Jabberwocky:
Defeat ridiculosity with maximum awkwardness. :psyduck:
jwhouk:
Will knows Elliott's name because he's the bouncer at THR.
LeeC:
I have to agree, Wil seems to take a liking to working at the bar. He hasnt really complained much (that we have seen) after working here this whole time. I think the only time we did hear bellyaching from him was after his first day.
So Elliot has the hots for Padme (there's a news flash) and she is moving soon so he is torn up on how or if he could stop her from going because he loves her. Wait havnt we seen this in the 80s and jokingly in the 90s and 00s? Dude man up and tell her how you feel but chances are she's either oblivious of your feelings (which is par for the course for Padme) or she only likes you as a friend and that isnt enough to keep her from going home to take care of her granny. Hook him up with raven or just get his mind off her so he can move on. Elliot seems pretty sensitive and he's tall and handsome? He has it going on I suppose. Throw on a leather jacket like Wil did and the smif girls will be pinning over him.
dragontart:
This one was fun. Actually, most strips have been fun for me lately.
Also it reminded me that I really want a max.-ridiculosity-shirt but there's a darn ocean between me and that shirt. Any German readers who want something from that shop, too, and would like to pool money for the shipping costs? They're not astronomical, it just would be nice. -> message me.
Regarding drunk people, Marten and Faye, spoiler because it's actually not this weeks topic and nobody cares:

--- Quote ---While you and some others might not agree that drunk people are more likely to say what's on their mind truthfully, I don't.

Parts of the brain which let you decide if it's bullshit, ridiculous, simply mean or otherwise questionable only work correctly when you're sober. So if by "what's on their mind truthfully" you mean "what they think in a first stupid impulse without pondering the whole topic and decide what to really find right or wrong about it", then you're right. I do not consider that to be what's on my mind truthfully, though. On the other hand, people usually seem to keep their mouth shut to gain advantages, not because of more intellect or moral correctness when sober. (I try to not surround myself with people like that because it makes me want to barf. Unfortunately that means I rarely surround myself with people at all. I digress.)
However, I don't see a reason why Marten wouldn't go for Faye in case she'll become single again. They've been living together for quite a while, still seem to get along very well there, still like each other and indeed seem to be friends. Which I'd find a useful basis. I'm not suggesting it should go that way, I just don't see why people find it unlikely. I probably don't believe in the infamous friend zone and I personally really do not want to be together with somebody who didn't even make it as my friend in first place.
Black Sword:
So... the one who ended up blubbering was Elliott. Not quite what I was expecting, but still hilarious! So we now know Elliott likes Padma. I hereby predict Man Talk where Marten plays the role of moral support, Elliott fesses up, Padma cluelessly thinks it's about something else, and hilarity ensues.
Or more blubbering. Whichever amuses the sadistic audience most.

--- Quote from: Black Sword on 26 Sep 2011, 19:10 ---I got into a massive argument with Akima over the whole Indian thing back when Padma first appeared, so I'll strive not to get into it again. For now, speaking from experience, I corroborate the difficulty of outsiders enjoying healthy relationships with members of these groups, as the constant tentacle to pull back those who try to deviate from the accepted can be too much to overcome.
--- End quote ---
It isn't easy to develop good relationships for anyone, in any circumstances, but cross-cultural relationships do add another layer of difficulty to overcome, I think. And in my observation, any "tentacle pull" :roll: is at least fully matched by the rejecting "push" from outside "these groups".
--- End quote ---
As one minority to another, it is highly possible your observations are at least slightly tainted by your desire for that to be true.
