Another week, another Poll.
-
There was a grave mistake with the poll. I fix'd it :roll:
-
Now, is this what I THINK will happen?
(party hijinx)
or what I WANT to happen
(Dora and Tai hot dancing)
Hello, QC information? I'd like the number for fan service, please :evil:
-
There was a grave mistake with the poll. I fix'd it :roll:
Actually, I nearly added 'Police RAID the party' :-D
-
Actually, I at first read "police raid the party"^^
-
*Grins*
-
Considering Tai is apparently going she probably invited Dora, so I suggest that Marten will spend the entire time Tai and Dora aren't dancing/making out (damn near the same thing if your doin' it right, I know, but…) talking exclusively to one or both of them and miss the point, again.
-
I'm not sure about her inviting Dora. Tai's going to this party specifically for Marten, she's mentioned not wanting to go originally. But Marten missing the point and talking to her exclusively sounds plausible.
-
Another week, another Poll.
Time for Poll dancing? ...O.K., that was lame, I'll admit.
-
Dora may have had to bow out due to working at the shop.
-
I'm pretty sure "Marten can train interns" and "Marten isn't transphobic" are the only pieces of character development for this guy who was once the "main character" since Padma. Maybe this party will have some interesting happenings.
-
I like Bench Girl. She's all "I HAS A BAG" in panel 1 and then in panel 3 she's all "NO THEY BE STEALIN' MY BAG".
-
Delilah has HAIR.
Onlly seen Marten high once, I think - at Dora's folks? I seem to recall Dora getting a contact buzz - did Marten partake?
That kind of party can be a real drag if it's not your cup of "tea".
Although he's already the life of the party with just one inspired idea...
-
Jeph resisted the urge to have Marten say "hey there". Jeph, I am disappoint.
-
Dora jealousy: activate!
-
Wait, what does Dora have to be jealous about now?
-
I agree with the boss: "It's gonna be one of THOSE parties."
Delilah looks like she could be the long lost brother of the guy who asked about the CoD Dating Service.
-
Marten is now part of the tribe.
-
Now, if you could mix the post smoke with helium, no one would ever stop laughing.
-
That sounds AWESOME.
-
Delilah has HAIR.
She certainly does.
On her legs.
-
Radical prediction:
Delilah's dreadlocks will be gone by the end of the party. The question is whether they will be shaved off or will turn out to have been a wig the whole time
-
Now I'm thinking of Freddie Mercury's cat.
...which, among a host of other possible pop-music associations, is probably the best.
-
I like Bench Girl. She's all "I HAS A BAG" in panel 1 and then in panel 3 she's all "NO THEY BE STEALIN' MY BAG".
When the page loaded and I first glanced at panel 1, for a moment I was like "Is she so high that she's ironing her clothes while she's wearing them?" (somewhat related (http://i.imgur.com/wKg2Tbw.jpg))
Delilah has HAIR.
She certainly does.
On her legs.
And underarms.
-
Now, if you could mix the post smoke with helium, no one would ever stop laughing.
That sounds like the kind of thing that ends in asphyxiation. :psyduck:
-
I can't recall having ever seen Marten high. Could be entertaining.
I remember how bewildered I was the first time somebody at a party offered me what appeared to be a plastic bag half-full of plain old air (the product of a Volcano isn't technically smoke and doesn't look like smoke, or look like anything) and said "Want some?" I think I stared blankly for a moment or two and said, "Want some what?"
Pretty sure Dora's not coming--Tai'd have a hard time being Marten's wing-lady if she were on a date.
-
Usul, we have hair the likes of which even God has never seen.
-
So, seeing flying elephants under the influence of pot in a balloon animal is pretty much a given, right?
-
Purple plaid flying elephants.
And I'm kinda not looking forward to this week. Even though I grew up in the era of Cheech and Chong and excessive drug humor, I never found it appealing nor necessary. (I don't drink, either.)
-
Now, if you could mix the post smoke with helium, no one would ever stop laughing.
Actually, that combo sent a few people to the hospital to one party that I went to. One became braindead and the family pulled the plug a week after that diagnosis.
I rather not talk further about this.
-
I am sorry to hear that :(
I like Delilah.
I think Bench Girl makes a sad impression, like she doesn't even want to be there.
Marten is gonna end up talking to her.
-
I can imagine Faye making every kind of fun at Delilah's expense if Marten hooks up with her. Which is a bit sad, really.
-
I think Bench Girl makes a sad impression, like she doesn't even want to be there.
Marten is gonna end up talking to her.
Agreed, Bench Girl looks promising. Jeph wouldn't draw her just as a background character without a purpose :-D. She looks sad, though, like she has been commandeered to do do this job, but would rather be somewhere else.
-

