Mou-sta-chi-o was quiet and aloof ... Got wound too tight, we might have made a goof! Now Doctor Lee is stuck up on the roof ... Indulge my whims! I eat her limbs!
Why do we hire folks with a deadly skill? Why don't we screen out those who like to kill? Well if we did, not one post could we fill! It's looking grim! She'll eat our limbs!
I can imagine a scenario where Tip gets runs in his hose, the store is out of leave-in conditioner, his bad-hair-day hat blows off in the parking lot, Unity (through no fault of her own mind) gets Zombie Juices on his favorite skirt and Sweetheart shed all over his office chair (and hence all his dry-clean only apparel).
So this story arc starts with Tip dating Marcie. Tip actually seems happy when Chris gets jealous. Now we've got a loose nuke (literally), which would seem to be right up the DoI's alley. . . .
Who wants to bet that this storyline ends with Chris saving the day, discovering that he's fine as he is and doesn't need to be like Tip, and getting Marcie back?
Corgi (corgi) says:
Have you lot seen Nick's LiveJournal? That's sounding awfully defensive/jealous over there.
Cuss not! Don't swear! Watch it, take care! Kindly watch your language ... Cuss word censored, No offense word Plugged into my language!
I can be quite gentleman-ly, Cultured, if I wish ... If I try, I'll show that I Can be polite as fish!
I'm as nice as any other mulder-foxy guy! I'll send an IM to those barstools down the hall ... Tough to get a call through with this shorted-amp WiFi; If you don't like it, you can take a flying fly!
>>What's with everyone using the "geld my llama" allusion?
Is everyone using it? Or is it just me?
I'm trying to get "geld the llama" into popular parlance. It's a task I was shouldered with this Christmas. As to what it actually means... Well, I figure first I need to get people saying it and then it will decide its own meaning.
>>Before this goes too much farther, you guys should look up the definition of the word "geld".
Funny... since I started this I've got a lot of people telling me "geld means to castrate" as though I might not know that.
Which confuses me because if geld meant anything else, I can't imagine the aphorism being as catchy as it is. That really spays my poodle! Nueters my donkey, Eunochs my capon, etc. etc.
Either that, or absurdly easy, depending on your criteria for success.
woozy (woozy) says:
Perhaps I should have written "Capons my rooster", and .... why didn't I write "Capons my rooster"?
Rob (rrreed) says:
@woozy—that really whip's the llama's ass.

Last week, went to someplace where They did ... things they do out there. Then I met some people, Told them stuff ... just enough.
I just got promoted, but I must not reveal for what! I filed paperwork for stuff to buy, Then later, I ...
Went to a spot, Did quite a lot, Just like before, Did it some more; I filled out a form, It's all in a normal day ...
Sorry, All the information in my note just got REDACTED, It's classified, yeah! All the words with meaning in the message have been extracted! I can't confide, yeah, Where I go, what I know, what I do, and to who, What I say, anyway, you know they'd Take it and they'd break it 'til the information's been subtracted! (That's OK ...)
Well, since you mentioned it ... (TUNE: "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad", Meat Loaf)
Doctor Lee, you look so fine ... But there's no way we can get it on! I'll just go crazy if I keep that thought ... I gotta try and block it now!
Doctor, I wish you were mine ... I wish that you could stay with me until the dawn! You make me crazy 'cause you look so hot... And 'cause you're in my cockpit now!
I've tried forgetting you, Virginia Lee! I've tried ignoring all your lovely charms ... I've dreamed of holding you so close to me ... But there's no way, to my dismay, When I got ailerons instead of arms!
I hope you can see, It's really buggin' me!
Got no lips, got no hands, And I also miss a couple vital glands! Well, I wish I could ... (wish I could) "Cause zero for three ain't good!
Er, no offense, but wouldn't that be "old fogey music" to someone Nick's age? He wouldn't have been born for quite a while after that was recorded (1977); his parents would have been listening to it.
Then again, maybe that's why he chose it; maybe he thinks of Dr. Lee as old or as a parental figure?
M. Alan Thomas II (crazydreamer) says:
Perhaps Meatloaf is forever? But then, that wouldn't explain the food poisoning I got last week. . . .
Andrew Kunz (ampersand888) says:
He's a child of the 90's. What else would you expect?
Maybe that ellipsis from the Good Doctor in the last panel is not a lack of surity in the music-- Maybe it is questioning how Nick just managed to say Hell uncensored.
This possible loophole reminds me of the Simpsons, when Bart learned that he could get away with calling someone a 'bastard' if, in fact, they were one (under the original definition).
Michael Brewer (wusemajor) says:
She's pretty good at Guitar Hero.
Nick Lardas (voyager) says:
The wierd irony is, apparently the Kiowa ready crews spend most of their time playing Rock Band, so that really is what the helicopter crews do when they're standing around their choppers waiting for the other shoe to drop...

And I would do anything for love A mutant lion or werewolf pack I would do anything for love But I'll never sleep with you and that's a fact
And I'll never feel the way you feel for me right now Oh no, no way And I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do you

It's so wonderful to see her so relaxed.

Them salsa bugles will definitely help you chili out.
John Breckenridge (jbrecken) says:
With a name like Moishe, it sounds like Nick's family is Jewish. I hope they're not the orthodox types who feel that a proper burial needs an intact body.
Brian Rogers (billionsix) says:
According to Nick's Livejournal, he's pretty orthodox, actually.
Well I saw the things chewin' through the big blast doors They had tiny robot scowls on their tiny robot jaws I commenced to freakin' and I said "Wilkin! Whydja send the tungsten eater robots in?"
They were the angry hungry tungsten eater robots! Angry hungry tungsten eater robots! Angry hungry tungsten eater robots! Why do we even have these?
Well they ate through the doors and their jaws went -click- I said "Hey there tungsten eaters, don't eat Nick!" I heard them say through the smoking cloud "Carbon unit stand aside or be devoured"
They were the angry hungry tungsten eater robots! Angry hungry tungsten eater robots! Angry hungry tungsten eater robots! What idiot built these?
I said "Hey tungsten eaters, time to demob!" They said "Negative. Eating angry hungry tungsten's our job But that chopper right there is the angriest thing we've seen He's an angry hungry tungsten robot eating machine!
He's an angry hungry tungsten robot eater! He's an angry hungry tungsten robot eater! He's an angry hungry tungsten robot eater! Eeek! We're CRACKERS AND CHEESE!"
OK, I think I got another of Shaenon's little Easter Eggs. I was just catching up on Nick's LiveJournal, and he mentioned "Shelby", the bald guy in Maintenance. Everyone else was calling him "Mr. Silvers".
Shelby Silvers = Shel Silverstein? Check it out ...
Sam Setter (eraser820) says:
Well, V22 is a turboprop. So, it can burn just about anything that doesn't present a detonation danger (such as gasoline or nitro-methanol). So if you want kosher fuel, make Biodiesel! To insure its kosher-ness obtaining all veg oil to make it either unused, or arrange a collection deal with all area restaurants that serve only kosher foods.
