Method of Madness:
Crap, I forgot to post the results of the poll. Raven being sciency = a billion, everything else = much less. Also, nobody noticed the lack of waffles. Hell, even I didn't notice until I was making the new poll. So here you are.
Emperor Norton:
I live in Athens, Georgia (University of Georgia location) and when we talk about townies, we mean the old 60s 70s hippie guys who are still in the town. And yeah, townie is VERY derogatory. Which is why I hate the "everyone who lives in the town and doesn't go to college there" definition. Screw you college students, I've lived here my whole life, THIS IS MY HOME, you go somewhere else if you have a problem with that. (Not that I hate all the college students, or even most of them, a lot of them are cool guys/gals. I do hate the incoming freshman who can't figure out that you need to stand at the crossing signals and ONLY GO WHEN IT SAYS GO. I have no idea how many times I've had to slam on brakes from people crossing randomly in the middle of downtown, or just ignoring lights at the crosswalks)
(Granted, after 10 years as a building contractor, I am back in school, but not at UGA. Also, the students wouldn't dare say anything bad about you when you are fixing their plumbing/roof/etc.)
EDIT: Does it just, occur to anyone else that Padma, even if what she is saying is 100% ACCURATE is just... really flippantly rude.
Boomslang:
Well, yeah. Padma says things that are rude and hurtful because she's too 'differently clued' to realize that that might not be the best way of saying it. I suffer from a similar problem.
Method of Madness:
Renee's logic is shit. If Marten was a student and his ex worked at/frequented a particular coffeeshop, wouldn't he still avoid it after a breakup?
TheEvilDog:
Look at it as someone who doesn't know Marten or Dora, their respective histories, etc. You have a couple that broke up amicably, no blazing rows, no "I hope you get dolphin sphyllus!" being shouted at the top of their lungs. Its just "Well, this is the end, I'll be out by the end of the day." To anyone outside of that social circle, you'd be a little hard pressed to see what a break up like that would be that awkward that you'd be avoiding C.o.D.
Remember, we have a pseudo-omnipitent view of the QC-world, the characters don't.
As for Padma being "clued differently", some people speak their mind and are simply blunt about matters, simple as that. Some people are also missing that mental filter that makes them think "maybe I shouldn't say that..."
