Title: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: westrim on 14 Apr 2013, 01:10
What are some of the most notable/favorite/unusual menu items we've seen on the board of Coffee of Doom? I'd like to know for a, um, 'project.'

If someone finds something, could you please link to the strip (or at least give the number or the arc?)


Edit: So, I just happened to go through the archive and found this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1214).

MUFFINS! (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1032)

One shaped like Laura Bush, one shaped like Rachel Ray, and one shaped like a dog fighting a crow...I think that was Raven's idea.

Thanks all, project complete. But please, let us know any more you like, it's fun being reminded of the ones I forgot.

Well, that just spoils the waste of time fun and enjoyment of archive diving.

Not entirely: the list is not up to date.
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 16 Apr 2013, 21:29
I'm working on recreating the list :P

Its a work in progress, but it'll get there. (and i plan on maintaining it once i finish)
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: Is it cold in here? on 16 Apr 2013, 23:33
That will be very cool. Thank you.
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 10 May 2013, 01:56
ok, so, i finished writing down all the specials.

however i decided about halfway though to start adding in the relevant stip numbers.

so now i need to go back to the start of the comic, re-archive-binge, and add in all the strip numbers >_<

plus fix the formatting. because the formatting is horrendous right now.

An annoying amount of these strips are obscured. Can't fully make them out.

I remember jeph does livestreams of drawing strips sometimes. Is there a place I can go back and check those out to see if I can squeeze any additional info on those specials out of the vids?
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: Carl-E on 21 May 2013, 20:41
Unfortunately, he's had to switch services several times over the last few years, and so the accounts (and archived videos) from the old services are gone. 

He was usually booted for violating terms of service for putting up bonercats as a BRB message during the stream.  nd maybe foor the behaviour of some of the people in the chats...  :angel:
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 21 May 2013, 21:15
Aw, dangit. Are there any archives in the service he currently uses?

TY!  Hopefully that'll help fill in at least one hole....

>_> i realize i haven't touched this in a while. its so close to done too......

I swear, i'll finish it up.
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: Carl-E on 30 May 2013, 12:39
You realize of course that, as soon as you declare it finished, there will be a comic in CoD with new specials...

Right? 
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 30 May 2013, 13:12
Eh, that's fine. Maintaining will be easy.

By the way - my all time favorite Specials are:

* Spathe Ham
* Fish Heads
* Unshelled Walnut Muffins
* A Kick In The Shins
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items

* Unshelled Walnut Muffins

Fiber! 


Wait, I think I know which comic that's from (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2316)...

You are correct sir. :)

Wow.

You deserve the glory of being the one to upload that to the wiki.
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 04 Jun 2013, 00:17
K.  :P should I make a new page or just overhaul the specials page?

And FYI,  thanks for the videos kidmore, but they didn't help at all. :(
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: Loki on 04 Jun 2013, 00:27
Wow, that's some good detective work *applauds*


I was like "wait, no specials since 2424"? Then I went on an archive binge and realized we never got finished with the "Emily makes puns and cries" arc. And then I was sad  :-(
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items

The wiki article is already a pair of links, so it makes sense to add one more link, to your list, assuming you have stable hosting.
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: mtmerrick on 04 Jun 2013, 09:24
I consider Google to be about a stable as it gets :P

Uh, what does google switching off services (typically with weeks or months of advance notice) imply about the day to day stability of the services they haven't switched off? Or the likelihood that they are about to just drop off the face of the Earth, as has happened to some hosting services?
Title: Re: Notable/Favorite/Unusual Menu Items
Post by: Is it cold in here? on 09 Jun 2013, 12:21
I picked an imprecise word with "stable".

For purposes of the wiki, it's long-term persistence that I was talking about.

There's already been a problem with Formspring pulling Hannelore's Q&A, for example.

Yay! Mine too  :-D

Although I've always been quite partial to "A single coffee bean, lovingly pounded into your forehead" as well.
