Jeez, Angus, is this the first time you've met a dude let down by a one-night stand?Maybe it's the first time he cared, as opposed to enjoying it for the lulz?
Oh, so entanglement is actually about limbs? :-D
Why, this certainly explains why people find quantum physics so interesting.
Saying that, your thought also only works if we are to assume that Dale fucked her in the ass, which... you know, more power to him, but seems unlikely for a first real date, eh?
They are now linked in a way that defies all known physics and reality, the dance of the booty!Quantum entanglement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement) is also known as "spooky action at a distance". Meaning, somewhere (probably at CoD) Dale is now helplessly dancing behind the counter. As a rookie, he probably is not alone on duty. I imagine Dora is there with him, after Faye's shift ended. Dora and the customers are probably applauding, making Dale dance even more, and poor, entangled Marigold must follow suit. Eventually, they will both collapse from exhaustion.
They are now linked in a way that defies all known physics and reality, the dance of the booty!Their actions that morning have collapsed their wavefunctions into the same energy level. Thus, when Marigold performs the action of dancing, Faye and Angus can assume that, given that Dale is in the same energy level, Dale is also dancing.
Jeez, Angus, is this the first time you've met a dude let down by a one-night stand?
Not impossible, no, but I'm pretty sure Dale is not that kind of guy. And that Marigold is not that kind of gal, for that matter.There are no kinds in these matters. Only innumerable variations.
Marbear is proof positive that anyone can eventually find happiness.We can find it, just not permanently.
For the record, I'm a dude and I never needed to "try" ONS to know they arent for me.
I dont think Marten was really going for an ONS, either. Its only natural he's disappointed that it turned out to be one.

Anal on a second date/first time having sex also seems pretty unlikely, albeit not impossible ;)Depends on their attitude to certain things; I am given to understand that certain regional cultures place such an emphasis on waiting for marriage (to have vaginal sex) that the younger set have taken to using anal sex as a "technically legal" substitute before marriage. Similarly, there are folks that use anal sex as a form of contraception since, again for cultural reasons, they are reluctant to use more, ah (I was gonna say intrusive, but…), artificial means to prevent pregnancy.
Some guys just aren't built to "hit it and quit it".

Indeed, I doubt that a person who WAS built that way would have so many devoted female friends, since a certain lack of respect for one's partners is implied in such an attitude.I don't see how there's a lack of respect, if said partners are on the same page.

Right at the climax of the video I realized the dark haired girl is the girl Raj dated on The Big Bang Theory.
Garfunkel and Oates FTW!
Thank you, that was a helpful perspective. I was having the same thought as Near Lurker since I've heard lots of dudes express more or less the same feelings as Marten... But I'm not a dude, so they probably feel more comfortable saying it to me.Jeez, Angus, is this the first time you've met a dude let down by a one-night stand?
Most guys would be reluctant to admit to other guys that they were let down by a one-night stand, mainly because of the reaction coming from Angus. So even aside from the fact that many guys would just be happy they had sex (especially if it's been awhile), I can believe this is the first time Angus has heard another guy express disappointment.
Cultures in which people aren't comfortable with condoms and expect everyone to stay virgin till marriage usually aren't very good at educating their young folks about STIs and other sexual health matters. The technical-virgin bum-fuckers probably don't do anything about STI's except catch them. :-(Anal on a second date/first time having sex also seems pretty unlikely, albeit not impossible ;)Depends on their attitude to certain things; I am given to understand that certain regional cultures place such an emphasis on waiting for marriage (to have vaginal sex) that the younger set have taken to using anal sex as a "technically legal" substitute before marriage.

No idea what they do about STIs though.
insufferably smugBecause they're doing a booty dance? (In Dale's case it was a booty hover, but still)
In Dale's case, I was thinking of this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2642). As for Marigold, yeah, now that you say it, I can see that she might just be providing some vocal accompaniment to her booty dance. I initially read "I got some booty, I got some booty" as a singsong chant (same tone as nyeah nyeah-nyeah nyeah nyeah), but if I picture it sung in a different way, it stops sounding smug.insufferably smugBecause they're doing a booty dance? (In Dale's case it was a booty hover, but still)
I'd like to think Marigold was brushing her teeth when she heard the screaming and instinctively knew it was because Faye said, "Wicked."
Thought. This may have actually been Marten's first one night stand. As I recall he was with Ol'whatshername most of HS, then he moved out here and got dumped, wallowed, met Pintsize, met Steve and was pretty much solo till he ended up with Dora. Might have been some dates here and there but that doesn't mean he sealed the deal, and as we just saw, Marten is to being smooth like a sand blaster at full power is to gentle exfoliation...
Wikipedia knows no less than nine towns and/or cities named Frisco. Also a bridge and a railway depot.

