April 6th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
thank you for updating! ps. im first!
April 6th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Yeah, update
April 6th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Wait what? Update?
And a T-shirt available that has a monkey on a giraffe???
nice
Though I will always be saddened that we never reached 1000 posts.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Guy’s pretty scruffy for a high schooler. Also WOAH! on the crush for three years thing. Is that what he was embarrassed about?
And also wooo third post!
April 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
She must be a hallucination. I’m pretty sure her hair defies the laws of conventional physics.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Damn, so close on the third post thing.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Holy SHIT! An update!!
April 6th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Awww I LOVE the teddy!
And the awkward moment.
And Pander, we can just keep going back to the last post and commenting until we hit 1000. It’s a race!
…Or not.
April 6th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Randomness: “Damn, so close on the third post thing.”
Ha! Woot! I’m number 3!
mik: “Holy SHIT! An update!!”
Well put.
Marzipan: “Awww I LOVE the teddy! And the awkward moment.”
And him being curled up in a fetal position? man that guy does not take being sick well.
“And Pander, we can just keep going back to the last post and commenting until we hit 1000.”
It just wouldn’t be the same.
April 6th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Hey, finally! I can hardly believe it
April 6th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
back on the rode, huh?
nice
checking here is a reflex when i dont find anything funny on the net.
that happens when im lazy to search.
hardly ever works but alas here it is, the big revelation
April 6th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Well worth the wait
This seems like something that would happen to me….
April 6th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Considering that Parker, from her lack of recognition of the name “Guy” from the last page, probably just met him for the first time, that must be terribly awkward.
April 6th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Guy in the first panel=dead.
Too bad about the 100 posts Pander.
April 6th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Alex_le_Sang: “Hey, finally! I can hardly believe it ”
There is no new comic. You’ve simply gone insane and are hallucinating that there is one.
It’s called Reader’s Dementia. It happens when devoted readers wait so long for a comic to update that they begin ‘thinking’ that there’s a new comic even though they’re actually reading the same old one over and over again.
Bridgebrain: “Well worth the wait This seems like something that would happen to me….”
Most men, when sick, do clutch their teddy bear while in a fetal position.
Men are wusses. Except me. Me and Chuck Norris.
Ellie: “Too bad about the 100 posts Pander.”
We were sooo close to 1000… soooo close.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
aww, he looks so dead and blah…I have to wonder if he *is* hallucinating though…you know, seeing Parker as the girl he has a crush on and not Parker. Only time will tell.
Daww, we were *so* close to 1000 too. I wonder if he thwarted that on purpose hehe
April 6th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Wow… Gotta feel sorry for guy, they’re still in the bathroom having this talk…
April 6th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Bathroom?
April 6th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I bet Guy is thinking she is someone else…
Chris: You mean Guy, Parker, Stasia etc?
April 6th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Ah, right, that’s what he means, Parker telling the story in the bathroom.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Hee monkeys are lazy = score.
suggestion for next
one with guy on it punching Christian with the tag line
“Cause everyone needs a good punch in the face”
or maybe one with parker on it
Marker $1.00
Poster board $5.00
Statsia tickets $(whatever they cost)
Finding out the chick you’ve been crushing on married the guy that was crushing on you? Priceless
April 6th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
I don’t think there’s any way someone could confuse Parker for someone else.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Thats one way to confess O.O
April 6th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Jon Pander: “Woot! I’m number 3!”
What was it we used to say back in elementary school?
First the worst,
Second the best,
Third the nerd with the hairy chest…
…Sorry, reading Systemz posts caused me to regress.
—
also, poor Guy. And I bet he’d been lying there thinking his day couldn’t get any worse.
April 6th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Jessica: “First the worst,
Second the best,
Third the nerd with the hairy chest…”
Huh, funny…our third was ‘the one who forgot to get dressed’…I mean hairy chest floated around too, but I think that one was used most…I could be wrong…it was a long time ago haha
April 6th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
We used ‘third the turd’ and ‘fourth the wart.’
Great page by the way. I can’t relate to this instance exactly, but I do know the total awkward situation that this creates. Not fun, but makes for a funny story. I was with a group of friends in elementary school and we were each saying who we had a crush on after much jabbing and chiding and urging. (Peer pressure FTW) I finally confessed mine and they all paused, and then pointed laughing. My heart sank, and I couldn’t bear to look behind me. So I asked the cliche question, “She’s behind me isn’t she?”
She was.
April 6th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
AH! ahahah….
April 7th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Wow… this particular family sure makes Parker have the cutest facial expressions. XD
April 7th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Poor Guy lol…. Oh well about reaching 1000 posts we’ll just have to try harder on this page.
PS. Love The comic cant wait for the next one =3
April 7th, 2009 at 12:41 am
PPS LOL Monkeys are lazy arent they?
April 7th, 2009 at 12:42 am
You could confuse Parker for Goku. Maybe he’s had a crush on Dragon Ball Z characters all those years
Other than that, he could be mistaking her since she change her hair-do after becoming a Lesbian. *meh* or it’s really obvious and he’s just been watching her from the side-lines and had this crush for 3 years.
April 7th, 2009 at 12:48 am
Aww, shucks. That’s gotta be the best worst accidental confession ever. If only Parker hadn’t realized she was a lesbian.
But, hey, at least we know how it turned out for Guy in the end, right?
April 7th, 2009 at 12:51 am
WOAH! Wait a second Pander are you saying Batman AKA Mac curls up into the fetal postion with a teddy bear while sick? I…. I dont think I can believe that lol
April 7th, 2009 at 12:55 am
-Squeal!- FINALLY!
April 7th, 2009 at 1:18 am
*squeels with delight* finally an update!
April 7th, 2009 at 1:43 am
Caity: “Daww, we were *so* close to 1000 too. I wonder if he thwarted that on purpose hehe”
Probably. Bobby’s jealous of my having a secretary and an office. He told me so.
Bobby: “Bathroom?”
He means the bathroom in which everyone is brushing their teeth and Parker is talking about this flashback
Jessica: “What was it we used to say back in elementary school?”
Don’t put that paste in your mouth?
“First the worst, Second the best, Third the nerd with the hairy chest…”
Never heard that one actually.
“…Sorry, reading Systemz posts caused me to regress.”
You haven’t regressed to Systemz’s level yet. You’d be calling me gay, swearing like a drunken sailor about golf ball velocity physics, and denying the existence of the imaginary number ‘infinity’ if you had.
Caity: “Huh, funny…our third was ‘the one who forgot to get dressed’…”
That sounds both more pornographic and appropriate.
Rob: “We used ‘third the turd’ and ‘fourth the wart.’”
36th!
Hayden Chase: “Oh well about reaching 1000 posts we’ll just have to try harder on this page. ”
hayden, you are the wind beneath my wings.
charles: “You could confuse Parker for Goku.”
Getting hair like that is a side effect of the powering up effect of becoming a lesbian.
Hayden Chase: “WOAH! Wait a second Pander are you saying Batman AKA Mac curls up into the fetal postion with a teddy bear while sick? I…. I dont think I can believe that lol”
Mac is no mere man. He is Mac. Mac is so tough he gives virii colds instead.
April 7th, 2009 at 5:22 am
an update? finally i was being to think that youd never update…nice page although i hate seeing Guy all mooby! i demand humor!…next page should be really funny…i could always imagine what Parker is going to do…that and the line “-well im sorta gay!”
April 7th, 2009 at 5:25 am
p.s. you should make another t-shirt with stacys face when see saw Guy shaking hand wiht her father…the priceless one!
April 7th, 2009 at 5:53 am
What amuses me is the fact that he’s actually wearing his glasses whilst lying sick in bed.
I guess it helps when the hallucinations are in focus…
April 7th, 2009 at 7:19 am
HAPPY DAY!!!!
A New Page and A new revelation?!
and don’t knock Parker’s Anime Hair. all she needs is a Giant Robot.
April 7th, 2009 at 8:14 am
…! An update! I’m in shock! Please continue doing whatever you’re doing while I go catatonic.
And myxa: Stacy? You mean Stasia?
Okay, okay, sorry, catatonic now. *flop*
April 7th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Wow! Did not see that coming! Was that before or after she had her hair cut?
And sorry that I point this out but,
I would never wear my glasses in bed, let alone when extremely sick.
It’s uncomfortable and … Pointless.
=O sorry
April 7th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Ouch, for just about the first time I feel sorry for Guy instead of envying him.
A) Arguably the least graceful way to tell someone you like them. You’re wearing what are by now very sweaty pajamas. You are running a fever, feel, look, and sound like crap, as well as hallucinating about presumably all manner of things. Just the kind of set up every man dreams of having for that crucial first contact.
B) Not only does he have one of the worst intros ever, his crush is unreachable. How didn’t he die of complications springing from severe loss of will to live?
On a more jocular note, once when I was little and (very) sick I had semi-hallucinations where the couch I was on was a roller coaster. It might have had something to do with my inner ear. Anyway, I was a little disappointed when I got better.
Sci Guy
April 7th, 2009 at 10:07 am
XD
April 7th, 2009 at 10:22 am
myxa: “p.s. you should make another t-shirt with stacys face when see saw Guy shaking hand wiht her father…the priceless one!”
Guessing you mean stasia.
BTW, Monkeys being lazy sells better
I’m buying one. I have many monkeys shirt, but none which also have a giraffe.
I kid you not btw, I actually am buying one.
April 7th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Monkeys are lazy as fuck.
April 7th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
He had a crush on Parker for three years. Unless he is hallucinating and Parker looks like a completely different girl to him. This also appears to be one of those points where Stasia would suddenly interject on the story with a.
“YOU once had a crush on Parker!?”
Most wives like to know if there husband is friends with an old crush
April 7th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Updates? Monkeys on Giraffes on T-Shirts? Crushes on lesbians? IT’S MADNESS!!!
Well, either that or Pnader on hacked the server and is posting this under Bobby’s name, in which case, everything is awesome.
“Norman728 Says:
and don’t knock Parker’s Anime Hair. all she needs is a Giant Robot.”
Say what? A giant robot and a lesbian vampire? My God, someone get Kohta Hirano on the phone, stat!
“Vera Says:
I don’t think there’s any way someone could confuse Parker for someone else.”
That’s a little known weapon in the lesbian vampire arsenal — making the victim think that you’re someone else.
April 7th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Brent: “Updates? Monkeys on Giraffes on T-Shirts? Crushes on lesbians? IT’S MADNESS!!!”
uh oh… I think he’s onto me….
“Well, either that or Pnader on hacked the server and is posting this under Bobby’s name, in which case, everything is awesome. ”
He’s onto my plan to take over Bobby’s life! abort! abort!
Norman728: “and don’t knock Parker’s Anime Hair. all she needs is a Giant Robot.â€
Her lesbian power level is over nine thoooooooooooosaaaaaaaaaaand!
April 7th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Nice comic! and a story that has an ending? Yeow! I finally decided to check your story out due to the hi-larious link pic (Guy w/ teddy). What a great story with some quality chars. and the art really drew me in as well. Good fun.
April 7th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Hah! It’s the one update a month post. Yay!!
See, I knew that all men are babies when they get ill. I haven’t met one yet that isn’t like that.
April 7th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
On the subject of hallucinations: After I got my wisdom teeth pulled and was on all kinds of painkillers and whatnot, I went grocery shopping and saw gorillas in pretty much every aisle. And was fine with it.
Jon Pander: “Mac is no mere man. He is Mac. Mac is so tough he gives virii colds instead.”
Nice save.
“Jessica: “What was it we used to say back in elementary school?â€
Don’t put that paste in your mouth?”
Well, that too, except it was “Ne met pas cette colle dans ta bouche!”
April 7th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Things I love, panel one. I mean look at the squishy bear bear.
April 7th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee!
That was so sweet and unexpected XD no wonder he didn’t want her to tell! I was so happy to see an update ^.^ I squeeEd XD
April 7th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Either
a) he knew her and crushed on her or
b) a hallucination of someone he had a crush on is overlaying her and it’s just not showing in the panel
April 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Brent: “Updates? Monkeys on Giraffes on T-Shirts? Crushes on lesbians? IT’S MADNESS!!!â€
MADNESS!!? THIS. IS. SPAAAAAAAARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
In any case, I’m glad there’s a new page. And I’m totally not hallucinating that there’s a new page right? Because then I’d be hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating, and that I’m posting about hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating about Son Parker and her super サイヤジん powers.
April 7th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
O___o was not expecting that!
April 7th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
yay! hallucination stories!
Not sure that it was a hallucination as much as being outright delirious. But one time I was wicked sick and stuck at college. So I’m in my dorm trying to sleep it off and in the late afternoon, the sun used to stream right into my window onto my bed. So I wake up enough to stare blearily at the stark shadows on my green comforter and think ‘it’s like the surface of Mars….’ And then was promptly unconscious again.
“Well, that too, except it was “Ne met pas cette colle dans ta bouche!—
Hah, I used to “know” french. Or at least as much as a heavy emphasis on vocabulary and little on actual sentence structure or pronunciation is ‘knowing’ french.
April 7th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
^^ yay update… aren’t they supposed to be in highschool at this point? If so wow, guy has a pretty good 5 o’clock shadow going there for a teenager :p ^^
April 7th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I did French immersion, so in theory I’m fluent. It’s been a few years now though, and truth to tell, my accent was never that great.
April 7th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Pah, French is my matternal language, and I’m still not very good at it. French is a really hard language to both learn and keep.
As for hallucination stories, the only time I ever remember hallucinating was after I got my wisdom teeth pulled… But those hallucinations weren’t exactly PG-13, so I can’t really say much more. ^^;
April 7th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
*mouth drops open* new comic. Yay!
i’ll read all the comments when it’s not 1:15 in the morning and I have college at 8. haha.
April 7th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
that was just about the last thing I expected. my brain has just asploded.
And I don’t think he looks like a high-schooler, his face is too mature in its dimensions. Too long and sharp in the jaw, even mature-looking high-schoolers usually still have some softness around the edges.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:03 am
Like Guy, I too sleep with my glasses on when I am sick. Distorted lines and general blurriness do wonders on a nauseated stomach.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:39 am
An update?! Thank you Bobby & Eisu! Fan-frakkin’-tastic! (Yes I miss Galactica) I love you guys! –But not as much as I love my wife.
I just re-read the series from the beginning –again.
Speaking of which, Novelsense, you just have to have a really GOOD reason to wear your glasses in bed. Makes it easier to see before and after snuggles.
Novelsense Says:
April 7th, 2009 at 8:23 am
And sorry that I point this out but,
I would never wear my glasses in bed, let alone when extremely sick.
It’s uncomfortable and … Pointless
April 8th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Glasses are handy for reading together in bed, too!
April 8th, 2009 at 2:21 am
I’d call that a pellucidation, myself.
April 8th, 2009 at 3:50 am
cher: “I finally decided to check your story out due to the hi-larious link pic (Guy w/ teddy).”
Yknow, if I had heard that a comic featured a guy with a teddy, I would probably have avoided it. Would’a thought it was a crossdressing comic or something.
“the art really drew me in as well.”
She made a pun! She’s right though, of course. it’s awesome
Sae: “See, I knew that all men are babies when they get ill. I haven’t met one yet that isn’t like that.”
It’s because we all are hoping we’ll wind up having a hot nurse in a skimpy outfit give us a sponge bath.
Jessica: “After I got my wisdom teeth pulled and was on all kinds of painkillers and whatnot, I went grocery shopping and saw gorillas in pretty much every aisle. And was fine with it.”
That makes sense. AFter al, gorillas are basically big monkeys. And monkeys are lazy, so you had nothing to fear.
“Nice save.”
Wasn’t it?
“Well, that too, except it was “Ne met pas cette colle dans ta bouche!—
1) Two can play at that game. Crepe souzette. Sacrebleu!
2) You know, I haven’t spoken french since high school and I don’t remember a word of it, so I’m going to pretend you said something extremely dirty and suggestive to me in French instead.
ShariIsLikeWHOA: “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeee!”
Ow. Keep it down willya.
“I squeeEd XD”
Cleanup on aisle 4. Not sure if it was the fangirl or those gorillas, but someone’s gonna slip if it’s not taken care of.
Phil: “MADNESS!!? THIS. IS. SPAAAAAAAARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!”
Dude, I salute you for thinking of that before I did.
“And I’m totally not hallucinating that there’s a new page right?”
Yes, you are hallucinating. There’s no new page.
“Because then I’d be hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating, and that I’m posting about hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating about Son Parker and her super サイヤジん powers.”
You’re controlling the hallucination. You’re like Neo…. but not as impressive power-wise.
Caity: “So I wake up enough to stare blearily at the stark shadows on my green comforter and think ‘it’s like the surface of Mars….’ And then was promptly unconscious again.”
You are so cool and deep and junk when you’re delirious Caity.
“Hah, I used to “know†french. Or at least as much as a heavy emphasis on vocabulary and little on actual sentence structure or pronunciation is ‘knowing’ french.”
I had to learn french in high school, and forgot it as soon as I graduated. I’ve made it a habit to forget stuff as soon as I no longer need it. Currently most of my knowledge of french comes from Pepe Le Pew cartoons.
marie: “If so wow, guy has a pretty good 5 o’clock shadow going there for a teenager”
Guy’s had a 5′oclock shadow since he was 6 years old. Guy without his scruffiness would be like the Fonz without his leather jacket.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Jessica: “I did French immersion”
French stuff is good.
1) French kisses. Rowr.
2) French-cut bikini. Major Rowr.
3) French fries. What, does everyting I say have to be sex-based? I’m hungry too, yknow.
“so in theory I’m fluent.”
Please say you’re fluent in either #1 or #2 above.
Riona: “As for hallucination stories, the only time I ever remember hallucinating was after I got my wisdom teeth pulled… But those hallucinations weren’t exactly PG-13, so I can’t really say much more.”
You can not start off a story like that and NOT give details.
redkirk: “Glasses are handy for reading together in bed, too!”
I wouldn’t wear glasses in bed. They’d probably get broken when I or the girl started rolling back and forth.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:35 am
I love this page, it might be because of how long it was between the two pages and you could´ve slapped a monkey on a donkey and called it a page and I would’ve loved it. But I genuinely like this page like all the others. Keep them comin’!
April 8th, 2009 at 5:27 am

