Right Behind You 2013-02-22
Atsali doesn't think of "down" as "out" or "safe", apparently.
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

Atsali is a bird; to her, "up" is safe.

I'm letting some of Kath's Southern Iowa side show in her lingo. ^_^
Re: Right Behind You 2013-02-22
"We're going to get"? An Iowa-ism for "get going" or "get in there"? It's a turn of phrase I don't think I've ever heard before (west-coast-transplanted Philadelphian that I am).Wapsi wrote:I'm letting some of Kath's Southern Iowa side show in her lingo. ^_^

If it's a huge round rock rolling down towards them Speilberg is going to sue.
I wonder if Kath is going to show up in tight fitting black leather carrying a whip before this is over?

Yeah, I thought it was a typo at first, too. It makes her sound cuter now that I know it was intentional.

Given the circumstances I'm going to let all linguistic lapses have a pass for this strip. Using perfect English grammar would not make sense given the level of stress involved. In fact I would not be surprised at all to hear (read) incomplete phrases, fragments, or single words that don't make much sense at all.

It is a regional usage. We're gonna get. Means RUN. Make Tracks. Scoot. Often used by grandma towards young kids by simply saying 'Git." Equally bad was 'Feets do you stuff!" or "Skedaddle".Dave wrote:"We're going to get"? An Iowa-ism for "get going" or "get in there"?

Heh. Nice cliff hanger. Gotta wait all weekend to find out what "that" is.

The Texas equivalent is also "git!" or "go on, git!"--mayhap your grandma is from around them parts?zachariah wrote:It is a regional usage. We're gonna get. Means RUN. Make Tracks. Scoot.

That could make her more interesting to some of the men she meets. In the past she's not really been sure what to do with male attention when she gets it... But she can't do without the hat; an adventuring archeologist needs a good hat.zachariah wrote:I wonder if Kath is going to show up in tight fitting black leather carrying a whip before this is over?

Re: Right Behind You 2013-02-22
Reminds me of the Lost in Space (1998) movie:
Major West: I'm going to try to break us out of the atmosphere.
John Robinson: No, we don't have enough core material for that.
Major West: Well, maybe if we catch one of the thermal...
John Robinson: No, it won't work. I *know*. We have to go... down. Through the planet as she's breaking up. We can use the planet's gravity...
Major West: What?
John Robinson: To throw us ut the other side and back into space!
Major West: That's insane!
John Robinson: I don't have time to argue.

It's one of the kachinas! Unfortunately it's ten feet tall and really angry!
I just hope it's not a spider though. Katherine said she's terrified of them.

Re: Right Behind You 2013-02-22
Well, I'm from PA, and I've heard and used 'get' in that way so often that I didn't realize that it was a colloquialism. I didn't know that there was a "problem" until the comments section. Of course I'd be very hesitant to correct any language usage after the dislocated shoulder "reducing" fiasco. I also like scram and amscray. Of course to me, there is a difference between written English and spoken English. The comic is a representation of spoken English in written form, so all bets are off anyway; have you listened to the way people talk today!? Don't get me started on the texting abbreviations.

Judging from the look on Kath's face in the last panel of yesterday's strip and her pointing at whatever it is coming at them, I would have to say this:
*sings*
Leo G. Carrol,
Was over a barrel,
When Tarantula took to the hills!!!
Heh.
*drops a ripe, fuzzy loxceles reclusa egg sack into the pun jar... never mind that it's five inches across... nothing to see here...*

Re: Right Behind You 2013-02-22
Ahhh!! Now I get it! If it had been spelled "git" I probably would have recognized the slang. Spelled correctly, I assumed "get" was left missing it's follow up word, "out."zachariah wrote:It is a regional usage. We're gonna get. Means RUN. Make Tracks. Scoot.
