          I never wear long-sleeve shirts unless it’s for a VERY formal occassion and my short-sleeve dress shirts are wrinkled/dirty. Long-sleeve shirts in general for me are for desperately-extreme last-resort measures.

          For me, it’s khaki pants and t-shirt or polo in public, except for work, where it’s scrubs. At home it’s pajama shorts, but I call them my “around the house pants,” since I don’t actually sleep in them.

            (Remember: Having anal after you’ve spent hours on the toilet that day isn’t fun at all! Next time you should know better.)

            I’m used to webcomics putting up pictures of pretty girls as advertisements, but a naked girl with a few strategically placed words is ridiculous. It’s kind of offensive, and making me not want to click the link. I’ve seen it on a few webcomics now and it makes those webcomics look bad, besides turnin me off from reading the comic being advertised.

              In all fairness to Chimneyspeak, it’s not false advertising. There is A LOT of nudity in it, so if you are offended the banner, the odds are fairly good you’ll feel the same about the comic. Not to mention the adverts on the site for the Penny Dreadfuls Jack sells.

      I think sweat pant jeans can be any kinds of jeans you like. I mean, generally there isn’t too much of a difference in girls’ and guys’ jeans aside from the cut. And maybe some designs on girls’ butt pockets. I dunno.

        The cut makes a pretty huge difference, let me tell you.

        Also, dude waist and girl waist are in very different places on most jeans, especially lately. Walky in low-rise jeans would be like some kind of Flashpoint Zatanna craziness.

        …BUY PYJAMA JEANS, WALKY. BUY THEM.

          Wait, I got dude waist and lady waist mixed up.

          Low-rise jeans would still probably trigger Zatanna. Jodphur Zatanna, in many cases.

              Girls’ jeans don’t leave any room for your junk, though, so it’s gotta be uncomfortable, even with the extra stretch. Also the waist tends to be considerably narrower than the hips, even with the low-rise ones.

              I can wear my husband’s jeans, because his waist size and my hip size are about the same, but I’ve got a lot of extra room around the waist because of that whole hip-to-waist ratio thing, and there’s a good handful of extra material up front that I just don’t need. Guys’ jeans in my waist size I just can’t get my hips/butt into. It’s ( ) as opposed to | | if you know what I mean.

              I dunno. I’ve seen guys wear girls’ jeans, but the proportions of the area are different enough from gender to gender that they don’t fit well. And (with regular denim, at least) they CAN’T be comfortable. >.>

            But if you are wearing jeans that aren’t really jeans – particularly these – would wearing a girl version affect as much as it would on regular jeans?

            That is the question I’m unwilling to pay $35 to find the answer to.

    Mike actually seems like an impossibly cool guy in this comic. I mean, normally you would think “Oh shit he’s gonna come up with some new way to be a douchebag to me every day” but this shows him not even really insulting Walky that much. Maybe he’s just cool with him?

    Or maybe DoA Mike is just more mellow, I dunno. I would not mind having this Mike around. He’d be far better than my current roommate.

        I’d be tempted to say that if you had to look it up it should make you feel way out of the loop in terms of “wrestling” since Johnson’s been staging a comeback this year, and seven years ago isn’t long enough that, at a stated 23, you wouldn’t have likely not had some exposure to him during your formative years.

        Meanwhile me making a reference back to my formative years watching Macho Man have his heel face turn leading into the formation of The Mega Powers is something I wouldn’t expect you to know directly, being something from ’88 & ’89 when I still partook (having stopped watching nearly 20 years ago).

            Not really. That Joyce Livejournal Mood-Faces thing I’ve been working on for like 3 months doesn’t really take long, it’s only about 5-30 minutes of work, depending on what you want and what else is in the frame. Just get GIMP or something and start erasing background.

            So why has it taken me 3 months? Because I’m lazy. And there’s not enough different Joyce Faces lying around in DoA yet. But mostly because I’m lazy.

              The hard part isn’t making the picture. The hard part is picking the picture. If you personalize your gravatar it then represents you; you selected it, and thus you presumably stand behind it or it means something to you. Plus it’s supposed to be clever, funny, and/or appealing. And of course, if you find multiple candidate images, you then have to select between them. (Or manually rotate them via some method, which is work.) For some people this may be easy, but I haven’t got that kind of creativity or imagination.

              When the gravatar is assigned to you, though, all these problems go away – everyone knows it’s been assigned to you, so the image doesn’t even really have any representative meaning. It just is. I’d be a bit annoyed to get the shat-on Cyclops avatar over on the Shortpacked comment site, but other than that, it’s all good. And easy.

      Canada uses the UK spelling, and I had NO idea the States spelled it differently until I deliberately used American spelling for a story a few years ago, and had an American friend beta it for me, and she pointed it out.

      Apparently “counsellor” is spelled differently in the two countries too. Weird.
