It's not an alliteration, it's an assonance. </pedantic>

I would argue that any sequence of words all beginning with vowels (even if not the same vowel) would qualify as alliteration - of the null consonant.

Especially since there are three vowel sounds involved here anyway:

>Much Hilarity?<<

 Likely-  Can see Hanners drunk one night while gang hanging out, sitting like a vulture watching social interplay between of the group. Steve is sitting next to Marten who's sitting next to Steve. And out of the blue Hanners asks if Marten's gonna kiss Steve for something nice Steve just did or something he did in past that was just retold/rehashed. Dora quips back, yeah why not Marten...turning and pushing Marten towards Steve. Steve catching on to the joke (or not, being three sheets to the wind secret agent who's probably played a gay man before) leans forward to kiss Marten. Good tension/good hilarity- especially if Pintsize and or Faye walk in at that moment--- leaves punchlines and unspoken comments in the thousands abounding to be writ yet...

That's one possibility...bet there are hundreds more Jeph can come up with and you guys too...

I really can't think of a better title then "Magical Love Gentleman." Part of me wants to believe it's real and find it for myself. Purely for educational purposes, of course. *shifty eyes*

[0kamisama]

That may or may not be a good thing. Oldhanners was awesome, but Newhanners is cute...

I'm torn

This could indicate a nice middle ground between the two Hanners; simultaneously cute and adorable, but underneath that exterior lies the heart of a true yaoi fangal...

[Goldy]

Just occurred to me...

The title of the manga is Magical Love Gentleman.



Now how does that apply to yaoi?

[Malek]

Hanners = Cute


Hanners + Porn = ???

[Border Reiver]

OK folks - do I repeat the polls idea for next week? 

see the new poll above.

[Steve the Pocket]

On normal manga (and most of the abnormal manga), we would see the front cover on the left (relative to the viewer, not the reader's left) and the back cover on the right. With Magical Love Gentlemen, however, we can see that the front cover is on the right. There are four possible reasons for this.

1. Jeph made an oops. He is only human and so is entitled to make mistakes now and again.
2. The translating company flipped the artwork to suit the western audience. Or they just flipped the cover for some reason.
3. Magical Love Gentlemen is a western manga done with a japanese art style, but formated in the western way.
4. The covers are a rare printing error.

5. Jeph is trying to compensate for the sheer number of comic panels in the world where someone's reading a book, facing partly to the right, and the title is written on what should be the back cover so it can be seen in the panel.  (Seriously, other cartoonists, just change the angle of the shot; it's not that hard.)

[JD]

6. He wants to mess with his hopelessly picky fans.

[bicostp]

What, is nitpicking the art the new character shipping?

[ysth]

No, there's always been a strong nitpicking tradition.

[bicostp]

But since shipping has become a bannable offense, something is bound to fill in the void.

close enoug?

[Border Reiver]

Of the twelve of you who voted - the majority voted yes, and three of you said over my dead and rotting corpse.  Thanks for the vote of confidence, however my desire to do the poll was overtaken by my desire to sit around the house, and sip wine with my wife. 

Sorry, a man has to have priorities.

[Penquin47]

Just realized something about Marigold.

When we first met Momo-tan, Pintsize mentioned that her owner "just moved in".

Her room has boxes of Pocky that are 10 years old.

She MOVED her vintage Pocky.

There's something more than laziness going on with her.

[akronnick]

The ten year estimate for the age of the pocky may have been a bit of hyperbole.

Then again, Hannelore may have counted the rings in the fungus that was growing on the pocky, you know, just for the hell of it.

[bicostp]

Yep. My guess is compulsive hoarding.

I have a hoarder friend who has moved 3 times over the last several years, and has boxes of mixed junk from the first move that haven't been opened since the day they were "packed". What's in them? It's a mystery! But they just can't go through them and get rid of anything because they can't bear to part with their junk.

Thanks for the alliteration.

It's not an alliteration, it's an assonance. </pedantic>

"Alliteration may also include the use of different consonants with similar properties (labials, dentals, etc.) or even the unwritten glottal stop that precedes virtually every word-initial vowel in the English language, as in the phrase "Apt alliteration's artful aid" (despite the unique pronunciation of the "a" in each word).
</pedantic too, sorry>

[bhtooefr]

My solution to the problem of moving junk... my car is a Mazda Miata (MX-5 for those in Europe.) For those unaware, this is a 2-seater convertible with a small trunk.

I may have to do a cross country move on VERY short notice. In the Miata.

There's no room to move junk in a Miata.

[akronnick]

How much do you like your stuff?

One option would be to rent a U-haul truck and drag the miata behind on a trailer, which also can be rented.

Another option, UPS the stuff that wont fit in the miata, and sell the stuff that's too big to ship.

Third option, sell the miata, buy a bigger vehicle.

[bicostp]

The flatbed trailers are better, so you don't put an unnecessary 3000+ highway miles' worth of wear on the Miata.

Or you could get the biggest U-Haul you can get your hands on and carry the Miata inside along with the rest of your stuff.

one of my friends owns an old U-Haul... He uses it as a party room and managed to score some awesome police reports... imagine a U-haul going at 120 Km/h with a drunk driver, 20-30 drunk and high teenagers in the back, a modified sound system that probably violates a few weapons treaties, and no one has a licence... and he's flirting with the female cop

[Kugai]

A Nissan Town Ace Diesel with the rear seats removed and a Car Trailer was all I used,

[bhtooefr]

The problem is, I looked at U-Haul, and it'd be $1800 not including tax just in rental fees.

I'm going to just sell the stuff that I can't fit in or on the car. Less fragile stuff will go on the car. And, I'll even sell the passenger seat of the car to make more room.

[bicostp]

$1800? Wow. You might be able to outright buy one of their old trucks for less than that.

What about those services like PODS where they basically give you a painted-up mini shipping crate to fill with stuff? I personally don't know the pricing, but it can't hurt to look.

You know me? We're friends?

Seriously, I've lived in my current apartment for 2 years now and I've still got a few of boxes that I haven't opened. That's not even taking in to account the 4 or 5 boxes I have in storage that haven't been opened from the time before last, which was some 5 years ago. The Man helps try to keep my hoarding down to a minimum, but there's only so much he can do.

Now he says we have to empty out our storage. He bought me a huge bookshelf for the 4 big boxes of books I've got in there, but I still have no idea where I'm supposed to put my collection of Playboys so that the kids don't accidentally find them. They'll probably end up in a lock box.
