Thought. This may have actually been Marten's first one night stand. As I recall he was with Ol'whatshername most of HS, then he moved out here and got dumped, wallowed, met Pintsize, met Steve and was pretty much solo till he ended up with Dora. Might have been some dates here and there but that doesn't mean he sealed the deal, and as we just saw, Marten is to being smooth like a sand blaster at full power is to gentle exfoliation...

There was Padma. But that does not invalidate your point.
NilsO:
Apart from the wicked sidetrack, it appears Angus has plans for Marten. Last time, it involved fancy clothes and getting wicked drunk. I would guess Angus has some other idea this time, but it probably will be some kind of male bonding, and alcohol will in all probability be consumed.

And the nickname of an actual fallen flag railroad.

I understood GM's post as speaking of the time between Vicky and the beginning of the story.

--- Quote from: GarandMarine on 03 Mar 2014, 21:24 ---I use wicked all the time... it's not a mainstay of my speech pattern but it's there. I have spent a grand total of two weeks in Maine outside of traveling/vacations, and the entire time I was in Maine I had 0 contact with the locals.

I use it occasionally, but can't remember where I picked it up. Been living in California since I was four. Spent several days somewhere on Cape Cod (Falmouth?) for a business trip a long time ago, but don't remember the natives saying "wicked" like that.
Didn't Steve Jobs use to describe things as "wicked fast" or "wicked cool" or something like that? I may have gotten it from him. I was a Mac owner for a long time back in the '90s.

Actually, I believe that's Vicky after graduating college and moving back home to Northampton, no?
--- Quote from: hedgie on 03 Mar 2014, 22:05 ---"Whoever after due and proper warning shall be heard to utter the abominable word "Frisco," which has no linguistic or other warrant, shall be deemed guilty of a High Misdemeanor, and shall pay into the Imperial Treasury as penalty the sum of twenty-five dollars." -- Emperor Joshua Norton of the United States and Protector of Mexico.

Haha, great quote. I never heard that particular one before, and I've lived in San Francisco most of my life. Can't say I'm too familiar with the Quotations of Emperor Norton, although I've certainly heard of him.
--- Quote from: Loki on 03 Mar 2014, 23:41 ---An abbreviation for San Francisco, used as such in e.g. the book "The Cruise of the Dazzler", brought to you by Jack London, who in turn is mostly known for "White Fang".
--- End quote ---
For White Fang, The Call of the Wild, and The Sea Wolf, I'd say. I read the first two as a kid and The Sea Wolf in a high school English class. I've never heard of The Cruise of the Dazzler, though; how did you run across it?
