          I actually don’t get duck penises. They are birds. What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned cloaca? The only thing more ridiculous with regard to emancipation is the female hyena penis. Giving birth through that is really stretching it.

            What’s even weirder? Female duck’s vaginas corkscrew (generally) in the opposite direction, and “dead ends” to prevent pregnancy from rape.

            ignoring the “stretching it” comment… femal duck vaginas also corkscrew, in the opposite direction, and have false bladders and dead ends.

              That’s because about 1/4 of duck sex is forced. Basically, male and female ducks have an evolutionary arms race going on.

              “WHAT’S THAT?! YOUR VAGINA CORKSCREWS TO PREVENT FORCED ENTRY?! WELL, NOW MY PENIS CORKSCREWS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, TO GAIN ENTRY!” and so on. It’s gotten to the point where the duck penis can be around as large as the duck itself, if not larger.

              Saying a duck vagina corkscrews in the opposite direction of a duck penis exhibits a poor grasp of geometry. A right-winding spiral from the other side is still right-winded.

      No need to imagine it. It happened in one of the recent Disney shorts. Donald and Mickey are at a beach and come across Goofy who’s running a food hut. Goofy has a rule: No shirt, no pants, no shoes, no service. Donald and Mickey fight over clothes and Donald ends up with Mickey’s clothes. Mickey is naked (and trying to hide himself from passing people) thru most of the toon…till they fight again and it’s Donald who’s naked causing Daisy to exclaim “Donald! You’re naked!” *L*

      The short ends with Goofy scratching his crotch (note: The only thing he’s wearing is an apron). *shudders*

            But I used my graphics program to conclusively determine that Sal’s skin tone on both of her boobs uses exactly the same RGB and HSV color codes, so I don’t see how anyone could say that one is perkier than the other!

            So then I did a comprehensive survey of the color codes of all the boobs in DoA, and statistical analysis proves that Sal’s RGB color values are closer to Dina’s, who has the perkiest breasts, than to Billie’s, who has the roundest, most supple breasts, so therefore Sal’s boobs must both be more perky than round and supple!

            It is not in any way possible that I could be completely missing the point and putting entirely too much effort into analyzing something totally irrelevant!

      I’m wondering what everyone else’s dorms were like. When I was in the dorms, we all went into the individual shower stall and removed clothing in there, put it outside of the shower and then turned the water on. Unpleasant. Some people would start up the shower and be in a towel, and then step in and remove the towel at the same time.

      I never saw another female topless while in the dorms, and I made damned sure no one saw me topless.

      Why underwear at all? (Or gloves, for that matter?)

      If there are covers over you and a sheet under you, any clothing is just a restrictive thing to get pushed/twisted every time you move and wake you up by applying uncomfortable pressure.

      (Plus the semi-important thing about letting your skin breathe rather than having cloth wrapped snugly around it all the time.)

      If one is not warm enough, then get a thicker (or second) cover/duvet/blanket. Clothes add nothing unless one has a pathological fear of being unclothed, in which case showers are presumably likewise done while wearing a swimsuit which likewise detracts from enjoyability and the main role of the activity (in this instance, washing all parts of yourself).

        Maybe I’m just weird, but I just don’t feel right unless I have underwear on. I’m fine in the shower and… other occasions (I am a married woman after all), but unless the situation requires otherwise, I’m simply more comfortable in clothes. I don’t even like going around the house in just underwear.

            Girls’ vaginas secrete mucus constantly. It has a changing pH depending on the part of the cycle the woman is on, and it can cause [small] holes in fabric over a long enough period of time.

              And by constant, I don’t mean it’s a never-ending stream. It’s a pretty minimal amount. This is a way for it to regulate its pH balance.

                The amount actually varies, in some women it varies a LOT, depending on where they are in their cycle. There is typically a lot more of it when a woman is fertile, and it’s of a different consistency than at other times in her cycle. It changes to be sperm-friendly to encourage pregnancy.

        I wear a T-shirt and flannel PJ bottoms, unless it’s really hot/cold. Pajamas don’t get drafts like covers do, they don’t get stolen or slide off the bed and make me wake up to figure out where the hell they went, and they mean that when I get up in the middle of the noon to take a leak, I don’t have to choose between taking time to get dressed or stumbling across the living room (past the big plate-glass front window) with my tackle hanging out. And also I keep the thermostat set to 56°F, so in the winter it’s nice to have something on already when I get up.

