Is there supposed to be something on the home page? I just see a blank space where a comic would be.

pwhodges · « **Reply #51 on:** 26 Dec 2012, 23:26 »

There's a sketch pf Claire; photographed with his phone, so it's a jpeg, not a png or gif..

Carl-E · « **Reply #52 on:** 26 Dec 2012, 23:47 »

Same here, but I'm using IE on a new (!!) computer, and I guess It's just not configured right or something.

I "viewed source" and found the image address in the code;

http://www.questionablecontent.net/images/snowedin.jpg

so, there you have it. Don't know how to get IE to show it - gotta download Firefox.

pwhodges · « **Reply #53 on:** 27 Dec 2012, 00:22 »

The page is corrupt; it contains a malformed comment which the browsers are reacting differently to (the terminator is "--!>" instead of "-->"; strictly IE is probably being the good boy here), and the top menu still sees yesterday's comic as the last. Jeph probably edited the page in a hurry or under adverse circumstances, or even on his iPhone.

Carl-E · « **Reply #54 on:** 27 Dec 2012, 00:43 »

I noticed the odd closer - Firefox has been downloaded and shows it fine. It strikes me that the close-bracket (>) should allow the following command to be read anyway, even if the previous command is corrupt; in that respect, I'm surprised IE is so unforgiving, especially since it's still able to show all the other items that follow the corrupt code, such as the links list and ads...

But that's a whole different tirade.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #55 on:** 27 Dec 2012, 00:46 »

FF shows it fine.

To Jeph from Ray Charles:

Why does every single thing I see
Look exactly like a doodle to me?
If I ever have a doubt
What life is all about
I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
And I find it real relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!

Carl-E · « **Reply #56 on:** 27 Dec 2012, 08:59 »

AAAH! I just read the newspost - the man's just over an hour from my house! There are only two comfort inn's anywhere near Harrisburg, and only one of them makes sense based on traveling to MA through NY....

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

If Jeph offers you a burrito, politely refuse it.

did anyone NOT draw dick limbs on pintsize? (not me, i drew big veiny ones)

Redball · « **Reply #62 on:** 27 Dec 2012, 18:07 »

I'd refuse one from the Shame Orb, especially if the freezer's full of burritos.

Zemyla · « **Reply #69 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 01:40 »

I think I would tell Yelling Bird I don't have any orifices either if he asked. Even if several were clearly visible.

techkid · « **Reply #70 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 02:12 »

You'd have to use at least one to divulge that information in an audible form (unless you are clever enough to use pre-recorded programmed messages).

But even your own lack of orifices would not deter Yelling Bird (his damn cloaca has more storage space than an aircraft hangar. Hammerspace bird?

)

Akima · « **Reply #71 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 04:41 »

Does that read "Gas Station Burrito", and does that describe the source of the alleged food item, or its effect on the person who eats it?

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #72 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 04:55 »

It does indeed say that. As for the meaning...could be both.

snubnose · « **Reply #73 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 05:20 »

I strongly oppose Space Ham as a substitute for Waffles.

I'm a vegetarian. I dont do Space Ham. Also, Waffles, man, Waffles !!!

DSL · « **Reply #74 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 07:01 »

Would be interesting, I think, to see Jeph's speculation on roller-grill food. You know, hotdogs, cheese dogs, those breakfast-torpedo things. They're not even individually wrapped for your protection (tasty, though, when you're in a hurry).

Waffles contain more bacon fat per ton than most commercial grades of ham.

Also, who says spathe ham is made of meat? Could be genetically engineered Agaricus bisporus grown to titanic size in the 0-g solarium.

I would be very surprised if waffles contain specifically bacon fat, or even any meat fat, at all. I'm sure they do contain fat of some kind, but the recipes I looked at either specified butter (which can be acceptable to some vegetarians, if probably not to vegans) or margarine (which is acceptable to all vegetarians if made from vegetable oil).

Space ham on the other hand I would expect to be synthesised from mycoprotein or something. Raising pigs in space would be very wasteful, especially if one wished to avoid this sort of thing.

Also, I could see genetically grown "ham" that's really a vegetable protein, yeah. "WE ARE WORKING ON THAT TECHNOLOGY."

That was more of a sarcastic aside about the quality of the ham you can buy in plastic packets than it was a dissertation on waffle recipes; I consider serving ‘meat’ that's been "plumped" by water injection and chemically tinted pink like that to be a mortal insult, almost as bad as chicken nuggets. "Mechanically recovered" my ass. *rage*

Carl-E · « **Reply #83 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 16:46 »

Mechanically recovered means something completely different.

Think Pink Slime.

DSL · « **Reply #84 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 17:09 »

Time was (say, late 1970s, or early 1980s; I discovered this while eating lunch in the school cafeteria in seventh grade) one could, by squinting at the ingredient list on a package of any of the chocolate-like snacks offered up by a currently-defunct commercial pastry maker, discern the words, "May Contain Beef Fat."

"MAY CONTAIN ... "

I still remember, after all these years, my tablemate's explanation: "The cow that was sh!tting in it to make it brown fell in one of the vats. They're not sure which one."

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #85 on:** 28 Dec 2012, 21:21 »

Space ham made from actual porkers?

Yeah, right, when pigs fly.

Meh, I don't figure the Shame Orb to sound mechanical for some reason. I always just imagine it as a really loud, deep grating guy-voice. Kinda like Seth Rogen with a little Brian Blessed mixed in.

Also, I laugh at Bev's misfortune and sympathize at the same time.
