I just noticed in today's strip that Dora and Hanners are both skinny, tall-ish and have short blonde hair. When Dora cuts the black bits off her hair won't they look eerily similar?

[JD]

nope, Dora's hair is straight, Hanners hair is kinda poofy and curly.

If you compared Hanners and Tai, you might be closer.

[Tago Mago]

The next story arc will be a total rip-off of Persona.

[Kugai]

Just so it doesn't turn into a QC version of Single White Female

[akronnick]

Also, Hanners has green eyes.

[Siibillam-Law]

They look completely different. Look at their faces. Dora's is much more oval and long

[rainbow kittens]

both skinny, tall-ish and have short blonde hair

All black people look the same to you, don't they.

[Zingoleb]

No.

It's the Asians that tend to fuck me up

[Jace]

That's because all Asians do karate

There are only two things in the world I hate: Intolerance...

.....and the Dutch.

[sofiabailote]

Wow...

this thread is sooo random!

[Siibillam-Law]

oh my god, like so totally

[maddness]

Rum and Dr. Pepper

HEY! Don't look at me!! It wasn't my idea!

 

[Kugai]

Sudden tandom thought


Dora is secretly Hanners sister

[maddness]

OR Dora is secretly Hanner's mom! The Ellicot-Chathams could have a baby of their own so they paid got Dora to pop one out for them. Dora is really an alien who once worked with Hanner's dad up in space. Now she lives among humans and uses her alien mind powwers to make people think what she wants them too. Sven and her supposed parents are just some family she picked to insinuate herself into.

Have I mentioned the run and Dr. Peper?

Madness, you have that backwards. Hannelore is in fact an ancient being, and this is her twenty-five thousandth reincarnation. But they screwed up the awakening of her memories this time, and so wound up having to foist that ridiculous space-station story on her—Hanner's 'mom' (actually her high priestess) is behind all this—until she's subjected to enough stress to awaken the Mother Goddess within. So in the QC universe, they are, all of them, Hannelore's descendants. Naturally a vague resemblance crops up from time to time.

The Dutch're ok. It's the wretches from Belgium you have to watch out for. Dig this: *whispers* they put mayonnaise on their 'french' fries.

Anybody that does that, you just know they'll do freakin' anything.

Even name their country after a pan-galactic swear word.

_{So do the Germans.}

So do weird Americans, such as I.

Yeah, but the Belgics brew good beer, so I've forgiven them.  And my wife has issued a general amnesty on the basis of Godiva chocolates.

[pwhodges]

French Fries?  Those are honest-to-goodness chips we're discussing (and those there 'chips' are 'crisps' - do try to get it right).

[MrMonk]

I thought that was a Canadian thing.
Oh, right. "Weird Americans"

[raoullefere]

I am getting it right. Chips are what you use for counters in Vegas and other dens of iniquity. For all other uses, it needs a modifier (computer chip, microchip, buffalo chip). The correct name for what some folks call "crisps" is "'tater chips." The fried potato pieces are called french fries because we had to blame someone: why not France?

[pwhodges]

You just need to come over to the UK and learn about the real thing.

You're thinking of gravy.

[talihal]

You're thinking of gravy.

I like gravy on fries...but I'm pretty close to Canada being in ME and all...but still, it's tasty.

[raoullefere]

Oh god, oh gross. Gravy on fries. Please, please don't tell people in the southeastern US about this. They already put freaking gravy on everything they don't fry, and some things they do. There are actually fools down here that prefer eating gravy on bread to the pot roast they make.

I hate gravy. I want to taste my food, not some greasy glop prepared to make sure I get to eat as much oozing fat as humanly possible. Gravy on mashed potatoes gives me the fan-tods. Damn Sanders, anyway. Butter, dammit, not beef-juice. And giblet gravy as a vile concoction invented has only been superseded by  'fruit' flavored cough syrup.

*pant pant wheeeezzzeee*

Sorry. My inner Penelope escaped, again.

[Ballard]

Dogg gravy is fucking delicious what are you talking about.

[JD]

The Canadians have french fries made out of sweet potatoes. Then they drizzle the beef gravy on top. It is excellent

Yes

So long as your taste buds are dead and buried.

You are all fucking dumb.

Seconded

I did not know this. I must go to Canadia.

Just posting to say this is indeed an excellent combination.

You don't have to go to Canada to get sweet potato fries. Try any decent to upscale deli or burger joint.

[Siibillam-Law]

You can get them in New Zealand. I think. I've never looked but I'm certain they're there

[maddness]

Why did it never occur to me to eat fries with mayo? I can't stand katsup (it's friggin cat soup for goodness sake!) What I don't get is people who like vinegar on their fries, just sounds icky to me, but I do eat salt and vinegar chips, so I don't have much room to talk.

I like a very little bit of gravy on my potatoes, I don't get people who drown them, and some on meat if it's dry. I like white gravy on biscuits, but only if it's made with sausage.

Never had a sweet potato fry. I don't know that I'd like them. Are they at all sweet or what?

Also, rum and oh, so many things, make excellent concoctions. I'm also quite fond of the whiskey and lemonade combo. I am also pro vodka in general and all for Scotch, so long as it's at least hit puberty.

I think I could probably scour the continent and not find sweet potato fries. Any Aussielanders who want to prove me wrong, go right ahead.

Er, I imagine they would taste like sweet potato. Which is not really that sweet.

[Ballard]

What? Sweet potato is pretty sweet.

[Keebbles]

 I like sweet potato chips (home made) with a blend of chili powder/cinnamon and black pepper. (no salt needed)
 Done home fries w/same and they were a big hit too.

[RefD]

they are, i had them a few times while i lived there.

[raoullefere]

Sweet potato fries are pretty good. But leave off the gravy.

I told you, in the American South, people will fry anything. Dill Pickles, candy bars, tomatoes, Twinkies, hamburgers (buns and all), crawfish, spaghetti, pig guts, chicken guts: the list goes on. And don't ask "do they fry …?" You might give them ideas.

[nimnix]

... you can fry spaghetti?  Will wonders never cease

[pwhodges]

... you can fry spaghetti?  Will wonders never cease

Not dry, I guess.  My mother used to fry left-over spaghetti or macaroni cheese for breakfast - yummy, but not good for the arteries.

Heh, that's really not that special. You should try the North of England, where they will batter* it first.


*For those that don't know: Batter = egg, flour, salt and water mixed into a thick fluid then used as a coating on things to be deep-fried. Has the handy property of fluffing up when cooked, causing most foods to become buoyant when done and aiding retrieval. Depending on the recipe, beer is sometimes substituted for the water.

Mmmm, beer batter *drools* All batter should be beery.

Yeah, well, Mexicans fry ice cream! Beat that! Oh, wait ... fried Coke ... never mind.

Also, congrats on making it out of the boner patch in one piece. Although, scabbies? I think the boners might have been the lesser of two evils on this one.

[Ballard]

Fried Coke?

[maddness]

It's a Texan invention of Coke flavored batter that is deep-fried and topped with Coke syrup, whipped cream and a cherry on top.
