I’ve always felt sorry for the Police officers who were sent to look for it.
“You want us to go where and look for WHAT!??!” “Can you describe it?”
“Normal or vienna?”
So there is a story behind the Goth facade.
I’m glad that she has decided to open up
a little bit (so far) for “Zullienne” (spelling).
Be patient Julian.
Julian knows what it’s like to be
on the abused end. I doubt he
would ever become an abuser.
And I think he would most
forcefully be a protector of
others, no matter how mouthy
they may be.
Yeah after my sister’s “incident,” she was very cagey about dating.
All I’ll say is good for her! Just because most people think a
goth-girl is a freak, it’s rare that they are. My wife had to deal
with that too when she was a teen, I never did anything like
that with her, and she couldn’t understand it.
28% is a huge difference, that’s like going from my 3/4 ton 2500
to the Sonic, 12 gpm to 32 O_O.
That’s probably a more likely interpretation than the one I had,
a 28% reduction in costs rather than a 28% improvement in
performance. 100% your way = 30 MPG, 100% my way = 0
gallons per mile. A 28% reduction in costs would be 15/0.72 =
20.8 MPG. Not that different, yet.
A sudden thought (yes, it hurt).
If I’m reading TGW correctly,
it sounds like it’s paralleling
many of the same background
/parallel society concepts as
“The Probability Broach”
(L. Neil Smith 1980)
(graphic novilization
can be found at Big Head
Press, among others)
Peace through mutual trade,
individual liberties, minimum
government, wars only
when attacked from outside….
Funny you mention TPB. That particular literary tome was
mentioned favorably once in a firearms forum I was a member
of, so I looked for it. Which led to BHP, which led to other
graphic comics. Which I hadn’t known existed till that point.
I first found TGW through a quote you (Mr. Woodman, esq.)
linked to this strip: https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-072/
on another forum I follow. It’s been a number of years now,
so I’m not quite sure now, though I think I mentioned it in a
response somewhere on these pages in a comment.
Oh, Heavens No! That episode 72
was a major contribution to what I
call my “the way it ought to be” thought
process. Every once in a while I come
across something, stated just so, and
I go “Yeah. That’s foundational.” And
I adopt it and try to incorporate it.
Woke up this morning about 3. Couldn’t get back
to sleep. So, after the earlier reminder as to its
existence, I started reading TPB (the graphic novel
version) for about the fifth time. Got about half way
through before I got sleepy again about 5.
I note these ships are being offered to lease and not for sale on
installments or rent-to-own or anything else. The Empire is trying
to maintain proprietary possession of their technologies, including
the ones they acquired from the Demons and Disruptors by
capturing ships. But this does leave the door open for foreign
operators to reverse-engineer ships they are leasing. We’ll see.
The Captains’ Club (I assume the first word isn’t “Capture”) is at a
planet or star system or way-station or confluence of wormholes
called “Hades”. I assume the Empire has their freight station heavily
guarded by military escort and we will learn more later about exactly
what Hades is, why it’s called that, and how mobile the station is.
no worries, as long as we know you’re ok.
as messed up as i’ve been, i’m sure i’m
not alone there. The urns finally came, her
family is wanting some of her ashes, I
don’t blame them, but I’m not going cheap.
I broke down and got a desk lamp, I was getting tired
of my brain playing tricks on me, now my bed is lit up.
No more mind games of shadows and imagined movement.
I hope…
Abuse cuts deep.
Bobbit, I haven’t heard that in a long time.
If he acts up just Bobbit, hah.
That was quite a trial a long time ago.
Please can we have those ships?

I’ll admit to being blind and slow, but where was Bobbit mentioned?
Sorry, in the tags.
in the tags,,, as both the line “carve like a pot roast” an
cursor (cuts deep) talked about cutting him…

(additional after thought)
…but don’t be the fawning
simp, either. There’s no
quicker way to lose
respect.

packing for the move, hoping to get it done this weekend.

gas mileage – now 15mpg on a 20g tank = 300m per tank
28% improvement – 19.2mpg – 20g = 400m per tank.. o.0
That’s probably a more likely interpretation than the one I had,
a 28% reduction in costs rather than a 28% improvement in
performance. 100% your way = 30 MPG, 100% my way = 0
gallons per mile. A 28% reduction in costs would be 15/0.72 =

I know, I was just making a point.
it’s over 200% increase of mileage.

Great. Nominate TGW for the Prometheus Award.

Oops. I remembered where the reference was made by Mr.
Woodman. It was in a comment in response to another
online comic. Not a chat forum. My bad.
Sam,
Ummm……you’re welcome?
I think?
I hope I didn’t “poke the bear”
too much to make you upset
about anything.

Oops. I missed the wall sign in the first strip the location appeared in.
Sorry, there will be no Friday update. My brain is still sharp, it’s just in
the wrong place to write Julian’s story.
Thanks for telling us PC. We worry about you,
you know. Understood about needing to be in
the right frame of mind to write certain stories.
We’ll keep.
no worries, as long as we know you’re ok.

Ok, I’m really starting to worry, or does anyone
else think this is really funny?
