Oh good lord. Do I even want to do this?

OK, weekly comic thread, w/ poll.

[jwhouk]

Dangit, I KNEW I forgot to do something today.

[akronnick]

That's two weeks in a row, jwhouk, they're gonna make you turn in your dick-broom!

[Carl-E]

Wait - they can do that? 

More importantly - why would they? 

[jwhouk]

I never had one in the first place.

[raoullefere]

You know, the more I think about it—and I can't express how much I wish I wasn't—I wonder if it shouldn't be a dick-mop. Or maybe a feather-duster.

[Kugai]

I never had one in the first place.

But they could take away your Mancard.

[Tergon]

If it was a mop or a feather-duster it could concievably do its job.  Not very well, but it would sort of do the job that it was designed to do.
In which case it would not be a Useless Broom Made Entirely Out Of Dicks.

As for revoking of Dick-Brooms, while it's not been common practise, it does take place for the most terrible of transgressions, such as ending sentences with prepositions, or eating all the chocolate out of the Neapolitan Ice Cream.

[no one special]

But they could take away your Mancard.

For real men, the Man-Card is irrevocable.  If anyone tells you to turn in your Man-Card, just punch them in the face and say "No."

Irrevocable.

[foolsguinea]

I find myself wondering what Faye means by, "I hope you'll do the right thing," & what Sven thinks it means.

[blub]

comic: of course Faye/Sven interaction is acceptable!
However, I was kind of looking forward to some Faye/Angus interaction after their date and all the kissing (not to mention the apartment drama) - they were supposed to meet at work and now the day is almost over (it's dark outside! and almost 8!)! oh dear!

[J]

gah, the poll changed as i was voting in it!

[foolsguinea]

So, you didn't mean to vote for Paris?

[no one special]

so... I guess Sven didn't come by the shop like he said he was going to?  

I only say that 'cause it looks dark out the window, so I presume it's nighttime.  Unless that slit of light blue at the top of the window is daylight, and the dark is just i dunno... well, i dunno what it would be.

[Arancaytar]

Sven should be worried: Faye's ultraviolence will make him infradead.

[J]

So, you didn't mean to vote for Paris?

no, i voted that you would forget to change the poll.

[snubnose]

I was looking for something super clean, but there was no option for it offered.

[Akima]

Implied ultra-violence? I suppose that is the "Talk softly, and carry a big stick" approach.

[Border Reiver]

Is there a better approach?  The "draw lots of attention to the size of your stick" approach makes people laugh and draw attention to your general inadequacies.

[Carl-E]

Better than "carry a big schtick".

[Border Reiver]

That's our job.

[vettechinohio]

Exactly what I was thinking. I have been more than kind of looking forward to it, I have been (not so) patiently waiting for it through all of this new storyline silliness. If the day ends without Angus interaction, I will be very cranky. But Faye saying she's a kinder, gentler version of herself would be a perfect prequel to him walking in (:

[jwhouk]

I personally would love to see Angus walk in, see Sven, and say something smarmy to him that puts Sven in a bad mood for his entire date with Hannelore.

[Carl-E]

They've never actually met, but they've seen each other.  

Not exactly good first impressions.  

I think this is exactly where Jeph's going... and it will be verrry interesting!  

[ysth]

I wanted to start the date today, actually, but I was compelled to do some more Faye/Sven interaction first. Hopefully that is acceptable to you.

Just so long as you manage a proper cliffhanger for Friday.

[ysth]

So, you didn't mean to vote for Paris?

We'll always have Paris.

[Carl-E]

So, you didn't mean to vote for Paris?

We'll always have Paris.

[The Duke]

...ending sentences with prepositions...

That is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.

Sven should be worried: Faye's ultraviolence will make him infradead.

Nice.

[Border Reiver]

Carl - I would ask that you not threaten us with always having that Paris.

[Carl-E]

Better, shweetheart?

[Is it cold in here?]

the most terrible of transgressions, such as ending sentences with prepositions, or eating all the chocolate out of the Neapolitan Ice Cream.

A child developed a Thing about people mentioning Australia to the point that she wouldn't even put up with her mother reading aloud from a book about Australia. She couldn't even bear to have the book mentioned. She would protest, "Mother, what did you bring that book I didn't want to be read to out of about Down Under up for?"

[Border Reiver]

Better, shweetheart?

Much - thank you.

[foolsguinea]

I was looking for something super clean, but there was no option for it offered.

Yeah, I kept forgetting obvious choices. Updated with, "A cleaning supply outlet! Ooh!" & "A restaurant designed for germaphobes? Oh, I got nothin'."

