Thankfully youtube Chinchilla owners have taken the courtesy of documenting this behavior. I find it incredibly strange and wonderous that despite how essential water is to life, it can be dangerous to these cute furry critters. So until the next new strip is posted, here's a video of a Chinchilla rolling around in a bowl of dust like a spaz.

I'd like to ask Chris if he has read any Jack Vance. He seems to have a similar kind of baroque, ironic turn of phrase (which I love in both cases). Vance's writing could also be seen as a celebration of the English language.

Has he gone to a random once a week schedule? His last move was nearly a year ago, wasn't it, and since fanflow as created he posts free stuff on a seemingly random schedule.

It's pretty much always been a random schedule. Lately it's been much more infrequent but he's a married dude with a kid and stuff that pays to write (cookbook, supplementary material for the Dark Horse hardcovers, etc). Okay Onstad, I stuck up for you. Now let me know whether T cold has a peter in his mouth or not please.

Was Phillipe ever shown arriving back? That was the last storyline (that feels like forever ago!) and it chained right into this one. He was on his way back, then bam he's at the midnight typewriter. He seemed to be doing alright for himself, considering!

EndOfTheWorld posted:I don't know about you, but I could go for some morning touches right about now. Yeah you should completely read the Jeeves books, at least a couple of them are free on Feedbooks. I always parsed the anti-hangover drink as being one egg, one healthy spurt steak sauce (if you cannot find HP sauce which is British as hell), one pinch cayenne, add seltzer/club soda until fluid enough.

I always thought it was tomato juice, vodka, egg yolk, salt, pepper, tobasco, and worcestershire (for extra britishness). Basically a bloody mary with an egg. The egg is the important part, as the cysteine within aids in replenishing lost fluids from alcohol's dehydrating effect. Fun fact: known hangover remedies date back to Pliny the Elder, who suggested raw owl eggs and fried canary.

I was once asked if I wanted HP sauce while eating breakfast at a Canadian hotel. I spent six years thinking it stood for "hot pepper" until I saw a bottle of HP Sauce on the shelf at World Market. I was hungover and figured Tabasco could be called something else in Toronto.

I've read a few of Wodehouses's non-Jeeves novels (finished "A Damsel in Distress" last year, which I recommend.) Then, recently, I read Orwell's essay where he defended Wodehouse for making... unfortunate comments while in the mandatory company of Nazis, so that had me thinking about him again. To Barnes and Noble! Wikipedia says these sorts of anti-hangover drinks are enjoyed by the likes of James Bond, Bertie Wooster, Spike Spiegel and Doc Brown. All of whom swear by it. I can't wait for my next hangover! EndOfTheWorld fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Aug 12, 2010 |

Wow, now I'm imagining Ray as Bertie Wooster and Cornelius as Jeeves. "If I may say, sir, the effect of that medallion with your thong-wear is a trifle... disconcerting." Well, I bristled a bit at that. If the ladies didn't want to be getting mad rutty with a cat cold rocking a Speedo, then that was their bally loss. "Dash it, Cornelius, this is what I shall wear!" "Very good, sir."
