“I’m going out with her tomorrow, she said she had some errands to run.”
“That’s a date?”
“What’s the difference? You know they way I work, I’m like a commercial jingle. First it’s a little irritating, then you hear it a few times, you hum it in the shower, by the third date it’s ‘By Mennen!’.”
Because it’s not possible that her character has depth that only Walky, as her brother, would know about, right?
There’s emphasis on the word definitely, so I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
But he said it with such a completely straight face, and the emphasis also works if he’s serious too. Given that Walky seems to sass Sal about her character flaws at every opportunity, he could be griping.
Then again, it’s Billie he’s talking to, and Billie demands sarcasm for her ridiculous high school pecking order obsessions, so I’m not sure either.
Billie is incorrect in thinking that’s why Sal’s doing it, and Walky’s like ‘Uh, yeah, sure, that’s why she’s doing it’ because he recognizes that is wrong but sees little point in arguing with Billie. It’s not that she’s trying to appear cool, she’s trying to be left alone.
Okay yeah, that’s much more likely than what I said. However I would still like to see some hidden character depth from her in this chapter…
It seems like the perfect setting for it too. 🙂
Well, my ears are not prehensile, so I’m not sure what part they’d play, and walking around with my arms held up to my face all day would be both awkward and tiring.
To those who think Walky was being serious, I remind you of that joke you’ve probably already heard, which I have modified to fit here, in the form established in posts above. Walky is being sarcastic. He’s mocking Billie’s jealousy because he’s (mostly) a good brother and he doesn’t like that Billie is badmouthing Sal to him behind Sal’s back.
There’s a hyperlink in that post, on the word ‘here’. Apparently you can’t trust web formatting to make these things obvious for you nowadays. Darn young’uns messing up my internet with their “default hyperlink fonts”. I remember the days when a hyperlink was a hyperlink: blue until you clicked, purple once it was clicked. I’m not sure if ‘those days’ were reflective of technology at the time or my browsing habits at the time, but I miss those days.
Speaking of which, it’s not often that most people on the way to the beach are wearing jackets. Normally optimal beachgoing weather and optimal jacket-wearing weather are mutually exclusive.
Well I would almost bet money (a nickel of course) that she doesnt own any other pants >.>. As evidenced by the fact that she has a habitual problem of answering the door (and walking around campus apparently) in her panties o.O.
Ugh. I have a brother in law who reminds me of Sal. Except he thinks he is a Johnny Cash clone and too cool for everyone he meets. He wears the mirrored sunglasses and the fedoras all the time (although fedoras are fucking awesome…when not used for evil and douchebaggery). I really just wanna smack him and be like, GET A FUCKING JOB ALREADY. It would be different if he did sit at home on his ass all the time and expect my sister to do everything short of wipe his ass >.>. /end rant
also can ah get a spellcheck on the douchebaggery please? I don’t wanna go around misspelling made up words and look like a total idiot now do I? ^.^
Well, the “douche part is spelled right, as is “bag.” The rest looks pretty consistent with spelling rules for English. Given that the rules themselves aren’t always consistent, and that probably at least half of the English language isn’t consistent with the spelling rules, I’d say you’re doing better than most.
Only problem is I think your brother in law is interpreting Sal’s actions the same way Billie is. Sal has a reason for the things she does and we’ll presumably find out what it is in 3 years.
They are mirrored sunglasses. She is looking at you. This means that what you see is your reflection.
This was not intended as a fat joke, but it could certainly be interpreted that way. I would like to point out that I have no idea what physical form any other poster takes, and I’m not even 100% certain of my own. I’m sort of blue-ish with a white squiggle, from what I can see.
She has to ask Walky who looks more emotionally detached, because she’s not sure anymore. She’s not sure because she can’t see what anybody looks like.
This would be because she removed the glasses she needs to see in order to put the sunglasses on instead.
Loading ...
Nono, Billie. At NIGHT.
How very 80s.
You will respec’ her a-thor-itay!
“Psst, Billie… We’re riding the bus… AT NIGHT.”
Her future’s so bright she’s gotta wear shades. B)
Something tells me Billie is not studying nuclear science.
But does she love her classes?
Don’t know about classes, but she sure likes her glasses.
The real question is whether or not her crazy teacher wears dark glasses.
