Cutting in to say that 'Snoggered' is an excellent new euphemism that I will be incorporating into my vocabulary from this point on.
--- End quote ---
You've never heard that one before? Yes, it is excellent. Snoggered/snockered has been around longer than I have. But it's kind of fallen out of use since the turn of the century. Does that put you in the under-thirty crowd?

I don't think I've come across that specific term for drunk/plastered/smashed/insert-your-favourite-term-here, but then again, it instantly sounded to me like an English word for "drunk", so maybe I have and it just got lost among its dozens of companions.

--- Quote from: Storel on 04 Apr 2018, 00:08 ---how did she know to open the door when Clinton was still at least ten feet away from the doorbell?
--- End quote ---
Phone call/text message? If Clinton has learned from past experience he'd message first...

I missed this. I guess I got distracted by all that talk about cookies (which, by the way, is not a word I would use at home - I'd say "bikkies" - but I digress).
I just wanted to suggest that she probably just heard them talking as they approached. It's 1am, you could probably hear them from blocks away, even if they were speaking softly. And they are inebriated, so probably not.
I don't know about you, but in my younger days, my mother's ability to sense me or one of my brothers approaching the house at literally any time of day or night was uncanny, comparable only with my cats' ability to do the same thing.
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to award Near Lurker a bikkie.
Torlek:
So today's comic completely confirmed my desire for a side storyline starring Ms. Augustus (how does she not have a first name yet?), the Bianchis, Veronica, Jim, Henry and Maurice. At this point they're just as interesting as most of the main cast.
Near Lurker:
It's probably pretty much a given Ms. Augustus will meet Marten's parents and their partners sooner or later. Not sure about the Bianchis, though.

Source: personal experience.

Nope. You may not personally finish the job in that case, but it's not universal.
The one time that happened to me, I covered the mixing bowl and ran to the store. Yes, the nearest store that was open was a 30 minute drive, but once I started making the cookies, I had to finish. The joys of OCD.
--- End quote ---
Picky note: they didn't say they wouldn't finish the job, only that it's a bad time to be making cookies. Possibly for the exact reason you've just described. BTW I would do exactly the same thing, and I am not OCD (not even in the trendy but medically incorrect sense of the word).
--- End quote ---
*Technically* I sent my brother to the store instead of going myself, but the point remains. Yes, I did finish the cookies.
