Yeah, I never thought I'd see the day when I would put up with a comic that put emoticons and little faces and things into word balloons and used phrases like "lol" and "hehe" in dialogue, but here we are.

It kinda reminds me of the Thermians in Galaxy Quest, who are constantly smiling even when they're talking about how their race has been genocided or whatever, presumably because they don't know how to do any other kind of human expression. Lends a certain kind of poignancy to it.

Ugh, gently caress, I'm gonna be that guy.

So, I'm gonna go with the assumption that Pasqualo's family is either Italian or has a hard on for Italian nomenclature. Why, you ask? -ini is a somewhat common suffix giving to last names in Italy, specifically families from the Piedmont region. I'll get to that a little later, though.

Pasquale is a perfectly acceptable Italian name. But for the sake of us dirty Americans, a lot of times in fiction characters of Italian decent are given names that end with "o" as that is one of, if not the most, common ending for a male name. Seriously, try to think of an Italian dude's name at random and see how many you can think of that don't end in "o" and that aren't Luigi. Running with this, Pasquale can easily become Pasqualo. But since I'm gonna be that guy, for those too lazy to use wikipedia, Pasquale comes from the noun Pasque and is used to mean "Born on Easter." A pretty fitting name for this dude who causes an apocalypse.

His last name, though, is a bit simpler but also has a loose biblical connection. Triangolo is Italian for triangle and, as is usually done with people moving about, going from Triangolo to Trangolini to Trianglini would be a rather simple road for a name to take over countless decades and having to deal with naturalization during immigration proceedings. Like most surnames, it would denote something about that family; in this case the most appropriate translation would be "of the little triangle."


Basically it's all a lot of :words: to say that his name has about as much meaning as the christian symbolism in Evangelion does.

I too remember lying on a couch in a darkened mahogany-scented campus library that two of my freshman buddies and I had broken into at 4AM and spending three hours blearily debating the meaning of the Particle Man lyrics

No seriously the chocolate used in a lot of candy in the States is cheap as gently caress, the difference is unreal when you get some proper chocolate. It's like American cheese and actual cheese.

Not just cheap, it has poo poo like butyric acid in it for no good reason except "chocolate was once made with spoiled milk so people got used to it that way".

There are many great chocolate brands, both American and foreign. Just make sure it doesn't say Hershey's (or Mars or whatever) on the wrapper and you'll be fine,

Yeah, that's the butyric acid. That's literally what it does, make things taste like vomit. They add it on purpose.

America has plenty of excellent brands of chocolate that don't use HFCS or puke extract. Just don't reach for a Hershey bar as your archetypical example, same as you wouldn't reach for a Budweiser or a Big Mac, and you'll be fine.

:eng101: Soft Gs are only ever before 'e' or 'i' or 'y' (or at least, where one of these vowels ought to be, like in "judgment" which should have been "judgement" because it's built from "judge", but at some point laziness prevailed). Before 'a', 'o', 'u', the 'g' is always hard. On the other hand, before an 'e', 'i', or 'y', it can be hard or soft depending on the word; as a rule of thumb if the word comes from Latin/French roots it'll probably be a soft 'g', but if it comes from old English it'll probably be hard.

I always seem to dream about being late for a bus/train/plane and then my teeth fall out.

I keep having these long, involved airport dreams. Running through terminals, waiting for flights, watching for departure times, waiting in lines, sitting in departure lounges. And then when I finally get on the plane it does bizarre poo poo like flying for hundreds of miles at treetop level / avoiding obstacles / veering off course and nearly crashing, or I'll be sitting in a row of seats that's right at the edge of a gaping hole in the bottom of the plane which is apparently part of the design (there are seats all around the edge and people just sit there reading magazines with the wind whipping all around).

I don't mind flying at all, I quite enjoy it. WTF

To this day my brain likes to remind me of stupid mortifying poo poo I did when I was like ten years old, and I have to start humming tunelessly in a desperate attempt to shut myself up.

The worst part is I know other people would remember these things if I reminded them.
