I agree with you, Carl-E. Part of the charm is that it came from Hannelore with a weird selection of descriptive words, sort of like the definition in Comic 864 of "Drumming is counting using your whole body!"

Yeah, I thought it might be the context that made it funny.
Personally, I'd think cooking is science for anyone. ;)

He was the regular that knew about the secret menu at CoD. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1640
Except for maybe a background cameo somewhere I'm pretty sure that was his first appearance.

That was, indeed, his first appearance. I don't have any other noted appearances of a character even remotely similar to him anywhere else in the archives.

--- Quote from: Akima on 04 Jun 2010, 04:53 ---Marigold's distaste for Alliance WoW players (I don't play MMORPGs so I have no idea what that's about), is more down at the level of sports-team chauvinism, with all the "trash talking" that goes with it. Which is pretty silly. Just like arguing on web-comic forums... :angel:

Thank you. Someone who has some sense around here.
Honestly, if this exact same scene had been played out with someone yelling between the Yankees and the Nicks (that's a pair of rival teams right?), nobody would have thought twice about it, and certainly nobody would be absurd enough to call it racism.
EDIT: Probably should have gone with Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs, cause I know for certain that's a rival pair.

Yeah, you probably should have, since the Yankees play baseball (rivals would be the Red Sox) and the Knicks play basketball (or so they say; their big rivals would probably be the Celtics).

--- Quote from: LeeC on 04 Jun 2010, 14:29 --- The night elves and the high elves had kind of a proletariat-bourgeoisie relationship that culminated into the big split when demons invaded.
--- End quote ---
What did I just say about misinformation? High Elves didn't even exist until thousands of years after the invasion.
--- End quote ---
not true, during the time of the split and the events leading up to it the high elves (or high borne as they where also called)

scroll down to "Arcane Magic and its consequences)
--- Quote ---The night elves studied the energies of the Well for over a thousand years before Queen Azshara came to the throne. By that time, one caste of night elf nobility had risen to prominence. Under Azshara's reign, members of that caste began calling themselves the Highborne. The name pleased Azshara, for she too was a member of the highest caste, and she approved the term for official use.

--- Quote ---Some of the Highborne regretted their choice to aid the Legion and managed to escape the capital city, Zin-Azshari, before the Well of Eternity imploded and triggered the Great Sundering. Afterwards, arcane magic was outlawed on pain of death, but the Highborne arrogantly continued their dangerous sorcery. Rather than execute their defiant kindred, Tyrande and Malfurion sentenced the Highborne to exile. The exiles journeyed over the sea to Lordaeron, where they founded the kingdom of Quel'Thalas and began calling themselves high elves.