It probably doesn't help that her bag of high got taken out of her hands just as she finished inflating it.
-
Couldn't she just wrap her lips around the volcano? :laugh:
-
Delilah has HAIR.
Delilah has hair more like Samson. I dred to think what would happen if it were cut.
And isn't a Volcano a bit yuppie?
-
Delilah has HAIR.
She certainly does.
On her legs.
Yay! So do I, perhaps we could be friends.
People, don't use helium for cheap laughs at parties. It's a finite resource with a lot of seriously useful uses and when we run out we are fucked.
-
And isn't a Volcano a bit yuppie?
Perhaps she's a trustafarian.
-
And I'm kinda not looking forward to this week. ... I never found [drug humor] appealing nor necessary. (I don't drink, either.)
Agreed.
But, who knows, maybe Jeph will surprise us with something interesting and creative.
In real life, I would feel so very, very uncomfortable and out of place at that kind of party. Not saying it's a bad kind of party, just not my thing.
-
Jeph tends not to be crass about drugs, so I'm not worried. OK, I am worried, but about Marten's lack of success in his life, not drug issues.
-
Now, is this what I THINK will happen?
(party hijinx)
or what I WANT to happen
(Dora and Tai hot dancing)
I went for WANT (and yes, thats the hot dancing).
Actually, I nearly added 'Police RAID the party' :-D
The band or just the actual police ?
I'm pretty sure "Marten can train interns" and "Marten isn't transphobic" are the only pieces of character development for this guy who was once the "main character" since Padma. Maybe this party will have some interesting happenings.
And Raven hasnt been seen in ... ?
Wait, what does Dora have to be jealous about now?
Party !
-
I wouldn't mind seeing Padma at the party...
-
Delilah has HAIR.
She certainly does.
On her legs.
Interesting, but perhaps a bit exaggerated? Or are some girls really that hairy? If she is into the "natural look", wouldn't she also have armpit and facial hair? (She might have armpit hair, there is a slight shadow underneath her arm.)
I cannot recall if bare feet have occurred earlier in the series, perhaps Jeph is learning to draw them? Delilah's feet are not particularly pretty (even without hair), and Bench Girl's feet, while better, are not perfect either IMHO.
-

It actually is possible to manufacture helium, although currently it's extremely expensive relative to extracting existing helium.
-

Not likely, since Jeph has her back in Cali.

He might surprise us. But I doubt he'll bring her back. He doesn't seem to do that.
-

It's not exaggerated at all. I know women who are quite a bit more hairy than Delilah is.

Numerically I have far more hairs than that on my legs. I've not actually done a survey but I'm pretty sure that I have the same number of hairs as a man would, but possibly they're finer and in my case less visible due to colour (I have blonde hair, so my leg hair is almost translucent). Jeph hasn't, to my knowledge, ever drawn leg hair before so it's understandable that he's not yet perfected making it photo-realistic (which wouldn't suit his style anyway).
She would only have facial hair if, you know, she had facial hair. The reason that most women don't have beards and moustaches isn't that they spend as much time shaving their faces as they do shaving their legs, it's because they just don't grow hair on their face.
I think she does have armpit hair, but even if she didn't, what makes you think that she's got leg hair because she's into some specific look? I have leg hair because I can't be bothered to shave them, but I shave under my arms because it's itchy otherwise.

Most recent mention, I think:

Three months ago our time, so probably less than that comic time.

Nuclear fusion, or what are you referring to?

Not fusion using current technology, that would be *really* expensive (although the QC universe may be different, as it is far ahead of us technologically). But radioactive decay produce helium in the form of alpha particles, so a radioactive sample in a closed container would, over time, produce small amounts of helium. Actually, this is how the helium we mine from gas wells have formed over millions of years.
Helium should be considered a limited natural resource, to be used only for serious purposes. It really is a waste to use helium just for fun. And it can be dangerous to inhale helium, as it may lead to asphyxiation and brain damage. Read this (http://www.partyplus.com.au/Articles-and-Resources/Articles-and-Resources/Helium-inhalation-its-no-laughing-matter.asp) article for more info.
-
I've reread today's strip a few times now, and it strikes me as a bit odd that the girl sitting on the bench isn't introduced to Marten, or aknowledged at all, really. I can only assume that means she will be introduced to Marten in tomorrow's strip, which might mean that she'll have a larger role to play than that of random bystander. But I might be reading too much into things, as usual...
-
See, I like puns/plays-on-words more than most. But I think it's deeply inappropriate to use them in a serious context, because it undermines the message. And it sucks, because that was an informative article otherwise.