So technically you’re hallucinating that you’re posting that you’re hallucinating about Guy hallucinating about Parker being a hallucination, all of which is really just another hallucination of Pander’s? That’s deep, man….
April 8th, 2009 at 5:42 am
Finally.
Aww, love Guy’s teddy bear.
:3
April 8th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Ok people, gather suplies while you can… You’re in for a looonnnnggggg ride…
If the next page is like the previous one, prepare to wait a loooonnnnggggg time for it =P
Oh boy… I can’t even start to imagine the time it will take the next page to come out…
April 8th, 2009 at 7:30 am
I dunno, I wear my glasses whilst (I love that word) sick. It’s mainly because I’ll pick up a book and then pass out for a while and then wake up and read a little more or watch some TV… it’s hard enough lifting a book or remote control without fumbling for my glasses fifty frickin times a day.
Then again, I wear my glasses for EVERYTHING.
I have no hallucination stories to share. How boring.
On the other hand, people keep telling me the pooka that keeps following me around isn’t real…
(You win if you can guess the reference.)
Dan: An interjection might happen at this point, but somehow I highly doubt this revelation will bother Ana much. She already knows Parker is crazy, now she probably has some insight as to WHY.
Pander: “Her lesbian power level is over nine thoooooooooooosaaaaaaaaaaand!”
Fail. Just fail.
“You know, I haven’t spoken french since high school and I don’t remember a word of it, so I’m going to pretend you said something extremely dirty and suggestive to me in French instead.”
Honestly, with French, that’s not a huge leap to take. It all sounds very suggestive to me, which is why I hate it when my stepmom starts speaking French. EWWWWW.
Jessica: You went to school in France/Belgium? That is cool.
Phil: “MADNESS!!? THIS. IS. SPAAAAAAAARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!”
Fail #2. Pander, stop encouraging them.
Whew! Long post. You guys talk too much. Or I have too much life getting in the way of my checking this.
April 8th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Marzipan: On the other hand, people keep telling me the pooka that keeps following me around isn’t real…
The reference is to an old movie called Harvey. Although the legend of Pookas is much older than that, but in the old fables they are very different than portrayed in the movie. Great movie btw.
Just read this comic for the first time myself, and I love it.
Hallucinations are fun. Most of the time.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I have 2 things to say:
1 When i’m sick sometimes I just pass out in bed and don’t even think of taking off my glasses first…sothat could have happened…
2 I bet Chuck Norris secretly wears giant footy pajamas and snuggles a teddy on a regular basis
April 8th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Marzipan: “I have no hallucination stories to share. How boring.

