The biggest problem is that the US is, well, kinda big.

A lack of convenient charging stations will make people reluctant to buy electric cars, but a lack of electric cars on the roads will make people reluctant to invest in building electronic charging stations.

I can understand swamped, but seriously? FreeBirds was twice as swamped, and they got it right the first time, even to the point of asking if we wanted it mixed up before it got wrapped. Even better was one of the crew remembered us from visiting years ago.

Being in Central Florida has only given me the Chipotle's experience and I have never seen them layer it in any way other than bottom to top so it is even in the wrap. I can't imagine how you could do it any other way.Jabberwonky wrote:I actually haven't' had a Chipotle's experience yet, but my first time at a Freebird's was most excellent.

Exactly. It was like being an archaeologist, uncovering the different layers...OMG the large amounts of fail in my meal that day. I am hoping to have another FreeBirds Day so we can purge it from our trip data.Jabberwonky wrote:I actually haven't' had a Chipotle's experience yet, but my first time at a Freebird's was most excellent.

On the subject of FreeBird's, my son gave a young gal there a laugh and half. As anyone that has visited there knows, they make very loaded burritos that are cleanly wrapped, and encourage you to make foil creations. My son made "thorny flowers" and took my foil and made two "phasers".
He asked the girl if she "got it", and after quite a bit of laughing, she put his creations in a place of honour on one of the FreeBirds window boxes.
If you did not get it, the creations were "Phasers"(Guns) and "thorny flowers"(Roses). He then threw 'em up(which in College Station is a bit more amusing than pretty much anywhere else).
(For those unfamiliar, Texas A&M (Aggies) have a 'friendly' rivalry with University of Texas(UT), who has a mascot that's a Longhorn steer. While for metal fans throwing up 'devil horns' will raise a few eyebrows, for Aggies, it's a bit different meaning.).
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Yup. College Station. Originators of the Freebirds restaurants. Sort of the Texas hipsters reply to Starbucks.
Good food, but I've NEVER been fond of the attitude. I'd rather go to Amy's Ice Cream.

Even if it were at a higher resolution, that cover doesn't match any of the books in Paul's Lulu store. Is this a lost collection of Wapsi Square comics?Mark N wrote:The blurry image should be a real selling point.

Re: More Stuff
Pablo did publish a collection of strips prior to the one on Lulu. It was heavily abridged, if I recall - but then again, I've never seen it physically.

Re: More Stuff
It occurs to me that the rapist who goes after Castela is one I could feel some small amount of sympathy for.
(But only a very small amount, and only because the immediate consequences would be so unexpected. I'd have no objection to the same immediate consequences being normal.)

I think if anyone even tries to do that to Castela, he or she (have to be fair now), would find themselves on the wrong end of a Japanese tentacle rape nightmare.

She does have nice feet, though.
