          Maybe it was a “metric” foot? But then again, Subway footlongs ain’t exactly 12 inches either.

            The infinitely supperior and majestic metric system does not have feet at all. But a meter-long dong would be less impressive, more deformity. A meter is roughly 3 feet.

              I was thinking more of the line of a metric foot equaling 12 cm.

                You might have to dump your teacher for others that actually know the metric system. I’m not precisely sure how many centimeters is a foot worth but it is close to 30-32.

                Thus if Walky’s “foot” was only 12cm long it’d be rather unimpressive.

                Incidentally, this conversation fits my avatar perfectly. 🙂

          Just say whatever you want. If you convince enough people, it’ll become real. That’s how language works. No one knows that all of language started because someone didn’t want to seem dumb when they thought they’re friends were making the same sounds for a reason.

      The glasses actually got dislodged from her face during the sexytimes and remained in the bunk.  As a person who wears glasses myself, I was more worried that they would have rolled over onto them and broken them.

      And that is Walky’s jacket, but he had already taken it off before getting into bed together.  Not to mention that it is probably wet, cold, and clammy about now.

      The glasses fell of her head right at the end, and ended up behind her pillow. I can’t remember if we saw where the clothes ended up, but I think the May have just been shoved to the edges of the bed, if not off altogether due to them being soaked.

        Agreed. I’ve had fantastic sex with someone I’ve had a great emotional connection with and I’ve had crappy sex with someone who knew exactly how to push all the right buttons but there was no emotional connection anymore. Just because someone is skilled in a technical/mechanical sense doesn’t mean that great sex will happen and just because someone is new and doesn’t feel like they know what they’re doing doesn’t mean that the sex will be bad. And even if someone feels they don’t know what they’re doing, that doesn’t mean they won’t hit the right buttons. When partners are um…demonstrative…when they are enjoying something, it tends to encourage the other partner to keep doing that thing that is getting the sexy reaction. 🙂

Naive and sexually repressed Joyce thinking out loud to herself, “Hey this is weird, I wonder why there is a sock on her door?” Confused Joyce barging inside without knowing what the sock represents. And finally a helpful Joyce starting to say, “Hey Dorothy did you know..” before receiving a face full of Dorothy.

    Oh. Oh god.

    After all that just went down with the Amazi-girl storyline I am really dreading the culmination of this Dorothy arc with her newspaper article.

    Really like the chemistry between the two of them. Walky actually being glad that he’s not her first and she could lead him through the whole thing is just nice to see.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.
