Oops, my bad. Still, numbers aside, the comic had it basically correct. Which is nasty.

Huh, looks like he edited it. Used to be, there were the two in their original positions, and a third one at e4.

I'm probably going to have to start calling Senators Elf-Lords.

Funny enough, he didn't provide a simple answer for the alt-text one.

What-If #71: Stirring Tea

I'm honestly surprised that Randall didn't find a way to make this into some kind of planet-shattering apocalypse by stirring the tea at a few million RPM.

"ridi-fucking-culous" I guess.

Personally, I think it's... well, see above.

I've heard it's supposed to be in front of the stressed syllable of the word.

I'd go with ri-fucking-diculous.

I'm going to go with "fucking ridiculous" because every other combination sounds, well, ridiculous.

I've always heard it used after the first syllable. in-fucking-credible, un-fucking-believable, and so forth.

Of course, the easy way to avoid the problem is to not drop F-Bombs in the first place. tongue
