LOL!!!!! GO DRU!
BikeNBoatN said, 19 days ago

Pib: Dru’s not big on exposé. More of an action-oriented kinda gal.

9CWL: Gee, I thought Superlative Girl was put to rest a while back.

Dru’s not a bloviator. But by Mogg’s silken ears, does she look good whatever she’s doin’…

Time for some slicing and dicing.

Remorseless, relentless, successful. Succubus Number One!
BikeNBoatN said, 19 days ago

AmriloJim Thanks for posting the boilerplate. As it turns out, I got back in time, but didn’t post it because of my earlier message from “yesterday”.
The Old Wolf said, 19 days ago

Eyes crossing. G’nite everyone, the wooden hill is calling.
Sisyphos said, 19 days ago

9CWL: talk abut legs that go all the way up!

Old Wolf, I agree: sure would be nice to have a crossing guard like that [mostly irrelevant: I was a “patrol boy” (as we called them, back then) in, I think, 6th grade].
Ladywolf17 said, 19 days ago

Hi Marg!
invisifan said, 19 days ago

I get the feeling I know where some of the ducks around the couch escaped from
Jim said, 19 days ago

Pib : Does the fact that she stopped to hear him out first mean anything ?

9CwL : Makes sense .

G’night all .
BikeNBoatN said, 19 days ago

I think Dru learned her lesson about gloating from her experience with Pick.
Joe Minotaur said, 19 days ago

A.J. posted the Boilerplate before me, so I took mine down and made room for the Quiz Results.

Ranma 1/2 is a well written Manga/Anime series and well worth the effort. It’s best to start at the beginning. The first episode sets the whole thing up. When I saw it for the first time, I played it on a VCR for a coworker, but I didn’t tell him anything before it started. I wanted him to figure out what was going on by himself.
Tabicantra said, 19 days ago

Sorry to be so late, Thank you to all well wishers. Even my cat got me something…right in the middel of my bed. I love him anyway.

Thanks agian. Here’s to a good week ahead…(ooo, maybe not so much for T.T….ouch!)
TheDoctortheoneonlya... said, 19 days ago

Wow, a Steve Martin line and John Belushi gag rolled into one Lucsious, Drulicious Package.
Adrienne Gormley said, 19 days ago

Looks like Dru’s quite familiar with the Evil Overlord rules ;)
UncaAlby said, 19 days ago

Pibgorn

What no monologuing? (Dru must have been paying attention at the Evil Overlords Class!)

9CL

I thought Edda had given up Superlative Girl for want of need? And was going to be Betty Nosferatu from now on?

Reference
BikeNBoatN said, 19 days ago

9CWL: Back on 01-25-09, I thought we’d seen the last of Superlative Girl. I guess not. That’s ok, she’s a pretty stunning alter-ego.
♠Lonewolf♠ said, 19 days ago

Chopped liver anyone? Go Dru!
UncaAlby said, 19 days ago

@Joe Minotaur said, 1 minute ago

I wanted him to figure out what was going on by himself

Gotta ask – did he?
Oriscus said, 19 days ago

She juliennes! She really juliennes!

Sometimes it’s best not to stall.

@Sisyphos said, 8 minutes ago

9CWL: talk abut legs that go all the way up!

That reminds me of the joke about the pet store.

A lady walks in, looks at the various dogs, notices the Dachshund.

“My, but aren’t his legs awfully short?” she says.

The pet store owner replies (you can see this coming, right?) ”But madam, they’re long enough to reach the ground!”
desertdwlr said, 19 days ago

hack him in half dammit !!!
UncaAlby said, 18 days ago

Did anybody see “Time Bandits”??

Remember the ending?

”Don’t touch that! It’s EVIL!
waycyber said, 18 days ago

It’s All Souls Day

I remember Joyce Nelson, Margaret Brown, Alfred Brown, Frank Jenner, John Hainey, Noel Stanton, Joseph Rosza.
Joe Minotaur said, 18 days ago

UncaAlby
He was “Deer-caught-in-the-headlights” until the bath scene with Akane walking in on Ranma(Boy-type).

