            I’m pretty sure that if you actually masturbate, it resets the counter, so you can make more masturbation references. Hmm, one more masturbation reference, and I’m at quota. Ooops, that’s three. I’ll be back in a while.

          Seeing as this website is in the English language, then they are the Falkland Islands. Las Malvinas is the spanish name for them, and therefore neither is incorrect. Please don’t try and start a second Falklands war on a webcomic comment page =/

          Ok, first I disagree with you on the name and sovereignty of the islands and i do not wish to get into an arguement over it. Second it’s a joke. I know full well that it is winter in the southern hemisphere at this time.
          However it is late winter/early spring in the southern hemisphere in the comic.

          When I lived on that, the doors had locks on both sides so you could lock your suite mates out of your room if desired. Of course, it had the flaw of also allowing you to accidentally (or on purpose, I s’pose) lock your roommate in the bathroom.

          In three years, I rarely saw them used, but then I never had a suite mate quite like Joyce.

      • Mute

        meaning you could still technically lock Joyce out, but you’d also be locking her out of the shared bathroom. Which is probably against the rules, so then Ruth would have to come in and steal your femurs.

            The more I hear of this sort of thing, the more I’m glad that the shared-room dormitory idea never managed to cross the atlantic. It’s clearly the product of a deranged and sadistic mind.

            Particularly sharing one bathroom between two already-shared rooms. It’s bad enough having one of them in a 4-bed house conversion where you’ve all happily agreed to live together there, 1 person (or 1 dating couple…) to a room, and the bedrooms (and bathroom) all have separate doors onto the hallway. Or person-to-a-room dorms with a big shared bathroom block (…actually quite a friendly affair despite a 6:1 room:toilet ratio).

            But what’s illustrated here (and, I know, the reality of US universities) would be one of my visions of hell.

            Bunk beds, seriously? For people who in most places are old enough to drink, smoke, drive, vote, take out a mortgage, model for adult magazines, get married, etc? That sort of thing should be confined to hostels and the military.

              No. Fresca is allegedly grapefruit flavored soda. Mountain Dew, as far as I know, doesn’t claim to be based on anything in nature. And yet I’d still rather drink it.

                  Weirdly enough, I’m drinking a Fresca even as I read this exchange. It’s, like, the only sugar free soda out there that doesn’t use that fact as its primary selling point.

                  They have black cherry now too.

                  Squirt, on the other hand, is the DEVIL.

                If you drink Mountain Dew while eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, the sweet receptors in your tongue get numbed and it winds up tasting sort of like grapefruit juice. (The citrus flavor of Mountain Dew is supposed to be based on orange, for what it’s worth.)

      As brought up in earlier strips, Billie’s room and Joyce’s room are joined by a halfbath. You can only unlock that half-bath from the inside. In order to keep Joyce from entering Billie’s room, Billie would have to lock Joyce’s door to the bathroom. Nobody’s an idiot.

        While letting a hole like that exist is reasonable for Billie, after this she should be sticking a chair under the doorknob. There is NO reason to let someone have unfettered access to your room.

          In my dorm we did have locks on both sides of the bathroom door, but we rarely bothered.

        At my dorm, we locked the doors from our room’s side, and KNOCKED before entering.

      Having known people to enter friends’ apartments through their fourteenth story balcony window, roof access, or (in one very odd case) foundation, sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) you’re just better off to leave the door open.

      I don’t know if I’m a representative sample, but it’s more than I get through most of the semester.

      I still wouldn’t react well to that wakeup though. Probably worse than Billie actually. Potentially violently. That’s no way to wake someone up. In fact, why the hell is anyone waking me up anyway? I have an alarm for that.

      Fucking people think they can go waking up people. What reason does Joyce even have to be doing this now that we’re talking about it? Does she want to play or something? Does she need something from Billie? Surely it’s not just the principle that someone was sleeping at eight in the morning and thus needed to be awoken.

      Guess that’ll be the subject of tomorrow’s update. Oddly enough I’m gonna bet that this gets followed up by “Silly sleepy head. You almost slept past mass. Wouldn’t want to miss that would you?”

      Actually, the minimum is more than four hours, since she slept while she was in the closet too. Add at least another hour or so of sleeping in the closet, and she’s probably up to a minimum of five hours of sleep, which is something I get by on all the time. Quite likely around seven hours (say approximately 12 – 3 & 4 – 8 with an hour gap in the middle where she had the beers and fumed over Sal), so she shouldn’t be too sleepy once she fully wakes up.

      Still, even when you’re well rested, nobody likes being awakened like that. 😛

    How very Pinkie Pie-esque of Joyce.

    • Jackson
      Jackson
      July 7, 2011 at 7:12 am | #

      Well, there’s (at least) one significant difference between Pinkie Pie and Joyce.

      Pinkie Pie knows when you need a Pinkie Pie party better than you do.

      But when Joyce thinks you need a Joyce party, a Joyce party may very well be the last thing you need.

      • gangler
        gangler
        July 7, 2011 at 7:41 am | #

        Dude, Pinkie Pie always thinks you need a Pinkie Pie Party. Her social group is consequently comprised of people who can handle a near constant stream of Pinkie Pie Parties.

        There is at least one occasion when Pinkie Pie has interpreted basic politeness as a burning need to continue partying and then spent the better part of a day indulging in increasing paranoia about why there wasn’t any partying happening.

        The difference between Pinkie Pie and Joyce is that Pinkie Pie knows who her friends are, whereas Joyce thinks everyone is her friend and is equally interested in her Joyce parties.
