It's really not that bad if you're familiar with the measurement. Most people are going to know how much their own vehicle can hold, and just based off that, it's pretty easy to guess that 25 gallons is going to be way too much for something that size. Really, the biggest problem was that you might not know if the vehicles they mentioned are a car or a truck. That being said, it's still a bullshit puzzle because what if the guy filled up some gas cans too.

Mr. Squishy posted:The answer to those, and all other questions of missing strips, is that posting a strip every day is boring and unrewarding. This is absolutely the truth.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann, as promised, is dumb. The most annoying thing about this storyline apart from the usual blandness is that when you're moving to another country you can't just loving buy a plane ticket and be gone the next day without even telling your friends! Moving to another country requires some work even if you're a Gunther with no life and living with your mother. When I moved out of Finland it took about a month to get all the visas, sell the car, give away all my stuff that didn't fit in a backpack, cancel all the rent/insurance/internet/newspaper/whatever contracts and subscriptions I had, and then there's about a million other things that you don't realize you have until you need to get rid of everything. At the very least you need to get some vaccinations and those don't happen overnight either.

I've been at a bar with a four hour long "happy hour" before. I was quite happy afterwards. I think it's just a name that gets used without much thought to its original meaning. If you called it something other than "happy hour" people wouldn't know what the gently caress was up. "After-work-pre-date-cheap-drink-time" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Plus if we were back in the middle ages an "hour" would just be however the gently caress long it seemed like a longish thing usually took to take.

Juliet Jones   Phantom Classic   Radio Patrol I got behind last week, too, so we missed about a week of these. What happened was the cops came around the bar asking where they could find "Birdie," the dude who bought the fur coat. Of course, they didn't know that the barkeep is the guy who sold Birdie the stolen coat in the first place. As soon as the cops leave, the barkeep sends his goons to Birdie's house to pick Birdie up and bring him back to the bar to rough him up or whatever so he doesn't talk. The goons meet Birdie's wife instead.   Rip Kirby   Big Ben Bolt What we missed was more boxing. Irish Dude threw his right even though it hurt a bunch and took Ben Bolt by surprise. Bolt got all pissed off because Irish Dude's right shoulder is supposed to be broken or something. The fight continuted on.

Moving to another country requires some work even if you're a Gunther with no life and living with your mother. Worse yet, it's not like he's just going to Peru to hang out with his girlfriend and see the local tourist attractions. He's planning to work in a clinic. If he wanted to work in the medical field in the US he'd have to be current on a variety of vaccinations, but he's planning to go to a foreign country all full of exotic bacteria his immune system hasn't gotten the chance to meet yet. Hope he's not expecting to drink the water! You know what the CDC recommends you get vaccinated for before heading to Peru? Hep A and typhoid at the very least. Depending on where you plan to be or what you plan to do, they also recommend Hep B, malaria, yellow fever, and loving rabies (admittedly likely only a concern if the clinic Gunther plans to visit is veterinary in nature). Some of these, notably the hepatitis vaccines, have to be done in a series with each booster weeks to months apart. Because malaria tends to like to hang out for a while, malaria pills have to be started before you leave, taken regularly the entire time you're abroad, and continued for a little while after you get home. None of these diseases are a good time. I talked to a guy who had survived malaria. He said that when he was sick, all he could do was lie in bed. He didn't even have the energy to wish for death, nor could he muster the strength to hope he lived. Gunther's whole story arc with Rosa has been about how he's too uptight and timid and needs to just be crazy and let his hair down and do things on a whim sometimes. But a trip to the third world should be thoroughly planned out. Or, at the very least a little bit planned out. I guess it's possible to just show up at the airport with a passport, a plane ticket, and a growing sense of dread, but it's a horrible idea. Gunther is going to die in Peru.

Julet Esqu posted:Gunther is going to die in Peru. I would support this plot twist. Luann going Funky Winkerbean on us and killing/ruining the lives of most of the young adult/underage cast would be amazing. And since this is Luann, Tiffany and the other "villains" will probably make it out unscathed, though the child that those two protagonists hate and abuse whenever they take care of her would probably be an unfortunate casualty.

Tiggum posted:I'm not confused, the joke just doesn't work. If the term "happy hour" had to be changed because of truth in advertising rules then the "hour" part would have to be changed as well as the "happy" part. If you just change the "happy" to something else but still keep it multiple hours then you're not making the term accurate, which is the whole premise of the joke, so it doesn't work. You are thinking way the gently caress too hard about ensuring that the joke remains logical in all aspects and conforms to OSHA and ISO-9000 standards. Next you'll quibble that chickens can't cross roads or something.
