Hmm. Would it make sense to introduce a new category such as "accessories" or "works of art"? The problem with this might be that both of these categories would be rather small. We might want to include items such as "pulsemaster 9000" into "accessories", so may be not. "Works of art" might include the recurring posters and Faye's cookie sculptures... Is there a suitable catch-all label? Something that might be viewed as an extension of the "weapons" category?
Or may be "instruments and appliances" (again leaving it to the native users of the English language to come up with a suitably broad sticker) such as Marten's & Sven's respective Les Pauls, Hanners' drums & gong, Faye's toaster (R.I.P.)...

INCONCIEVABLE!
DJRubberducky:
Espressosaurus - coffee so good, you'll blow your top! :laugh:
And since it's a comic strip, I can understand Faye wanting to show rather than tell, but I'm still surprised that the final panel didn't include beatings and "WTF you could have killed somebody!".
Elysiana:
Odin, I think I'm not following you to some extent. I don't know if you're actually jumping around or you're maybe not including all your thoughts right away? You seem to be arguing one thing then changing the stance and I don't know if it's lost in translation or if I just have pregnancy brain.
I agree that Person A should not be horribly upset at Person B loving the person they loved. I agree that Person A should not be horribly upset that the person they loved now loves Person B. I do still feel that tact can go a long way to remedying that though. I don't think I would expect a friend to ask me if I'm over someone, but I would really appreciate it.
I disagree that it is unhealthy to grieve for a month over a relationship that lasted at least 6 months. I do think that it might be unhealthy to grieve for 6 months though.
I agree that the "half the time" rule of thumb isn't valid with long-term relationships or super-short-term relationships; the percentage goes down the longer the relationship is, I think. It can easily take a year to get over a marriage that lasted 10 years, for example, but I think 5 is awfully high.
Other than that, I'm happy with the way my circle of friends works, and you're happy with the way your circle of friends works, and I don't think that makes either of us any more well-adjusted than the other - we've just had different life experiences that have shaped the way we see the world.

--- Quote from: Black Sword on 15 Mar 2011, 08:10 ---Sorry for the delay in responding, didn't really check in after my post yesterday. What I'm afraid he'll do is that he'll hook up Tai and Dora (nothing wrong with lesbian relationships, so anyone who wanted to try to flame me over that can kiss my other cheek), then have Marten find out and then...no consequences. I'm weary of Saint Marten of Reed, who lacks anger, a backbone, or any ability to selfishly pursue something he wants, to get angry and lash out, to do something. "Oh, if it makes you happy" la di da the rest. If Tai and Dora hook up, I want to see him react instead of just burying it all. Quit his job! Tell them off! Grow a backbone and express displeasure! Something!

Ugh, tell me about it. Sometimes i dream about Marten snaping, and becoming the suave motherfucker i know he is inside, throw character development obviously.
...
Ok i MAY have exaggerated a bit there. But you know, i really do want to see him grow a little backbone!

Moving away from that, I am loving the espressosaurus. Faye, can I have one, please?
Though now that I think about it....if the reason it's launching the neck and head is because of too much pressure, that means there's a design flaw somewhere. Judging from the comic, it seems there's too much heat and steam built up, and nowhere for it to go but out. I'd guess that if she added vents to give the steam a place to go...
...am I really discussing engineering on a comic forum?

Yes you are!
Also, was the head supposed to be the part that de-attaches? if so, it should had a slot so when when you attach it to the body it... ehm, what is the word i'm looking for...like, when you put 2 pieces of lego together they... ARGH, curse my ignorance! But yeah, the preassure is certainly a problem there.
--- Quote from: Odin on 14 Mar 2011, 18:24 ---It took four posts for me to spell out something that should be patently obvious to everyone that has ever had any lasting relationships at any point in their life, does that mean I'm terrible at explaining things or that people aren't willing to expend near the critical thinking on this tangent as they are on whether or not Jeph is going to Rule #34 us with Tai and Dora?
--- End quote ---
Ok this one, and just this one. The thing i want to point out is that not everyone is the same, and in the same way not every relationship is the same. So how to handle a break up should NOT be patently obvious! Every person in this planet handles a break up differently, and so the friends and people around the couple that is breakin up! Some are more affected by it, and if a friend would want to date his or her ex, hewill appreciate that the friend would talk and be clear that there is no bad intentions in doing so. And some others don't care!
