      Just because she can tie knots incredibly quickly that alone does not make her a superhero.

      It will however eventually make her very popular if she ever applies that to cherry stems.

        Plasma – I believe Random was making a christian / superspeed hero pun. A better response to that would be “Her ability to make crazy conclusions in a single bound is almost miraculous.” to keep with the heavenly hero theme.

        And then the next person could have made a pun about her willingness to go into dens of sin and inequity proving that she had the courage of a saint or making a joke about daring to go where even angels fear to tread…

        … whereupon some random person would have made a joke about the promised land, shortly followed by a Joe, Mike, or Walky -esque comment about it being between Dorothy’s legs.

        But you ruined all that and now it will never happen. For taking away that train of thought one can only respond with a hearty, “Boo!”

            I really can’t stay – Baby it’s cold outside
            I’ve got to go away – Baby it’s cold outside
            This evening has been – Been hoping that you’d drop in
            So very nice – I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice

            My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what’s your hurry?
            Father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
            So really I’d better scurry – Beautiful, please don’t hurry
            Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some records on while I pour

            The neighbors might think – Baby, it’s bad out there
            Say, what’s in this drink? – No cabs to be had out there
            I wish I knew how – Your eyes are like starlight now
            To break this spell – I’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell

            I ought to say no, no, no – Mind if I move in closer?
            At least I’m gonna say that I tried – What’s the sense in hurting my pride?
            I really can’t stay – Baby don’t hold out
            Ah, but it’s cold outside

            I’ve got to get home – Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
            Say, lend me your coat – It’s up to your knees out there
            You’ve really been grand – Thrill when you touch my hair
            Why don’t you see – How can you do this thing to me?

            There’s bound to be talk tomorrow – Think of my life long sorrow
            At least there will be plenty implied – If you caught pneumonia and died
            I really can’t stay – Get over that hold out
            Ah, but it’s cold outside
            Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
            Oh, baby, it’s cold outside

        Beats me, I’m a dude, we did Cub Scouts instead.

        I did Tiger, Bobcat, Wolf, and Bear. Then I quit because I was bored and who wants to be called Webelos.

          I made it halfway through Bear Scout myself. Then one week we just didn’t go, and I didn’t say anything about it, and we just never went again, and later I asked why we never went anymore and my Mom just said “if you wanted to go you should have said something”.

          Course I didn’t actually learn any useful outdoorsy stuff or ever go camping so it was kind of a waste of time.

        It’s Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, from youngest to oldest.

        … What, I have nieces.

        Anyway, I bet Joyce’s parents wouldn’t let her be a Girl Scout. They let lesbians in, that’s promoting the gay agenda and stuff.

    Damn. We’re back to jokes. At least it’s not as bad as yesterday, where we got some sweet sentimental fleshling crap.

    I much prefer the comics where bad things happen to fleshlings and they are sad.

    That said, I like the potential I see in Joyce. She shows promise. Yes, when people ask ‘what are you going to do about it?’ The best response is to simply do whatever it is you are going to do. People need to learn discipline. They need to learn to take orders from their superiors. It is important to show others that you are superior to them.

    Does anyone care how fucked up that is for Sarah to breach her privacy like that? That’s really invasive. I understand mentioning that it’s okay to undress or whatever and that insisting she turn away is a little weird, but threatening to break her set boundary? Really not cool. What’s up Sarah? Are you feeling insulted that she wanted to dress you so you’re going on the defense? Too far.

I’m sure there are a few girls who are more decrete, heck maybe my group is just way too open. Still funny.

A lot of stuff going on in this lede
Seventeen days after Roland Beainy, the face of the viral restaurant Trump Burger
and an ardent fan of the president, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accused of not being in
the country legally, lyad Abuelhawa — who founded the Trump Burger forerunner in 2016; whose wife recently slammed Beainy for taking credit for their idea; who, 20 years ago, was accused of injecting
1,100 Exxon Mobil employees with fake flu vaccines and then, while in jail, snitched on another inmate's murder-for-hire-plot
before pleading guilty in his own case — was also detained by ICE and is being held in untenable conditions, according to his attorney.

Not even *six months* out from the April Fool's post that presented such a thing as preposterously hilarious. The Slop Era is real.

Remember when Blockbuster Video gave a dude so many late fees he decided we should all borrow DVDs in the mail and then destroy the entire cable industry and shove a weird hot metal spike up the movie industry's keister for both better and worse? Anyway, never underestimate the power of spite.

Earlier this month at TFN I saw the amazing TF None panel by @chrismcfeely.bsky.social & @jimsorenson.bsky.social and I absolutely fell in love with the proposed version of Megatron. So after a little paint and 3d printing, I'm very excited to reveal my custom Negator!

You’ve seen the popemobile, but have you seen the Jesus semi
Back of a semi-truck cab seen from the highway. Two large vertical hoses and a coiled cable form the appearance of eyes and hair and a smiling mouth, making the truck look like Jesus

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well: ‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned we're rerunning the week of strips where Edda strips a critic on stage during a performance, which definitely should've landed her in prison.
