        What with all the cameos of out buddies from the other world, I’m going to make a crazy prediction and say someone from SP! is going to actually play a role eventually (probably not going to happen, but if it does, I CALLED IT!).

      I’m sure she means she can lift three cheerleaders above her head, so that’s roughly equivalent to one regular person.

    Given that this is a ‘verse drawing from all sorts of elements of the walkyverse, I’m betting all guesses are right (or if not, that these are all known characters)

      I have that feeling as well, or at least she tries to sneak in through the window and fails at it. Or shes still super ninja and whiel Ruth and Billie are fighting she come in and wonders why they’re fighting.

    Almost didn’t see Amber appropriately hiding in the background though. Plus at least one other person behind Mary. Agatha, Rachel, and ROZ of all people kinda steal the show for background cameos.

    If Roz is a freshman (at least) in this world, how old does that make Robin? Is she graduated already? It would be weird if Robin were in this at all and had seniority over everyone else in the cast.

    Is it just me, or is Mary dressing a little more slutty than she did in the Walkyverse? It would be a normal wardrobe for any other character, but for a Puritan like her it’s freakin’ lingerie. Not to mention the old Mary would have shown up an hour early to the meeting just to suck up to authority. So something tells me this is a different version than the one we’re used to seeing.

    Hopefully this one won’t be such a bongo.

    • Wackd

      September 28, 2010 at 4:54 pm | #

      The stomach showing is probably just the result of her shirt being pulled up high. The T-shirt could be explained as it still being the first week of September…a little warm for the attire we’re used to seeing her in.

      As for the showing up late thing, she could’ve just forgot the time. As someone else mentioned, Mary was a massive hypocrite. I can see her giving others shit about showing up late/not showing up at all, but (from my perspective at least) her being late/absent isn’t something she’d consider a big deal.

      Of course, this isn’t Walkyverse!Mary, this is Dumbiverse!Mary, so it probably doesn’t matter.

    I’m certain I’ve seen the woman directly behind Joyce somewhere before, but it escapes me.

    And I get no brownie points for spotting Roz, Agatha and Amber in the background.

    Also, Willis, I’ve noticed a flaw in your random avatar generator. The Walky one is hard to distinguish at-a-glance from your own.

    Finally, Ruth wasn’t kidding when she said mandatory was she?

    Girl behind Joyce looked like Rachel (aka Joe’s internet girlfriend; that checkout girl who helped build Ultra Car) but after going back and looking at her in the Walkyverse! I feel I am wrong unless he’s made some changes to her character.

    In retrospective, it is easy to imagine Ruth seeing that D.U.I. on the file and having all the anger rush back to her like a punch to the gut…and then Billie had to go on and say “I could destroy you”! You certainly could, Billie, just not in the way you think! Now I can understand that manic grin in Ruth’s face so much better. The whole thing must have been rather therapeutic for her. I’ll bet she had not felt this alive in ages :/
