    Panel 8 – I’m assuming (and hoping) that that ” >Crack!!!< "
    is the sound of her hand slapping him, and not the sound
    of a rifle shot.

      Oh I’m sure it was, Teresa has far less patience for
      those types than anyone. Women are NOT demons,
      but I have met a few that do a good “witch” impression. 😛

        I’ve known a few who claimed the title “witch” proudly,
        married to one for over 40 years.
        She only owned the title “demon” in certain private circumstances.

    Sounds like Kelly is going to be replaced! I do see Gopi
    becoming a pilot, be a good way to re-direct her internal
    rage towards those who deserve it. I don’t blame Miral,
    she is adorable. Baring any accident, Gopi will have a
    very long career in the military, and give both Kathy
    and Teresa a new member in the Dragonfly club 🙂

    Figures, a Muslim extremest. and yeah NOT good!
    Hoping for your 42 virgins pal? It’s not virgins,
    it”s Virginians! Enjoy your beatings for eternity…

      Either that or Kelly will find he has a new
      friend to whom he’s as close as he is to Miral.
      But they’ve been good friends for a long time,
      nothing can ever change that.

        I believe that was said by one of the “Redneck Tour” guys,
        Jeff Foxworthy’s buddies. Mine was Robin Williams, not sure
        if it was “Live at Metro” or “Weapons of Self-Destruction.”
        I think you’re right, it was 72, not 42, but I always thought
        it was a really dumb idea that you’d want or need sex after
        you’re dead, it’s not like you’re gonna make babies in the
        after-life. Maybe THAT’s the deal, having that many beautiful,
        willing ladies and you can’t do a thing about it.

          I once told one of my aunts about the whole 72 virgins thing.

            72 virgins.
            72 women who don’t know what they’re doing.
            Remembering my own wedding night, where neither
            one of us had any experience…
            72 X 0 experience doesn’t sound like heaven to me.

              George Carlin made that joke, and I have to agree. My lovely
              wife wasn’t one, but still had little clue, her idea was to just
              lay back. I had to educate her on the basic stuff, plus teach
              her my part of the deal. It was fun, but to do that 71 more
              times? most of her encounters (from what I gathered) was
              they got off and went to sleep, I never did that 😉

    I think I might have figured it out, I voted just a few hours ago,
    and then I started to re-read the section about Seb and the dance,
    I figured I’d give it a shot and it worked! I’ve voted 4 times in
    the last 4 hours. I’ll read through a few pages and try again,
    I’ll let everyone know.

          Sigh.. true, I have a strong analytical mind, I see patterns and such,
          so when I focus on a problem I usually figure it out, even if by trial
          and error as well as observations. TWC isn’t showing any of that it
          and it just bugs the hell out of me. I guess you could say “I don’t
          do random” Heh. Even the so-called random number generators
          aren’t random, they just fake it. For giggles I looked at the lottery
          numbers, I found a pattern, I hit 2-3 numbers every time, but I got
          sick of it and dropped it. There’s always a pattern, just got to find it.

              I don’t think it’s cookie related. I use Firefox, and have it set to
              auto-delete cookies on close, and not remember any history.
              I just closed out, and then to make sure, ran CCleaner to dump
              history and cookies. Came back to TGW and tried to vote. Nope.
              Still two hours before I can vote again.

      Are you talking about voting in TWC? You can vote once every
      14 or 16 hours (don’t remember now) from each public IP address.
      If you have a dynamic IP, your ISP might reassign you a
      different IP every few hours and it allows you to vote again.

        My ISPs are static, but I still occasionally get the
        “you can vote again in “xx” hours” way less than 24,
        right after having just voted. But yeah,
        Scarsdale’s may be dynamic rather than static.

    Guessing here……he hasn’t actually done anything
    actionable against the Empire, so I don’t think
    Teresa will have him hung/executed.
    It would be fitting to have him exiled,
    with what he has on, right now.
    Nah….ain’t gonna happen that way.
    First, need to find this sand chigger’s
    cohorts at the other end of those burst
    transmissions, and deal with all of them accordingly.
    (most likely close by, within the Empire,
    what with low power, short range, burst transmissions) ,
    Sooooo, “Plotting Treason Against The Empress and Empire”.
    Is that a “thing” according to the Empire Constitution and laws?
    And whatever else happens, somehow I don’t think the Rangers
    will be doing a last minute save on his radical self.

