At least, not since we all became adults.
--- End quote ---
Isn't that what one usually says to someone one expected to be someplace else, or one did not at all expect to be where the someone was?
Case:
I wonder what sense the common dickbat uses for orientation (in lieu of echolocation) ?
cesium133:
Ejaculocation.

Oh crikey, I'm even more of a geek than I thought I was. I've read critiques of Asimov and of course weak and strong anthropic principles, but was disappointed to realise the references Clinton made were to works not written in this universe.
I wonder if he's read

The lack of any greeting or her name is what makes it sound antagonistic. If I bumped into my brother in an unexpected location I would probably say "Oh hey Hamish! What are you doing here?" or if I'm particularly surprised it might end up like "Hamish?? What are you doing here?"
Of course we can't read tone of voice through the comic - Clinton could just be surprised - but leaving out the social niceties and her name and skipping straight to asking for an explanation for Claire's presence, well (to me, at least) it come across as accusatory in tone (a sort of "justify your presence here to me now!")
