I thought bears are the number 1 threat to america! Threat down!

I would soooo start a Bearsball League, you know...

if not for the whole 'getting mauled and eaten' thing...

LeeC · « **Reply #52 on:** 16 Jun 2009, 10:26 »

awe it'll be fun! just wear a helmet and get some insurance. Would they have rodeo clowns in Bearsball to distract the bear so the medics and drag your body away?

I suspect this will first arise in Churchill, Manitoba with the polar bears and the buggies.

Right now I'm picturing a grizzly tossing a caber, while the polar bear plays "Cock o' the North" on the pipes.

I had no idea how popular this comic really was until now; it appears to have Slashdotted the Hijinks Ensue website (which has a none-too-small readership already).

You could get one of those LED belt buckles that you can program to print moving text. Would that work?

Sorry to nitpick, but people who dress up as klingons aren't furries, just cosplayers.

In other news, awesomely obscure reference, Kugai!

Jimor · « **Reply #70 on:** 17 Jun 2009, 21:37 »

OK, now I'm imagining a klingon in a tribble suit, and that is wrong in soooo many ways.

Hey Jeph, you forgot a speech bubble!

Aristera · « **Reply #75 on:** 17 Jun 2009, 22:04 »

I new something was missing but I just saw the text now. Missing the bubble so you can see it!

Shadic · « **Reply #76 on:** 17 Jun 2009, 22:04 »

At least he put the text there. But yeah, Marten's second part of dialogue has no bubble.

Aristera · « **Reply #77 on:** 17 Jun 2009, 22:08 »

I wonder is Jeph will notice or just crash for the night and wake up tomorrow to hundreds of messages and pages of forum threads informing him of his error.

That was rather odd, but you can read it if you look for it, so I'm happy enough.

Today's strip appears to be missing a frame

Jeff forgot to add another box around the text ... that is there, but you can hardly read it, plus you wont notice it right away as well.

And I can't see the text either, though I get the feeling Jeph will fix it when he gets around to it.

Being nearly decked by Coulter makes an intereseting image - I wonder if Gore would have come to Angus' defence?

Having been in the Marigold situation of not wanting to socialize because you just don't feel comfortable, but wanting to be social, and only feeling comfortable in a particular situation, I can empathize. Its a tough gig to get out of, and the only person who can get you out of it is you.

I'm just delighted that the fancy outfits come with pocket watches. Reminded me that I need a pocket watch too.

LeeC · « **Reply #91 on:** 18 Jun 2009, 04:37 »

today was a good comic. I can identify with Marigold, which is why I quit WoW. You need to get out of the house/dorm/appartment/room and interact with people. Its way more fun and enjoyable that sitting at a computer screen all night. But thats just one little bears opinion.

I love that Marten pulls out a pocket watch!

giant_bug · « **Reply #92 on:** 18 Jun 2009, 06:53 »

So Marigold plays a lot of WoW.

Gee, you know who else plays a lot of WoW....

snubnose · « **Reply #93 on:** 18 Jun 2009, 07:13 »

The strip never mentions WoW.

And I would guess someone who does things like "fixing servers" wont spent his time with something kiddie like WoW.

There ARE MMOs which have some challenge.

I think we all know what Marigold needs... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DaXJmo9cro

plus getting out and hanging out with everyone would be good for her. I think her and Sven could talk about MMOs

Um...yes it does. Sven plays WoW. Maybe twitter mentions it more (Sven has a lvl 62 mage and his mom is in his guild) but it's definitely been mentioned in the comic, too.

LeeC · « **Reply #97 on:** 18 Jun 2009, 10:51 »

I think snub means as far as Marigold. No she hasnt said wow, but most people who go to raids are playing WoW. Other games call it something different.

If she "optimizes servers" this lends credence to the theory that "RAID" refers to the hard disk thing (and that Angus is just mishearing/misquoting it)
