Fighter jet, even if it didn't have the weapons (especially if it didn't), I just wanna fly. Also it took all of my restraint to not abuse my mod powers to fix the last option in the poll. It's espresso, damn it :psyduck:Why the restraint? I went ahead and abused my powers. How can a forum which has spent so much time in CoD let that go? Perhaps the word should be added to our Public Spelling Announcement.
What about a jet that can fly into space? I'd want to be that :emotrex:
Espresso machine doesn't?
Of course, we start the week with Butts Disease - and a Barbie joke.
May May be a mei-mei?Dare Dale be a da-ge?
Faye looks hilarious with the glasses on.Canonically, Fay's optical prescription is coke-bottle (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=68) lenses strong (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=266), so I wonder how she was able to see May through Dale's glasses, which might even be plain glass since he doesn't need them for reading (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2500). Focus adjustment in the earpieces?

If you are sans genitalia and anus, and you know you are sans genitalia and anus, why would you bother mooning anyone?
If you are sans genitalia and anus, and you know you are sans genitalia and anus, why would you bother mooning anyone?Maybe you're an AI without a human-like body and only understand the "form" of mooning someone and not the intended "meaning".
Starting this week off on a classy note.
I wonder what will happen when Momo meets May.
* I think it's reasonable to assume that some AIs don't actually identify as being gendered.
If you are sans genitalia and anus, and you know you are sans genitalia and anus, why would you bother mooning anyone?
In general, when mooning, you do not prominently display your anus. Exposure of the gluts is what makes it mooning. The purpose of mooning is deliberate disrespect to the viewer, no genitalia or excretory orifices are necessary to achieve that end.

Ends with Dale yelling at May and Marigold running off thinking he was talking to her.

Also, $10 says Jeph says the wife's pregnant.

I hope we get an explanation for what Momo was doing in the bathroom since Momo was apparently not talking sense into Marigold.

Jeph has made his distaste for smaller humans quite clear anyway, so if she were, she likely wouldn't be for long and we'd never hear about it, or their relationship wouldn't last for long and we'd hear entirely too much about it.Also, $10 says Jeph says the wife's pregnant.I have no idea where this speculation comes from, I've probably missed something, but I'm not sure it's really the sort of thing Jeph would enjoy us speculating about.

I find May more annoying than Marten's mom, at least MartenMom has time of not being annoying, whereas May has been consistently annoying.She has. If you look at her in terms of a potential arc though, I wouldn't be surprised if she gradually became more and more of a tolerable character. I don't think she's going away after just one more day. I think somehow Dale will end up becoming attached to her because of a single moment of bonding they have in the next few strips and somehow she'll end up sticking around.
This. ^ Jeph has put a lot of effort into May for a one-shot character.There have been other well developed one shot characters- Lt. Potter, arguably Station and Hannerdad,

I'd been a member of this forum for fourteen months before I posted outside COMIC and BAND, but then I ventured out into DISCUSS one day to be rude about French intellectuals and found myself going steel on steel with a whole new regiment of forum grognards. Good times... Slightly more than half my posts are still in COMIC though.I'm pretty much the same, I mostly stuck to the comic section, I think it was becoming a mod that made me venture out into the rest of the forum (almost exactly fourteen months after joining, actually). Like Akima I still post in the comic section a lot but I don't know the distribution of my posts offhand.

I think someone in the last thread already brought up the idea of May going into Momo's old chassis. Considering its sort of anime, school girl clothing, I'd imagine May would want to customise it closer to her tastes.

Maybe there's some equivalent of an orange jumpsuit in the metadata that accompanies May's bits.
So he correctly uses "ensure" instead of "insure", and then he goes and spells "moxie" incorrectly.
/facepalm
Momo is awesome. I'm a bit surprised she knew all that about May after only having met her less than a minute before.Momo is an AI. She doesn't need to wear glasses to run Augmented Reality, it is her natural medium. She's instantly aware of Dale's shift-hours too.
Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moxy (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moxy) has more entries under moxy than moxie.
8. Moxy
A misnomer for moxie
"Chet lacked the moxy to properly spell moxie"
The drink from which the word is taken was specifically Moxie.

It's interesting that she's running with Japanese greeting body-language, which generally she does not. Possibly because it is her home, or maybe she's playing the Yamato nadeshiko for May's benefit. Her iron fist is grinning through the velvet glove a little though. I approve.
Yamato nadeshiko
That aside, even if Jeph should decide to write something as dark as that, I don't think it would fit in with Momo's character either, she's not that nasty a person, and it also wouldn't make sense in the context of her civil rights interest.
So, nobody here's either made or received a hyperbolic threat IRL they knew to be hyperbolic and to not take seriously? Because the overreaction to the banter in the strip is often (unwittingly) more entertaining than the banter itself, which is pretty entertaining.