I want to say Anastasia…the animated movie not the character…I’m pretty sure that is what she called her dog
April 8th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Ro: I love this page, it might be because of how long it was between the two pages and you could´ve slapped a monkey on a donkey and called it a page and I would’ve loved it.”
You’re making it really too easy for me to make a joke about ’slapping a monkey.’ There is no challenge in this so I will not say anything more about it.
“Keep them comin’!”
See above comment.
Brent: “MADNESS!!? THIS. IS. SPAAAAAAAARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!”
2 points for putting in a 300 reference.
“In any case, I’m glad there’s a new page. And I’m totally not hallucinating that there’s a new page right?”
Yes, you are hallucinating.
“Because then I’d be hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating, and that I’m posting about hallucinating that Guy’s hallucinating about Son Parker and her super サイヤジん powersâ€
You have a very vivid imagination. There has been no update, what are you talking about?
“So technically you’re hallucinating that you’re posting that you’re hallucinating about Guy hallucinating about Parker being a hallucination, all of which is really just another hallucination of Pander’s? That’s deep, man….”
Everything is a hallucination of mine. You’re all figments of my imagination.
Will all the female hottie figments please come over here for another shower orgy. You have no choice but to do so, figment hotties. Thank you.
Sorta makes sense on how I can be a deity now, doesnt it?
Myself: “If the next page is like the previous one, prepare to wait a loooonnnnggggg time for it =P”
I’m not sure I could bear to get so close to 1000 again just to have it taken from me.
Marzipan: “On the other hand, people keep telling me the pooka that keeps following me around isn’t real… (You win if you can guess the reference.)”
Type of fae from Changeling: The Dreaming.
What do I win? Does it involve you wearing something revealing?
“Pander: “Her lesbian power level is over nine thoooooooooooosaaaaaaaaaaand!†Fail. Just fail.”
You’re right. It’s not at that level right now, her hair isn’t blond yet.
“Honestly, with French, that’s not a huge leap to take. It all sounds very suggestive to me, which is why I hate it when my stepmom starts speaking French. EWWWWW. ”
I have a hunch that French isn’t even a real language. It’s sort of like Klingon, except sexual-sounding instead of war-sounding.
Frankly (HAHAHAA), I doubt the existence of France as well.
“Fail #2. Pander, stop encouraging them.”
But it’s fun. Their minds are like taffy now!
“Whew! Long post. You guys talk too much. Or I have too much life getting in the way of my checking this.”
I’m going with choice #1. None of us actually have lives.
Mandi”I bet Chuck Norris secretly wears giant footy pajamas and snuggles a teddy on a regular basis”
Why do you say such evil things?
Besides, they did that joke on a TV show called “Yes Dear.” Chuck Norris sand Little Bunny Foo Foo. He still managed to beat up a dozen men with ease by the end of the show.
And Chuck Norris in footy pagamas and a Teddy bear can still kill 20 men with his pinky.

