Shremedy:
PLAID purple elephant boners. :-o Now everything is even MORE ruined! :evil:
iduguphergrave:
I drink orange juice all the fucking time. It's damn good stuff.
akronnick:
OK. Now I'm pretty sure Jeph's just fucking with us now. Characters in the comic are engaging in the same kind of childish matchmaking that is so notorious in the forums? That can't be a coincidence!
Is it cold in here?:
Emily seems most in tune with the wacky side of the QC world.
Jeph said in the commentary at the bottom that he was making fun of shippers.

Now? Five hundred years ago, it was usually healthier to drink alcohol than water, and there was no such thing as fruit juice, whatever Mormons will tell you (it wouldn't stay fruit juice very long). Two hundred years ago, the reason for this was understood and its necessity thus largely obviated, but it was still SOP for nearly all beverages that aren't traditionally boiled to be alcoholic, morning to night; there's a reason we call it just "drinking." With the temperance movement, and the rise of personal transportation, the situation's changed, but if you think we don't live in a society where you have to justify not drinking alcohol, try it sometime. Go to a fancy meal, or any evening occasion where alcohol is served, and don't drink. I guarantee that people will assume you're an alcoholic trying not to air your dirty laundry.
(But in any case that's clearly lager.)

...maybe not red wine sauce, but that definitely looks like some kind of tofu dish, and those definitely look like Cornish pasties.