      Treason? I don’t know if it is as narrowly defined in the Empire’s Constitution as
      it is in the US’s, but I hear it bandied about way to often these days for things
      that actually come closer to dereliction of duty or malfeasance in office. And
      all we’ve actually seen so far is he’s been spying on the Empress (and somehow
      knew she would be there) and insulted her to her face. Not a coward at least.
      However, I’m pretty sure he’s in violation of whatever oath he swore to get
      INTO the Marines in the first place, was lying through his teeth then with his
      true loyalties elsewhere.

          If he was so malicious and knew he will be slapped,
          he could have some kind of slowly acting poison on his cheeks…

          poison anyway. But _that_ isn’t a common knowledge.

        “Treason” is at the high end of a spectrum of crime.
        For it to be eligible for the worst death penalty,
        it must include:
        1) An intent to harm The Empire
        2) The ability to do harm
        3) Involve a foreign actor
        Of course, that’s crucifixion-level treason.
        Anything that does not meet all three requirements
        would be limited to hanging, at worst.
        In this (comic) case, it’s Dealer’s Choice.

      Any act, or plan to act on an attack on the leader of a country
      is an act of war.
      The bits I remember of the K’ron is it looks at women as succubi,
      demons sent to earth to corrupt the “good” men to do evil
      against Alla. That statement is what got me comparing KJ bible
      and the K’ron and their similarities. They both blame women
      for the evils that men did.

        Jezebel was certainly blamed for Ahab, Eve for Adam’s fall,
        and Delilah for Samson. And yet,
        the Bible lists a number of strong, good women, including Ruth,
        Esther, Jael, Naman’s little slave girl, on up to Mary and her
        cousin Elizabeth, and not ending with Dorcas.

          Agreed there are positive as well as negative examples in
          the bible. Although, in the case of Eve, her “blame” is
          mostly from people not actually reading what is written.
          I’m paraphrasing here, but after she bit the fruit, it says
          she gave it to Adam, who was with her. She’s the one
          recorded as having the conversation with the serpent,
          and falling for his sales pitch, but Adam was standing
          right there at the time. He was just as guilty.

            In every bible, only the men were allowed to write them
            during a time when women were considered nothing
            more than slaves and vessels to to carry the men’s children.
            That is a common theme through out most religions. Many
            still cling to that idea, despite science proving otherwise.

              the witch hunting bible (Malleus Maleficarum.) was written by a monk,

                I was referring to the original writers, not the translators and “editors.”
                I had read something somewhere that was saying that a monk had
                questioned the accuracy of the copies made, since they were still being
                hand written then and were made from copies. The Father told him it’s
                all the same and not worry about it, but after a while he started to wonder
                himself and asked to see the first one written. within minutes he
                discovered several inaccuracies of the copies. Hundreds of bibles were
                sent out to priests like that, they never bothered to correct it because
                of the work.

      It’s when the European population began to spread out and meet
      the “primitives” in other countries that the idea of lesser ‘advanced”
      people were little more than animals. Before that, it was the people’s
      station in life AKA who they were born to, that decided who was intelligent
      and deserved to rule over others. Sadly, the types of people that
      believed in that, still exist to this day. Panel seven has one now!

    You would think, after the events following their plan to take Romania
    over from the infidels, that they would think twice, no.

      They’re not thinking about failures such
      as their plant to take over Romania.
      “Inshallah” – As God Wills. They do what they want,
      and if it’s what Allah wants, what they do succeeds.
      If not, they fail.

      Funny you should mention medieval Europe.
      That’s the level of barbarism the Muslim horde is

        No, they are not! They believe, just like the Medieval church,
        that if you don’t believe, then you aren’t human and treat
        you as such. Torturing to get the victims to “confess” to save
        face, then kill them in some horrible fashion, is just like the
        horde. Only they don’t bother getting them to “confess”.