Is Guy totally blind without his glasses? Because wearing em while lying on your side like that is not only uncomfortable, you can also bend the frame easily. That, and he’s sick as all hell. Wearing my glasses is not high on MY list when I’m so sick I’m hallucinating.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
To be honest, when this page first popped up, I was surprised as heck. I forgot this comic actually updated from time to time xD
Et bonjour to all the french speakers!
April 8th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
And yes, I am still commenting on the old page xD
April 8th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
only 20 men? I’m sure he could kill at least 30 from the shock of him wearing footy pajamas.
April 9th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Whoa! A total “Bum Bum Bum!!” moment!! And i like how Guy looks grumpy on the first panel, it’s so what i would be like if i was sick, get all grumpy
btw, could anyone tell me why this page doesn’t show up in the archives box at the top of the page? Is the box filled up? Should/will another one be made?
April 9th, 2009 at 12:32 am
Thanks for reminding me — it’s there now.

Jon Pander: ” You know, I haven’t spoken french since high school and I don’t remember a word of it, so I’m going to pretend you said something extremely dirty and suggestive to me in French instead.”
Well, it was about not putting something in one’s mouth. I’m guessing you generally hope for the opposite though, don’t you?
“Cleanup on aisle 4. Not sure if it was the fangirl or those gorillas, but someone’s gonna slip if it’s not taken care of.”
Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be milking my hallucinations for a while?
“French stuff is good.
1) French kisses. Rowr.
2) French-cut bikini. Major Rowr.
3) French fries. What, does everyting I say have to be sex-based? I’m hungry too, yknow.”
You do so much for the image of men everywhere.
“Please say you’re fluent in either #1 or #2 above.”
1) Wouldn’t you like to know?
2) No. I used to swim competitively, so I tend to wear one-piece suits with one of the two or three variations of shoulders and back for competitive swimmers.
And what happened to accepting that I’m working in the realm of supply rather than as a product? (Or however you phrased “Jessica = mediator/manager, not harem member”)
Marzipan: “Jessica: You went to school in France/Belgium? That is cool. ”
Sadly, no. I went to a French Immersion school in Canada. There’s at least one in most towns, since the country has the two official languages. I have been to Paris twice though, if that counts. (And I spent last semester in England. Which has nothing to do with French, obviously, but is in Europe.)
“Honestly, with French, that’s not a huge leap to take. It all sounds very suggestive to me…”
Which is why Jon might want to remember how to speak it, right Marzipan?
(Votre nom continue d’etre delicieux, cherie.)
Jon Pander: “Everything is a hallucination of mine. You’re all figments of my imagination.”
Could you kindly imagine me less essays and finals to write?
“It’s sort of like Klingon”
I hear you can take courses on THAT in the States.
“Frankly (HAHAHAA), I doubt the existence of France as well.”
1) *groan*
2) That would be a real shame. France is beautiful.
“I’m going with choice #1. None of us actually have lives.”
I have essays. Beyond essays, I see and know nothing.
Alicia: “Et bonjour to all the french speakers!”
Bonjour, Alicia! Comment ca va?

And to enter The Great Glasses Debate… I wear mine at all times unless I know for sure that I’m definitely going to sleep. So if I was just sick and drowsing in and out, they’d probably be on my face, getting bent and smudged.

“I have no hallucination stories to share. How boring.
On the other hand, people keep telling me the pooka that keeps following me around isn’t real…

Only if it’s a seven foot tall white rabbit named Harvey.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:21 am
Man, it’s so weird that Parker and Guy hadn’t changed their appearance in three years. It’s madness, I tell you. I can’t even tell it’s a flashback!
April 9th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Does the MARRY ME Comic book have these ‘When Parker met Guy’ extras?
And the extras that your going to add ect… whill they ever be published? Like if you chose to carry on past the ‘When Parker met Guy’ extras?