:facepalm: I really have to disagree. This is an Aussie version of PartyCity. A serious context might not have the same impact on the presumed audience. You must tailor your message to the audience if you want to be noticed.
By the way, PartyCity do not have a similar warning on their helium products :x

I'm joining Team Bench Girl. She seems like a good girl to hang out with.
-
I like her dress, but we don't really know much about her yet. She might be an awful person.

No, she looks really nice. Awful persons don't look nice.

I'm just trying to figure out what the heck that is she used to inflate the "weed balloon"?

It actually is possible to manufacture helium, although currently it's extremely expensive relative to extracting existing helium.
Nuclear fusion, or what are you referring to?
Fission is a lot cheaper and easier, plus it occurs naturally on Earth. The uranium decay chains for example, generally produces several α-particles before it settles on a stable isotope of lead, all of which could theoretically be collected.
-

It's a vaporizer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporizer_(inhalation_device)).

That is where all our helium comes from, actually. From the natural radioactivity in the earh. And that is why it is practically a limited recource. Of course the decay of uranium produces new alpha particles all the time, but the process is very slow. It can't keep up with how fast we blast helium into the atmosphere (and then into space) right now. In fact most physics institutes and the like have (almost, like 1% loss) closed helium circles, but for example hospitals, which also need helium to cool the superconducting magnets in the MRI machines, often don't.
I haven't heard of a process available to us with current technology to produce helium, other than getting some from nuclear reactors, which only produce very small amounts.
So one really shouldn't waste helium. It cannot be replaced with anything else in many areas of science/medicine, specifically those working at ultra-low temperatures.
Edit on the topic of inhaling various gases: There is something way more entertaining than inhaling helium: Inhaling sulphur hexafluoride. However, this is also way more dangerous and should NOT EVER be attempted at home. Sulphur hexafluoride is heavier than air and thus makes your voice really deep - it sounds awesome. My first experimental physics professor did it in the lecture, but afterwards he had to do a handstand for a while to make the gas come back out of his lungs in order not to impair his lung functions - since it's heavier than air, it won't come out again otherwise and that's what makes it dangerous.
-
Really, helium being inert has caused it to be used places where hydrogen would make much more sense.
-
I am disappointed there is no "Purple monkey dishwasher" option in the poll this week :(
-
GO bench Girl!
-
So are we breaking out the hashtags and T-shirts for Team Bench Girl yet?
-
SWING girl. She's on a porch swing, not a bench.
C'mon, people!
-
I wonder if it's such a good idea to do this infront o the house. I mean, I would probably get suspicious if I saw somebody inhaling from a bag or balloon. Either vaporized stuff or N₂O but probably nothing legal. (Though I don't know the situation on N₂O in the US. Here you're allowed to buy it and use it for it's designated purpose, that is making whipped cream, but inhaling it is illegal. Theoretically it's illegal to buy it with the intent to inhale it.
But anyway, I would get very suspicious if I saw something like this.
-
SWING girl. She's on a porch swing, not a bench.
Hmm - I did not notice at first, but that hookup is not stable. You need a 4-way hookup, like this (http://www.cedarwoodproductsdirect.com/image/obj6000geo2733pg156p39.jpg).
Perhaps Marten can help Bench Girl making weed smoke balloon animals?
-
I'm thinking Jeph didn't have a good reference handy. But yeah, that's a terrible swing setup.
-
And it can be dangerous to inhale helium, as it may lead to asphyxiation and brain damage.
In contrast to Butts Disease, which can lead to assfixation and brain damage.
Tai turned down drugs?

Nuclear fusion, or what are you referring to?
If you take a radioactive material that emits alpha particles, then add electrons, you get helium atoms. But either you wait a long time, or you have to deal with a fuckton of radiation to get any useful amounts from this process.
-
Tai seems to have been changing a fair bit lately - another example of character development I guess!

:-D :-D :-D The assfixation is a very central element in QC. Just check my signature below.

