want to express my eternal thanks to everyone over the years who helped contribute to the collection.
So what is it that makes a joke funny?
It all boils down to a sudden shift in perception. The story starts you thinking one way, then the punchline turns that thinking on its ear. The art of the joke is to craft a short story that isn’t overly contrived, then deliver a punchline that suddenly shifts your perception about the story you were being told.
Many of the jokes on this site are offensive, and I make no apologies for it. Offensive jokes work by making the reader uncomfortable through the use of a taboo subject thus enhancing the underlying humor. Without the offensive element, the joke would simply not be as funny.
Times change, but many people get older and neglect to realize that times have changed. They lament that people ought not do “this” or should do “that” as if the lifestyles they grew up with are still relevant to this day. It can be said that we are what we know. We are learning new things every day in this world, so what we are is changing. Those who fail to understand this hurt the future generations by shackling them to outmoded ideas and repeating history’s mistakes.