Hayden Chase: “only 20 men? I’m sure he could kill at least 30 from the shock of him wearing footy pajamas.”
Chuck Norris does not kill from shock. He kills from Awe.
Jessica: “Well, it was about not putting something in one’s mouth. I’m guessing you generally hope for the opposite though, don’t you?”
Generally?
Always.
“Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be milking my hallucinations for a while?”
Because you’re very observant of my mannerisms?
“You do so much for the image of men everywhere.”
I try to uphold a standard for other men to live up to. It’s a big responsibility.
“No. I used to swim competitively, so I tend to wear one-piece suits with one of the two or three variations of shoulders and back for competitive swimmers.”
In my mind, it was a string bikini.
“And what happened to accepting that I’m working in the realm of supply rather than as a product? (Or however you phrased “Jessica = mediator/manager, not harem memberâ€)”
Doesn’t mean I can’t still have fun.
“Sadly, no. I went to a French Immersion school in Canada.”
I’m pretty sure Canada isn’t a real country either. It’s a state of the United States instead. If you want proof, we secretly replaced their money with monopoly money. No one could tell the difference. Besides, we think it’s cute when canadians call themselves a country.
I’m sure i’m going to get major hate for saying that. For some reason, Canadians are awful touchy (except Thunt from Goblins, who seems pretty good about when I make fun of Canada).
“Which is why Jon might want to remember how to speak it, right Marzipan?”
Utilisez cette chemise serrée tandis que je vous pulvérise avec un tuyau.
“Could you kindly imagine me less essays and finals to write?”
That treatment tends to be reserved for my more erotic figments.
“I hear you can take courses on THAT in the States.”
I heard that too. Probably the same school that allowed that guy to major in Madonna.
“That would be a real shame. France is beautiful.”
France is actually a Hollywood set located at Universal Studios in California.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Sorry my bad I ment awe. Don’t know what I was thinking. Lol
April 9th, 2009 at 11:55 am
In case I’m halluzinating the new update: Wohoo! 1000th post!!
In case I’m still relatively sane and my happiness at a new update isn’t halluzination: I think Mr. Crosby posted the new page to crush the attempt at 1000 posts so we would have something to aim at while waiting for the next update. The good news is, “Yay, another go at it!” and the bad is that it might be a long long wait again…
April 9th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
“Man, it’s so weird that Parker and Guy hadn’t changed their appearance in three years.”
It’s seven years.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Jon Pander: “And Chuck Norris in footy pagamas and a Teddy bear can still kill 20 men with his pinky.”
The imaging is already killing many…I saw part of that episode btw he didn’t even know the whole song and had the one guy sing it to his daughter over the phone.
Imagining anyone “tough” in footy pajamas would just start the laughter…2 words…Arnold Schwarzenegger
April 9th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
How do we know that Parker isn’t a hallucination? What if everyone in the comic is crazy? Lol
April 9th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
@ Jessica- Je suis trés bien au’jord hui!
And I wear my glasses in bed too…unless I know FOR SURE I’ll be sleeping…

April 9th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Usererror41 wins.
I hoped that people would get it by the fact that the pooka was following me, instead of just randomly causing trouble or tempting me to ride it so it could drown me.
And just cause pander asked, I’ll show Usererror my favorite teddy.
Mandi, way to take all the macho ruggedness out of Chuck Norris. The guy was due.
Pander: (“Fail #2. Pander, stop encouraging them.â€)
“But it’s fun. Their minds are like taffy now!”
Are you part of that alien conspiracy thingie I keep seeing on TV? Cause the girl with the long tongue is pretty hot.
Alicia: There are still comments on the other page?! I gotta go see!
Jessica: Immersion school is cool, too. The US should have that; learning languages while young is the way to go. Like most things, though, the US is sadly behind in education.
ditakayan wins a negligee peek too!

