        Creepier than threesome fetish play with your twin sister?
        Well, wait, we’re talking about humans. Of COURSE you’ve heard of creepier.

        Still, gotta wonder if Willis has already doodled the act.

    In years to come, chase scenes will develop into a full-on kink for Amber. Her spouse will discover piles of Tom and Jerry and Keystone Kops DVDs hidden in the bedroom.

    It will be confusing but explain a few things, like why she has a Mad Max Fury Road poster taped above the bed, and while she likes to have “Meep meep” whispered in her ear during.

          So typical sexually charged attire would be Amber wearing a tiger costume and Walky a red t-shirt with black stripes, black pants, and white sneakers.

      The Keystone Kops were basically the apertif of one- and two-reelers they were in; never the main charaters. They basically showed up for the last 1 to 2 minutes.

      Now if you want a chase scene, there’s plenty of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd to go around.

    What ever happened to bygones?

    • Doctor_Who

      January 27, 2020 at 12:05 am | #

      The problem with letting bygones be bygones is that they’re still bygones. You have just as many bygones as you started with, and haven’t actually accomplished anything.

        I just looked up the definition of bygone, because I never knew in the sense if that phrase, and I don’t think a living person can be a bygone. Bygone means “belonging to an earlier age,” so by definition, it cannot include living people, as they belong here, in the current age. Of course, people frequently (and without awareness) use this as a rhetorical device to demean something they disagree with (I had a roommate say, “That’s so 20th century…” But it was about something taking place in the 21st century, so by definition, was not 20th century). I’m sick of rhetorical manipulation like this.

        After looking into the phrase though, I don’t think “bygone” was actually meant to be about people. It’s about events. It’s saying “this event happened in the past, let’s let it go and be in the present.” But it has morphed to where people think of the word as being about people instead of events.

          I think you are misunderstanding bygones as referring to people. As far as I can tell it is usually meant to refer to something a person has done in the past, therefore an event.

          I would also argue that an earlier age may not necessarily refer to an early societal as as defined by historians, but simply an earlier point in time, when people (or group dynamics, etc) were in a different place in their life,sometimes physically, but usually emotionally.

          I conclude that the phrase “let bygones be bygones” is a valid phrase referring to a event that happened in a person’s past. In this case, Amber stabbing Sal’s hand when they were much younger.
          And that at this point in society you can just say bygones with the implication that you intend the whole phrase “let bygones be bygones”.

          … I have never heard anyone use ‘bygones’ to mean ‘people’. It’s always been about things happening in the past.

          Hell, I’ve hardly ever seen it in a context where ‘people’ works as a context, since it’s almost always two people talking about setting aside some beef between themselves.

            I mean, you can determine the meaning pretty easily just by looking at the word.

            By gone. As in, “times gone by”. Similar concept, same roots. It refers to events or actions in the past. Hence, “let bygones be bygones” means “let things gone by be things that’ve gone by”, or “let the past be the past”.

            I’m not really following this conversation nesting well but, yeah, I can at least say that applying the idiom to people is just.. hard to process.

      Given that discussion of racking up mistakes and never thinking about them again, I suspect there’s also an element of ‘there’s no way these two, who have both entered and ended emotionally significant relationships in the time between school starting and midterms, stay together permanently, and the sooner they get this out of their systems and break up the sooner I can go to coldly civil with Amber.’ (Maybe not full COLD, cold, but like, windbreaker levels of cool.)

    Walky’s being frustrating, but if i found out a gal stabbed one of my brothers or sisters, even under possibly justifiable circumstances, I’d probably need more than like at most a week to digest that information, especially if you also have the Asher revelation so recently, and it bringing things back around to issues with mom that Walky’s already flirting with having to address due to remembering that she indeed favored him and colorism displayed by both parents.

    All that shit rattling in his brain, I can understand the complicated emotions, especially in a guy who isn’t keen on handling even relatively simple emotions. Sal and Walky didn’t exactly get much in the way of preparation for that from the parents.

    I disagree with Sal. Every mistake you make will follow you. Those bottles of alcohol? A damaged liver and a car crash that lacked INTEGRITY. That orgy? Three STDs and a pregnancy. That fight in a bar? A stab and some broken bones. A car race? Many casualties? Dark Souls 3? Hours without resting and too much frustration. A Homestuck post defending Vriska? Been there, done that.

    Enjoy your life, but be aware that your actions not only hurt you. You affect other people’s lives even when that isn’t your intention.

    I still feel like the level of grudge against amber is uncalled for. At the very least, her reaction back then was, if not justified, at least understandable. Can Walky, at least to some level understand that seeing your own life and you’ friend’s life getting threatened can lead you to some stupid reaction?

    “Cram” is such a great word. We already had an instance of it as a sound effect during Walky’s previous encounter with free pizza. It’d be entertaining indeed if Sal’s threat comes true and the sound of the sex act was the same as the pizza act.

    Also, imagine strolling by this scene, uninvolved in the goings-on, and that’s the only part of the conversation that cuts thru the clutter. I would be laughing to myself all day.

    Also, Walky, haven’t we established that it was your parents’ decision to send them away? And even if it weren’t, Amber had nothing to do with Sal robbing a store, being arrested, and receiving whatever punishment came with that. The scar is a fair cop, though.

    On a totally different note: Does anyone here follow the Something Positive comic strip?

    Part of today’s comic involves a wake for someone. They have a memorial picture of the deceased, which looks a little like Mike…similar yellow hair color and stile,… similar shirt to what he was wearing last time we saw him, a sort of scowl. Coincidence or an inside joke? We do know the 2 artists have collaborated in the past so I assume they follow each other’s work.

      My immediate question was more “referential humor or accidental spoiler?” But then it occurred to me, from what I’ve learned of Randy from reading his comic it’s probably just intentionally misleading – they’re “missing” Mike because he’s been gone from the comic for like a week.

      To be fair though, S*P is in the Walkyverse, so it might be a different Mike.

      The “good” news is that Something Positive has been shown to take place in the Shortpacked universe in the past. Characters there adopted some of choo-choo-bear’s kittens.

      So either this is Shortpacked Mike’s funeral. Of there exists two Mikes, and Shortpacked Mike can wander into the DOA universe any second and really confused things.
