I don't really like him either. Maybe the current arc will change my mind, now that he's being nicer, but before he just reminded me too much of gamer dudes who think they have a right to your time just because you grouped with them in a raid or whatever. That he went out of his way to insert himself into her life and annoy her repeatedly just because she was rude to him once doesn't help, it makes him look like a grudgy douche.
Zebediah:
To be fair, Marigold's behavior towards Dale hasn't been all that commendable either. They seem to bring out the worst in each other. Which is a bad omen for any potential relationship.
On top of that I get the feeling that Dale may actually be, in his own way, as clueless about romantic relationships as Marigold is. I do not predict this ending well.

All right - for those of you who are NOT from the USA:
Mountain Dew is, essentially, an orangey-citrus carbonated soft drink. It tastes nothing like lemonade, and tends to be both high in fructose corn syrup (or sugar, if you drink "throwback" Dew), and in caffeine. A 12-ounce (355 mL) can of regular Mountain Dew has 54 mg of caffeine in it - which translates to about 152 mg per liter.
For reference: a 16 oz. (473 mL) cup of coffee from McDonald's has 145 mg of caffeine.
Back in the old days, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, people played video games on their Ataris and Colecovisions, and I was still in high school, it was the soda with the highest caffeine content that you could buy that wasn't coffee - which, at the time, was seen as being an "adult" drink.
Boiled Dove:
I enjoy the Marigold/Dale interaction and am interested to see what becomes of this truce.
Does anyone remember Jolt Cola? that fueled some all night gaming sessions back in the day.
Neko_Ali:
Jolt fueled me through a couple of years of full time school and full time third shift work... Sleep was often but a fond dream those days.