“No $#!+, THERE SHE WAS…RIDING THE MIDNIGHT BUS IN A HALF DRUNKEN STUPOR WHEN SUDDENLY… she…sees…HER!”
Aha! Someone got it!
Don’t switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no!
And yet the only thing that goes through my head is “Wow, Sal would look amazing in those!”
Damn straight they would.
with the popped collar, stylin’
Just as long you don’t make stupid puns while you take them off.
YEAHHHHHHHHH
Look at her emotion… It’s DETACHED!
Look at her seating arrangement… It’s DETACHED!
YEEEAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Sal’s pantsuit… It’s ATTACHED!
Looks like… She got her PANTS ON!
YEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
She’ll punch you so hard, your retina…it’s detached!
Oh! Umm – YEEEAAAHHHHHHHH!
This is one meme I just cannot jump on.
NAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Not bad, but you need a cheesy pun to go with the sunglasses.
More disinterested than thou.
Sal, if you wanted to be antisocial, why did you come along?
Stop pretending and go make friends. D=<
What’s the point of being all anti-social if no one sees you doing it?
No, no, this is Sal we’re talking about, not Billie. She doesn’t need to be an attention whore, attention just naturally flocks to her.
Also, Walky, how many statements about pants have you made in this chapter so far?
As many times as he can possibly manage.
“I’m going out with her tomorrow, she said she had some errands to run.”
“That’s a date?”
“What’s the difference? You know they way I work, I’m like a commercial jingle. First it’s a little irritating, then you hear it a few times, you hum it in the shower, by the third date it’s ‘By Mennen!’.”
Not you.
Emotionally detached or emotionally disturbed? Your paranoid delusions are showing, Billie.
“Anything you can do, I can do better!”
“I can do anything better than you!”
“No you can’t!”
“Yes I can!”
No you can’t!
“YES I CAN, YES I CAN, YES I CAAAAN!”
*tweet*
Bull.
Any douche you can douche, I can douche better! I can douche any douche BETTER THAN YOU!!!
C-C-COMBO BREAKER?
Sorry Billie, you need to either be Tom Cruise or wear a red bow tie in order for mirrored sunglasses to be effective.
Billie can be Maverick and Sal can be Iceman.
Only so long as they don’t lose the homoerotic subtext!
That’s why I cast them that way! 😀
But… but Top Gun isn’t gay! Yusei told me so!
You clearly never saw the gay chemistry between Maverick and Iceman then.
(Psst that’s the joke – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv5Ox1YaZnk)
OH I SEEEEEEE!
Top Gay err Gun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8WZbDcex5k
Groovy Vid!
So Jason can wear sunglasses, right…?
Bowties are cool.
The readers, Billie. While we watch your floundering attempts to be cool. 😀
For some reason I half expected (hoped, let’s be honest) that Sal was just going to skip the whole pants thing this entire arc.
That is somewhat disappointing.
It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and Billie’s all out of gum.
She reminds me of Duke Nukem, is what i’m saying.
“DAmn… I’m looking good!” 😀
Speaking of which, who’s your avatar today?
Red hair, blue eyes, twintails, glasses… damn that cutie is pushing all of my buttons.
Would you believe Asuka from Eva?
“Hail to the Queen, baby.”
“Hell, I’d still hit it.”
Billie’s got designer shades that hide her face.
She thinks she’s cooler than Sal.
Is Walky being sarcastic there? Does he actually think she has intent other than appearing antisocial, or is he just stating the obvious?
Because it’s not possible that her character has depth that only Walky, as her brother, would know about, right?
There’s emphasis on the word definitely, so I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
But he said it with such a completely straight face, and the emphasis also works if he’s serious too. Given that Walky seems to sass Sal about her character flaws at every opportunity, he could be griping.

My good Slender (oh noes, a reference!) man,
Billie is incorrect in thinking that’s why Sal’s doing it, and Walky’s like ‘Uh, yeah, sure, that’s why she’s doing it’ because he recognizes that is wrong but sees little point in arguing with Billie. It’s not that she’s trying to appear cool, she’s trying to be left alone.
Okay yeah, that’s much more likely than what I said. However I would still like to see some hidden character depth from her in this chapter…
It seems like the perfect setting for it too. 🙂
His sarcasm was directed at Billie’s insinuation that Sal’s antisocial behavior was to get attention and try and look cool, I think.
