Well, I usually don't think of that particular pair of adjectives being used with that particular noun... let alone with that particular grin :twisted:

I think Berdine is getting a bit of her own back, in return for a certain event involving a few bars of a Siren's song and a quick bath in the ocean... :lol:

I don't know why but Abby's response in panel three reminded me of this...



Maybe not what she said, but you have to winder if that's where she was going with it...

Poor Atsali and Nadette...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

I think it is more along the lines of

Seems like an appropriate, if elaborate, turn of phrase.
Atsali really is going to have to come to terms with her sexuality at some point though. Species reputation or not, her obsession with projecting an image of virginal chastity has gotten to be pathological. Chemically suppressing one's libido also seems like something more appropriate to a Victorian oppression story than something healthy for a developing teen.

Beg to disagree. I think Abbie knows exactly what the phrase means, 'cause her grin is saying very much the same thing!

Atsali doesn't seem very relaxed . . . can't imagine why? :lol:

. . .

I wonder if this is general knowledge, or if Berdine specifically put Abbie up to this?

Atsali needs to learn that the way to handle that is to just smile enigmatically . . .

Not exactly equal in any way though. Berdine's embarrassment was only between the three of them and no one else knew.

This is possibly gonna turn into a school wide talking point in which people think they did the you know what. BIG difference.

Coming to terms is one thing. Possibly the whole school thinking her and Nadette did the do when they really didn't is something else entirely.

well Berdine may have mentioned that Atsali and Nadette didn't get home last night... and gossips just assumed the naughty!!

Back in high school, my reply to that would have been, "Well, everyone thinks we've done it , so we might as well."

I'm afraid I have to agree with Andre the giant quoters here... Cheap/gaudy and mischievous don't really fit the bill here.

They might fit Sarge, but not Atsali, even with the randy rumors flying about.

Magnificently seductive minx would work better, and they would definitely perform the essential function of rumors: getting it all backwards. Atsali's not the one who makes the moves. She usually doesn't even catch the moves either, but that's beside the point.