[Heliphyneau]

Hmm, isn't Paris the dude who ran off with Helen of Troy?  If Sven brought Hanners to him, Paris could conceivably entice her away with a mythical fountain that completely/permanently cleanses everything it touches . . . or maybe just a whole lot of Purell . . .

I had been hoping for some Faye/Angus aftermath too, but either they saw each other and conversed "off screen" and Jeph didn't feel like showing it, or Angus will show up shortly.  Heck, it's possible that he called her and said he'd be there later, contributing to Faye's semi-positive mood.  Whatever the deal is, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

I like that Faye's "kinder gentler" approach ends up being more scary -- the change in demeanor makes her seem more unpredictable.  Of course, she may be going more for guilt than fear; it's hard to say.  At least she didn't smile (like she did that time Dora asked her to be cheerful on the job).

[raoullefere]

I don't know what Sven's kvetching about—he never got a ridiculous act of violence from Faye in the first place, unless his widdle ears burned too much when she was cussin' him out in the street.

Neat how Faye robs Sven of his grab at victimhood, though.

Implied ultra-violence? I suppose that is the "Talk softly, and carry a big stick" approach.

More a "mouth off considerably and tote a theoretical hunk of lumber that can actualize into a fist" approach, considering that it's Faye.

Carl - I would ask that you not threaten us with always having that Paris.

Yes. Longest goddam fifteen minutes ever.

[Bogey and dame Pic]

Better, shweetheart?

Not if you're going to call us 'shweetheart.' Surely, you can do better than that.

[kent_eh]

I personally would love to see Angus walk in, see Sven, and say something smarmy to him that puts Sven in a bad mood for his entire date with Hannelore.

Notoriously wrong prediction of the day:

Angus comes in after Sven&Hannelore leave, he and Faye go out to dinner, and by sheer co-incidence end up at the same place as Sven&Hannelore.
Misinterpretation and hilarity ensue...

[Akima]

[Bogey and dame Pic]

That's not a dame, that is Ingrid Bergman.

[Carl-E]

Surely, you can do better than that.

Shtop calling me Shirley! 

[JohnTheWysard]

She would protest, "Mother, what did you bring that book I didn't want to be read to out of about Down Under up for?"

<snork!>

Once I sought a preposition:
I thought it lurked beneath my chair.
I looked for it, and said "Perdition!
Come on up out from down in under there!"

[bunnyThor]

Though I am happy to see Sven/Faye interaction, I must admit to being thoroughly distracted by the shadow on the wall behind them. 

For a shadow like that to be cast, presumably by the counter, there would have to be a light source sitting on the floor, somewhere off-panel to the right.

[raoullefere]

[Bogey and dame Pic]

That's not a dame, that is Ingrid Bergman.

When she's with Bogey, she's a dame, no matter who the dame is—even this Bergman dame, see? Same thing with Elizabeth Taylor. It's always pictures of her and that guy, even that old drunk guy she married so much, whoever that guy was.

I do hope there's not a picture of Bogey and Liz floating around out there somewhere—but if so, it probably self-combusted long ago due to not being able to work out who was in it and who was simply there.  

So soon in the thread, and already getting so silly. I blame you, foolsguinea. Because it can't be me.

[vettechinohio]

I don't know what Sven's kvetching about—he never got a ridiculous act of violence from Faye in the first place, unless his widdle ears burned too much when she was cussin' him out in the street.

Untrue! While we didn't see it, Faye did say that when Sven asked what number 69 was on The Secret Menu, she punched him in the dick (:

I don't know how to do the cool hidden linky thing, but here is the comic: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1641

[Kugai]

Surely, you can do better than that.

Shtop calling me Shirley! 

Better than being over Macho Grande




Implied Ultraviolence - Where Faye's Droogs look like ordinary people.

[ysth]

Lust Coefficient FTW.

I was wondering why the board was clear...

[Moxie]

Oh Hanners....hahahahaha! 

[akronnick]

Jeph in the Newspost
The date commences, pretty much exactly how you'd expect it to.

It's not how the date commences that you have to be worried about!



...also...


D'awww, don't Hannelore look cute in her dress with her make up?


*chokes up*


Our little girl is growing up!


*bawls*

[Dliessmgg]

Yay pseudomath!

[jwhouk]

Algebra can be fun!

u x me = 24vr.

[zagraf]

Huh. I knew Hanners loved counting (thus her proficiency at drumming), but I had no idea she was a full-blown mathematician. Forget CoD, she should get her Ph.D. She'd feel right at home in a university math department. In fact, she'd become the go-to person among her colleagues for interaction with the outside world. Socially awkward and inexperienced as she is, if the things they say about mathematicians are true, she'd still be the most mentally stable and socially at ease of the bunch.
