See, cleaning the roaster is gonna change the signature flavor.

My old boss in college told us about this one time be lightly tapped a guy on the shoulder and due tingeing drunk, he fell down some stairs. That is minimum force.

For some reason this reminds me of The Expendables 3, where Rhonda Rousey's character was introduced as a bouncer and when a fight started breaking out, her first action was to escalate it as much as possible, breaking glasses over peoples' heads and the like.

It just bugged me.

I know I'm probably being thick, but I don't get what Eliott is getting all blushy is about. He's indicated that he doesn't throw people through windows, that he uses minimum force. Er... hypothetically he uses minimum force? Is he embarrassed that he actually does tend to throw people through walls?

He's embarrassed that she knows he bounces at all. It's a job that carries a certain connotation (see my post above where Hollywood basically considers "bouncer" as synonymous with "street fighter").

Brun continues being Brun, Elliot continues being Elliot

Fear the power of Brun's stare.

Man, it's been forever since we've heard from Fairy Girl (assuming it's the same one, it could be a different person that likes to dress up as a fairy and run around Northampton. Though I can't imagine there are too many of those.)

She's clearly had her mind altered by the Patriots.

The La-li-lu-le-lo ?!

Obviously Fairy language.

What is this fairy disguise?

How do you know it's a disguise?

I would so watch that.

The competitive ruling out of broken bottles kinda hurt viewership, though.

Well, safety first.

It's probably geek-mandatory to point out that Terry Pratchett did the gag first. (In Going Postal, as I recall.)

Liked Brun's reaction, anyway.

The NBBL (National Bar Brawling League, no relation to the NBL) had a choice between banning the bottles or allowing competitors to wear visible armor to prevent injury. It was a tough loss, but I still believe that the choice was the lesser of two evils, retaining more viewership than the alternative option by preserving the authentic feel of the bar brawls that the League is known for.

YMMV of course - I hear that the opinion is divided depending on how violent your state's bar brawls are known for being. Regardless, I personally appreciate the choice.

Of course, Discworld bar-brawling can afford to get a bit more violent, what with the Igor's ability to reattach severed limbs and such.

You know what I've been thinking about a lot lately? Vicky.

She was Marten's ex, who he moved from California to to North Hampton to be with, but who dumped him like a hot potato without warning. That's always felt like a hanging plot thread, an concluded chapter in Marten's life, that we've never seen him really -deal- with (aside from watching her get hot milk in her face). I feel like, talking to Vicky, like an adult, and *dealing* with is problems with her finally, would be a nice come-full-circle-for-Marten.

Who's this "Martin" guy you're talking about? The only male characters I can remember in this comic are Eliot and Clinton.

What about Dale?

That's our Pintsize! *cue laugh track*

What about the Patriots?

Plot twist: Pintsize is a Metal Gear.

Tai's eyes in the second panel terrify me.

You know, I kind of feel like the Fairy Girl chasing the reindeer chanting like that is... kind of disturbing. Because either even in blatantly a time of emotional distress she's still keeping up the act, or somehow that chanting is so natural that she does it even when panicked, which makes me feel like she might have some wires crossed.

... and by wires crossed, I mean nanomachines, son.
