Carol Jackson45 said:What’s your take on Mary? Is it okay for her to act like that toward Peter? It feels a bit hypocritical to me.

Well, I was absolutely thinking of them—I just couldn't land on the right name in the moment... haven't moved on to the guys yet... 😁

Daniel Bailey7 said:Yeah, obviously I meant them, I just couldn't think of the right name... haven't moved on to the guys yet. 😁

It’s not the same thing. Peter didn't want to grow up, while Mary was basically just an adult fairy who couldn't act her age. 😬

Back on topic. Here are the top 3 things that pissed me off last week:
First round of exam rescheduling is hitting.
Second round of exam rescheduling. Great.
Third round of finals rescheduling. Great.

Whatever, man. It's all just deep thoughts anyway. 😠

Carol Jackson45 said:My top 3 creatures you definitely shouldn't date:
1. vampires
2. gremlins
3. Peterpanovs

hmm...

my top 3 Star Trek species you probably want to avoid dating:

1. Klingons
2. Vulcans
3. Ferengi

btw what would even define a human gremlin? someone who looks like a wreck, hits every party in town, never showers, and lives on midnight snacks?😬sounds more like a punk rocker when you put it that way...

electro cute said:btw what would the traits of a human gremlin be? ugly as sin, always hitting the clubs, never showers, and only eats after midnight? 😬 sounds like a punk rocker when you put it that way...

Same here 😬 You only see them at night, usually soaked in beer (which counts as both water and food anyway) 😁

Here’s one for the DMV crowd. My top 5 favorite Asterix books based on pure vibes:

0. The Tricky Village

Objectively the worst of the bunch, including most others, but it gets third place because it was the first one I ever read. Specific memories: when they roll into town and bow to each other, and that time they dug a trench right through the middle of the village

1. Asterix in Switzerland

The whole thing about measuring time in "cuckoo" sounds, plus Swiss banks, cheese, and their obsession with being clean and staying out of politics... man 😍

2. Asterix in the United Kingdom

I mean, who could forget those lovely Englishmen who pause a battle just to go grab some warm water at five o'clock? Or the sheer treachery of mint sauce?

3. Asterix and Cleopatra

My first thought with this one is the house built by the best Egyptian contractor 🤣, then the Sphinx losing its nose (they buried it in the sand) 😍, happy crocodiles, the Egyptian food taster... and Cleopatra's nose

4. Asterix the Legionnaire

An Englishman legionnaire who actually enjoys military rations 😍
And let's not forget those omnipresent pirates 😍

5. Asterix and the Normans

Those foolish Normans trying to learn how to feel fear just so they can finally take flight

Mr. Wrong said:The absolute peak moment from last night's party—the exact second I realized I'm officially getting old:

1. some guy walks in and immediately goes, "Wait, who else here actually listens to the Ramones?!" 😳

Look, I usually can't stand cops, but honestly... 🙏 🙏 🙏 🤣

Adam Moore said:Top 3 Star Trek species you definitely don't want to cross paths with:

2. Vulcans

😲 Man, I'd much rather deal with a cat that doesn't have PMS (or better yet, one that doesn't go through it every seven years?!)! Imagine those pointy ears! They probably know some wild Vulcan tantric tricks! And hey, maybe some of them could just ditch the logic and act like animals for once, haha

Michael Newman50: man, these guys (band name) are freaking incredible. I get literal chills every time I listen to them. Let’s hit up their show in Chicago next month—it's gonna be an absolute blast!

vulkanka (while playing chess): pleasure is just a fleeting sensation, so it's irrelevant. Reaching a state of total numbness is the ultimate goal for any follower of our way.

Michael Newman50 (looking dejected): So you don't want to go to the concert... wow... (after a few minutes, starts getting affectionate) You know what we haven't done in a while? mmmm, you have such cute ears (whispering into her ear).

vulkanka: stop it. sexual intercourse exists solely for procreation, not for seeking gratification.

