    It is the very same topic. They do not nonlethal damage with their unarmed strikes in Klingon opera.

    Perhaps there's only one rope, going up and down like the thread in a seam. A few rounds after you cut it anywhere, it comes undone, and the Mechane drops into some location that just happens to have a heroic sidequest that needs a hero.

    Julio knows this, and only cuts a rope when he's ahead of schedule, and there's time for a sidequest with a lovely damsel, which takes up just enough time that he will still reach his destination in the nick of time.

    Since he always arrives in the nick of time, I'm pretty sure he can do this whenever.

    Indeed! I wonder when the turnaround that reveals that Breakout Protagonist Andi is actually saving the Mechane will happen. Should be any strip now!

    Nah, that isn't memetic. That's just stating the obvious: when Andi does not make an appearance, she can do no wrong. There are so many pages in which Andi did nothing wrong. #1, #2, #3... For most of The Order of the Stick, Andi did nothing wrong.

    As an author, stooping to provide an explanation for any of those things in the story is to tacitly acknowledge the belief that they are Other that have no business being in the story without a good reason. And **** that.

    Given her age I'm sure she was somewhere in the world breathing during all the events of strips 1 etc, we just didn't see what she was doing. Otherwise, you might as well say Haley was not alive during any strip where *she* didn't appear (she presumably got better).

    I wish Andi'd stop. Breathing, that is.

    Tumblr dude should have said the line is "sometimes better than a master of one." Or "can be better," or variants thereof.

    Heh, I never actually heard that second part before.

    I find it extremely unrelatable. Something being too curious for its own good is entirely plausible, easy to imagine. Resurrection following a reckless death... what the heck?

    The scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.