Actually, what she said was "I'm good". Which reminds me of those people who have a couple of beers before a party to "get an early start".

Totally though Bench Girl was trying to iron her skirt while wearing it in the first panel.

It's the same here (http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/dll/N20_state_laws.htm)as your country, you can buy it legally and it gets used for multiple legal purposes but it's illegal when it is used for the intent of getting high.
Actually, there was a bust at a concert in the real Northampton in 2009 regarding the usage of Nitrous Oxide (http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/01/northampton_police_arrest_14_o.html).

*Sings* My, my MYYYYY Delilah ;D
This should prove to be an ...... interesting phartay.
Sourced from Wikipedia artical on Helium-3.
Current US industrial consumption of helium-3 is approximately 60,000 liters (approximately 8 kg) per year;[27] cost at auction has typically been approximately $100/liter although increasing demand has raised prices to as much as $2,000/liter in recent years.[28] Helium-3 is naturally present in small quantities due to radioactive decay, but virtually all helium-3 used in industry is manufactured. Helium-3 is a product of tritium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium) decay, and tritium can be produced through neutron bombardment of deuterium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium), lithium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium), boron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron), or nitrogen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen) targets. Production of tritium in significant quantities requires the high neutron flux of a nuclear reactor; breeding tritium with lithium-6 consumes the neutron, while breeding with lithium-7 produces a low energy neutron as a replacement for the consumed fast neutron.
Current supplies of helium-3 come, in part, from the dismantling of nuclear weapons where it accumulates,[29][30] however the need for warhead disassembly is diminishing. Consequently tritium itself is in short supply, and the US Department of Energy recently began producing it by the lithium irradiation method at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Watts Bar reactor.[27] Substantial quantities of tritium could also be extracted from the heavy water moderator in CANDU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANDU) nuclear reactors.
Production of helium-3 from tritium at a rate sufficient to meet world demand will require significant investment, as tritium must be produced at the same rate as helium-3, and approximately eighteen times as much tritium must be maintained in storage as the amount of helium-3 produced annually by decay (production rate dN/dt from number of moles or other unit mass of tritium N, is N γ = N (ln 2)/t˝ where the value of t˝/(ln 2) is about 18 years; see radioactive decay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay)). If commercial fusion reactors were to use helium-3 as a fuel, they would require tens of tonnes of helium-3 each year to produce a fraction of the world's power, requiring substantial expansion of facilities for tritium production and storage.[31]
-
Ordinary helium is Helium-4 (2 protons, 2 neutrons). Helium-3 (2 protons, 1 neutron) is much more rare, expensive, and valuable. You certainly could not afford that in balloons. The tritium method is the only practical method to produce Helium-3, as it is almost impossible to extract Helium-3 from the (very small) fraction present in naturally occurring helium.
-
I dunno, I'd say "I'm good" if offered alcohol or drugs and I don't do drugs and very rarely drink. What I mean is "I'm good without", not "I'm good because I've had some already". Of course Tai might well mean the latter but she doesn't necessarily.
-
Ordinary helium is Helium-4. Helium-3 is much more rare, expensive, and valuable.
Specifically, 3He is 0.000137% of naturally occurring Helium on Earth.

Actually, the ratio varies between different reservoirs. But 3He is very rare. Enough nitpicking for today.
-
Well, we know that Tai enjoys the occasional recreational substance. Presumably this girl knows that as well. I don't think we really need to read that much into this though, it just could be that Tai doesn't want to get high right now. I mean she's really only there for Marten's sake anyway.
-
That's the kinda party I like.
Also, it's not smoke. Geez, Marten.

Not sure how accurate this is, since I'm taking it from sources I only half remember, but isn't one of the major reasons cited for returning to the moon due to the high amount of 3He there is?
-
The volcano bags aren't latex, they're more like roasting bags (nylon I think). They aren't stretchy and wouldn't tie into balloon animals. Trying it would likely break the bag and result in a lot of sad stoners.