I use wicked all the time... it's not a mainstay of my speech pattern but it's there. I have spent a grand total of two weeks in Maine outside of traveling/vacations, and the entire time I was in Maine I had 0 contact with the locals.

Didn't Steve Jobs use to describe things as "wicked fast" or "wicked cool" or something like that? I may have gotten it from him. I was a Mac owner for a long time back in the '90s.
Did every Mac come with a copy of Steve Jobs? It seems I missed out by going the PC route!They tried to sell a copy of Bill Gates with Windows PCs, but nobody liked this addition much.
There was Padma. But that does not invalidate your point.Padma and Marten was kind of not such a happy relationship. But just because it was short doesnt mean it really was a ONS - i.e. met one day, separated the next day again. Also, if memory serves, I think they had at least two times they got carnal with each other.

Question: Is it still that noticeable from one word where in the USA somebody hails from in the day and age of the Internet? I know some of us did a test which was linked on Neko's Facebook profile and was supposed to tell you where you are from based on the regional words you use. Mine showed up as mixed parts from New York, Honolulu and Frisco, I think.
It's a pretty crucial plot point, she got it when she tried to kill herself due to the trauma of her dad's suicide.

I dunno. I'm pretty sure I've heard "wicked" used as an adjective in my non-New England area, but it would more likely be "sick."Different usage. In some regions, "wicked" can be an adjective meaning "cool". But in New England it is used as an adverb meaning "very".
Though I've tried to fight it, I've slipped and used "y'all" a couple of times. Does that combined with my love of sweet tea makes me an official southerner?

2. "Wicked" is definitely a cue that you're speaking with a New England accent, just as "y'all" is a Southern thing.

You're probably less likely to use regional slang on the internet than you are when talking with local friends.I try to avoid using too many Australianisms. My spelling would preclude "sounding" like anyone from the USA on the internet, of course.

I do not blame Jeph for including American English regional slang in his comics, but it can be hard for us non-Americans to achieve understanding sometimes.

After completing the test, you might begin to understand the problem.

While I'm "spectacularly south east", many of my rels are not. Of course I've gone native since 1968, but even my son has traces of a SE UK accent though, picked up from me.
I also got "spectacularly south east", which I suppose is apt, but I'm about eighteen thousand kilometres more south-east than the quiz intended :PI would guess all non-Brits end up being "Spectacularly South-East", but in the wrong country :-D

Akima, when you say "Australianisms", are you referring to those nasal Eastern-State Australianisms? Or what people think we sound like - "shrimp on the barbie"et al ?Mate, I didn't have accents in mind so much as vocabulary, but if you're going to put the acid on me, I'd better come up with something and give you the full SP before you go burko! Australian English comes within a bull's roar of British English, but if we're fair dinkum about it, there are more oddities than you can shake a stick at. If you dress badly, you're a warb. A member of the "deserving poor" is a battler, but if you think they're lazy or otherwise undeserving, they become a bludger (bludge is a verb too, especially in the phrase "bludge on the dole"), pronounced "bluja". You barrack for your football or cricket team, and after the game you soothe your throat with a schooner of beer. And so on. There are some Australians who might claim they never use such expressions, but I suspect they are would-be members of the bunyip aristocracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunyip_aristocracy) who are just putting on the dog.

Funny story. My 3rd grade public school teacher was super Catholic; rumor had it she used to be a nun, but I don't know if that's really true. There are, of course, very few Catholics on the Cape; we're all descended from Puritans.