Michael Newman50 leaves, frustrated, relieves himself by rubbing the cover of the Strokes' *Is This It*, then comes back with an axe and takes out vulkanka. the end 😬

Here’s my little list of things that low-key terrified me today:

1. There isn't a single evil bat on the True Black Metal hat!!!!! If they don't fix this, the whole world might just collapse on us!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

The absolute #1 reason why I wasn't there🙂 yesterday's news:

1. A close friend of mine was in Nashville watching Goran Tanevski perform "Stoj" with a Mizara😲—and obviously, it was 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏. To top it off, they ended up grabbing drinks at his pub right after the show. 😍

Why on earth I wasn't there:🙂

😢

Adam Moore said:Here is my list of things that terrified me today:

1. There isn't a single wicked bat on the True Black Metal forum! If they don't show up soon, the whole site might just collapse on our heads! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

He is actually there, but he's been banned. Now he's just posting with clones.😬

Why was he banned? Was it because he went overboard with the emojis?

Adam Moore said:Was he banned just for overusing those smiley faces?

He got into an argument about politics... I can't recall the specifics.😁

I believe his ban expires today.🙏

The absolute #1 thread in the music subforum:
1. Adam Moore

Adam Moore said:The anti-fan gets burned out, collapses on some "is this it" stroke-inducing cover, then comes back swinging an axe and takes out the volcano. The end. 😬

The best Asterix story ever is Asterix Legionnaire. Honestly, the only other time I’ve seen that level of pure comedic genius was in Alan Ford, specifically during the Die Rich Uncle episode.

Here are my top five all-time favorite comic moments—the ones where I wasn't just laughing, but actually crying for ten minutes straight because they were so ridiculous:

1. Gaston, when he's tearing the entire office apart looking for some duct tape, not realizing it's stuck right to his own leg. I actually forgot about this one for years, then stumbled upon it again and ended up sobbing with laughter, pounding my fist against the mattress at Hide-and-Seeker's face in that final panel.

2. Alan Ford, that opening scene in the Golf episode with the knife sharpener and the butcher.

3. Gaston, pulling up under a scaffold in his car. "Sorry I scuffed your ride a little. Name's Gaston..."

4. Hogar, when a knight in full armor gets blasted by a ram mid-field and calmly mentions he’s going to have to replace his entire rear axle.

5. Garfield, there's this one gag with three flower pots on a windowsill, but man, I can't track down which issue it was in anymore...

Bonus: Alan Ford, Die Rich Uncle, specifically the part where the lawyer is in court dealing with Bob Rock. And honestly, that bit about the ugly women at the party in that same issue is pretty close to the top too.

stormyviper11 said:Bonus: In Alan Ford, specifically that scene where the lawyer deals with the Die Rich Uncle situation during Bob Rock's trial. And honestly, that bit about the unattractive women at the party in that same issue isn't far off either.

That specific sequence really owes its existence to the incredible wit and sheer comedic genius of the late Brixy... 🙏

stormyviper11 said:The best Asterix story ever has to be Asterix Legionnaire. That level of genius only exists in Alan Ford, specifically in the Die Rich Uncle episode.

Still Switzerland. "Half an hour later..." 😍

I really need to go back and reread all those old Alan Ford runs. Honestly, my biggest laughs from comics were always from Maximus. Marcelo, the poet 😍

Muuuu, a cow mooing in the barn
njiiiiii, a horse neighing in the barn

🙏

Back on topic. My top 4 favorite Huljica moments (not counting the bear ones)

1. seeing the little feet tapping 😍


2. (like Lucy van Pelt in American comics) 😍


3. (pretty sure I can see myself in this one)

So my ex basically swiped a bunch of my Alan Ford comics 🙂 I let him borrow them—they were basically sitting in his place for ages—but then we broke up, and when he finally handed them back, a good chunk was just... gone. He "found" a few and gave those back, but I’m positive he pocketed at least ten of them 🙂 🙂

Those Huljicas 😍
