Snort on the quick lesson in girlhood!
Good one Greg!
Nikki: “First, let’s practice you listening to a girl talking about her feelings. Then, we move to the “we gotta talk” phase. Followed by, “we never talk anymore.””
Paste: “When do I get to talk then?”
Nikki: “Ok, lesson one…”
Graduate studies including how to survive a chickflick without going insane-r and chocolate is a girl’s best friend (most of us anyways), plus how to hold her purse and still look manly.
Post grad (PhD) includes ‘I don’t know’ is a legit answer for ‘why are you crying?’
The knight in shining armor extra credit includes ‘smack the bug upon scream alarm’ …. Poor Paste, how many years does he have to, oh, say, 30, to go?
“shouldn’t take long”
oh god Paste…you better buckle up because you are in for a lesson of a life time and you might get headaches…OFTEN. hehe
Oh, yeah. I dated two psych majors so I got the crash course and still took awhile. The more he learns the more he’ll realize how much he doesn’t know, but he will mature into something much more tolerable. How that fits into this comic, however, is a mystery.
please he will probably give up or hear what he wants not the rest. lol
Love the title. (Subtitle “My Fair Laddie?”)
Safe and successful trip to Charlotte!
Gah! I tinkered around with what I could do with ‘My Fair Lady’ and was so braindead that I stopped with what I used. I couldn’t put together ‘My Fair Laddie’, which I certainly would have used if it had come to me. You win.
No, no! Yours wins all around.
1. Shaw is classier and more literary than Lerner and Loewe.
2. “Pigmalion” is a triple threat pun:
a. pig – as in male chauvinist
b. male – see a.
c. yun – as in young ‘un
Paste is one lucky kid. This should be a required course in every school! (And girls could use the same, in understanding guys!!)
Human beans are so hard to understand!
listen to bill engvall and jeff foxworthy and they keep telling you that women keep trying to understand guys. but guys only care about 3 THINGS, whatever girl’s magazine say hehe.
shouldn’t take long you might as well pull up a chair and send out for some take out paste for odds are its going to take a while like maybe a whole week.
You’re excused, you got Charlotte-on-the-brain and have to be organized and packed for that. 🙂
Was supposed to be a reply to Greg’s comment up there!
One thing Paste needs to learn: You can’t always get what you want — such as a person who does not reciprocate your romantic (or, let’s face it, lustful) feelings despite your being ‘perfect’ for one another. But sometimes the object of your desire is not interested in you because they’re — not interested in you. And nothing you can say or do will change that. Oh, maybe every now and again they WILL come to care. Just don’t depend on it. And for chrissakes, don’t make a jerk of yourself trying to win them over, because you won’t. If you pride yourself in being ‘persistent’ and take it to the point of psychosis, all you might win is a restraining order against you.
Also: Sometimes it is for the best if you do NOT get what you want. Yes, it’s often not apparent at the time, but eventually you realize that you’re better off for having had your wishes denied. (Usually; everyone inevitably grows older, but not inevitably wiser.) I imagine that Paste would have a bit of trouble grasping or even imagining the concept. However, help is at hand.
Someone once wrote that one definition of hell is having your own way all the time. There’s an episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’ that illustrates the aphorism to perfection. If Paste persists in his pigheadedness about Nikki and threatens to get totally out of control, Hubris would do well to sit him down (sit UPON him, if necessary) and make him watch ‘A Nice Place to Visit.’ It serves as a sobering reflection if you’ve ever been in a funk about things not going your way.
