This has been hinted at by others, but I'm just gonna say it - Marigold is creepy in this comic. She may just want some loving, but if something like that ever happened to me, I'd feel violated! I am a huggy person by nature, but I don't want 'em if I'm asleep!

Marigold - don't be a creeper!

As much as I dislike "Shipping"... I'm going to admit that was pretty cute.

AnthroPC Poll results:

Momo-tan: if you have to have an advisor, you want her to be secretly sex-crazed just like you. 38 (38.4%)
A 'neckbeard' Linux model: stick it to the Man, man, er, bot! 5 (5.1%)
Winslow, so you can bask in his innocence, so long as you keep your hand off other bots' butts. 26 (26.3%)
Deathbot 9000. Okay, he's not an anthroPC, but he threatened...anyway, he's on the list. (Will someone please, please vote for him?) 15 (15.2%)
Pintsize: you can never have enough destruction or perversion. 15 (15.2%)

For those who selected him, Deathbot 9000 extends a "hearty congratulations" on your 'rarified tastes.' I will add "Othankyouohgodthankyouthankyou!"
Momo's 'win' hardly surprises me; on the other hand, I find it interesting that wholesale destruction accompanied by slaughter ran neck-and-neck with destruction accompanied by perversion.

And, since Border Reiver recommended WTF material, I present the Poetry Parody Poll. For those who might fret about such, a list of the actual titles and authors will be forthcoming with the results.

I'd wear a Mustache Rides shirt. It would be ironic because I'm a woman. Or something.

Faye's boobs look particularly spectacular in this comic.

OK, this is really, REALLY weird. I HAVE SEEN THIS SHIRT. Somewhere. Probably in a banner ad. If somebody else has seen it and can remember what it was for, that would be awesome because now it's driving me bananas.

Also, is it true that there are parts of the world where thrift stores have a record collection worth looking through? I do not live in such a part myself.

Jeph - good work on the plaid, getting the lines to follow the curves of the clothing is challenging. Will you be trying more complex tartans later? If so, save the Royal Stewart for a while.

Taigan · « **Reply #62 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 04:08 »

I do wonder how many Douche-Wraiths will be wanting Jeph to stock that shirt at the QC Store.

...one already, I see.

What raises the T-shirt to the pinnacle of douchebaggery: the use of Cooper Black.

Now that's attention to detail.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #64 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 04:51 »

And now Marten must take the shirt to the place where it was screened to destroy it.

But who will be Sam (because someone has to carry all the kit)?

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #65 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 05:21 »

Sven. It'd do him some good to get out of the house and have homoerotic adventures in a far-off sweat-shop.

Actually, scratch that; Marten can be Elrond, Sven can be the Frodo, Steve can be Sam, Marigold can be Arwen, Hannelore can play Eowyn, Dora and Faye can be Legolas and Gimli, and Sara was Boromir until the allosaur turned up.

Go to damn near any carnival or fair in a rural area, you'll see it (I'm in west-central PA, dairy country). Although the price is usually more nominal, like 5 cents (or free).

Oh yeah, and at the demolition derby, too.

What? What? I like watching the cars get rammed into the walls... besides, my cousin drives for one. You gotta root for family...

Naw, Sauron is Hannermom, clearly. Though why she'd make a shirt for herself that offers $5000 moustache rides is an open question...but then so is the one about the original Sauron and the One Ring. Seriously, storing your saved point in a wedding band?

raoullefere · « **Reply #70 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 09:40 »

T'wasn't storage: in conjunction with the other rings it was a kind of spirit trap, or suchlike. Which would be in keeping with Hanner's mom, to be sure.

One shudders to think what t-shirts are the Three, the Seven, and the Eight (at least one had to be screwed up in production and replaced by a "smiley face" shirt, because of course no one's going to notice).

Since when is Dora "leather pants buried in backyard" Bianci hung up about fur?

Watched Pot · « **Reply #72 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 11:55 »

"fur" animals are generally much cuter and more protect-able than fat smelly cows. Hypocritical or not, there are plenty of people in the world who wouldn't wear fox/mink/etc. but have no hesitation in draping flayed cow hide over their bodies.

(for the record, i am a leather wearing, cow-chewing barbarian myself)

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #73 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 12:34 »

Leather's a byproduct: the cows would be killed anyway even if everyone renounced leather. Fur animals are killed because of their fur.

Fur has social-class ramifications. Dora wasn't wearing leather to be a snob. Fur has connotations of "look at me, I live on Park Avenue".

None of which rules out Dora being ethically inconsistent.

Mr_Rose · « **Reply #74 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 14:54 »

It also fails to rule out "I don't want to get paint dumped on me by some fruitbat with a hate-on" option, which is also quite reasonable in a town where middle-aged women defend themselves from ranting strangers with phrases like "NPR totebag!"

The Duke · « **Reply #75 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 15:57 »

Also, leather is much easier to pull off as badass than fur.

So, does that shirt mean Dora will pay you five grand for a ride? Wait, no, Dora's bi, so that...

Y'know, I'm with Hanners. I think it would be simpler to go with Faye's definition. God only knows what Dr. Phil would look like on a Harley, though. And I hope it stays that way.

Bald taco?

I thought Dora wasn't a shaver - at least, not bald...

And I guess we know Faye isn't... I haven't heard "bearded clam" in a looooong time.

I like the way the t-shirt's neck is all stretched out from shot elastic. I have a few 20 year old shirts with the same problem...

My daughters used to wear them as nighties when they were small. Never had to explain what they said, thank god!

So, if a girl makes a joke about a bald taco (without ever saying *her* bald taco) I should assume that she waxes or shaves? The jokes do not necessarily correspond to their actual public hairstyles.

And now, I must go kill myself for discussing whether or not characters in a web comic shave their pubic hair.

I've never heard the term bald taco before. It just sounds kind of weird. Pink taco, I've heard, also fish taco.

Beef curtains sounds like the dumbest thing ever. I've never actually heard anyone use that one. I'd laugh at them if they did.

Someone educate me here: Does the moustache in moustache ride refer to the male or the female? I'm wondering how Dora wearing that shirt should be interpreted.
