Great… An AntroPC that looks (and might think) too much like the series that Pintsize belongs to combined with the tenacity and homicidal urges of The Luggage. The QC 'verse is doomed.

jwhouk · « **Reply #203 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 02:29 »

Hmmmm... How many of you noticed right away that this was obviously something built by Chatham-Ellicott Enterprises?

techkid · « **Reply #204 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 03:04 »

That face... that I could imagine being a colonoscopy or prostate exam face.

Unlike the Luggage, though, I think the destruction of the lab(s) will not let it live long enough to actually have an owner. Especially if the desire to overclock themselves is that... intense.

Creepiest AnthroPC related strip since THUMBLORD

Disagree, creepiest AnthroPC strip EVER! that creepy smile (shudder). Thumblord! was frakkkin' hilarious.

The way I understand it, poor thing is so miserable it wants to self-immolate. Is that correct?

You want wooden computers, then Jeffrey Stephenson is your man.

'Flightline' in particular is just exquisite.

'Level Eleven' is pretty awesome, too.

Hannelore's Thanksgiving tweet said she was grateful for her parents.

???

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #215 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 11:49 »

What's so confusing about that? Hanners might be a bit confrontational with her mother at times, but I don't she's ever implied she doesn't love them.

DSL · « **Reply #216 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 12:20 »

Marten's expression is definitely "WTF?" but I'm still trying to decide if Pintsize's reflects horror or desire.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #217 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 12:28 »

It goes beyond "a bit confrontational" when you try to disembowel yourself when you find out your mother is coming to visit. Strip 910. Her father was neglectful.

DSL · « **Reply #218 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 12:31 »

People and attitudes can change. Hannelore's more than some.

Good point! She did manage a sort of reconciliation with her mother at the end of that arc.

However when her mother did arrive, they managed to bond a little. When Beatrice told Hannelore she loves her, Hanners seemed to say it back with relative ease (despite peeing).

Hanners also seems to like her dad, she seems aware between his work and the state of her OCD during her childhood, a close relationship was always unlikely. She definitely doesn't come across as resentful about it anyway.

Can they move in that thing? Or is it a "And I Must Scream" scenario?

Do you 'arbor some resin-tment over it? Or is it just because I'm such a sap?
... Okay, I think I'm done now.

So you might say you're... cedaring the battle of puns?

DSL · « **Reply #226 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 19:12 »

Or perhaps it goes against your grain?

I might post one but then everyone would ask me to leaf.

LookingIn · « **Reply #228 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 21:46 »

I was hoping I could sprout one but I am still pining for the right one

Asterus · « **Reply #229 on:** 29 Nov 2013, 22:18 »

I've had my Chloro-phyll of these jokes. I'm just going to lumber off to bed

A wooden computer should be good at logarithms.

Anything named Woodrow reminds me of the 28th President of the USA...

It can also be speeded up by branch prediction. Enterprise deployments are facilitated by the accompanying Plant Manager® software.

Root access is restricted, though.

OK, I'm done. Oak you have a good night everyone.

This thread is entertaining.

Think I'll get some chips and balsa to enjoy while reading it.

Okay, I have seen plenty of wood cabinets for PC's on the interwebs, after a cursory search.

But seriously - a wooden APC would have to live in a sterile environment and have regular dust filter removal to be viable outside someplace like HannerDad's space station.

It's not like I'm knocking wood, of course...

We may have been better off before all these puns, in the Precambium Era.

Akima · « **Reply #239 on:** 30 Nov 2013, 13:09 »

And the puns continue to phloem. We should have passed over them in xylemce...

Sooner or later the forest of tree puns will be clear cut.

So you're going to apply defoliant then?

I'd opine that it wouldn't be a fruitful way to deal with it.

pwhodges · « **Reply #247 on:** 30 Nov 2013, 16:15 »

Purely as a matter of interest, as the term was common in my childhood but seems to have fallen out of use - did anyone pick up on "deal"?

ZoeB · « **Reply #248 on:** 30 Nov 2013, 23:47 »

Uses the GLADE API I see.

"Root" was used already. Frankly, I was just waiting for some mod to tell us all to put a cork in it.
