QFT.

Marigold is into Quantum Field Theory? Cool!
I love Hanner's expression in panel 4. It kind of reminds me of Tessa from Full Metal Panic in her ditzier moments.
evilbobthebob:
QFT is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below:
* Quantum field theory, the theory of quantum mechanics for field-like systems
* Quantum Fourier transform, a discrete Fourier transform
* Quantitative feedback theory
* Queen's Film Theatre, a cinema in Northern Ireland
* "Quoted For Truth" - an acronym commonly used on internet forums.
* "Quit Fucking Trying/Talking" - also an acronym used on internet forums, mostly gaming.
* "Quite Fucking True" - another acronym used around the internet.
* "Query Form Type" - Name for query forms
* "Quirky Fag Tree" - Pretty obvious
Also, HAH at the last one.

--- Quote from: IanClark on 15 Sep 2009, 14:49 ---I'll start with what pisses me off: the fact that both Hanners and Marigold were for no apparent reason assumed to be gay. The reasons they were assumed to be gay were borne of sexist and homophobic reasoning and stereotyping respectively (that is to say, Hanners of sexist reasoning and Marigold of homophobic stereotyping). People look at Hannelore, and because she's not constantly hitting on/flirting with/having wild rampant sex with any male members of the cast, and because she has reacted negatively to physical interactions with (coincidentally) only male characters, it's assumed that she must like girls instead. While all conventional reasoning, combined with her brief history of displaying that she is in fact very sexually attracted to men, points to her severe OCD as the culprit, we instead opt to believe that she must be a lesbian because somehow, in our subconscious minds, we are incapable of seeing women outside of a sexual context or in any context which may, itself, put them beyond the bounds of sexuality. With Marigold, on the other hand, it's the opposite. Marigold, right from her introduction, was shown as being unhygenic, slovenly and abrasive. In other words: not ladylike. And, as the stereotype goes, effeminate men are gay, and uncouth women are lesbians. And what pisses me off was that apparently in the minds of many (not just the shippers), her demeanor was more of an indication of her sexuality than the fact that she thoroughly enjoys man-on-man.

So... as far as I know, that's all stuff you made up just now, rather than actual reasoning we've seen written down from the Marigold/Hanners people.
Just sayin'. Nice wall of text, though.

--- Quote from: nichidani on 15 Sep 2009, 13:43 ---I think the MarigoldxHannelore shippers are creepy, because there is no hint of romance there to begin with. They're just two socially awkward nerds, being socially awkward and hanging out. The romance is totally invented out of nowhere.

THANK YOU.
jesus, people

Once again, that just makes them mistaken. It's not inherently creepy to be wrong about something.
To my knowledge no group of shippers for a male/female pairing have been characterized as "creepy" on this board, at least not to nearly the same extent as this.
stale:
The joke in today's last panel is very similar to a joke in the scrubs episode "My Big Bird".
The garbage man says to Turk and JD, "You can guess how many times a day I get thanked."
Turk says, "Six."
Garbage man says, "Off by six."
Turk says, "Twelve!"
Garbage man says, "I can see how they outsmarted you."

--- End quote ---
I love my glasses too. Glasses are sexy.
And the poking yourself in the eye thing freaks me out too, but you get used to it.