        And it means that if Joyce were to come in to wake me up before noon, I wouldn’t be flashing everyone else in the room while strangling her.

        (Dunno who else is there, but there’s apparently someone. I’m guessing at least Billie. Could be really awkward if Walky came over to apologize…)

          I dunno, except when I’m camping I can’t stand to wear long sleeves of any kind while sleeping. The feel of fabric surrounding my limbs (as opposed to draped uniformly over me) is really distracting. Even t-shirts can be too uncomfortable. Though you’re right, it makes getting up in winter a pain…

            Ironically, when camping, I just sleep in (fresh, dry) boxers. My sleeping bag is typically way warmer than required, and zips and cinches closed, which nullifies most of my other complaints, and I don’t want the usually-damp clothes I was wearing during the day in the bag with me. I only bother with the boxers because sleeping bags are a pain in the butt to wash.

    Donald wears a top and no pants.
    Goofy is a dog that wears clothes and drives a car and he owns:
    Pluto, who is a dog?
    Popeye and Olive Oyl were never married which is no biggie now, but in the 40s was a bit shocking -so where did Sweetpea come from?
    Donald Duck has his 3 nephews and his Uncle Scrooge. Where are all the female ducks? Gottawonder about him and Daisy.

      1. Disney did a short recently about the pants/shirt thing. Hilarity ensues with a shirt-pants-shoes policy is enforced at a burger joint.
      2. It came up somewhere that the distinction between people-dogs and pet-dogs was the ability to speak.
      3. Sweetpea is a foundling.
      4. Donald’s sister explained in a note that the nephews had to live with him, after there father was injured by a firecracker “accidentally” going off under his chair. Donald and his sister are the children of: Uncle Scrooge’s older of two younger sisters (the one with the temper) and “Grandma” Duck’s son (the one with the temper).
      5. Daisy is not a relation. (At least, not close enough to end up on the extensive family tree.)
      6. The lack of marriage is to allow for rivals of affection, without crossing the adultery line.

      Y’know, a lot of that “weirdness” can be answered by Google within a few minutes. Where Swee’Pea came from and who the parents of Hewey, Dewey, and Louie are… are not exactly mysteries.

      Nah, Disney’s easy. Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pete, Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar. all fill a “people” niche in their world, being fully anthropomorphic and leading people lives. Pluto, Minnie’s cat Figaro, they fill “animal” niches. There’s a clear distinction between full anthro- and non-anthro-. (Mind you, you get characters like Chip ‘n Dale to blur the lines, but as a rule…)

      It’s Warner Brothers that gets weird. Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, they all behave as people, but fill animal niches (being hunted, flying south, chasing birds and extremely fast Mexican mice). (Except Porky, who lives in a house and has a job). So when a less anthro- animal comes along (which happens on occasion), you have to think “What the hell is wrong with that guy?”

        You seriously are telling me that as a kid you’ve never done it? The whole ‘hands in front of your face but fingers spread and eyes peeking through the lashes so you can see but make people think you weren’t able to’ thing isn’t the first thing you see when you look at that?

        Geeze I thought everyone did it. And I’m sorry but the way Willis very specifically showed her eyes between fingers in the third panel and then never closed the fingers in the 4th panel tells me that the finger spread was deliberate. xD

          In the third panel, Joyce has her hand over her eyes.  There is her eyebrow; her left index finger, and then a straight line which is supposed to be her tightly closed eye (the line is the eyelash), then the rest of Joyce’s hand partially covering her nose and mouth.

    It would appear that Joyce’s eyes hurt more currently than her throat. That should provide Sal with an easier defense vector for future wake-up calls.

    On the other hand, she’d seem to have either technique available at the drop of a hat.

      Her eyes are so offended that she doesn’t notice that Sal also broke her arm. But remember that Joyce wasn’t allowed to ride her bike around the block until recently. And she was the most socialized of her home school group.

      I had an ex-girlfriend who would sometimes wake up to find that while she was asleep she had stuck her fingers up her butt. Being grossed out at this, she began handcuffing her left hand when she went to bed. I suppose Sal may have decided to wear gloves for similar reasons.