It’s All Souls Get Their Own M&M’s Day
UncaAlby said, 18 days ago

(got mine!)
Sisyphos said, 18 days ago

The subtle, contrasting expressions in panels 2 and 3 are telling indeed. TomT can imagine nothing else, while Dru is wary and wise. Let the slicing and dicing begin!
UncaAlby said, 18 days ago

9CL

I guess being protective is instinctual. I remember a few years back when I nearly wandered mindlessly into a street, and my son grabbed my arm to stop me.

I was too shocked by the irony (I’m supposed to be protecting him) to say anything about it!
Joe Minotaur said, 18 days ago

UncaAlby
Haven’t seen Time Bandits in ages.
Loved the scene with the giant under the ship.
Ladywolf17 said, 18 days ago

Me too UncaAlby and look a blue M&M.
waycyber said, 18 days ago

My avatar is of John Hainey. At eight years old he was rescued from a fire. He had a stroke which affected the left side of his body. He walked with a stick, but had to use a wheelchair to slow him down! He spoke with a broad Scottish mumble, only being understandable to those that spent time with him. He was uneducated, not able to read or write.

But he taught many about acceptance and friendship. When any new person came to a meeting, his would be the first hand to reach out in greeting. He was an amazing Dominoes player, and would always invite new people to play with him (to his rules, mind).

He had a wicked sense of humour and would use his disability to good effect. He loved the ladies. Sometimes, he would touch their behind. When the lady turned around to see him, anger quickly went, as did the lady!

It is said that a wise man can learn from anyone. I do not consider myself wise, but I learned a lot from this man.
ARF2 said, 18 days ago

You want her to monologue? That’s your job description, not hers.

Bye, bye!

9CWL: I’m a little surprised that a fashionista like Edda would have such baggy pants all bunched up on the bottoms like that. Especially after this.
Ladywolf17 said, 18 days ago

Good night everybody.
Sisyphos said, 18 days ago

Another blade-lady:
AmriloJim said, 18 days ago

BikeNBoatN said, ”9CWL: I’m a little surprised that a fashionista like Edda would have such baggy pants all bunched up on the bottoms like that. Especially after this.”

That panel reminds me… both the Amos and Elliott action figures need to have hyperventilation bags as accessories.

And you’re welcome on the BP; I figured the post was a transition-limbo thing.
AmriloJim said, 18 days ago

Sisyphos, TinyURLs cannot be used for embedding images. The ![ ] syntax looks for an image file; TinyURLs are page addresses.
Saskfan said, 18 days ago

I remember Barbara Powell, PhD and violinist extraordinaire, Audrey McLeason, Sandra Schmirler, John and Jean Hodges, Elizabeth Parkin, Frank Lambsdown, Maurice and Mary Shotter, Vera Slater, and Raime (whose last name I don’t know, but who was beaten to death at the age of 2 years).
pyotr2009 said, 18 days ago

Dru, you’re a cruel, cruel, vindictive sort. Will you be my friend?

(Dru is demonstrating that she is not evil. She’s just going to kill him, not talk him to death.)
Saskfan said, 18 days ago

Unca Alby: All I got was a handful of 3s and Ws.

Enough of the Couch of Confusion for now. Gotta head to the Waterbed of Weariness. Good night all, and may the memories of those past all be good memories, to sustain and encourage you.

Now you know why even geese won’t come around our couch!
Sisyphos said, 18 days ago

Not sure what you’re referring to, AmriloJim–the Electra image is showing on my minotaur….
Joe Minotaur said, 18 days ago

In a foggy meadow at dawn:
Sir! I challenge you to a duel!
Very well! Choose your weapon.
We will stand back to back, walk ten paces, turn and then fire. Are we agreed?
Yes.
Begin. 1… 2… 3..
BANG
Sir… that… was only… 3 paces…
I’m sorry, I have ADD. We’ll go again. Oh, drat. My gun’s empty. can I borrow yours?

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