I'm just mean enough to say, let them find that out.
-
Now, if you could mix the post smoke with helium, no one would ever stop laughing.
Did you mean nitrous oxide? Or just the squeaky voice thing being funny?
-
Jeph wouldn't draw her just as a background character without a purpose :-D.
I don't know, he's done a lot of walk-ons that are just there to fill things out or say/do specific things to further the storyline, then disappear. Just have wait and see.
-
Sad that girl is just being referred to as "bench girl" or "swing girl". Give her a name please Sir Jeph.
Oh. It would be weird if Padma showed up - and it's weird, I actually THOUGHT OF THAT shortly before this strip came up.
I always vote and then go "oh wait, I should have voted for THIS....." and didn't.
-
Now that we've made a thing out of it, swing girl will never beer seen again.
-
Actually, what she said was "I'm good". Which reminds me of those people who have a couple of beers before a party to "get an early start".
Pre-gaming - I can see Tai doing that, seeing that she had no problem doing it at work. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2203)
-
Honestly, I would hope that Padma wouldn't just show up at a party or something and run into Marten accidentally. That would me she came back into town and never let him know. Which would pretty much indicate that she didn't want to see him for whatever reason. Also kind of dumb thing to do if you were trying to avoid your ex and not let him know you were around... The town isn't that big apparently, so she would run into him eventually...

Bob's a hugger
-
now that's a hearty welcome.
-
Bob could probably bench press Lt. Potter.
-
I'm the same way, really. I'll hug anyone.
-
It's not a hug, it's a bear hug!

I am disappointed there is no "Purple monkey dishwasher" option in the poll this week :(
It was his week off.
[RowanAtkinsonVoice]Hello ... Bob.[/RowanAtkinsonVoice]

Ehh, I don't know. It feels wrong to keep using Purple Monkey Dishwasher now that Marcia Wallace is dead :(
Maybe it should be retired.

Say, could somebody fix the titles on the last few WCDT threads? The New Year's Week thread only went to 2611, because Jeph skipped a day, so the threads since then both have titles that start one number later than they should. That is, the thread for New Year's Week should say "2609-2611" instaead of "2609-2612"; the thread for Jan 6-10 should say "2612-2616" instead of "2613-2617"; and the thread for Jan 13-17 should say "2617-2621" instead of "2618-2622".
Minor, I know, but it sets off my latent OCD tendencies... 8-)
-
Why was Bench Girl ignored completely? Something is very wrong here.
-
She'll be back.
-
Hehehehe this is awesome. I have a friend we call bob who is also a gentle giant. His hair is more in the lines of Delilah's though. :P
-
The woman in the background on the porch was there as a Symbol to let us know this is a swinger's party.
-
I wanted to make that pun, but since Tai wasn't Marten's date I didn't know how to get there.

Is there a reason why people are expecting the return of an old character? Did Jeph say something about it?
Why was Bench Girl ignored completely? Something is very wrong here.
She may have stood up an introduced herself to Marten two seconds after Tai said she could make a giraffe. Since there's been a fast-forward with a move indoors, we don't know how much happened between strips, including whether or not Marten accepted the weed. Since nobody's got the bag in the indoor scene, Bench Girl probably got it back, which could've happened in the course of introductions.
Alternately.... So far we've seen her (1) filling the bag of high and (2) making a sad puppy face when it's taken out of her hand. We haven't seen her eyes leave the bag of high to acknowledge the presence of the newcomers. Possibly she was already so stoned that Delilah knew better than to try to involve her in a rational conversation, and she's going to spend the next hour or so sitting in the same spot and staring raptly at the hedge.
The volcano bags aren't latex, they're more like roasting bags (nylon I think). They aren't stretchy and wouldn't tie into balloon animals. Trying it would likely break the bag and result in a lot of sad stoners.
But could a balloon-animal-type balloon be attached to a Volcano? Does the, um, vapor (guessing that's what you call what you get from a vaporizer) come out with enough pressure to inflate such a balloon?
I like Bob! :-D In a crowd like this one, bear-hugging everyone he meets would be totally normal and welcome... Marty's reaction is hilarious. It looks like the theme of this arc may be "Marten is immersed in an unfamiliar subculture."
-
Nice face on Tai in panel number 1 today, could it have something to do with Delilah's hand on her ass?
-
I think that's probably just a perspective thing - Tai's in a monogamous relationship and she must have noticed by now that Dora is anxious and jealous enough that she'd not like someone else feeling up her girlfriend, so I'd suspect Tai wouldn't look so happy if it were occurring (she's had too much experience of drama not to be a little concerned). I'd have guessed she's happy because it's a familiar, fun environment that she's introducing a friend to.
-
Bob likes it!
@jephjacques that's awesome. I woke up this morning and laughed my ass off.
-
Wait, Bob's based off a real person? Who is he? (His name is too common for google to be of help)
-
Irishbroadsword (https://twitter.com/irishbroadsword)

Yes, I already saw his Twitter, but I mean WHO IS HE? Unless that's all you have. (And thanks for the link)
-
He is Bob Williams, a friend of Jeph's - I'm pretty much assuming he's from UMass or Amherst.
-
Ahh ok, I kind of figured he was a well-known person that I just hadn't heard of.