You suurrrrrrre showed her, all right.
She can always try to freak Sal out by pretending to be a cop. 😛
….maybe with an axe?
AXE COP!
Walky knows his sister, don’t think he’s being sarcasic.
I couldn’t help myself:

You are a god among men.
Oh perhaps, Vabolo: “Look who’s emotionally — detached — NOW!”
And I couldn’t help myself:
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9782/terriblepun.png
In retrospect, I probably should have.
I actually decided to jump in on this one:
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7346/billieyeeeaaahhhhhh.png
Oh gods, does this mean it’s going to become a meme?
[facepalm]
Quick, somebody get it to 4chan. If it meme-ifies Walky can get more ad traffics. More monies = more swag (mass produced Dina hats, perhaps?)
This is so much better with that gravatar.
Does that mean this will become canon soon?
I think this pretty much established that:
http://itswalky.tumblr.com/post/13192737310/it-was-revealed-that-the-dumbing-of-agers-are
I was referring to them burying Walky in the sand. Burying him in the sand is fun, right? (shit-ton of sand in your hair and ears not withstanding)
Awww thats so cute how Billie’s jelousy can show so easily. <{:]D
Dude, Billie, *Walky* just put a sarcastic shot right over your head. That’s just pathetic.
I bet Billie’s got a good face for mirrored aviators. Not everyone can pull them off.
Why? Are they held on with super glue? O_o
How else would you get them to stay on your face?
Arms and ears.
Well, my ears are not prehensile, so I’m not sure what part they’d play, and walking around with my arms held up to my face all day would be both awkward and tiring.
Hmm… This would explain why my glasses keep falling off while I’m at work…
Why’s she gotta compete with everyone? :I
dat sal
After how much she drank at the party, I’m surprised it took her this long to put on the sunglasses.
emotionally something…
Pants
Are they prescription mirrored sunglasses? Because blindly stumbling off the bus is not cool.
Yeah, I was gonna say, that trick doesn’t work if you wear *regular* glasses and you gotta take ’em off first.
Suddenly “Danger Zone” is stuck in my head.

I’m not on your lawn, you crazy old goat!
*snrk* That was pretty good.
Sal needs to diversify her wardrobe. Motorcycle gear on a bus/at the beach is just not appropriate.
Speaking of which, it’s not often that most people on the way to the beach are wearing jackets. Normally optimal beachgoing weather and optimal jacket-wearing weather are mutually exclusive.
Well I would almost bet money (a nickel of course) that she doesnt own any other pants >.>. As evidenced by the fact that she has a habitual problem of answering the door (and walking around campus apparently) in her panties o.O.
Did someone at least pay Dina’s bus fare or was she forced to pay her own?
bus drivers don’t check under everyone’s shoes for more passengers.
Ugh. I have a brother in law who reminds me of Sal. Except he thinks he is a Johnny Cash clone and too cool for everyone he meets. He wears the mirrored sunglasses and the fedoras all the time (although fedoras are fucking awesome…when not used for evil and douchebaggery). I really just wanna smack him and be like, GET A FUCKING JOB ALREADY.

*didn’t sit at home on his ass* argh typos
And you were worried about the spelling on douchebaggery.
Sal isn’t emotionally detached. She’s suffering from a shortage of Animal Magnetism.
Is that… a far-off mountain reflected in her glasses?
They are mirrored sunglasses. She is looking at you. This means that what you see is your reflection.
This was not intended as a fat joke, but it could certainly be interpreted that way. I would like to point out that I have no idea what physical form any other poster takes, and I’m not even 100% certain of my own. I’m sort of blue-ish with a white squiggle, from what I can see.
Yes, Mt. Specular Highlight.
Crap. All this time I was cool, and didn’t even know it!
You know what would REALLY put her in her place and make you look emotionally detatched? If you went over there and started making out with her!
. . .
What?
Watch out Guys, we’re dealing with a bad ass over here.
She has to ask Walky who looks more emotionally detached, because she’s not sure anymore. She’s not sure because she can’t see what anybody looks like.
This would be because she removed the glasses she needs to see in order to put the sunglasses on instead.
Billie…has FOUND her Salvation!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
Are you implying that Billie is a Hufflepuff?
I was making a pun. SAL-vation. Do you get it? XD
Retinally detached, maybe.