Y did u keep us waiting so long
April 9th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Pander, “the girl with the long tongue”??? You poor, unenlightened fool! That exquisite creature is not some random bundle of female body parts; she is the delectable Eliza Dushku.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
7 years… 3years… either way this looks like a flashback from yesterday. Try a little harder to de-age those two.
I mean, not Bobby’s fault… I expected Eisu to know this was a 7 year flashback and at least give somoene acne or braces… and perhaps typical 90’s highschool clothes?
April 9th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Damn. I missed the update by four days?! How could I miss such an earth-shattering occurrence? I mean, really….!
April 9th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Well, seeing as the time on this site says it’s still Thursday, three days. Same difference.
April 9th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
“I expected Eisu to know this was a 7 year flashback and at least give somoene acne or braces… and perhaps typical 90’s highschool clothes?”
Why would they be wearing typical ’90s clothes in 2002? They look seven years younger to me. My 18 and 25 year old pictures look identical and so do a lot of other people’s.
April 9th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
I wear contacts most of the time, but my glasses to bed. Not when I’m sleeping, but in bed, reading.
And… Hurrah for update.
April 10th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Been a while since I commented. Loved Guy’s facial expression(s) too much to pass this one up.
And yeah, I look the same at 23 (now) as I did at 18. Would’ve been interesting if Guy used to actually shave cleanly — though he IS pretty ill.
We already saw Parker change her look, anyway!
April 10th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Mandi: “The imaging is already killing many…I saw part of that episode btw he didn’t even know the whole song and had the one guy sing it to his daughter over the phone.”
It still works. He sang the parachute song in that episode.
Carrera: “How do we know that Parker isn’t a hallucination? What if everyone in the comic is crazy?”
Because everyone here is a figment of my imagination, that technically means t he webcomic is as well, including Parker. Very astute reasoning, figment.
Alicia: “Carrera, et others: Nothing is real, everything is reality, take it or leave it, but you’ll never know the truth!”
Please don’t say ‘What is the matrix?” now.
Marzipan: “Usererror41 wins. I hoped that people would get it by the fact that the pooka was following me, instead of just randomly causing trouble or tempting me to ride it so it could drown me.”
Aw cmon, say I was right.
“And just cause pander asked, I’ll show Usererror my favorite teddy.”
I want a recount! A RECOUNT!!!!!
Jessica: “ditakayan wins a negligee peek too!”
This is so wrong on so many levels. I should be getting the free peeks.
Tool(band)fan: “Y did u keep us waiting so long”
Because Bobby hates Tool, the band.
puma: “Pander, “the girl with the long tongueâ€??? You poor, unenlightened fool! That exquisite creature is not some random bundle of female body parts; she is the delectable Eliza Dushku.”
I take exception to your libellous talk, sir! I did not post about ‘the girl with the long tongue’ – that was Jessica, responding to a different post I made.
Judging from all the restraining orders that her lawyer has sent to me, I konw perfectly well who Eliza Dushku (Faith) – she loves me completely and just doesn’t know it yet. So do Jessica Alba and Alyssa Milano.
wiebenjij: “7 years… 3years… either way this looks like a flashback from yesterday.”
Maybe Bobby can say it was 30 years ago, and put them in bellbottom pants and big afros.
“I mean, not Bobby’s fault… I expected Eisu to know this was a 7 year flashback and at least give somoene acne or braces…”
Once you become a lesbian, braces and acne automatically vanish.
And Guy developed a cure for acne and crooked teeth when he was 12. He did not put it into commercial production because, being the great guy he is, he felt it would hurt the economy too much.
“and perhaps typical 90’s highschool clothes?”
Grunge?
7 years ago wouldn’t be the 90’s.
Sam: “Damn. I missed the update by four days?!”
Slooooooooooow.
“How could I miss such an earth-shattering occurrence?”
Someone put downers in your morning coffee.
“I mean, really….!”
Okay fine.. the someone was me. Really.
Lydia: “Been a while since I commented.”
You and I are so different.
“And yeah, I look the same at 23 (now) as I did at 18.”
But opposites can attract. *wink*
April 10th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Wow, Parker’s day is already full of surprises. She had that same expression on the last panel of the previous page, too.
April 10th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
puma: “Pander, “the girl with the long tongueâ€??? You poor, unenlightened fool! That exquisite creature is not some random bundle of female body parts; she is the delectable Eliza Dushku.”
Did you mean me? I’m sorry, I generally fail at the celebrity recognition. I only recognized Seth Green when he did the commercials because he did all the Family Guy characters.
Haha, no peeking for Pander. You’re gonna have to earn it, baby.
And that was not Jessica that spoke of the girl with the long tongue, that was me. Get your facts right, people.
On the other hand, I don’t really WANT to take the credit for ditziness… but it doesn’t seem fair to Jessica. Let’s just make up a person to blame and name her Ellie. No wait. Sydney. Augh!Jessica? No, that was the name that started the problem.
I’ll shut up now. O:)
And my face has changed a lot in seven years (the subtraction of baby fat and regular fat), but if your genes are working for you there wouldn’t be too much different. And seriously, who’d right a comic about someone whose genes WEREN’T working for them?
April 10th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
whoa!! didnt expect that i didnt know Guy had a crush on Parker!!
April 10th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Jawfall!
April 10th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Marzipan: “Haha, no peeking for Pander. You’re gonna have to earn it, baby. ”
Oh cmon, I started a major internet religion which produces much joy, shower orgies, and wet T-shirt contests during the long pause between the updates. I should get a ton of free peeks!
“And that was not Jessica that spoke of the girl with the long tongue, that was me. Get your facts right, people. ”
Yeah, as if I wouldn’t know the name Eliza Dushku. I mean cmon, she was FAITH, people! Gorgeous psychopath.
“And my face has changed a lot in seven years (the subtraction of baby fat and regular fat), but if your genes are working for you there wouldn’t be too much different.”
I just get better each year. My genes like me.
April 10th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
poor Guy, he looks terrible.
that monkeys are lazy shirt is win.
great job, as usual. 
April 10th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
I was just rereading the series, and I realised that Parker talked a bit about the new characters in this side story. I’m hoping to see more of the craziness of “Crazy Daisy.”
Memes can be fun sometimes. Tropes Are Not Bad. I personally use Sparta very rarely, and have little to no interest in every seeing 300. But the way people react to memes is always interesting. Sow a few seeds, and see what they grow into, y’know?
And it was just tempting me with the Brent’s “Madness” line. I had to write that before someone else (like Pander) did.
I’ve had hallucinatory visions before, but never drug-induced. I stay away from drugs. Not very good stuff. But odd and disturbing visions that are not quite clear about their reality are always interesting, and I’ve gotten them when ill with very high fevers. I wonder why Guy is hallucinating (or was, and thinks he still is)?
Of course, the most odd and intriguing visions are the strange ones that turn out to be REAL. There are some weird things that happen. I’d get into some of them, but I’m really tired right now, and I’m not at my optimal brain processing power.
I’m really interested in this “when Guy Wasn’t Perfect and How He Got To Be,” side story though. We only got to see a little bit of Guy’s flaws in the original story, albeit set up really, really well for that painful punchline. I’m interested in how Parker goes from seeing this sickily, hallucinating shut-up who has had a secret crush on her for the last three years to seeing an utterly perfect guy and best friend that she can’t help but be jealous of when he steals the “love of her life.”
April 11th, 2009 at 1:17 am
Oh YAY! An update! WOOT!!
Guy looks so disturbed in the first panel….. It’s like his evil twin or something.
I can’t wait to see the next one…… oooooooooo
April 11th, 2009 at 1:18 am
Minor spoiler: The next one will get huge laughs.
April 11th, 2009 at 11:05 am
Pander: Sure, you contributed to the general state of the internet, but what does an internet sex religion do for ME?
So enlighten me:
…Who is Faith?
…And I meant “if your genes are working for you there wouldn’t be too much differenCE. Sorry. It was Friday. My brain had deserted me. Now it’s Saturday and I’ve located my brain in the far corner of the room and dusted it off.
Yay Bobby I can’t wait to laugh!
April 11th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Girl he had a crush on…? O_o (tries to remember if there was any mention of him liking her before, or if he may just be seeing someone else…)
I wonder what happens next… He doesn’t even know he’s saying that. ^_^” (I also wonder why he’s hallucinating O_o )
April 11th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Phil: “Memes can be fun sometimes.”
Even when they’re puns? Huh? HUH?!?!
“Tropes Are Not Bad.”
Reciting tropes is a very good way of avoiding having to form ones own opinions.
“I personally use Sparta very rarely, and have little to no interest in every seeing 300.”
I heard that in the director’s cut, because of all the slow motion scenes, a 120 minute movie actually takes 3 days and 14 hours and 22 minutes to watch it.
“But the way people react to memes is always interesting. Sow a few seeds, and see what they grow into, y’know?”
I love tequila.
I love hot babe contests
Love shower orgies
And being a forum pest
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom de yada, boom de yada
Boom de yada, boom de yada
“And it was just tempting me with the Brent’s “Madness†line. I had to write that before someone else (like Pander) did. ”
I’m kicking myself for not having written it first.
“I’ve had hallucinatory visions before, but never drug-induced.”
So just the alcohol induced ones then?
“I stay away from drugs. Not very good stuff.”
Nancy Reagan will be glad that you took her advice.
“I’m really tired right now, and I’m not at my optimal brain processing power”
Since when does that stop comments on the comments forum?
Memi: “Guy looks so disturbed in the first panel….. It’s like his evil twin or something.”
Correct. Evil Twin Guy’s actual name is Yug.
Marzipan: “Pander: Sure, you contributed to the general state of the internet, but what does an internet sex religion do for ME?”
Participation is key.
“So enlighten me: …Who is Faith?”
Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The evil slayer who worked for the Mayor? Okay I have to substract 2 ‘cool’ points for you not knowing that. I can be bribed though and give those points back
“My brain had deserted me. Now it’s Saturday and I’ve located my brain in the far corner of the room and dusted it off.”
See Phil? (see above comments for elaboration on this response)
April 11th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Pander: “Slooooooooooow.”
Sadly so.
“Someone put downers in your morning coffee.”
The bastard.
“Okay fine.. the someone was me. Really.”
Messing with my imaginary coffee. That’s a new low.
April 11th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Finaly an update! I like this page. But no explinations about the hiatus?
April 11th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Mr. Crosby is above explaining himself to lowly mortals such as we. You should know better than to question the motives and actions of beings you have no way of understanding.
April 11th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
So Guy had a crush on Parker for three years but was crushed to find out that she was a lesbian. He tried to convince himself he was ok with just being her friend but was secretly nursing a broken heart. Then he saw his opportunity to get his revenge when Stacia said “Yes” at the concert.
Guy really IS horrible!
PS: Ignore my mad ramblings. If I don’t look for insane conspiracy theories on-line I start coming up with them in conversations and scare my family.
April 11th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
I know what will be the “huge laughs” Bobby Crosby said…
This panel is a joke… It’s a lie to “scare” Stasia xD
It’s Parker’s joke to “scare” Stasia by saying Guy was in love with her 3 years… wich is a lie of course.
OR
It’s Guy joking with Parker… just messing with her =P
But I believe the 1st option.
April 11th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Oh em Gee … I love this… Not only can I view the comic Beautifully… But I can also comment it from my new Nintendoâ„¢ DSi®……
April 12th, 2009 at 12:09 am
Sam: “Messing with my imaginary coffee. That’s a new low.”
You have no idea of the depths of my depravity.
I can be so low that I have to look up to see the bottom of the Marinaras Trench
smly: “Finaly an update! I like this page. But no explinations about the hiatus?”
Bobby was in training to become a ninja.
Menninkäinen: “You should know better than to question the motives and actions of beings you have no way of understanding.”
Look I know that ninja are all ‘mysterious’ and junk, but I’ve watched a ton of ninja movies, so I think i have a pretty good understanding of their motives.
Myself: “This panel is a joke… It’s a lie to “scare†Stasia xD It’s Parker’s joke to “scare†Stasia by saying Guy was in love with her 3 years… wich is a lie of course.”
Or maybe Guy throws up on Parker. Vomit is hilarious.