I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME
-
Whenever we play this game, you first have to flip the hammer behind your back and catch it. The number of flips you get is the number or swings you get.
-
I CAN WIN THIS GAME!
We should make it more fun though.
Someone get my sledgehammer from the garage and let's go find some rail road spikes!
-
The person saying "heh" is probably wearing sunglasses 'cause he/she is baaad, but at first glance I thought it was a pair of safety glasses.
Safety glasses would be a GOOD IDEA for this game.
-
Bob pretty much gives advice for life in the last panel.
-
Lemme guess: Marten gets shitfaced, bangs hammer into head......
.......and we're treated to a Dallas-esque fantasy arc where Marten is still with Dora, Faye is still single, and Hanners still is Hanners.....
-
Most likely, Marten gets shitfaced, bangs hammer into thumb, and Delilah has to poke a heated paperclip into his thumbnail. :psyduck:
-
The question is, who will get hammered and who will get nailed?
-
Did Bob carry that stump into the yard on his shoulder?
-
Probably!
-
She has hair in her armpits?
Please at least have her die from a paper cut cause she's one of them "no vaccination folks" at the end of this arc.
I have friends with similar presentations to hers and all of them believe in modern medicine. Don't be so judgmental. Grooming habits don't actually affect intelligence. :|
Anyway, I'm glad we're in arcs that aren't about Dale or Marigold now. I'm enjoying this one so far.

Winner!

The stump game is only dangerous if you blindfold the person before they try hitting the nail.
-
A rather formal looking shirt (white, buttoned, with a collar) worn outside the pants. I thought Jim was seriously wierd wearing it like that. Here we have another character dressed he same way. Is that something they do in Northampton?
-
It's done a fair bit around colleges. Sort of a preppie-gone-wrong look. THe pants are usually jeans.
OK, more like preppie-discovered-mind altering substances-and-gave-up-on-preppie look.
At least,that's how I saw it back in the 90's.
Last time I played a game like that it involved a watermelon and my drink was a bottle of Stolichnaya.
I woke up with a broken elbow, and a Russian composition final that afternoon... which is when the hangover kicked in.
-
Stump sounds like a fun game. You can play to win, play to lose, or just play the course, and have fun no matter what.
It will ruin the block for other purposes though. For example I would not want to chop firewood on a block that has been used in a game - I appreciate the blade of my axe too much.
-
I could see myself playing that. I have crap aim, but a reasonable alcohol tolerance.
The stump game is only dangerous if you blindfold the person before they try hitting the nail.
Generally, after the fourth drink, the blindfold would probably be rendered useless...

Aw, drinking games can be bad. Basically, you have very little control over your own consumption (unless you play really good), and everybody end up very drunk. There might be some funny scenes (puking? Yes, please!), but probably not a good setting for new friendships.
-

Writing in Russian with a vodka hangover and a broken elbow actually sounds like a very Russian thing to do. You should have been given an A.
I don't understand drinking games. I have not noticed that people need much persuading to drink, and those who do, probably should not be.

Heh, Marten certainly knows about playing with hammers while drunk. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1603)

I have used a hammer and other tools while very hungover, but I don't think that qualifies me to attempt such a game. I'd need to be pretty drunk to start. My scenery teacher would join forces with my shop and "alternative energies" (which was basically shop class for hippies) teachers from high school to track me down and kill me as retribution.

In that case, I'm just going to agree with the "SO WHAT".
As far as I know, body hair of any kind just gives a +1 to sweat and a +1 to cuddliness. :P

I often wear shirts that way, and some of mine are styled to be worn that way; it works better if they're straight cut (or nearly) at the bottom.
Re: "SO WHAT", there's no need to shout!

