There actually is a clan of tiny ninjas living on his face. You can't see them, because they're ninjas.

"Marty, hi! I haven't seen you or your mom in ages! How is she, anyway?"
--- End quote ---
Worse than that: Veronica would *be* there. Friends in the City, right ...

What? Fawlty Towers/Are You Being Served/Keeping Up Appearances would be a better combo.

--- Quote from: Murphoid on 26 Jan 2011, 14:33 ---Dora is all messed up about the breakup too. I seem to remember she promised to seek help. I wonder if there is a moment in her past like the moment in Fae's past that caused her to be like she is.
Dora's brother is a sex addict of some kind and Dora seems to gravitate toward abusive relationships. Perhaps they have a shared trauma?

This is a fascinating thought. I'm not convinced that Dora's problems can be accounted for without worse things in her past than we've seen.
Raoulleferre makes a case that their parents were neglectful.
--- End quote ---
Damn. Knew my ears were burning.
It certainly sounds like it, when I hear Dora's side of things. But, then again, she could simply be a more delusional crackpot than I realize an unreliable narrator.
Anyway, noticed today that Cosette is becomeing the most attractively drawn girl in the cast. The darker hair was a good move, even if she was coerced.
And thank god, no Stooges in the poll. I don't get that at all.

--- Quote from: jwhouk on 26 Jan 2011, 06:29 ---Nothing personal, Mr. Moderator sir, but FTFY (Americans call them that; "flats" are a type of women's shoes).
--- End quote ---
So? Mr. Hodges is English (or at least lives in Oxford), and was not putting the word "flat" in the mouth of an American person or character, so why should he use anything but his native dialect of our mostly shared language? Are you going to start nitpicking my Australian English next*? Should I start using USAnian spelling conventions, for example, to avoid pricking your precious bubble of cultural uniformity? :-D
*In Australia we refer to "flats" as "units", and either is way shorter than "apartments". Short words have been preferred to polysyllables by users of English far more skilled than I, such as Abraham Lincoln, George Orwell, and Winston Churchill. :angel:
--- End quote ---
As another comment on that... I live in the US, and the word flat to mean apartment IS used here. Seriously, that was a pretty petty post(jwhouk's, not Akima's).
