Is that exhaustion I read in your 'voice' Kugai?

FWIW, I'm feeling a major mini-arc starting up here. Depending on how much he wants to do, Jeph could easily spend months on this one night of the party at Marten and Faye's apartment!

Monday Morningitis and a faulty Smoke Alarm I can't reach and is making an irritating, high pitched whine. Waiting on the Maintenance Guy to show up to deal with it

Though I am tempted at this stage to take a large heavy object to it.

Yeah, don't do that. Remember that those things are basically the warhead on a radiological 'dirty bomb'.

Since I'm reading The Importance of Being Earnest, I feel I must automatically pick the cucumber sandwich option, and my second choice, though I can't partake this week, is why I personally love Sundays, beer and pretzels

Welp, the comic isn't showing. At least it's just a filler we're missing and not an actual continuation of this party.

Zebediah · « **Reply #9 on:** 27 Sep 2015, 18:39 »

Comic's up now.

Not even a little bit? Well, I guess he can always ask Pintsize...

Edit: Just noticed that Winslow has a really, really low serial number. But of course Dr. E-C knows somebody at Apple who can get him one of the first models off the production line.

That was actually one of the first things I noticed too. Now that's early adoption.

BenRG · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 Sep 2015, 23:17 »

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that today's strip says something about Jeph. Specifically, it says that he despises the engineering standards that Apple puts into the iPad and iPod. He dislikes their software updates even more!

Now, why is there no porn on Winslow? We know that Marigold gave Hanners her Fireman Porn not too long ago so what device does Hanners use to view it?

amykathleen · « **Reply #13 on:** 27 Sep 2015, 23:23 »

See 1222-1223 for your answer to that. She has another computer for porn-ing on.

DonInKansas · « **Reply #14 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 00:03 »

Now I'm always going to see Winslow as a T-Rex.

Welu · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 00:43 »

I wish we saw more of Winslow and his nubby arms!

osaka · « **Reply #16 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 02:40 »

I assume Winslow just nuked Pintsize's "welcome" gift if there isn't any amount of porn in there.

snubnose · « **Reply #17 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 06:12 »

Well, I oppose 1 km/h speed.

That means Winslow manages 1,000 meter in 3,600 seconds.

So he can travel 1 meter in 3.6 seconds. With two feet that are basically fixed distance at at most 0.1 meters away from each other. At most because for example the iPhone 6 is 0.067m wide. And this while having to holding balance since he cannot get up again once he falls.

That means he makes a maximum step every 0.36 seconds, or a half step every 0.18 seconds - at more than 5 steps per second. I'd say thats hopelessly impossible, given the extremely disfunctional, non-optimized for walking form of his body.

I would rather estimate he takes about 0.8 seconds to make a single normal, half-maximum step, which would be approx 0.05m, if he's in a real hurry. That would result in a maximum speed of 225 meter per hour.

Dude, with the math? I am impressed and annoyed, mostly because I haven't had my coffee, yet. Math is a post-coffee pursuit.

Like, say, a lug wrench?

Zebediah · « **Reply #20 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 09:53 »

If someone hadn't melted all the lug wrenches, maybe he could.

He might have melted them to create a larger, heavier one.

Well, I still have my lugwrench, but I'm NOT loaning it to Kugai.

(I want to keep it safe so that if there are any other unmelted lugwrenches out there, I can start a breeding program and reintroduce the wild lugwrench to these forums)

I just noticed something in today's comic... if Jeph's going to be Canadian now, he's going to have to start spelling like a Canadian. Which means that Winslow has a pleasant demeanour.

I wonder if he's neighbours with Ryan Sohmer and Lar deSouza. On Canada's one road.

Considering Canada's in North America, aren't Canadians also Americans?

In Brazil they call U.S. citizens "norte-americanos" (North Americans), so as not to be confused with Americans, who reside in all of North and South America. That always seemed off, because in attempting not to slight people from Latin America, they're effectively doing the same thing to Canadians...

Zebediah · « **Reply #34 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 18:24 »

We call ourselves "American" because "United Statesian" sounds weird.

cesium133 · « **Reply #35 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 18:30 »

Thinking of names for people from places, "Wisconsinite" sounds like something that would be harmful to a lactose-intolerant version of Superman.

I don't say that with much pride as I used to, though.

War Sparrow · « **Reply #38 on:** 28 Sep 2015, 18:36 »

Central Americans always get the shaft. I don't think Canadians can complain much-we use Asian, European, and African to refer to residents of those respective continents (Though I've never heard "South American, oddly).

But "American" generally just refers to folks from the US, and Canadians will throw temper tantrums if you call them American.

I was born in North Carolina. The demonym for that is straightforward, "North Carolinian".

I now live in Massachusetts. The demonym for that is much less straightforward. Variously "Bay Stater", "Massachusite" (which sounds like a mineral), or (most commonly) "Masshole".
