Today my partner asked me to make the noise the TARDIS makes ‘when it’s flying through wormholes and stuff’. I began to whistle the treble melody of the theme song. “No, that’s not it at all!” they protested. So I switched to the bass line (bum ba dum da dum bum da dum da dum…) “That’s it!” they shouted triumphantly. Funny, who notices what.
Yup, the 60th anniversary special is three parts, part one airs on the 25th. If you’re in the US it will be available for streaming on Disney Plus, although I don’t know at what time specifically. David Tennant is back as the 14th Doctor for these specials, and somehow Donna Noble is returning as his companion. I am excited for it.
Well, yes, that is the ACTUAL sound effect used. But my partner talks in shorthand and mixes words, so I was pretty sure they just meant the theme song.
…oh, but he’s talking like he’ll be able to continue a conversation the whole time. I get it now. yeah, at higher weights my counting was barely recognisable as words, and I’d mainly be doing it so I can’t forget to breathe.
I feel like you could design these so that if the Barbell drops it catches the rests, but I guess it’d still be dangerous without a second person and you maybe don’t want to encourage people to take chances like that.
There are machines that do exactly that, but by virtue of being (usually) fixed onto a larger structure, they have a different range of motion, and so many people still prefer free weights, because they feel their form is better and that they exercise a greater amount of muscles.
I love that Jacob isn’t oblivious to the subtext of the whole situation. It’s kind of a fresh angle to approach this from, that Jacob knows she likes him, she knows he knows, and I guess the question here is if he wants to be friends with her or if this is him basically floating that he’s receptive to her interest if she’ll stop with the cynical approaches. That’s kind of fascinating in a work of fiction where we don’t really often get the post-mortem on hijinks in this kind of fashion.
It is a fun dynamic. I also like it when what appear to be one off bits or comedic adventures lurch out of the morgue dragging consequences behind them.
I like that Sarah – the ostensibly most spiteful, cantankerous, and emotionally dismissive of the gang – is the one that struggles hardest to just talk to her crush. Its nice to see her not merely as the hardball schemer, noncommittal grump, or savage protector, but a character with a soft goopy inside (metaphorically, that is. We all soft and goopy on the inside in the letteral sense).
Unless you’re referring to Kraft Dinner, in which case they forego the macaroni noodles and replace them with little hollow tubes. If they aren’t curved, they aren’t macaroni!
Usually the other person would be helping. Also Jacob (or whoever) will have lifted them multiple times. Sarah only has to move them once. And she’s already standing so she just has to deadlift rather than do a press.
Yeah, the spotter generally doesn’t need to be able to lift the whole weight. Even if it becomes too heavy for the lifter to manage, like if they’re getting worn out, it should be only a fraction of the weight that they need help to get up to the rack.

For me, it’s just another weed holiday LOL. Might eat a turkey burger with cranberry mustard sauce and maybe get a back-up pair of noise-cancelling headphones while they on sale (I can’t live without them), but that’s about it.
Could be good for sure, especially if Jacob is on a sports scholarship because I’d imagine that training with a body could have some cross over benefits if you were wrestling
Might do him good to learn consistency, patience, make some male friends and it might even help build some confidence in him (proper confidence I mean, not his fake confidence)
Knowing Walky’s weird physiology that lets him stay trim on a pure fast food diet, working out is just as likely to make him less healthy. As in he’ll probably hurt himself trying.
Jacob looks like he bench presses more than he weighs. Having Sarah (~125lbs) spot him when he’s lifting 250lbs seems suspect. Now a spotter only has to help the lifter finish the list, but still.
Staring at someone who’s doing work, but not contributing anything? That’s basically a cat’s job, yesterday’s comments were bang on.
Just don’t lean too much into that, Sarah, it’s all too easy to get the roles confused and then every time he strains upwards you might wind up telling him “biiiiiiiiiig stretch” and he’ll never fall for you if you do that, right?
Cats like to copy what you’re doing. I think that’ll end with Sarah bending over on her back on Jacob’s face pushing at the bar along with him, or maybe grabbing a nearby set of weights on her own. . .

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.
"You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

that’s the important one right
She has priorities.
To be fair, he did agree to the terms with ‘neck’ as the specified body part, and they are studying law
Don’t blink. Blink and
you’reJacob’s dead.Amazing episode.

Can’t wait for the new episode Saturday! It’s only been, what, 13 months?
Have fun!
DID YOU SAY NEW EPISODE?!
Yay!

