Another week in the books!

[Pilchard123]

I'm going for Faye and Angus covered in weed, but knowing exactly how it happened.

[FunkyTuba]

woo hoo another week!

[de_la_Nae]

I don't think we're going to get a *week* of YELLING BIRD, but I do think we're going to get one this week.

[DSL]

I voted for the algae. Faye and Angus are due for a little indignity. Also, Marten not being able to remember what he was going to say about Faye in the be-nice game, driving the Peach nuts.

[Carl-E]

I voted for Emily not remembering (and better yet, freaking out over) her hair. 

After all, it's the source of her superpowers...

[Bluesummers]

I think there will be a $20 transaction happening sometime, but it won't be the plot focus.

[TheEvilDog]

Still waiting for the psycho serial killer to come out of the woodwork and hunt everyone one by one, leaving Hanners as the Final Girl. (She could never be the killer, it'd be far too messy)

[cesariojpn]

Emily brings in a Muskrat in a drunken sleep walking type of deal.

[Is it cold in here?]

Party! I'm sure Tai would make the most of that...

 I don't know....

[Carl-E]

Fortunately, the really graphic one was a fantasy and never acted upon...

Probably because it's too messy! 

[Caspian Sea Monster]

CALLED IT!

Alcohol + Scissors == bad times.

[DSL]

Hung-over, short-haired Emily looks older. Even with that rabbit-ears cowlick.

One might say, drawn.

[Daphnaie]

Hmm, hungover Emily seems far saner than regular Emily (at least until the final panel). I think it's mainly the very slightly different way Jeph drew her.

EDIT: I agree with DSL, she does look older.

Are you a wizard?   

[Near Lurker]

Ah, Emily's channelling Faye I see.

(And hopefully not Jeph...)

[techkid]

That's the one I voted for...

Faye looks surprisingly alert for someone needing support in the search for primo makeout real estate last night (QC time)...

Unless it's a case of "hair of the dog".

[riccostar]

what a call on the poll...

I'm mildly disappointed Faye doesn't seem to have fallen into the lake.

[cesariojpn]

Aww, was expecting a better nod to the Ero-Ero Talk.

[Carl-E]

Faye looks surprisingly alert for someone needing support in the search for primo makeout real estate last night (QC time)...

Unless it was more a matter of who she was leaning on.  Sometimes you lean because you want to, not because you need to...

No, but I play one in the forum.

I'm not sure what you won there, but you won it pretty hard.

Yes, Emily looks less Luna Lovegood-ish. Could be just an art change with no Deep Meaning, but it's fun to speculate that the strangeness is a defense mechanism that get dropped when she's off guard.

"A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of one part champagne (or other sparkling wine) and one part thoroughly chilled citrus fruit juice, usually orange juice unless otherwise specified (e.g., "grapefruit [juice] mimosa"). It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch as hair of the dog or to guests at weddings."

I had never heard of a Mimosa, except in a botanical sense, but Wikipedia to the rescue! You have all donated, yes?

[Doc]

To what episode of Azumanga Daioh is the reference? And, which panel contains the reference?

I know the anime but I don't recognize a specific scene from it.

[pwhodges]

Emily's pose in the first panel is Nyamo's (Kurosawa-sensei's) from p324 of the omnibus edition of the manga (the last page of volume 2 of the four-volume version, I think), when she has a hangover after drinking all the sake to prevent Yukari from getting drunk.  You see it roughly at 2:15 in this clip (referenced earlier), but the manga is the true source.  The comic title is Japanese for I have a headache or hangover ("my head hurts").

[pwhodges]

I don't know Japanese; but the only source I can find for that meaning is About.com.  All others give the meanings I gave, e.g. here, here, here.

Oops - the message this is a reply to has gone again!

[slydon]

Sorry about that. I read it as "atama ga itai" (head mine hurts)
I think Jeph is right on the money.
So much AD (and Nichijou) love in this strip

[Method of Madness]

I wonder if they'll be at the lake house all week.

[henri bemis]

I think Emily's hair is super cute.  My vodka+scissors shenanigans never turn out that even.

[Sorflakne]

Yep, I called it on Emily freaking out.  Even if it was just for a few seconds.

[Border Reiver]

We're never going to get an explanation for the hockey mask are we?

Always a good way to start the day, with a nice bit of OJ - I can take or leave the wine part of the mimosa.

Dang you're fast! yeah, I was about to give the original source as I remembered this panel quite clearly. What was even funnier was Chiyo and the girls getting lectured on the birds and the bees the night before from a drunken Nyamo and the looks on their faces after. Priceless. 

[Bluesummers]

Pfft, Mimosas are good for you! They have to be, right? I mean...they've got orange juice!

[Carl-E]

CALLED IT!

Alcohol + Scissors == bad times.

Sorry?  Voting for that option doesn't count as "calling it". 

I voted for Emily not remembering (and better yet, freaking out over) her hair. 

THAT'S "calling it". 


 

[Caspian Sea Monster]

But... but... what about calling it verbally to myself a few days ago?   

[Carl-E]

Ever paly 8-ball? 

[Visible_One]

Aw, poor Emily! Hopefully she will come to enjoy her new look, if only to make growing it out less painful.

[Caspian Sea Monster]

Ever paly 8-ball? 

Nope, only 9-ball.  And only if by 'play' you mean 'be used as a punching bag by my 9-ball tournament competitor friend'.

[Carl-E]

OK, well in 8-ball any call of a ball-pocket combo must be heard by the opponent.  Calls are optional except for the 8-ball.  If a call is missed, it's a scratch. 

...and I don't even know if you do calls in 9-ball. 

[Caspian Sea Monster]

I know what you're talking about with 8-ball, yeah.  And I figured that was your meaning.  And honestly I don't remember because it's been about a year since the last time I played 9-ball, but I want to say you do.

[percivaltercy]

Ok, so Emily doesn't remember about the hair...
But we still got some hope that the 20$ transaction will be reflected too... Right?
Marten being asked 100x about Claire is kinda obvious... Ain't it?

[pwhodges]

What was even funnier was Chiyo and the girls getting lectured on the birds and the bees the night before from a drunken Nyamo and the looks on their faces after. Priceless. 

Five textless beat panels showing their increasing embarrassment - superb cartooning.

[sitnspin]

This is my relationship with booze in a nutshell.

[Mr. Doctor]

Yup, even after a crazy night... The hair still looks better short imo.

[TheEvilDog]

This is my relationship with booze in a nutshell.

Funnily enough my relationship with alcohol means no confusion or hangovers......just sleepless nights instead.

[PintsizeForPresident]

...and I don't even know if you do calls in 9-ball.

It's been a while since I played (as punchbag for my brother, who plays competition pool), but IIRC you do not do calls in 9-ball. As long as some ball (not the cue ball, obviously) is potted somewhere, you may continue. I don't think the 9-ball must be called either.

And about the comic: It seems I am in a minority here, but I liked Emily better with long hair. And is it just me, or is her hair even shorter today than when she cut it off?

[Mad Cat]

Funnily enough my relationship with alcohol means no confusion or hangovers......just sleepless nights instead.

When I imbibe to excess (for me), I always sleep exceedingly well.

[bhtooefr]

I don't imbibe to excess, but I generally find that when I imbibe moderately, I stay awake longer, but then sleep better and longer.

I'm more familiar with the one part vodka mixture.

[bhtooefr]

I've only heard of the champagne sense.
