Transcript:
Luann: "Ok! So we settled New York, my summer job, our "pool rules"....anything else to discuss?"
Quill: "I don't think so"
Luann: "Good"
Quill: "So-what do you wanna do now?"

folks don’t go “they are not doing anything, unlike ALL COLLEGE KIDS” or “they are going all the way”. they are going at least 2nd base, maybe 3rd base but there won’t be coitus. JUST LIKE over 40% of girls who finish college and 15% of the boys who finish college
So many sex-obsessed commenters… Given their agreed ground rules, all that will happen after Lights Out is some innocent snuggling and a little smooching. Cuddling is good.
Well, According to Her “Ground Rules” after turning off the Lights, the Two of You Will:
1) Dishevel Your OWN Clothes2) Muss Up Your OWN Hair3) Make Curious Ookie-Ookie Noises for 20 Minutes, Pretending You’re Having Primitive, Savage Mambo4) Where Upon Turning the Lights back On, Feeling Unclean and Guilty and Insisting on setting even MORE, STRICTER “Ground Rules.”
Or Luann turns off the lamp, and the room goes totally dark. Then in the next panel we see an 18-year old-Frank, in bed with an 18-year-old Nancy, turning on the bedside lamp and saying “I just had the weirdest dream…”
They aren’t going 3rd base, this strip just proved that. They started freaking out while everything below the belt was still on. It’s very clear they are staying above the belt. I thought the same before this week, but now it’s been clarified. They kiss, sometimes with shirts off. That’s it. . . . . . . ."-———————————I come to a very different conclusion. .We don’t know what was going on when the OOOs and the AAAs were emitted. .We don’t know when the buttoning up began. .Yes, the depths of the pool got ruled out, but Quill’s images of garden hose ~ slip-and-slide ~ squirt gun only titillated Luann. She is ready for more.
Frank was at least five years older than Nancy. That fact was cited by Luann, when Nancy was worried about Luann’s plans to date Stuart.……………..So Nancy tried to convince Luann that marrying an older man was a bad idea? VERY interesting………………………..
At the end of the lecture, the teacher asked if there were any questions.A girl timidly, hesitantly raised her hand.“Yes?”“I don’t understand.”“What don’t you understand?”She waved her hand to encompass the entire class.“Any of it.”.If somebody says a statement is tripe, they don’t have to pick out the tripeish nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions.They can mean the whole kit and caboodle.
Intense arcs [ dramatic / traumatic ones ] here are often interspersed with milder ones, even ones with repetitive themes..Recently the arcs have been rather short, one week or two. Some have been weak IMO and leave me wishing that they would just please end. Others ended up hanging, not dramatically hanging, but abruptly chopped off. .I would not put this arc either category. But I expect it to end now. There is not much left needing to be shown, the point has been made. The NY trip will be in about a month, I’d guess. The Brad / Toni wedding should be in June, but I won’t hold my breath..One of the very best arcs IMO was one where Knute and Crystal first make personal contact. It went on for a very long time, but remained IMO interesting and funny..Another long arc was that relating to Brad and Dirk, it was not much fun, but it was dramatic.
> there was no ’argument", there were statements made purely by inference and without justification.There is no “part” …it was ALL pig intestines.>What makes you so certain that Quill isn’t expecting to work on another holiday show, instead of going to NYC?---Perhaps Quill is in fact not anticipating another such conflict, but suggesting that he could be thinking of it seems to me to be a hypothesis worthy of consideration, but being dismissed a priori</> as “pigs’ intestines”. Could you perhaps elaborate on that not especially enlightening evaluation of this possibility?
There can be no doubt IMO that there is serious tension being shown here between Luann and Quill on the issue of pursuing a career vs “living happily ever-after on love alone”
“completely against Quill’s character to have unprotected sex. Surely the lack of protection would have come up.”.Not everything that happens has to be mentioned.
“here was no ’argument”, there were statements made purely by inference and without justification.".I don’t recall the specifics of this but there are an amazing number of unsubstantiated claims trumpeted here. It is not an insult to identify them as such, even in rude terms.Let me recommend a book by a distinguished Yale Philosopher, Harry G.Frankfurt, called—no kidding—On Bullshit, published by Princeton U. Press. By BS he means a statement which is not a lie because it does not even pretend to be substantiated. One should not say just anything that comes into one’s head.
@Lunaphile: My IPhone doesn’t let me respond by clicking on your entry. But yes – I would love something to happen between Tiff @ Gunth. Two really needy people who would benefit hugely by letting somebody else in…

Luann was close to dumping Quill a year ago, until he came up with the keys to a playroom. She felt that he was too career centered for her taste.
She is focused on “the relationship” alone.

Yet when people discuss something that wasn’t shown, they are castigated for making “unsubstantiated claims”.