When I do that it's because I'm going somewhere informal after work and don't have time to change, but don't want or need my shirt to be tucked in anymore.
-
Stump seems like a terribly dangerous game to play.
-
Who plays that game with a hammer? Where I'm from it's played with an Axe.
-
Now I see what Jeph meant when he said it was going to be "one of those parties": a party full of college kids who spend the whole time getting as high and/or drunk as possible. While Marten enjoys the occasional drunkenness, I suspect this is not going to be his cup of tea.
...Unless the fact that he knows nobody there enables him to drop his inhibitions and join in the "fun", but he's pretty self-conscious, so I dunno.
Who plays that game with a hammer? Where I'm from it's played with an Axe.
How do you hit a nail with an axe?? Sounds almost impossible to do. How much fun is it if you have almost no chance of making the other person take a drink? Not to mention playing with an axe while drunk sounds a lot more dangerous than playing with a hammer...
Edit: Oh, yeah, and how do drunk people even remember which nail is theirs when all nails look alike?
-
I have friends with similar presentations to hers and all of them believe in modern medicine. Don't be so judgmental. Grooming habits don't actually affect intelligence. :|
I was going to say something similar but you put it far more eloquently, thank you.

if you can't remember if it's your nail or not, you have to drink

You could try to come up with a different one, unless you get stumped.
-
How do you hit a nail with an axe??
<sigh>An axe is a wedge with a sharp and a blunt end. With the blunt end first, it makes a forceful hammer. But I agree it is dangerous, and not to be recommended.</sigh>

So the entertainment here is basically getting stoned and/or drunk. (Or, I suppose, watching others do so.)
Yeah, not my scene at all.

There's still the drum circle! As far as I know, that doesn't require either... though I can't say I know much about the matter.

RE: Axe. Done a similar game throwing a hatchet into a stump from about 10 paces. It sticks, everyone else takes a drink. It doesn't, you take a drink. Miss the stump, you have to down your drink.
Which makes it a lot more likely you'll miss the stump on your next turn...
And don't throw until the person retrieving the last hatchet is behind you. :-o

So this comic made me laugh even though I have no idea what's going on. Did he miss and hit the stump so hard that all nails flew away?

I think he hit the stump hard enough to knock the nails off on purpose.

Heres my guess-
youll get people trying to whack nails hard enough to make friends chug. if you miss (which theyll likely do at ful blast), you drink anyone whos nail you knock off.
obviously as the game goes on, and the nails are driven in far enough they dont just come out, youll end up with a lot more chuggers.
-
Also, don't throw the hatchet with the rubber safety guard still on.
Don't swing one with the leather guard on it either...that was one foul up others never let you live down :-(

Spare me the condescending sighs, please. :roll: I briefly considered adding "Unless you hit it with the blunt edge" to that post, but I honestly couldn't (and still can't) see the point of using an axe instead of a hammer if you're going to do that.
Unless you just want the game to be more dangerous...

I think the point was one spectacular dramatic moment. Probably more entertainment packed into that one second than would have been in playing the game out slowly. (And they can always stick the nails back in, so nothing's really lost.)
Drinking games never made sense to me. Is the purpose to consume your beverage or regulate how others consume?
The logic of drinking games is very counterintuitive.
Drinks are always consumed as a penalty by the loser; the goal, as expressed in the rules of the game, is always to get the other players to drink. Since people who play drinking games like drinking and getting drunk, why are the games set up so this supposedly desirable, fun activity is "forced" on people as a "punishment"?
Could this have originated in some sort of guilt or desire to deny responsibility? So that instead of saying you drank half a bottle of vodka because you chose to, you can say you had to do it because your friends kept hitting your nails?
-
Perhapsh .. perhaps it ties into my point above: However much fun you might say it is to be drunk yourself, it's still more fun to see others drunker than you.

Yep. There are times you know something hilariously stupid will occur that is worth the wait. And if you are a good group of friends, someone else will be that person off to the side next time allowing you to enjoy the festivities and create your own hilariously stupid moment
-
Perhaps the rules in most drinking games are like that to ensure that everybody is about as drunk as each other. While it's fun to be drunk at a party, it isn't much fun to be the Obviously Most Drunk present. Conversely, being sober when everyone else is drunk is either fun or very unfun - depending on the personality of the individual.
-
Speaking of 300, Re: Bob's 'Request'
COME AND GET THEM!!!
-
How does it go? When you can't tell who's most drunk, it's you.
-
I am pretty certain that I would immediately become the Obviously Most Drunk person in the room after just one round of any drinking game.

Y'know, this strip sure reinforces my thought that safety glasses would be very desirable in this game. Flying nails... yeek.

