--- Quote from: Nycticoraci on 03 Oct 2018, 22:09 ---The exploding rice reminds me so much of when I was backpacking through Europe. When I was in Stockholm, the hostel I was staying at had a basement kitchen with "free pasta".
Now, I don't know how people manage to burn pasta, but I was there for 3 nights (with me only in the building to sleep and wash, otherwise out in the city). Over those 3 nights the building fire alarm went off 7 times with me in the building, with 4 of those times being between 2-5am. By the end of it, we'd generally have someone in the room stick their head out the door, say "You burn pasta, no fire?", and on hearing yes, bury our heads in pillows until the alarm stopped.
We weren't overly safety conscious.
Mind you, I was worse by the end of my trip.
I remember in Madrid checking into one, and them saying, oh but sorry you won't be able to stay in the room just yet, one of the hot water tanks fell through the roof onto a bed. My only reaction was, that's fine, I'll just put my bag in my locker and go out touristing. It's scary in retrospect how your standards of "a safe place to spend the night" change.

How can you burn pasta? I've done it multiple ways. Not paying attention to the pasta as it cooks(done it once) not stirring the pot to keep the pasta from sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan(too many times to count), too much water + tight lid + starch and proteins in the water = flambe!(twice, but nothing caught fire)
Rice is easy to ruin if you don't pay attention to it and if it boils over especially if you don't wash the kernels first to get rid of the starch. Boil overs are easy to do, especially if you aren't used to cooking which I suspect the trio aren't used to doing. Unless they used a rice cooker, which is a whole other animal and likely isn't their fault as it could easily be an electrical short that caused it to catch fire and they were legitimately frightened hence the chaos.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 03 Oct 2018, 23:22 ---New Comic Up
In some ways, I feel great empathy for May here. All she wants to be is a grumpy, bitter and antisocial misanthrope. Instead, here she finds herself having to care for and help friends old and new! What will this do to her self-image? :-D Seriously, I think that, at some point, she's going to go to Bubbles and ask her if she really is a Tsundere!
May is a rough girl but she has a heart of gold. What is interesting is that she clearly doesn't like this. She feels that she should be nasty and mean but she just can't quite make it stick when she's dealing with people whom she has started to care about!

She's so used to being all alone that she might finally be seeing that she isn't alone and the people she is around are more than just roommates- they are friends to her. Momo has tried to be her ear to talk to, Dale was her verbal jousting partner, Marigold is the counter to her in multiple ways even if neither would admit it.
Coincidentally, the way things are going and how the talk with Roko went I believe we could end up seeing her end up becoming a social worker or couselor and doing the job that Winslow was doing before.

--- Quote from: Zebediah on 03 Oct 2018, 02:24 ---If you really want to mess with them you say that Ringo was the best Sex Pistol.
--- End quote ---
Oy. :roll: Ringo wasn't even the best Beatle!
(Pete Best was, of course, the Best Beatle. :wink:)

(Forgive me for being a comic behind.)
Can Claire Be our
Claire Without
Poofy red hair?
Perish forbid!
We hope Jeph
Wouldn't dare.
Has some vile spectre
Invaded his lair?
It's awful and wicked
And downright unfair.
(Forgive me for waxing poetic as well.)