In linear time.
And 60 years…Dr. Who shares an anniversary with JFK. First episode broadcast the day JFK got shot.
IMO, it’s both! But it’s very hard for one person to do both at once.
I thought it was that grinding, scraping, Speeder-Bike-on-Endor sound. (Or did the Doctor finally remember to release the parking brake?)
Well, yes, that is the ACTUAL sound effect used. But my partner talks in shorthand and mixes words, so I was pretty sure they just meant the theme song.
Can’t blink, Jacob won’t eat me…
Welp, that’s a signal for me to hunt up the fan music video of this episode and ELO’s “Turn to Stone”.
This one?
Rock on!
Okay now this music video is just frickin PERFECT 🤩
Yep!
sarah you’re doing amazing sweetie
She’d rather be doing Ja… no, you’re right. Too wholesome. Sarah is doing amazing isn’t she? You got dis Sarah!
I love Sarah so much!!!!
Sarah is confronted by the crushing weight of her feelings.
Damn, gym basically be torture, but Sarah certainly didn’t expect this kind!

*plays “JoJo Torture Dance” on hacked muzak*
Jacob is clearly going too light, all my conversation if I’m doing that involves grunting and swearing.
Perk of being a fictional character is that talking is (usually) a free action.
Unfortunately I train in my garage so I certainly don’t get the view Jacob’s getting
On the plus side I choose the music, the toilets close by and no one hears me breaking wind when squatting or deadlifting
warmups. always good to do warmups.
…oh, but he’s talking like he’ll be able to continue a conversation the whole time. I get it now. yeah, at higher weights my counting was barely recognisable as words, and I’d mainly be doing it so I can’t forget to breathe.
Low weight with a higher number of reps is a thing.
A quick check to make sure I got it right says it’s for endurance and tone while high weight and low reps is for bulking up.
I feel like you could design these so that if the Barbell drops it catches the rests, but I guess it’d still be dangerous without a second person and you maybe don’t want to encourage people to take chances like that.
I train in a power rack at home but I also don’t make big jumps in the weight I’m lifting ’cause safety and all that
Something similar to this one (its a bit fancier looking than mine)

it’s always good to have a partner but it just makes me think of that Hitman (game) assassination technique
Well she’s been very clear with her boundaries. XD

Chekhov’s babell has been placed upon the mantelpiece, lift? [ynqAAAIEEE]
–Dave, a text-and-pics adventure
Aw Sarah. You can manage that one more thing. We believe in you!
God I wish that were me.
I also wish I had the mental and physical strength to lift weights with healthy regularly.
Which one, there’s good views either way.
It occurs to me now that the angle is pretty much dead-on for laying in someone’s lap.
I like that Sarah – the ostensibly most spiteful, cantankerous, and emotionally dismissive of the gang – is the one that struggles hardest to just talk to her crush. Its nice to see her not merely as the hardball schemer, noncommittal grump, or savage protector, but a character with a soft goopy inside (metaphorically, that is. We all soft and goopy on the inside in the letteral sense).
As promised
A bit of a rush job. I was busy making Mac & cheese for tomorrow.
Great.
Poor Joyce. Sarah is distracting her from imagining someone groin
Haha it’s meant to be two seperate pics. (also that was meant to be a butt oops)
Looks like a butt to me.
Thank you Yoto, for your (fan) service.
GOODness!
A rush job? For it’s evident purpose of melting me, I say it’s a rather GOOD job.
🫠
Enjoy a well deserved feast!
nice
and enjoy ur mac lol i’d be too tempted to eat it right away
Uh-oh is Joyce g-g-g-g-gettin bi???
Random onomatopoeia that doesn’t correspond to an actual sound is one of my favorite comic devices. “Butt!”
Did you remember to follow the directions on the box of macaroni and cheese to the letter?
Haha boxes. Where we’re going we don’t need “boxes”.
I’m making it from scratch
[Horrified Joyce creeper face dot tga]
Wow, where do you find the room to cultivate the wheat?
I mean, Mac and Cheese is really just macaroni pasta covered in cheddar-based mornay sauce, it ain’t that hard to make from scratch
Unless you’re referring to Kraft Dinner, in which case they forego the macaroni noodles and replace them with little hollow tubes. If they aren’t curved, they aren’t macaroni!
but how do you make the powder
Powdered cheese comes from powdered milk, doesn’t it?
I’m pretty sure that’s just freeze-dried cheddar Mornay sauce with a few extra ingredients to preserve flavor and extend shelf-life
but did you serve it Dorothy-style (loaded with pepper) or Joyce-style (plain)?
The idea is Sarah to hold the bar to Jacob guard it or to her quickly lift it if the bar falls on him?
Also, I ship them, but I like to divert into another related-but-not-really discussion.
You generally quickly grab the bar to move it to a safe position if the other person looks like they’re slipping (or ask for help).
Shouldn’t those weights be way too heavy for Sarah to move them? Jacob looks like he can lift her entire body weight.
Usually the other person would be helping. Also Jacob (or whoever) will have lifted them multiple times. Sarah only has to move them once. And she’s already standing so she just has to deadlift rather than do a press.
Joyce can help! *grabs around Sarah from behind*
–Dave, Dina: Oh, this is a socialization activity! *chompfs all of them*
ps: she was behind the weight machine ther WHOLE TIME, obviously
Yeah, the spotter generally doesn’t need to be able to lift the whole weight. Even if it becomes too heavy for the lifter to manage, like if they’re getting worn out, it should be only a fraction of the weight that they need help to get up to the rack.
this. you only have to help lift a few pounds of it to get them unstuck
I think she just has to steer the bar to the rests if necessary.
she’s so cute
indeed

