        I had never heard of Governor/Commissioner/Administrator/Ambassador Paul McNutt before I googled him tonight, but now I want to know more. Had FDR not decided to run for a third term, he could have been a presidential contender; his IU roommate was FDR’s opponent in that election.

      I think Walky should take a vacation in Britain over the winter break. His itinerary should include Scongahorpe, Didling, Nob End, Broad Bottom, and Cock End.

      He could finish up with a trip on the continent, visiting the German town of Wank, and the Austrian town of Fucking.

        Dunno how that happened, but it’s Scongahorpe. The name is classic, er, clbuttic, in internet filtering tropes.

        In the US, we have Norfolk, VA, not a problem in text but a guaranteed Walky-mouth-roof-buster when pronounced.

          I stopped using the c-word 15 years ago, on the basis that it is an inherently sexist derogation for which no male analog exists. I might call Billie an alpha bongo, but I will never call her a conga.

            Well, I’m guess I’m glad that the censored word doesn’t come up often enough here for the replacement to be common knowledge. (Though I think I remember a fairly recent, probably deleted comment, that made use of it, so perhaps it’s a more recent filter? Or perhaps it was all a dream.)

            Reminds me of how you can’t say “grape” or “skill” on Neopets.

                It’s because you can’t say “kill.” The censors made it real hard the time I had to do a crisis suicide check on Neopets.com.

              Once upon a time in RuneScape the word “fletching” was censored in the chat, for a very brief period of time, because while it could be considered a workaround for saying “felching,” I GUESS, it also happens to be the name of a skill in the game.

              “So what are you guys doing?”
              “*********.”
              “*********.”
              “*********.”
              “… crafting bows and arrows.”

      Opposites don’t attract though. People like people who are similar to themselves that are different in some ways that allow them to complement each other but not all ways. People don’t actually like people that have nothing in common with them, no overlap in interests, literally no similarities to themselves and that are difficult to get along with in every possible way.

        I didn’t mean absolute opposites. You’re straw manning.

        I’m just saying what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.

        I am fully aware and am troubled by of the racial implications of comparing Lucy to Dorothy and Amber, but it’s becoming increasingly clear Walky, for all his exuberant geekiness, likes complimenting divergent personalities.

          “what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.”

          Shes attractive, she, at best, has a similar sense of humor to Walky and at worst understands why Walky would find McNutt amusing, shes helpful and considerate to her friends, tries to see the best in people and doesn’t appear to have much in the way of baggage (in comparison to others) which is what Walky needs right now given everything thats going on

          “likes complimenting divergent personalities”

          Maybe, hes very young and has very little experience of girls or relationships so its too early to tell whether thats his thing or it just happened to be a matter of timing (especially in Ambers case)

No coordination, no planning, he and I show up to find that we’d made near-identical characters. Same hair, same skin color, same facial features, we didn’t even make ones that looked like us or anything.

    I know the feeling all too well Walky. I had to resist the urge to not cackle at the this set of lines from Kevin Kwan’s “Rich People Problems” (third in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy)

    The bishop adjusted his collar, looking slightly uncomfortable. “Well, Victoria, we really can’t force your mother to be baptized, but perhaps we can pray that she will allow Jesus Christ into her heart. We have to let Jesus come into her softly, gently…”