I would guess all non-Brits end up being "Spectacularly South-East", but in the wrong country :-DYup, me too. I suppose the South-East just speaks the most "vanilla", "standard" English.
We shake sticks at things in the UK too.Many, probably most, "Australianisms" originated in the UK, I think. Even so Australian expression as "fair dinkum" originated, I believe, in an English dialect. To describe a person/action as "not fair dinkum" is a fairly serious insult to, or criticism of, their/its honesty. Don't throw it in someones face here unless you intend to provoke a confrontation.

Nowadays "dinkum" used alone in Australia is just an abbreviation of "fair dinkum" and means "genuine", usually in the expression "Dinkum Aussie". Sadly, the sort of person who uses that expression generally would not apply it to Australians like me.Yes, that sort are not Fair Dinkum.

It's not a lie at all. He answered one of her questions and ignored the other. He did have fun at the time.
I tried that quiz and got "Spectacularly South-East", though I only got that result after randomly picking an option on question 4 because none of them were something that I would say as a greeting.

Not being honest with Tai might not be such a good idea. There's a good chance she's going to find out that Marten didn't find the one night stand appealing given how many of his friends he's already told.Or maybe Delilah noticed he was bummed out and spoke about it with her friends, so it might get to Tai from that side of the circle.
If you have to justify something with "Technically..".. You're in the wrong. Just a heads up.A good rule of thumb.
His answer is meant to, and successfully does, deceive her. Things like specifically answering part of her inquiry in a manner that'll be interpreted as directed at the whole would definitely be a technicality.
For instance if I were in a relationship where I suspected cheating and I asked "Is there another woman?" and he was cheating with a person of other genders than that, but answered "No there isn't" then that would be a lie. Because that's not the question actually being asked. Honesty doesn't really work like that.
If you have to justify something with "Technically..".. You're in the wrong.

One Word that Kills Your Credibility in Presentations (http://www.inc.com/eric-v-holtzclaw/1-word-that-kills-your-credibility.html)
Let me explain. When you use the word "actually" properly, you are comparing two thoughts and providing clarification.
There is a big difference. Marten lied about something that doesn't concern Tai anyway, and he did it in order to spare her feelings.
As in: "Technically, <this>; but actually, <that>."
JESUS CHRIST MARTENI think Marten is an OK dude, but calling him Jesus Christ ? Thats kind of going too far !
I got incredibly northern or something, but "northern" appeared to encompass the entire top half of the UK, including the Midlands where there is quite a distinctive dialect which bears no resemblance to, for instance, the Yorkshire or Newcastle dialects. It's oversimplified, basically.Plus, I have it on good authority that lots of planets have a north.
... this recent speech in the Senate has been recognised by all sides as typically Australian....I wouldn't call it 'typically australian', more so Senator Ludlam 'typically being a decent fucking human being'. Is there a section for Australian politics on this forum? I feel like this is a thing I need to get on if it exists.
Agreed. JC had compassion and no carnal desires, whereas Marten is all emo by now. He should grow longer hair, stop showering, and find some shabby clothes to complete the transformation.JESUS CHRIST MARTENI think Marten is an OK dude, but calling him Jesus Christ ? Thats kind of going too far !
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Well. By all accounts Jesus was a regular man. Abstaining is not the same as lacking. He also had a marketable trade skill (very successful carpenter under his "step father" Joeseph) which Marten could probably stand to gain. Not that music, library science and drinking coffee are unworthy.
His answer is meant to, and successfully does, deceive her. Things like specifically answering part of her inquiry in a manner that'll be interpreted as directed at the whole would definitely be a technicality.Which does not, by default, mean he is "in the wrong." Tai's a friend, but she is in no way owed this information about his personal life. He has a right to tell her whatever he wants; if he doesn't want to tell her the truth, that's perfectly fine. He's not doing the wrong thing by some objective measure in making that decision.
I hate Dogma.Why?
Tai is happier about Marten's random hookup than Marten is. :roll:
No siblings?It's not unequivocable that adelphios in this context necessary means full siblings and not half-siblings or cousins. This is an old, old, old debate.Quote from: Mark 6:3, King James BibleIs not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Which does not, by default, mean he is "in the wrong."
If fucking by proxy is a thing, then I have certainly fucked *counts* ...a lot of people.You're only proxy-fucking the people they've had sex with before you have sex with them. Tai and Dora getting together meant Tai fucked Marten by proxy, but not vice versa, at least until Delilah (and that's assuming Tai and Delilah do have a history of any kind). Not that this matters, mind you.
Some more thoughts: If you have sex with someone who has sex with a lot of people by proxy, and then you stop having sex with that person, are you still fucking all the other people by proxy? Even if you have no sex at all? Or are you... unfucking all the people?
I hate Dogma.