Oh dear….with this end up being one of those…
“Wait, you had a crush on me for three years?”
“Why tell you, your not here.”
“B-but I had one on YOU for TWO! But…well…you didn’t seem interested…”
“Be gone spirit! Torment me no longer!’
“You know…if I had found out just a week earlier I wouldn’t have slept with….” *Descends into semi-graphic descriptions of her comming out/*
“Ok…NOW I know I’m hallucinating….”
Joking aside, I can really feel for Guy in panel one, I’ve been there once, the ‘you know, death would be pretty good about now’ sick, never had the bear to clutch tho, mine was a little stuffed Timber wolf
April 12th, 2009 at 7:33 am
i just found this and i am a little sad to discover that it is being updates rarely, but it is too good of a plot to not check daily…

@All: Never mess with my coffee…imaginary or otherwise. Or you will die. The end.
@Galamere: lol, love your dialouge xD

The matrix is all around us. I am The One. You can tell who else is real by if they wear tight clothing and/or trenchcoats.
Jessica: “…but math is fun…”
… I bet you loved Reader Rabbit as well, didn’t you.
Edutainment. The very thought of it sends shivers up my spine.
Might be because I had a mother who was a teacher so I never had a BREAK from school growing up.
Edutainment……
brrrrrrrrrr.
Except for Oregon Trail. That sorta rocked.
April 12th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Pander: Well, in the interest of ‘cool points’ I guess you can have ONE peek…
“thanks to Hulu – an evil plot to overthrow the earth by aliens.”
It’s a plug! I KNEW IT.
My boyfriend got Oregon Trail on his cell phone. I’m extremely jealous.
CosmicSpiral: I LIKE that theory! It’s so delightfully passive-aggressive! I just hope Stasia doesn’t figure it out…
April 13th, 2009 at 12:37 am
Jon: “… I bet you loved Reader Rabbit as well, didn’t you.”
Guilty.
But in terms of math, I was thinking more along the lines of calculus and physics equations dealing with special relativity and escape velocity and stuff. Ooh, the ones that deal with the velocity of waves in varying depths in the ocean are really fun. (There’s an inverse relationship between the number of essays I have to write in a given month and how much I miss being a physics major, you see.)
“Except for Oregon Trail. That sorta rocked.”
I never owned Oregon Trail. Amazon Trail and Yukon Trail, yes, but not that one. I’ve heard it’s the best, and that you can shoot members of your team for getting gangrene. You were only allowed to shoot targets in Yukon Trail, and only allowed to shoot things in the photographic sense in Amazon Trail. Caity would not have approved.
And to return to a much older topic:
“I’m pretty sure Canada isn’t a real country either.”
…we have our own species of geese…
“It’s a state of the United States instead. If you want proof, we secretly replaced their money with monopoly money.”
Our money actually has significantly better security features than American money. And isn’t the States getting colourful money sometime soon? (My favourite money is the Pound or the Euro, because the bills are different sizes depending on how much they’re worth. Plus one pound coins are really heavy and solid, which seems very right somehow. And Euro coins have so many different pretty pictures from all of the countries in the EU.)
“Besides, we think it’s cute when canadians call themselves a country.”
So long as we’re cute.
“I’m sure i’m going to get major hate for saying that. For some reason, Canadians are awful touchy”
It’s because we’re insecure. We know the USA could squish us with its pinky. (Even though we’re bigger. Nyah nyah?) And we’re afraid our culture is just a copy of yours. Except Quebec. (Though that’s a whole difficult, squirmy, slippery can of worms in and of itself, in terms of relations with the rest of the country.)
I hope you didn’t take any of my comments above as touchy. I typed all of it with a smile. I’m not particularly concerned, as I’m a dual citizen.

Jon Pander:
Based on your pattern of commenting, I’ve concluded you must have a Twitter.

Marzipan “Pander: Well, in the interest of ‘cool points’ I guess you can have ONE peek… ”
Lesson to the young’uns. Peer pressure works.
“It’s a plug! I KNEW IT.”
And that’s how we roll.
“My boyfriend got Oregon Trail on his cell phone. I’m extremely jealous.”
Great, now I’m jealous too.
Jessica: “Guilty.”
Cool points dropping steadily….
“But in terms of math, I was thinking more along the lines of calculus and physics equations dealing with special relativity and escape velocity and stuff.”
Yes, I hear that Steven Hawkings rocks the house at parties.
At least on Family Guy.
“Ooh, the ones that deal with the velocity of waves in varying depths in the ocean are really fun. (There’s an inverse relationship between the number of essays I have to write in a given month and how much I miss being a physics major, you see.)”
I knew there was a reason I went into law and not a math or physics field.
“I never owned Oregon Trail. Amazon Trail and Yukon Trail, yes, but not that one. I’ve heard it’s the best,”
Oregon Trail is, to Amazon Trail and Yukon Trail, what Raiders of the Lost Ark is to Temple of Doom and Quest for the Holy Grail.
‘and that you can shoot members of your team for getting gangrene.”
Which makes the game cool. I’d be happy to shoot a member of my team for getting a hangnail.
“You were only allowed to shoot targets in Yukon Trail,”
Meh.
“and only allowed to shoot things in the photographic sense in Amazon Trail.”
Its the ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ version of Edutainment, apparently.
“Caity would not have approved.”
No. No she wouldn’t.
““I’m pretty sure Canada isn’t a real country either.â€
we have our own species of geese…”
And your own version of bacon.
“Our money actually has significantly better security features than American money.”
To hockey fans, maybe
“And isn’t the States getting colourful money sometime soon?”
Nah we just made the pictures on our money bigger for nearsighted people, apparently.
Apparently we don’t find economics to be synonymous with a fashion show.
“Plus one pound coins are really heavy and solid, which seems very right somehow.”
Well it -is- called a ‘pound’…. it even sounds heavy.
I bet if you kept a few in your pocket you’d need to wear a belt to keep your pants from falling down.
“So long as we’re cute.”
You’re cute, ay.
“It’s because we’re insecure. We know the USA could squish us with its pinky.”
Don’t worry, as long as you keep supplying us with good tasting ham and moderately priced gambling, and people like Wililam Shatner or Pamela Anderson, we will let you live.
But if you send us one more Tom Green or Tom Arnold, we are so going to nuke you guys.
“(Even though we’re bigger. Nyah nyah?)”
It’s not the size that counts. It’s how you use it.
Except with me. With me it’s the size AND how I use it.
“And we’re afraid our culture is just a copy of yours. Except Quebec.”
Even that may be a copy to some degree…. we have Louisiana, you have Quebec. Better food there and nice architecture but that’s about it.
At least with our French wannabes, we make sure they don’t get too uppity
(as in Louisiana).
“(Though that’s a whole difficult, squirmy, slippery can of worms in and of itself, in terms of relations with the rest of the country.)”
Them uppity French wannabes, ay?
“I hope you didn’t take any of my comments above as touchy.”
I didn’t.
“I typed all of it with a smile.”
Yes, emoticons are our friends.
Lydia: “Based on your pattern of commenting, I’ve concluded you must have a Twitter.”
You’d think so, wouldnt you? I’d probably be a natural at it.
But I’ve never twittered.
I probably should – my daily or hourly thoughts would probably have an instant fan following.

