This is the best, most accurate poll in history

Polls are just a construct of the liberal hive mind

In Soviet Northampton, polls take you!

Internet polls are unscientific anyway

Maybe next week someone else should do the poll

Polls have been wrong before, you know. Look at Brexit. Look at America. The media lies to us, WAKE UP SHEOPLE

ZOMG Emily!

In Lurve! 

[BenRG]

I think that it's worth noting that Emily is a more dangerous drunk than Faye is. Faye gets maudlin and drinks herself into collapse. Emily, in contrast, just loses what little self-preservation instinct she has and starts engaging in behaviour that's borderline self-destructive (at the very least she suddenly starts having quasi-self harming spurts).

I mean it: she needs to start going to the support group... with Faye... The latter because I think that "Jane Doe" and "Marylicious Chocolate Creamer-Party" (or whatever Emily comes up with as a pseudonym) would make for a laugh riot at a meeting of the group.

[thedevilissix]

Eh, I think it's probably a bit more equal between them.
I think they both have self-destructive reactions to booze, just operating at different speeds.

Probably it wouldn't hurt Emily to attend a session though, if only to raise her awareness before she gets hurt. I get the sense that Emily is just very childlike and doesn't take into account the potential of harm she could do to herself and others at the time (or its magnitude).
(Faye probably does have that awareness more, but when she was drinking used it as a mechanism to beat herself up more with more drinking.)

Emily is clearly one of those people who should never drink. At least, not unsupervised. And the person supervising needs to stay sober.

Butbutbutt ... where's the fun in that? 

[Kugai]

FORTH EMILINGAS!! And fear no Dodges!!!

[Masterpiece]

Kinda mad at Dora for being a hypocrite right now, but since Faye is in a better place, I'm not sorry for her. As always, Dora is as sensitive to the situation as a drunk Hulk.

This post was sent from inside my phone!

Well, Dora herself agrees. I rest my point.

Emily hasn't been shawn to have a drinking problem, though. This is only the second time we've seen her drink. It doesn't appear to me that her impulsiveness is all that more pronounced drunk than it is sober.

[Neko_Ali]

She apparently likes to cut her hair when she's drunk though. So it's probably a good thing if she doesn't drink regularly. She'd be bald in no time.

This variation on the lyris of a once popular song just floated through what some consider my mind....


Drinkin' burbon in the hot sun
I fought the car and the car won
I fought the car and the car won
I needed to joust 'cause I thought it would be fun
I fought the car and the car won
I fought the car and the car won

[Perfectly Reasonable]

So how did it happen?

Emily: "What a weird name! It can't possibly taste as bad as it sounds."
Dora:  "Yeah? Wanna see?"

And after that, there was no turning back...

[Cattus]

It's not Hanners that Dora has to apologise to, it's Faye.  In fact, to avoid Faye finding out about this thirdhand, Dora should do it as soon as she sobers up.  It could otherwise drive a wedge between them that is not going to be easy to remove.  And Yes, Emily needs to avoid booze forever.  she is truly a dangerous drunk.

[hedgie]

"It was on her to-do list even before she got drunk".  You forget, this is Emily.

[Tova]

To those of us who seem to have forgotten about Emily's compulsive (sober) behaviour.

I think they just covered the song, but nice Dead Kennedys reference.

[cesium133]

That song's way older than the Dead Kennedys. In fact, the real Kennedy was still alive when the song was written.

Looks like the original version was by the Crickets (post-Buddy Holly) in 1960, so yes, JFK and RFK were both still alive then. The first hit version was by the Bobby Fuller Four in 1966.

[wlewisiii]

I always think of the Clash version first for some reason...

[Storel]

Was it the first version you ever heard?

[wlewisiii]

Ah, no, just a subtle comment on my Joe Strummer derived avatar.

[Method of Madness]

Was it the first version you ever heard?

It probably was for me, it's the version I always default to as well.

[Truec]

Well, we clearly know where Emily will be when the time comes to make war against the filthy xenos.

[Morituri]

I know that Massachusetts' gun laws are pretty strict but what laws govern edged weapons?

It's actually kind of humorous.  Fine to own, but can't carry concealed.  So.  A boot knife, with your pants cuff covering the hilt?  Illegal. A sword cane, with the secret button that pops the wood off exposing the slender blade?  Illegal.  A bastard sword as shown?  A frickin' two-handed Claymore?  A Katana?  All perfectly fine.
