What's more surprising: the cast (with Penelope) watching Goonies at 3 AM, or that Marigold had never SEEN Goonies?

Never saw Goonies! either.  It was a little after my time, I think.  I seem to recall it was aimed at a particular age group.  Maybe Goonies discussion should be moved to the Entertainment thread section? 

I'm more surprised that Penelope had never gotten drunk before...

That doesn't mean she's never gotten drunk in her whole life; we only know that she doesn't drink now.

I'm a bit curious as to why  she doesn't normally drink. Actually I'm interested to know a lot more about Penelope's background; all we really know is that she has Bible-thumping parents and has had relationship troubles in the past.

Theres a lot of reasons for someone not to drink, ranging from seeing what it did to someone to them, to just having no interest in it. Like, personally, I don't drink just because I grew up around it, my dad worked for a major distillery here for most of my life. That meant that I got to take a lot of tours of the distillery and the bottling plants, like really behind the scenes, through the labs, the actual stills and boilers, not the museum stuff at the front, so I got to see a lot of how its made (and on several occasions I showed the new guys around  :roll: ). So yeah, not a lot of mystery there for me anymore, not to mention that some of the processes, or at least the smells they produce, can really put you off.

She probably had it drilled into her from an early age that alcohol is from the devil and it will make you go to hell. I'm not sure when she turned away from that path, but she may have spent most of her formative years in bible study and never developed a taste for it.

Kinda funny story. There's an organisation here called the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, a teetotaler group, who could be described as slightly less uppity than prohibition groups. Anyway, they go around to schools and go to the classes, usually the 15 year olds and during the religion classes, and they ask the students to take a form and to read it, asking the students to abstain from alcohol until they're 18.

Well, they came to our class, told us about the Pledge, give us the forms and left. As soon as the door closed, the teacher turned towards us and just said "None of you are going to take that pledge, are you?"

All twenty nine of us just looked at him like he asked the most obvious question ever, and nearly deafened him with the "NO!"

Besides, I don't seem to remember either the Old or the New Testament come out and say, "Don't Drink", There are a lot of stories that many of us would start off with "I was soooo wasted last night that I...." in that book.

Penny's fun when she's loaded - hope she got home safe to Bartender Wil next day.

And it's only WWII to you late to the party Americans.  The rest of the West has been in it since last Thursday, and the Chinese have been there since the Thursday before that.

With red wine, the hangover may put her right back off the stuff.  That, and she seemed to be more frustrated at her lack of control (and spelling) than any fun she may have been having. 

Of course, none of this may ever make it into the comic, either, becoming a noodle incident for us here on the boards.

Pennelope's parents were probably from one of the anti-alcohol churches. You can find prohibitions and warnings in the Bible, but if you look at them with the ability to make distinctions, they are mostly aimed at drinking to excess.

Eh, I don't drink.  My parents drink, nobody in my family is super bible-y (most float between agnostic apathy and very generic liberal Christian apathy), and I'm an atheist.

Some people just don't.  For me it just never really held any appeal, in the same way that I never really got into watching sports when lots of other people do.

She could be similar; she could avoid it for health reasons; it could just be a chosen character quirk (haven't we all met somebody like this http://www.theonion.com/articles/area-man-constantly-mentioning-he-doesnt-own-a-tel,429/ ); she could be allergic; she could just find the taste of most drinks foul; and yes, it could be leftover religious stuff; she might know someone in her past that was badly alcoholic and overcompensated; she could just really hate being intoxicated and so avoid even a little.

A drink or two once in a while is fine, but I don't see the appeal of drinking until you're sick, or getting so loaded you have no memory of the party.

I think, what people were saying, was that a person who doesn't drink but has before, is much more common than someone who has NEVER drank. Seriously, I can't name a single person I know, even out of the people I know who don't drink, who have never drank (and are adults, I mean, I know 15 year olds who have never drank but that's different.)

And it's only WWII to you late to the party Americans.  The rest of the West has been in it since last Thursday, and the Chinese have been there since the Thursday before that.
I'm well aware of that, my friend.  But since this week was entirely within WWII, I thought I'd mention it.  Also:
A drink or two once in a while is fine, but I don't see the appeal of drinking until you're sick, or getting so loaded you have no memory of the party.
I've had about 15 drinks tonight, and I'll have full memory of tonight's party (which I hosted, and only had about 10 of my friends over), so no worries about driving home.  My point is there's a middle ground between one drink and black out drunk.  Sure, I still have a slight buzz on, but I never got crazy.

Modifier: Also, to Norton, I drank a couple times in high school/early college but I didn't really start drinking until I could buy my own, when I turned 21.  And I really didn't start enjoying it (also the taste of different beers) until I was 22 or so (I'm almost 24 now, btw).

Y'know, I intentionally didn't put up a MOTW poll because I KNEW that Raven would run away with it.

And the reason why some people don't drink is the same as why there are some people who don't eat ice cream or don't eat asparagus. They don't care for it.

I tend not to drink alcohol because (1) I'm perfectly capable of making bad decisions while entirely sober and (2) I don't much care for the taste of most of it.  Beer is uck, wine is sour (just give me the fresh grape juice, please)... I admit I've sampled a few nice whiskeys, but overall, I have the palate of a British teenager.  (That said, I could probably get in a lot of trouble with alcopops, had they been more common during my youth; these days, I have few RL social occasions to drink.)

Sadness and nostalgia are not the same as whiney and mopey, though; those are more to do with an unjustified feeling of being dumped on.

Aw, this one makes me a little sad.  I get nostalgic about some things, too, because when you're with someone for a while, they just become a part of your life, and you can't erase all of that right away.  I don't think that makes him whiny or mopey, just a regular person.  Or maybe I'm really whiny and mopey.  This is also a possibility.

And it's only WWII to you late to the party Americans.  The rest of the West has been in it since last Thursday, and the Chinese have been there since the Thursday before that.
Perhaps, with regard to China, you mean the Tuesday before (1937-1945 was the Second Sino-Japanese War or 抗日战争), or the Monday of the previous week (1931 was the year Japan invaded Manchuria and sporadic fighting continued until the commencement of full-scale war in 1937).

Is Padma that oblivious, or is she just dead-panning Marten?

Um, let's not discuss that further or I'll find myself deleting posts, which I'd rather not.

Awwwwww.

You spoil all our fun. :cry:

Help, can anyone explain to this Grumpy-Old-Man, Marten's shirt this week?

I recognize the old Nabisco's Oreo logo. But it has a different word in it.

What's up with that?

A quick google search says that it was some emo band from the early 90s (more fuel for the "Marten is an emo crybaby" fire, I guess).

Thanks.

And once again Padma proves her differently clued status!

Marten senses a great disturbance in The Force...


Either that or he loves the smell of fresh rosted coffee in the morning, smells like...

Victory?

Damn, I would have a really hard time if I had to pass tSB each morning, as my two favourite smells are fresh brewed coffee and freshly baked bread.

Oh, Padma! Your cluelessness is endearing! Poor Marten. Smell-associated memory recall is very inconvenient...

Do you suppose this week will be low-intensity, or are we going to get some major WII-level drama in? Or will nothing happen until next week, when J. Jacques may drop the Iron Curtain (QC-style) on us?

EDIT: Is it just me, or is Padma more bosomy in this strip than she normally is?

We're probably not going to see a party for a while. It's Monday in QC time and the party isn't until Friday.

At least he isn't like certain manga artists, where the bosoms are proportionate to the character's confidence level at a given point (thinking of the Hellsing manga, specifically, though there are others).

Oh yes, he is very consistent with this. That is, they consistently grow on all his characters....  :mrgreen:
