Re: Island Party 2014-02-07

Ethanol probably burns in much the same manner as Monica's astral fire, so in all likelihood only Tina would see the excess alcohol being burnt off. Unless Monica was wearing Coppertone sunblock. Given the emission wavelengths of burning cupric salts, this might lead to Euryale declaring, "Wut...

Re: Just Tell Me 2014-02-11

Can't remember many mondegreens I've had over the years--but somehow I do recall one "alternate" version of the Pledge of Allegiance: “I pledge a legion to the flag and to the public for Richard Stands, one naked individual with liver tea and justice for all.” (From a long-ago cartoon--a b...

Re: Forgot how to walk on ice again?

My dad was driving through Georgia one day, with a bit of snow on the roads. He approached a farmer with his tractor at one point, who flagged him down. The farmer offered to pull him up a little hill. For $10. My dad, who grew up in No. Dakota, and lived for 30 years after that in Chicago, smiled, ...

This also implies that sirens are water based paras. This makes me wonder about her father. Her bird form is clearly not a water type.

Many different possible answers. Putting a Bag of Holding into a Portable Hole could cause an explosive rip in the Space-Time continuum. In "Being John Malkovich," Malkovich does enter his own head, and ends in a very strange place.

Highway Departments (at least the Georgia DOT) decide where to put these 13165484842090101506Deer Crossing Sign.svg.hi.png by watching where deer strikes occur with some frequency. That makes sense.
