I think Station's holo-avatar is what Marten would look like if he took better care of himself (except for being transparent and blue).

"transparent and blue"?  Marten?

... did the entire board just shrug it off as "nah, too easy"?

[Milesb]

I know I did.

[Kugai]

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendahip

I felt a great disturbance in the farce ...

[TinPenguin]

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendahip

Or at least, a modestly attractive friendship.

[Border Reiver]

So long as its not a "How much did I drink and where did the badger come from?" sort of relationship.

Yes?

[Method of Madness]

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!

(J-dubs, why do you have a badger as your avatar, is there a story behind that?)

[Milesb]

Thank you for reminding me about Badgerbadgerbadgerbadger, it's almost a decade old nowadays. That make you feel a little old?

[jwhouk]

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!

(J-dubs, why do you have a badger as your avatar, is there a story behind that?)

Very simple. If you have to guess, I can tell you that I used to live in the 262 area code.

[westrim]

This is now a conversation about user profile images.

Mine is of hoodoos in a certain canyon important to me.

[jwhouk]

The Badger that started this thread says it's still about QC when the strip updates, so there

[westrim]

No no, not the entire thread, just this side conversation until the next strip is posted.   

[celticgeek]

An breacán de Clan MacLeod.

[Omega Entity]

One of my doodles of my RP characters. It dawns on me that she needs a darker background...

[jwhouk]

My question from this morning remains - what is so bad about a wooden desk in space?

[Is it cold in here?]

Don't know, but at a guess it's not futuristic enough.

[akronnick]

Splinters.

Bad news in zero-g

[Method of Madness]

I guess you went to UW?  Also, what if the desk is made of...mahogany?

[jwhouk]

I live in Wisconsin.

[jwhouk]

I suspect our fearless leader won't be putting together a comic in an expedient manner.

[Kugai]

Unless the Moose and the Beaver interrupt him, yes.

[Omega Entity]

Aaaand we have filler. Adorable filler.

[Kugai]

There must be something metaphorical about Hanners Squirrel.

 

[Omega Entity]

Squirrel? That looks like a little elephant to me.

[Sidhekin]

It's a tapir.

Surely you haven't forgotten?

[Omega Entity]

*headdesk*

I am an idiot.

[Deadlywonky]

is the first appearance of bonercat in the regular QC universe?

[westrim]

Everything is automatically better/less bad with holo as a prefix - holoday, holohoop, hologoodbye, holopoint, holospice, holocaust... okay, maybe not.


An internet to the person who can translate all of that and name the one that is a reference, not a pun. Holocaust doesn't count.

I guess you went to UW?  Also, what if the desk is made of...mahogany?

I live in Wisconsin.

Merrill, according to your profile page. I feel an urge to catch 'em all again.

Powers.  Melody Powers

No relation to Austin, I hope?

As for a wooden desk, it is an inefficient use of thrust to lift such a thing into orbit, suggesting (again) that their cost per pound must be very low in QCverse. Ours is what, 1000$ for every pound of cargo/spaceship?

[Sidhekin]

I don't know.  "caust" is pretty bad.

So bad the dictionaries don't even carry it.

[J]

A wooden desk on a space station? ... just no.

this gentleman may disagree with you

[Border Reiver]

What is the cat getting ready to do to that Tapir?

[Throg]

well hello there

aren't you a pretty young thing

[Jabberwocky]

Is anyone else fighting an urge to shout "Expecto Patronum"?

well hello there

aren't you a pretty young thing

...and the avatar for the win.   

[DSL]

Is it a wooden desk, though, or simply painted brown?

LATER: And even if it is, did ya SEE that spaceplane? Hannerdad's able to send a luxury spaceplane that's obviously able to loft at least a dozen, maybe more, people in comfort -- to loft three twentysomethings, two of whom are demonstrably underweight even by in-universe standards, on a week's notice for a birthday party. ECTech can loft a student-sized wooden desk with no problem.

C'mon folks. If the space station, space cafeteria, space cake, AIs with killer brokerage accounts but not always pants, and little robots running around weren't convincing enough -- things are possible in QCVerse that aren't realistic in the present state of our MeatVerse.

Also, HoloTapir? Station, you're a right bastard, you are.

[Carl-E]

Marten has a holokitty.  





I am sorry for nothing.  


Edit:  Sticky keys...

[DSL]

Looks to me like HoloPony and HoloBonercat are getting ready to Deal With the HoloTapir.

Hanners chose her friends well.

[lepetitfromage]

I got most of this...

holiday, hula hoop, hello goodbye, hollow point....and I had no idea what 'holospice' could have been, so i cheated and googled it. The reference is not as fun as I had hoped. I had my fingers crossed for the Beatles song.   

Also, Carl-E- that's awesome. haha. And I totally imagined you saying the last line as if you had a stuffy nose.

[Throg]

Marten has a holokitty. 





I am sorry for nothig. 

:delayed reaction spittake:

Well played sir. 

[jwhouk]

I'm pretty sure that's an elephant, not a tapir.



(grumbles something about new board layout under his breath)

[Soulsynger]

A wooden desk on a space station? ... just no.

And for my last question of the morning - why?

There is no reason to have or practical method to get it up there... it threw me off. Almost outa the chair. °O

this gentleman may disagree with you

I see what you did there. Its all fiction and speculation anyway and there might as well be a ferris wheel made of goats up there. But still. Seeing as teleportation hasn't been invented in the QCVerse yet, a huge difference in level of technological advancement between your argument and my object (or scenario) of argumentation is apparent.
And thusly: Wooden desk in space? Not bloody likely. Even in the QCVerse.


edit:
Oh, and about my avatar: I have very unstable moods from time to time. When I found this beauty of an animation by chance one day, it was love at first sight, then bafflement, then amusement, then love again, then a strange sense of doom, then confusion, finally acceptance, joy, hate and love again. ... Never found out who made it, though. ~~

[Madmartigan]

Marten looks cranky about his hello kitty holo-cat.  Then again, there have been more than a few cranky Marten expressions in space. Mmmm.

I think they need the holo-pony.  Merigold loves it.

[westrim]

This is where Holopoints and Captain Picard come in handy.

Holiday, hula hoop, hello goodbye, hollow point....and I had no idea what 'holospice' could have been, so I cheated and googled it. The reference is not as fun as I had hoped. I had my fingers crossed for the Beatles song.

I think it's far more fun than a Beatles song, but then I like economics.

[Omega Entity]

Merigold loves it.

Who be this 'Merigold' you speak of?

[Carl-E]

Oh, like you've  never done an a/e swap typo...


Now, excuse me while I chack my email. 

[Madmartigan]

Merigold loves it.

Who be this 'Merigold' you speak of?

Her evil twin I suppose.  She got switched out and clone when she went to see the head of security. 

[Omega Entity]

Oh, like you've  never done an a/e swap typo...


Now, excuse me while I chack my email. 

Oh, I've done my fair share. Hell, one of my posts here was littered with 'Martin's. I realized with some degree of horror right after I posted, then edited like mad hoping no one noticed
