I think Atsali's use of Brussel Sprouts is simply a euphemism for B.S.!Dave wrote: Also, the minicabbage is more commonly spelled "Brussels sprouts" rather than "Brussel sprouts". I don't think I've ever heard it used as a curse before, although many children do curse it.

Y'know, I gotta say, I like the bear twins and all, but what Nadette just did kinda makes me hate her, whether it was involuntary or what. Just I really like Cricket and that look on her face in the last panel breaks my heart... :( Yes Cricket is in shock but Nadette has just done her a huge favor....

Re: Support for Grayson 2014-03-26
It is sad that this type of atavistic behavior is still prevalent but it is almost criminal that the school administration condoned it by not taking decisive action against the bullies. I was also very disappointed that both Paul's announcement and the Facebook page were totally devoid of the identi...

Re: For Jill 2013-10-17
I just had a thought (yeah, it happens). What if Tar was the manifestation of the guilt Jet felt for the death of her parents? I doubt Tar existed before the crash which means he was born out of the crash. The rapist may or may not have violated Jet prior to the crash but in either case the strong a...

So mean Monica isn't mean at all, she just let the tar suffer from its own worst fears and consequences of its own actions. . . . I think I have to disagree with the crowd here. Monica did not just " let the tar suffer from its own worst fears" but took the initiative to bring those fears...

Yes, I'm reading it as if Georgette's looking for, needing, the twelve-year-old girl from the plane crash. It kinda ties in with missing "that earthy bonding" with her grandpa. Though apparently she was ten when she spent time with him, not twelve ... so yeah, my current reading still lea...

This is not making sense. Although it would have been heart wrenching to leave the kids at the orphanage, doesn't their adoption now put them in danger of being "executed on the spot"? Since Mr Meadows would probably have a hard time getting past child protection services, I suspect that t...

Since this is a reduced drama weekend and I suspect there are more than a couple of puzzle fans here, I suggest taking a look at a challenge posted by the author of Sandra and Woo to celebrate his 500th strip. The challenge is to decrypt a Voynich-like tome he created. There is even a significant ca...

Paul, I'm not trying to be a grammar cop here but as written you have an incomplete sentence in panel one and it muddies the story.
Did you mean to say?
"I brought you and your Mexican counterpart here as official, well-informed, concerned observers."

Once they've grown together they become one individual with cells having an interesting DNA distribution. Katherine is just Katherine. As strange as it may ...

Why assume temporary? Kath stated she found it in the registry, not a buffer or other temp location.Timotheus wrote:Maybe it's a temp file and no one has been able to either save it permanently or finish the action, so it just sits there waiting for the next command that never comes.

The Anasazi spoke modern English?

When the Anasazis get revitalized may...
