The Order Of The Stick: January

Yeah, the Lone Ranger's horse was named Silver. And saying "Hi, Ho, Silver...Away!" was something he said often, while on horseback and the horse rearing and kicking. Any other references you may have heard are callbacks to the Lone Ranger.

In a real d&d game, Roy would have at least ripped off a tree limb and made a club from it, which would have taken him exactly zero days according to the club's price.

But we all know why (http://www.giantitp.com/FAQ.html#faq7) the Giant chose not to do that. And it worked. So I'm not complaining. ;)

A weasel is not a ferret thingy?
;)

**Ferret_Dragon** · 2005-01-31, 10:07 AM (ISO 8601)

Ferrets belong to the same family as weasels.

For argument's sake, you could say that a skunk is a weasel, just as much relation.

Mind you ferrets bare a much greater resemblance to weasels... but no, they are not weasels in the strictest sense.

Hmm... it would be like saying a siberian husky is a wolf.

**Ferret_Dragon** · 2005-01-31, 10:14 AM (ISO 8601)

Heh...

I can't help but notice... There are no posts wondering where today's OotS is... ;) Rich has us trained for patience. Soon, he will be teaching us tricks of the force....

**Aidan305** · 2005-01-31, 10:21 AM (ISO 8601)

We're all sitting here quietly quivering with anticipation.

**L_Opoponax** · 2005-01-31, 11:24 AM (ISO 8601)

I thought I was quivering with caffeine? ;)

Caffeine fueled anticipation.

I feel sorry for the reload button on my browser, though...

**deathregis** · 2005-01-31, 11:52 AM (ISO 8601)

Is it just me or should the LJ Update post not happen until the comic is actually up.

Cause thanks to it I've been sitting here waiting for like 2 hours. Hooray.

**RawBearNYC** · 2005-01-31, 12:25 PM (ISO 8601)

LJ Update post?

**Janitor** · 2005-01-31, 12:31 PM (ISO 8601)

Heathens, Repent!

Your Lord, RB, has forgotten you!

All hail the one supreme being, BANJO!

**Ferret_Dragon** · 2005-01-31, 12:31 PM (ISO 8601)

Normally Rich is good at giving us an update (when the comic will show...) or a filler comic saying that it's running behind.

Poor guy must have his plate full.

**OzRic_The_Unhinged** · 2005-01-31, 12:32 PM (ISO 8601)

oh no... still not there... gotta go home... will check tomorrow !

Actually, weasels and poledogs(European Ferrets) share the same genus (Mustelidae) so they are closeley related. the big difference is the size and the fact that ferrets (Mustelidae Putorius) have stink glands that resemble that of a skunk.

**lartinger** · 2005-01-31, 01:38 PM (ISO 8601)

Don't forget that Rich went to a convention this weekend.

**Caledonian** · 2005-01-31, 02:22 PM (ISO 8601)

"LJ" stands for LiveJournal, the online clipboards/diaries that many people have.

Presumably Rich discusses the comic in his LiveJournal entries.

**Sundog** · 2005-01-31, 02:29 PM (ISO 8601)

AHHH! It's tuesday morning and no OOTS!

Going...going...cold turkeyy...

**Nareth** · 2005-01-31, 02:40 PM (ISO 8601)

Going back to Roy for a minute, Fighters in 3.0 and 3.5 are proficient with all simple and martial weapons. I guess he was so attached to his ancestral sword that he didn't want to carry anything else. That combined with the fact that he couldn't find any weapons in the town would explain why he only has the broken hilt. Hopefully someone else in the party, like Elan, has a spare weapon he can borrow.

It's only Monday. ;)

**cuchulainshound** · 2005-01-31, 03:19 PM (ISO 8601)

Don't demean Mondays! Monday is a perfectly respectable day of the week.

How would you like it if everyone went around posting "It's only Zherog", hmmmm?!!!

Seriously, here it's not even noon, and I'm jonesing pretty bad. Hope all is well!

**Janitor** · 2005-01-31, 03:31 PM (ISO 8601)

I don't really mind the comic being late, it just builds anticipation.

I'm just wondering if Rich is alright. I keep suspecting the worst, like he was kidnapped by ninjas or something.

Heh. I'd say things were improving from what people usually say about me. ;D

Rich was kidnapped by ninjas! What?! Send in the Pirates! Only they have a chance of saving him! :P

**Aidan305** · 2005-01-31, 03:55 PM (ISO 8601)

The ninja-pirates with their ship mounted on a dinosaurs head?

**metaofantioch** · 2005-01-31, 04:09 PM (ISO 8601)

But what if was kidnapped by a bunch of cannibals in a Titan-mounted submarine?

**lartinger** · 2005-01-31, 04:20 PM (ISO 8601)

Or maybe he got back late from the convention...
;)

Or maybe ninja-pirates :D

**Starla** · 2005-01-31, 05:15 PM (ISO 8601)

:'( I was really needing something to laugh at right now. Rough, rough day and I have only been working for 4 hours and I have 4-5 more hours ahead with not another lunch break in sight. **Pouts

Maybe Elan's song will help:
Crush, crush, crush, their heads and make them go away. No one else will bother you! Enjoy the rest of the day. :)

Okay, that helped....Just a little

**Shatteredtower** · 2005-01-31, 07:09 PM (ISO 8601)

Oh, dear. Rereading Thursday's strip and suddenly I'm hearing:

"He needs a sword!"
"A sword!"
"His kingdom for a sword!"

Worse yet, this now means that I see Belkar but hear it pronounced "Peewee."

Blargh... some movies of the eighties should stay forgotten...
