I enjoy watching Big Bang Theory now. I came around to it after being told for years that I should watch it.
But I like the way they write the characters. It feels like they’ve got a handle on each character, and the handle isn’t always spelled out, you know? As time goes on, they tease out the different drives behind everyone’s quirks.
And I get to do that here, too. I won’t bother to bore you with WHY everyone behaves the way they do, but you’ve teased out a little about everyone as we go, haven’t you?
And remember, like Sherlock and Dr. Who, the characters are never above lying about to to themselves.
Fun, right?
Fruit flies like an arrow, time flies like a banana.
Been loving the trip we’ve been on, Greg! Almost as much as Nikki loves the scary lady!
Nikki just needs some quiet dry time, some calories and some Gatorade. Maybe some caffeine. A bit of a rest and she’ll feel MUCH better. Yep. She needs BTU’s, Calories, Electrolytes, and away from the water for a bit.
I am having the feeling that Kara is having way too much fun.
She’s scared now, but give Nikki a few days, then invite her out again. She’ll be so anxious to go, she’ll have the car packed before you finish the invite.
17 years of Buckets? Almost 7 years of Hubris? And we’re not yet to the 2nd Skanky Creek? That seems… wrong
Well, Comic Strip Time isn’t like Real World time. It’s more like Soap Opera Time… It takes two to three seconds to read a comic strip, so a minute or two might take WEEKS to tell.
Much like comic book time. Characters invented in 40s, 60s, and their origins get updated to recent times constantly. On the other hand, Toby’s a little older.
Scary as she is, this has really made me want to try kayaking. It wouldn’t be as exciting if you didn’t have that danger.
Bring back Paste please!
I doubt that it’ll be too long before we see Paste again.
Now Bob, on the other hand…
Kara.. Stop Pwning the Newb.. K? BUHBYYYE…
When Nikki had signed on with the Outdoor Galore Store, Kara’s behavior suggested that she viewed Nikki as a potential romantic rival. Though Hubris has never given Kara any reason to believe that, neither then nor now, unreasonably jealous people don’t need a reason, right?
But now I’m thinking that there could be more to Kara’s seeming pleasure in scaring Nikki, or even another reason entirely. I have no idea what it might be, so I’ll just have to wait and see if or when it will surface (and probably when I least expect it).
And all this ‘teasing out’ talk also brings to mind a really scary lady: Crazy Dog Lady Cthula, specifically this scene:

It was here that she became — for me, anyway — just a bit more understandable and even, I dare say, sympathetic. Still scary, yes, but a little less of a walking — more like wildly lurching — caricature.