That was my thought too, but on the other hand, what is hyperbolic in a world with all the over the top elements that the QC world has?
Doesn't Momo have a record of not overstating things?
...Or Momo could've been *reeeeally* sneaky and simply bribed and/or explained the situation to the manager of the pizza place to get him to give Dale that pizza last. That probably wouldn't be "AI" enough for you guys, though. =P
Maybe it would have actually been good for Marigold to hear May compliment her breasts, maybe lift her self esteem a bit.

Kobolds are reptilian and do not have dicks.Reptiles are not without penises. Male turtles and crocodiles have fairly conventional single centrally mounted dicks.

Since everyone else has a theory for how Momo set this up, mine is that Dale's shift ends when the pizza place shuts, and so it was just a matter of ordering the pizza at the last possible moment before they stopped taking orders.And knowing that Dale was working the late shift that day.
Do you get the sense Momo knows May some how?

Alright, after more than a year I'm done lurking.
I can't categorically say to any of you whether the genitalia of kobolds or the etymology of the word "moxy/moxie" brought me out of hiding, but I appreciate the discussion of such topics.

Its like no one hear has ever had someone threaten them with bodily harm jokingly. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time my wife told me she would cut me if I ate the last of something, I would be rich. Like, seriously, her cutting me for eating the last slice of pizza is ethically very wrong. This is a given. There is no connection though that she actually would do it. And I know. She hasn't yet and I keep eating the last of things.

What if the big news Jeph mentioned is a major plot twist?
Secret Project officially launches on Monday! I am excited. I hope you will be excited too.
The real question is, can we make Jeph draw a size comparrison chart of all his females in underwear/swimsuits?
Maybe we need a combination of the random thoughts and weekly comic discussion threads.
I just had an existential QC-verse thought:
What if the big news Jeph mentioned is a major plot twist? Could it be that the QC-verse is in fact a false reality electronically created and implanted into the consciousness of May? The characters may be based off real humans, but maybe her crime was worth the effort of creating and running an artificial reality full of artificial intelligences (and artificial artificial intelligences) solely for the purpose of those AIs one day helping to rehabilitate a criminal.
Actually, what if May is in fact a real human being who has had her consciousness downloaded for the purpose of modifying and returning it to its body for the rehab?
Can AIs actually be CREATED? Is there a limited number? Did all programs simultaneously develop consciousness while some did not?
Wouldn't it be ethically wrong to modify a person's memories and consciousness solely for the purpose of teaching them a lesson that may or may not have actually been based on a real event?
QC may be a simulation in the real world that runs on a supercomputer for the purpose of observing artificial intelligences over time. Perhaps I am inside this simulation, as are all of you.
I should probably go to sleep.
The real question is, can we make Jeph draw a size comparrison chart of all his females in underwear/swimsuits?

That's the one I saw. Terrible ending, I wish I could unsee it. The main character throws away all his effort to get out of the war without even running it past his One True Love (gets on the phone and doesn't even talk after 3 years!), just because he didn't feel terrible about the fight with French street punks, and flies off to known suicide. He 180s from being selfless to the ultimate selfish act. All his wingmates have already suicided, because the formerly calculating base commander suddenly gets stupid when they back him and doesn't fly them off to form a resistance. It's just a case of "okay, we're done with our story, kill everyone or leave them unhappy, because we're trying to hammer home the point that war sucks."It's a big step down from being a mercenary fighter jet.She should watch/read some version of Area 88 (there are several, I've seen 1 and a half), that'll cure her of any desire to go that path.

You want the original OVA of Area 88. For those two don't know, it's an old school anime that follows the pilots of a French Foreign Legion style mercenary company that is composed only of fighter pilots. It is brutal, real and very hard core while not being a gore fest. If you liked Mobile Suit Gundam: 8th MS Team this is the anime you wish you've known about.

And now for something completely different!
... put your foot down?
Patrick was a gentleman
He came from decent people,
He built a church in Dublin town
And on it put a steeple.
The Wicklow hills are very high
And so is the hill of Howth, sir,
But there's a hill much higher still,
Much higher than them both, sir.
On the top of this high hill
St Patrick preached his sermon
Which drove the fogs into the bogs
And banished all the vermin.
There's not a mile of Erin's Isle
Where dirty vermin musters
But there he put his dear forefoot
And murdered them in clusters.
In the frozen land of Nador, they were forced to eat Sir Robin's minstrels.