The point of drinking games is to have a semi-structured activity involving alcohol that induces people who may not know each other to interact and establish social connection as the inhibition reducing effects of alcohol (and marijuana) multiply the effect.
Geesh, I think more than a few of you really _really_ need to go to a party, get a good buzz on, relax and if possible get laid so you quit acting so tight assed.

I'm surprised nobody has commented on Delilah's lack of bra yet. Much attention seems to have been given to her hair, but not that.
Possibly because it is pretty common and unremarkable in QC? Or we're not hung up about women's underwear choices. Whatever.
-
Oh Marten, you will never move on in life if you hang around with your ex's partner. Seriously, it's all going to end in tears, heartache and misery.
-
I wonder if Delilah will ever find out that Marten is actually Dora's ex, and if so, when, and how she will react.
He already impressed her with his balloon animals idea, but she could end up finding his attitude reguarding Dora and Tai quite endearing.
@greywolfe, he's hanging out with a friend who volunteered to be his wing-girl (whatever that means). I don't see how it's a problem.

Marten has never expressed anything but total okay-ness with Tai dating Dora. Since he's an honest fella, I'm taking him at his word. Overall, Marten and Tai's friendship strikes me as healthy, with support, affection, and good advice flowing both ways.

Since Marten now genuinely seems to be ok with Dora and Tai dating and it seems that the only thing he wants to do regarding this is be friends with both of them in peace, I wish people would stop saying "But it must bother him. I bet he's just acting or has some secret plan." If I was him, it would really get on my nerves.

Slightly related to this week's comics, does anyone else wonder if the hippie chick mentioned here (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1695) was Delilah? It would be a nice little throwback and an intimate history might explain some of Delilah's tone from today. Sounds to me like Delilah wants it to end between Tai and Dora, although maybe she is just teasing a little harder than is appropriate.
-
Looks to me like this is your first post, so welcome! :-D
The "hippie chick" being Delilah would make for a great callback, I agree! I'm not sure I see how anything she said hints at her wanting Tai to be available though. I think she's genuinely wondering about Dora's ex's motives, no different than when Gabby was pestering Marten about it.

Nobody was arguing about the point of drinking games. Just the reasoning behind the rules calling the "if X, drink" a punishment.
I also have a little rule, though I think it's more of a shortcut in reasoning. It goes like this: whoever tells someone to relax also needs to relax a bit. This also applies to me citing that rule, but that's just me being slightly pedantic.
But yeah, comic. Good to see Marten's having fun, though I don't think Tai expected it to be at her expense. :-D

-

I agree, sounds to me more like Delilah may have had some issues in a relationship like that, so is skeptical of any ex's motive. Since she doesn't know Marten well (and I'm sure she'll be surprised to know Tai brought said ex to the party as a friend) she has no basis on which to judge yet.

I can't help but imagine some sort of QC Whack-A-Mole game....

Slightly related to this week's comics, does anyone else wonder if the hippie chick mentioned here (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1695) was Delilah? It would be a nice little throwback and an intimate history might explain some of Delilah's tone from today. Sounds to me like Delilah wants it to end between Tai and Dora, although maybe she is just teasing a little harder than is appropriate.
Ooh, good one! I bet Jeph forgot.

17:34 on a Sunday and I've decided to lock the Poll.
I'll probably make a new WCT Thread tomorrow, but if anyone decides to beat me to it, you're welcome to go ahead.
-
I'll give four-to-one odds that Monday's strip opens with Delilah saying to Marten "Wait, YOU'RE the guy who dated her before Tai?" or words to that effect.
You really, really don't want a group therapy session that involves potential weapons. Trust me on this. :facepalm:
Personal experience, eh? My sympathies.
-
Considering Monday's strip has already been posted, I don't think anyone will take you up on that bet. :-D
-
People in the strip keep reacting in a way that would make more sense if Tai had broken them up. Otherwise, Tai doesn't "owe" Marten anything except friendship and decent treatment.
-
Well, one could argue that "friendship and decent treatment" would be going to Marten and telling him before she started to date Dora...which she did.

Considering it doesn't open the way he bet, why wouldn't everyone take him up on that?
-
Well, second panel is close enough, right?
-
Nope! I'd still claim to have won the bet on a technicality. Also, I love Marten's "bit of both" line.
-
That was really good characterization.

It had? I posted that at 4:15 pm on Sunday, my time, and he doesn't usually post the comics until 8 or 9 pm my time, so it didn't even occur to me to check...
-
He's been posting them early while he's in the U.K.

Ahhhhhhh...