I assume you mean the film since you capitalised it; if you just meant dogma in general though, I probably concur: it's simply too easy to use it as an excuse to do or not do almost anything, up to and including genocide.

For what it's worth, I don't hate Kevin Smith's work in general, I just hate Dogma. I've mixed feelings on the majority of Smith's work.
I hate Kevin Smith, Star Wars and Arrested DevelopmentWell, ok then. I didn't like Chasing Amy, and it's been ages since I've seen Clerks, but everything else in the Askewniverse has been solid or better. (I'll never understand the Mallrats hate.)

I'm not sure that was necessary to restate. Your post was pretty clear cut on that particular score.

On-topic: Tai proffering a fist bump as congratulations for Marten's successful booty-getting (even if she doesn't know he's unhappy about it; dramatic irony!!!) is the cutest thing.

- Central actress doesn't act. She is a plank of wood. She is irritating.
- HI! I'M CHRIS ROCK! I'M HERE TO BURP UP HUGE PILES OF EXPOSITION BECAUSE THIS STORY IS STUPIDLY COMPLEX AND THE GUY WRITING IT ISN'T COMPETENT ENOUGH TO FILL IN THE GAPS!
- Seriously, a shit demon?
- The film deliberately seeks to offend basically everyone, which is just a dick move. I don't find it offensive or blasphemous - I find it irritating because it thinks it's both of those things, but worse yet, thinks that makes it clever.

What's funny is if you hate her voice you should love that movie.I hate Dogma.Why?
I assume you mean the film since you capitalised it; if you just meant dogma in general though, I probably concur: it's simply too easy to use it as an excuse to do or not do almost anything, up to and including genocide.
- Central actress doesn't act. She is a plank of wood. She is irritating.
- HI! I'M CHRIS ROCK! I'M HERE TO BURP UP HUGE PILES OF EXPOSITION BECAUSE THIS STORY IS STUPIDLY COMPLEX AND THE GUY WRITING IT ISN'T COMPETENT ENOUGH TO FILL IN THE GAPS!
- Seriously, a shit demon?
- The film deliberately seeks to offend basically everyone, which is just a dick move. I don't find it offensive or blasphemous - I find it irritating because it thinks it's both of those things, but worse yet, thinks that makes it clever.
You could've just said "Alanis Morrosette" and get to the point. How she managed to get a recording deal with that voice is beyond me.

If that's the case, they've now both fucked each other by proxy.
Is that a thing?No, not really.
Only for Kevin Bacon.If that's the case, they've now both fucked each other by proxy.

Yes, given my username, I AM aware of a certain irony to the above.

Hate her music all you like, but she's far from talentless and I don't know where the word 'tart' has come from.
Some forms of sex education in the US do actually try to claim that if you have sex with someone, it's like having sex with everyone they've had sex with, so on, so on, so on. (It's meant in an STD exposure sense, mind you.)If that's the case, they've now both fucked each other by proxy.Is that a thing?
It is very likely that it is a sweedism. The corresponding term in Finnish slang also uses "brothers-in-law" as part of the term (obviously only when referring to two males). Instead of a "hole", the first part euphemistically refers to a belly-button, but the intended meaning is the same. That is probably a Finnish variant of the sweedism (we copy a lot from them), as over here "below the belly-button" is a common euphemism referring to private parts.If that's the case, they've now both fucked each other by proxy.
Is that a thing?
It brings back a memory of a word that I have never heard, and seen in print only once. In a novel I read many years ago, one character asks another if they are now "hulsvogre".
"Svogre" is plural of "svoger" meaning brother-in-law. "Hul" means hole. A sweedism perhaps? The novel was translated from Swedish. Is that a thing?

It's group therapy. With a pint of stout. Which is what normal group therapy sorely needs.

Well yeah, that's fair. I don't think I've ever made an effort to listen to her, but I won't make an effort to not listen to her either. Does that make sense to anyone?

Would it be ironic if it didn't?