“And that was not Jessica that spoke of the girl with the long tongue, that was me. Get your facts right, people. â€
Yeah, as if I wouldn’t know the name Eliza Dushku. I mean cmon, she was FAITH, people! Gorgeous psychopath.
She wasn’t a psycopath she just had way too much fun killing vampires and such…and randomly helping the mayor become a demon in the third season of Buffy.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:55 am
also those commercials are for HULU people…and they are completely true it emulsifies your brain…3 seasons of Buffy strait

The superbowl would be much better.
if the winning team.
would be allowed to live.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Haha, I come to check comments and all of a sudden I see ‘Caity would not approve.’ You guys are just trying to get me back here instead of editing my cousin’s…er…course credit claims…I think that’s what they are.
Jessica: ” I was thinking more along the lines of calculus”
buhuhuh, don’t make me flashback to my AP calc course…I think the only thing I remember off the top of my head was finding the derivatives of functions…which was kind of fun in a geeky way. Darn it, Jessica! You made me flashback! Granted, it did get me out of taking math courses in college…which many people hated me for hehehe
“Ooh, the ones that deal with the velocity of waves in varying depths in the ocean are really fun”
Now I’m flashing back to my Oceanography course and the difference between waves out in the ocean vs. waves that touch the bottom. This also reminds me of an analogy a friend of mine made about the latter. So now I’m thinking about a bunch of clowns stacked on a unicycle and then the bottom one suddenly stops pedaling……::snickers:: See what you did, Jessica? heh ^.~
“I never owned Oregon Trail”
That is very sad, for it was an awesome game both on floppy disc and on CD…and apparently phone now…
“and that you can shoot members of your team for getting gangrene.”
Haha! Dang! What version were *your* friends playing? I want to play that one. I did love the computer version (non floppy disc) where you got to go hunting and shoot deer and bison though…I went hunting a lot…there would be piles of deer corpses and bison on the screen, even though I couldn’t carry it all back. Granted, I would probably never go hunting in real life–just target shooting for me–but it was fun in the game.
““Caity would not have approved.â€
No. No she wouldn’t.”
No, no I would not, indeed.
“And Euro coins have so many different pretty pictures from all of the countries in the EU.)”
Hehe, I still have three coins from when I went to Italy ^.^
Pander: “Great, now I’m jealous too.”
Me too, actually.
“Cool points dropping steadily….”
Aww come on, Pander, math and physics will be useful in the new world order.
“I knew there was a reason I went into law and not a math or physics field.”
DItto, only replace law with creative writing.
“You’d think so, wouldnt you? I’d probably be a natural at it.
But I’ve never twittered.
I probably should – my daily or hourly thoughts would probably have an instant fan following.”
Haha, I’d follow you…in the twitter sense. I actually ended up getting one myself the other night…mainly because I was putting off going to sleep. It seemed like a good idea at the time…around 3am haha.

@ Jon Pander
“I probably should – my daily or hourly thoughts would probably have an instant fan following.”
Most likely, the majority being Marry Me readers, a following of (presumably) girls.
You should get a Twitter.

TSHIRT IDEA: ‘I’m taking Lesbian 101′

Mandi: “She wasn’t a psycopath she just had way too much fun killing vampires and such…and randomly helping the mayor become a demon in the third season of Buffy.”
Yes, doesn’t sound psychopathic at all. I shouldn’t have said anything like that. My error.
She was sociopathic instead, since in the Buffyverse, those things are real.
Mandi: “also those commercials are for HULU people…and they are completely true it emulsifies your brain…3 seasons of Buffy strait”
Getting my melon baller out again.
It’s dual purpose, people!
Ro: “The superbowl would be much better.

Say that in haiku form.
Never mind, I’ll do it.
The superbowl would
Be better if winning teams
were allowed to live.
Why use the haiku?
Everything’s better with them
Posts, sex… Everything!
Caity: “Now I’m flashing back to my Oceanography course and the difference between waves out in the ocean vs. waves that touch the bottom.”
Could you flash back to something erotic instead? Think of the people on the forum’s welfare huh?
“So now I’m thinking about a bunch of clowns stacked on a unicycle and then the bottom one suddenly stops pedaling”
You have a very odd definition of ‘erotic’… but whatever floats your boat.
It’s because of the big shoes, isnt it.
“Haha! Dang! What version were *your* friends playing?”
I was playing the one on floppy disk on the C64 and the floppy ones for the IBM.
And before you wonder how old I was, I was 5. My parently didn’t trust me with an IBM but I don’t care, the C64 was cool even during the late 80’s. I still have it up and running.
“there would be piles of deer corpses and bison on the screen”
Any good children’s game should have lots of dead animal carcasses.
Kill bambi for bonus points.
““Caity would not have approved.â€
No. No she wouldn’t.â€
No, no I would not, indeed.”
Told ya she wouldn’t.
“Aww come on, Pander, math and physics will be useful in the new world order.”
But humans will not have to do it in the new world order.

Or we can have some backup people locked in a dungeon somewhere who we’d let out every so often if we have any non-computer-answerable math/physics problems.
Unless they look like Danica McKellar – well known hot mathematician also known for playing Winnie on The Wonder Years during her teen years.

Totally Rowr-worthy. Now if SHE was included with the Nintendo DS, I’d say that Nintendo makes math fun.
“Haha, I’d follow you…in the twitter sense. I actually ended up getting one myself the other night…mainly because I was putting off going to sleep. It seemed like a good idea at the time…around 3am haha.”
But can the world actually handle me being even more popular than I already am?
Lydia: “Most likely, the majority being Marry Me readers, a following of (presumably) girls.”
Your attempts to sway me are working.
Jenn: “”That Brain Game is Fun! o____o;;”
If I told my little cousin that I bought them a video game, and it was a bunch of math addition and subtraction questions, they’d probably shank me.
Math is not fun, unless it’s taught to me by Danica McKellar in a bikini, like I said before. When’s Nintendo coming out with THAT huh? HUH?!

Guy looks rather evil when sickly.
Hard to picture Parker fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, OTOH, I can totally see her using those cheesy lines: in the name of the moon, I will punish you!
