She doesn't date men named Mark

She is holding out for Bob

She knows musicians only lead to heartbreak

She sees no overlap between one night stands and relationships

Marten didn't bring his A game

Alluring aluminum aliurophile

[Kugai]

That's what I was asking. Apparently he did not.

Actually I DID mean Guinness.  Even I occasionally have spelling brain farts.

Yellow Beer?  Jimbo must be a Lager man.  Give that man a Steinlager!

[DSL]

Dad's or Barq's, sometimes Stewart's. A&W and Frostie when I was younger.


... what?

Those aren't yellow. They are good, though.

[Zwammy]

"I know beer comes in colors, an' I know I like yellow ones." Hahaha, classic Jimbo! Cuts right to the heart of the matter without wasting any time. As long as Will doesn't come across as too condescending, Jimbo's going to be fine.

Jimbo beer.

... what?

Good man.
I favor Barq's or A&W for regular drinking, myself; I tried Dad's again recently, and the licorice was a bit strong.  Stewart's is all right.  Lately I've been developing a taste for Bulldog and local brewery Steelhead; Weinhardt's used to be semi-local (same state, at least), but they got bought out and moved to TX and pretty thoroughly commercialized.  Still a step up from the stuff that comes in cans, but only one step.

Heh, now I'm reminded of one of the "better" cheap beers here. 5,0 Original. That's basically not even a name, they just tell you that it's 5.0% alcohol.

I don't have any experience with fancy beers. The only fancy beers I've ever seen here are from Braufactum.  Normally I just fo for Flensburger Pilsener or Flensburger Dunkel. Nice and refreshingly bitter.

[Tova]

Steve has a definite tendancy to switch into obnoxious mode at the drop of a hat. If his goal in life was to make his friends as uncomfortable as possible, he wouldn't behave much differently.

I think you're underestimating him.

To be a bit more serious, his behaviour is a long long way from the most obnoxious I have encountered.

[animalman]

according to this thread Jimbo is a worldly traveler who is also a successful writer?

is this comic supposed to imply that he has recently suffered some form of brain damage

[hedgie]

There is and there is. It varies by nation and region of course, and it also depends on how you define "well", the shittest thing behind the bar? Well some bars actually serve Pabst or Natty to actual people!

Depending on the bar, that could range from paint-thinner to something drinkable.  Living in a university town, I'm surprised at the number of trust fund kids coming in and drinking cheap PBR at places with over 40 beers and an entire (long) shelf of single-malt.  I assume it's just because they're aiming at maximal intoxication for minimal outlay.

I know it's shocking but they do it! Ditto Corona, I don't know what the fuck is in the water in Mexico that gets into people's brains and makes them think that bottled cat piss is anything but actual...

It's well-marketed.  The times I have seen anyone who is actually *from* Mexico drink that stuff are countable with my shoes on.

Asahi! A Japanese Dry Lager that is both yellow and delicious.

It's not bad, and I do get it sometimes, but I'll stick with ales, meself.

[jwhouk]

Despite my pedigree, I am staying out of this discussion due to my lack of enjoyment of beer.

However, I would like to point out I live in the Beer Capital of the United States.

[techkid]

Hailing from the horse piss nation of Australia (hell, our national beverage might as well be beer), I know how it feels, jwhouk.

I do enjoy a good scotch, though.

Welcome, new person, and you can get an idea of Jimbo's writing career from the quotes on the wiki (http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Jimbo).

[pwhodges]

according to this thread Jimbo is a worldly traveler who is also a successful writer?

Don't remember the travel bit - but yes, he's successful by virtue of being a spectacularly bad writer.  But that needn't correlate so much with other aspects of his life anyway.

[Is it cold in here?]

Jimbo has been to a literary convention in Canada but I believe that's the only travel we know about.

[KOK]

I dont really get todays comic. 

"Checking baggage" might refer to rearranging your junk to a more comfortable position.
"Locating your passport" might refer to look for an ID so you can get served at the bar. Although Angus does not look underage.
"Ticket punched": Cocaine?
Just some idle speculation, with help from the Urban Dictionary. There might be other interpretations. But Steve is definitely a douchebag.

When correctly viewed, anything is lewd.

[Method of Madness]

You're quiet the poet.

[KOK]

Tom Lehrer is.

[Method of Madness]

Just noticed I said "quiet" instead of "quite". Oh well.

Sheesh.  I didn't recognize it until MoM pointed out the rhyme.

High time to waste another evening?

[Thrillho]

Why is Steve a douchebag?

[Is it cold in here?]

He doesn't seem to have had a good male role model when he was growing up, and his alcohol problem may not have helped his personality.

[Method of Madness]

I could be wrong, but I think Gareth might be asking why he's being called one. That does seem harsh for a silly joke.

[Pilchard123]

Why the doges, Method?

[Schmorgluck]

Heh, I randomly found in the archives that Jimbo is not the first to ask for "a yellow one".

[Method of Madness]

Why the doges, Method?

(shrugs) Why not?

[aliensporebomb]

Travel plans, eh? I guess he might have gotten that part after all, then...

I was going to say.  Next few weeks ought to be interesting.

[Is it cold in here?]

Well he is interrupting someone else's important conversation to which he was not invited with juvenile humor.

[techkid]

When you brought that up, I also noticed his title as "Globe Moderator" (NSA? GCHQ?).

Just remember, MoM is watching you!

[Method of Madness]

I also noticed his title as "Globe Moderator"

SO GLAD SOMEONE NOTICED THAT

[Detachable Felix]

There is no Moderator. There is no Comic. There Is Only MoM. 

[Akima]

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justice is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms.
Your electronic arms.
In your arms.

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms.
Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.

With apologies to Laurie Anderson.

I also notice that Linds is a "Global Mod".  Congratulations to all on their new positions!

[pwhodges]

Linds and MoM each asked me to change their "star" icons; as those go with the category of membership, I had to create new membership groups for each of them - hence the slightly different names; the new groups control their icons, but they are still members of the Global Moderator group.  MoM suggested his group name; I considered calling the group for Linds "Grumpy Moderator", but thought that was not actually true, so didn't!

[Barmymoo]

I don't get a new position. I'll be over here, being the grumpiest mod.

[Method of Madness]

You didn't ask for one!

[pwhodges]

Can't have May upset, now can we?