Awe thanks for the support as always Laura!
For me, it’s just another weed holiday LOL. Might eat a turkey burger with cranberry mustard sauce and maybe get a back-up pair of noise-cancelling headphones while they on sale (I can’t live without them), but that’s about it.
Man, I really do ship these two hard.
I think they could be good for each other, if they work out their differences.
W…was that a pun?
Breathing. You also need to manage your breathing. How can you look at him if you’ve fainted!?
*plays “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Lauryn Hill*
Love that one!
Now if Jacob was to take Walky under his wing and get Walky into lifting it’d do a world of good for Walky
Wouldn’t help Jacob all that much though…
I don’t know that for sure; Jacob could just lift Walky, that would probably be good exercise.
Could be good for sure, especially if Jacob is on a sports scholarship because I’d imagine that training with a body could have some cross over benefits if you were wrestling
Do we really want to make Walky more powerful?
Might do him good to learn consistency, patience, make some male friends and it might even help build some confidence in him (proper confidence I mean, not his fake confidence)
He does need some guy friends. Maybe he could just watch them workout while he eats nachitos in the corner?
Knowing Walky’s weird physiology that lets him stay trim on a pure fast food diet, working out is just as likely to make him less healthy. As in he’ll probably hurt himself trying.
So its basically a win-win situation then
“trim” is not a good measure of health.
Getting Walky to exercise regularly would be a more herculean feat than lifting any of the actual weights in that gym.
Careful with that, you might end up with Walky having abs on his abs.
Jacob looks like he bench presses more than he weighs. Having Sarah (~125lbs) spot him when he’s lifting 250lbs seems suspect. Now a spotter only has to help the lifter finish the list, but still.
If you can talk while pressing then its probably just warm up sets
Orrr Jacob is doing low weights so he can have Sarah spot him?
He doesn’t strike me as the type that would make up an excuse (in this case using deliberately light weights) just to talk to Sarah
He seems a pretty confident type of guy
Or he’s doing low weights because he’s on a high-reps low-weight day as opposed to maxing out low/single reps?
Or, like a lot of chiseled guys, he’s not as strong as he looks to the layman?
Or, he trusts Sarah to be able to help him if he loses the weight but not necessarily to take the whole weight herself?
Really, there are a lot of reasons.
Nice angel
Howdy dowdy yowdy!

Just don’t lean too much into that, Sarah, it’s all too easy to get the roles confused and then every time he strains upwards you might wind up telling him “biiiiiiiiiig stretch” and he’ll never fall for you if you do that, right?
Cats like to copy what you’re doing. I think that’ll end with Sarah bending over on her back on Jacob’s face pushing at the bar along with him, or maybe grabbing a nearby set of weights on her own. . .
I dunno, my experience with cats suggests that climbing on the barbell and sticking her butt in his face is more likely.
i have CAUGHT UP, after FOUR DAYS :]
Those are some Hot perspectives!
I don’t think Sarah has enough presence of mind to do this job XD
philosophical mind-body division HIGHLIGHTED
she’s getting ahead of herself, it’s usually the sophomores that spend subjective hours on that
–Dave, she definitely has presence-tation of body, thinks Jacob
IIRC Sarah is a sophomore? Her problems with Raidah started last year.
Correct. She’s at least a year ahead of the principal cast.
The twist is that Jacob needs to pay attention to his barbe more than he does to Sarah’s form, so to speak. The distraction can go both ways.
I doubt it, he’s man of focus, commitment and sheer friggin’ will!
Maybe he has more available bandwidth to multitask.
Just gonna assume Joyce is still holding her off screen.
So nice to see Sarah have to occasion to use her fantasy at the maximum level. This seems like a new experience for her.
I want to be on Jacob’s place, and Sarah’s place, at same time.
You could take the middle: the bar
Sarah looking extra foine in these panels.
hilarious that it gave me Joe for this comment
