wow absolutely no subtlety with Keith getting his way huh Add this to the long list of easy to interpret as a red flag traits. So Keith is visibly irritated by the presence of another man and within about two days he leaves forever, no contact? hmmmmmmm  Incredible.

Steeple 20: Extreme Freaks John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Steeple website John Allison posted:Dame Elaine Stevens has been mentioned occasionally in Scary Go Round, Bad Machinery and Steeple. I think she has only ever been depicted, once, on a television screen, and do not ask me which strip contains this appearance. She’s a bit like Elaine Page, but with a bit of Montserrat Caballé, and a bit of Marje Proops. An all round entertainer, warm, witty and wise (of course).

So there will be no explanation at all about what that guy wanted or why he was pretending to be a vegetarian? It’s just that he got in Keith’s way so Keith made him disappear? And Keith’s reward is that he now has to eat more vegan food that he hates?

Probably, yeah. Modern MW is occasionally uproariously fun, but most of the time has these limp, unsatisfying plotlines that feel as if Karen Moy changed her mind about 15 times while writing it. Wouldn't be surprised if they sit down at the dinner table and there's meat for Keith and Kitty while Sonia has her vegetarian option, either. I mean, that's fine, but a wet fart also.

Untranslatable Fingerpori  OK, so in Finnish "tip" is just ... "tippi". The literal term is "juomaraha", "drink money", but the loan word has replaced it in common usage ages ago. It conjugates to "tipin" in its accusative form (accusative answering the question 'what' or 'who'). The Finnish name for Tweety Bird is Tipi, and it conjugates the same as "tippi". It doesn't have anything to do with the other word, but instead derives from a folksy Finnish term for bird, "tipu" or "tipi". Some etymologists suggest that they were originally used to call chickens (much like you 'ps ps ps' a cat) and stuck. Apparently Norwegian also has a similar term for calling chickens.

Stop pretending you're a saint, Kell, you were just thinking how unfortunate it was that it wasn't Thanksgiving and it wasn't the correct season to eat the goose. Murdstone posted:Mary Worth Wow, gross! Keith didn't even talk to his ex and daughter that Brad was just pretending to get closer to them (just like Keith) or ask them if they wanted him to do anything, he just made the guy disappear on his own. Like, Sonia was especially close to Brad and possibly saw him as a father figure. Anyone in her position would be seriously hurt and asking questions about why he disappeared all of a sudden. I AM GRANDO posted:So there will be no explanation at all about what that guy wanted or why he was pretending to be a vegetarian? It’s just that he got in Keith’s way so Keith made him disappear? It's always been about forcing the daughter to admit that cops like Keith are cool. davidspackage posted:Probably, yeah. Modern MW is occasionally uproariously fun, but most of the time has these limp, unsatisfying plotlines that feel as if Karen Moy changed her mind about 15 times while writing it. I think there's a bigger chance that this ends with Sonia renouncing being a vegan now that Keith told her Brad was a sham all along, then calling him dad and serving a family dinner of 100% beef burgers.  The reason I think that is when Mary reappeared to meddle yet again, she comforted Keith and encouraged him to keep trying to make his ex and daughter see how cool he is. And when talking with Toby about Sonia, they call her an uncooperative child for not wanting to get along with her father. That's practically a seal from the author that we're supposed to cheer for Keith to get his way, or why it glosses over how Sonia's input so much.

Maggie's sister really let her have it. Considering that Demons of Baseball is powered by drama and Planck must transcend humanity to be a demon... yeah, forsaking even his love of Maggie to win and dying on the spot has some real classic older sports manga energy.

Green Intern posted:Really feeling like Planck is going to catch a pop fly from Copper to end the game, and then die standing on the spot. Didn't the Director mention something about creating a miracle for the last match? Maybe he plans to have Planck pitch against Copper Ma and Planck would use the ~Ultimate Technique~ they talked about, of beaning someone directly at the head. Doomykins posted:Maggie's sister really let her have it. Are we sure he forsook Maggie and he's not just planning to throw the match at the last second? Because when May decided to just sit in the stands rather than drag Maggie directly to the Demons' area so she can talk to Planch, I groaned and thought May beefed it right when she was almost at the finish line.

I'm making a prediction, I have no idea what will happen. Planck is loopy as hell and either resigned to do.. something, crazy with fever, and we'll see if he sacrifices the team and his self respect for a girl he lost years ago. Or did he!? Is Planck about to own Copper Ma so hard he gets Maggie and a stepson!? Anything could happen! Demons rules and has kept me on the edge of my seat for awhile.
