Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I think some of you are attributing things to the term introvert which aren't necessarily part of it.
Though yeah shy in regard to dating doesn't have to mean introvert.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
When provoking someone like that there are two possible targets. Covering merely one s seen by me as tacit approval of the other's destruction.

If I do something wrong PM me what is wrong. And do not be subtle, I need a kick in the pants sometimes to realize Im a jerk.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I think this is most plausible... nothing wrong with being prepared. And considering there was to be a date...
Yeah, and Faye never really caused persistent damage, except maybe to Pintsize. It's not suicidal but at worst masochistic.
I'm not sure how surprised I should be about the item Marten found in Pintsize' prop box... I WOULD be surprised if something like that came with all AndroPC but in his case... (Also: Was I the only one expecting a poor joke from Marten's side when Faye offered to do "anything I can do to cheer you up?" )

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Whether Dale is an introvert is a thing up for debate, but even then two introverts dating is not a bad thing in itself. People become better at expressing their emotions when they're comfortable, and though for introverts those situations may be more limited, that can easily happen around other introverts.
Is it a bad plan because they will rip inside the wallet, or because people might easily spot them when you open it? Haven't had a bad experience with regards to the former case yet.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Does anyone else feel like Angus is being excessively judgmental in today's (2651) strip?
Namely, the sentiment that satisfaction is supposed to be the only possible outcome of a one-night stand for a mentally healthy adult?

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Well, if he's telling the literal truth there, and Marten is the only guy he knows who'd react that way, he's just making an observation, y'know?
And even if he's being a bit hyperbolic, I read this as a valid comment on Marten. Basically, Marten is a glass-half-empty-and-I-bet-someone-spat-in-it sort of guy. He's someone who can make Marigold look like a source of outgoing cheerfulness and light, though admittedly that's not too hard right now...

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
As someone who's always found casual sex unfulfilling and therefore unpleasant and kind of boring, I understand Marten's response to it quite well. That he's moping about it so much just means he's still Marten, though.
I hope both sides of this get properly vetted. If you like it, you like it; if not, you don't. No point in recriminations between the two.3DS Friend Code: 3067-5674-0852. Currently running: Emerald.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
There are two things going on here, but Marten is only one of them. He's just (a) had good sex and (b) found out something good about himself. Boo yah. Nobody got killed. He's a big boy, he can assimilate all that for himself. Moping at his friends about it is just pompous.
Meanwhile, all those friends are all but ignoring the other event of the moment, which involves a couple of people who are supposed to be friends of theirs plunging into something completely new to them without a guidebook. Fortunately, they seem to be doing fine, but Marigold for one seemed so desperate in the past that she could have done something really stupid, just to get laid, and she's certainly had one twinge of emotional confusion since the night before.
I'm not saying that Faye and Angus and the rest ought to be mother-henning her and demanding to know that she Took Precautions, but for God's sake stop being so glacially cool at her and at least congratulate her for falling on her feet...Spinnin' that Disc...

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Casual sex with a stranger is unfulfilling to me.
Casual sex with a friend I have affinity with is actually quite fun in my book. I mean, you still got to do something between the innings.
There's multiple degrees of casual sex.
I don't think Angus was judgemental of Marten's preference. But rather, he was judgemental at how Marten is conducting himself. Marten went on to do casual sex while most indications pointed out that he would dislike it.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I dont think marten is quite that bad. He doesnt think everything is going to wind up bad, he is just a passive sort of person who needs to be pushed. He had a nice relationship with dora that she tanked by being psychotic, thats after he danced around faye for a couple years, then he had that fling with padme that turned sour. Now his friends are all paired off and he has no relationship. I think a bit of moping is appropriate personally, but he isnt really even doing that. He is just processing the newly discovered fact that casual sex isnt something he enjoys much. Now, if he breaks into doras storage locker and steals all her old goth makeup and starts talking about how life is pain, we may need to beat him with a sock full of oranges.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I seem to recall that they both have several hundred issues of guidebook, notwithstanding the inevitable humor that shall arise from attempting to apply knowledge gained from manga to real life.
And I likewise suspect that Hannelore has already told everybody exactly how many "precautions" she counted, not to mention what color they were...

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
Is this really an accepted thing? Because I seem to remember hearing people from other regions use that word in roughly that way. Unless I'm actually thinking of movies or something, in which case it could be the writers' speech patterns sometimes taking precedence over the characters'. Or maybe I'm just remembering the '90s, and Angus means that it's only New Englanders who still talk that way...

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
I suspect it might have been said with a slight Boston accent.
Or that it's just something she's never said before (being from Georgia) and she's adaptaing to the local culture.
Or, perhaps, it's because Angus is as big of a sassy-ass as Faye and he knows which buttons of hers to push to get a reaction.
I'm going with the last one, myself.
Well, "Wickhad Chowdah" IS a stereotypical phrase for a reason. Hence the "chowdaaaaaaaah" at the end.
And, as I check Google, I get hella hits for "Wicked Boston Slang"
In fact, as I look at the word 'hella', I figure it's the same thing. Sure, lots of people use the word 'hella' outside of California. But it's still a stereotypicval thing for Californians to say.Last edited by Porthos; 2014-03-04 at 03:27 AM.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
*shrug* Wicked is one of those things that's known but slightly old-fashioned as far as slang goes in the parts of the U.S. I've been in, similar to the way use of 80s slang dates people who were young back then. And I'd never heard of Wickhad Chowdah or any stereotypes of New Englanders that were more nuanced than them pronouncing words in an amusing and/or annoying manner due to vowel shifts and cultural insulation from the rest of the country.
You don't really think Californian when you hear "hella" though, generally. Not like Valley Girl Speak or things of a like nature.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
As a resident of Maine, I can indeed confirm that using 'wicked' as a modifier meaning 'very' is a New Englander thing.

Re: Questionable Content 7: Will Work For Makeouts
As a complete outsider... the only word I'd use "wicked" with is "witch", and even then only one particular example.
But I am vaguely aware it was somewhat popular in older US media...
Though, I think it's been forever since we had a punchline not somehow related to Marten or Marigold getting laid. But this will likely not last long.
