Billie’s been watching that awful movie with Maculay Culkan(sp?) and three thieves that stole a bunch of rare coins that I cannot remember the name of.
No, ‘Hone Along’ is that slasher movie where the villain is always shown sharpening his knives while musing about how lonely he is and why no one will sharpen his knives with him.
It’s the one where Danson is faking being a real father to his son just to stay close enough to get the loot, then in a “surprise twist” decides that the little kid was worth more than the money… Now if I could remember the name.
How do you bury somone in the sky? Do you buring them and shoot the chunk of land you buring them in into the sky? Or do we have some sort of cloud coagulation technology I am not aware of?
Kinda reminds me of the story about the Alaska fisherman who needed to get rid of a couple barrels of fish guts. He parked them at the end of a pier where the eagles could get them. Eagles will scavenge rather than hunt…
Cut to the town covered with fish guts that dripped out of the eagles claws as they scooped up a claw full and flew off to eat. They aren’t the tidiest eaters in the animal kingdom.
I went to one. “Dry campus” is code for “Yeah, we all know you’re drinking anyways, but we’ll be stricter on you if you get caught. Not that we’ll really try to catch you.” I would love to know what the administration pretended the fraternities were doing every weekend.
Well…some of us actually do a fair amount of volunteer work on the weekends. I can’t speak for every guy in a fraternity, but there’s plenty who don’t drink and do community service. Or who do drink and do community service.
In a couple of unfortunate cases, at the same time. But yeah, nobody actually puts much effort into catching alcohol use on a dry campus.
You have a point, if Ruth was as inhumane and Ruthless as Billy sees her, she woulda just turned in Billy. This make me think Ruth is just doing out some REALLY tough love.
Another thing is that there must be a reason the rest of staff lover her.
But the again working with someone and working under them can be two very different experiences.
Ruth can’t actually turn Billie in.
She caught Billie how? By sneaking into her room when she wasn’t there. Just because RA’s have keys and physically *can* do that does *not* make it allowable.
Yes, Billie would get in trouble. So would Ruth, probably more seriously.
Billie is just begging to have the password viciously beaten out of her.
And it’s obviously a bluff because Billie knows she’s not spending Friday night in her dorm room at her laptop.
Dry Campus, huh? Rough. Billy should have gone to the same school as I did, Western Michigan “Impromptu drunken block party on campus every weekend” University.
IUB wasn’t fully dry when I went there. I don’t know if Ashton-Weatherly has changed in the last 10 years, but I stayed there as the over-21 mixed sex dorm, and we had some damn parties, I’m here to tell ya.
Granted, even the campus mall cops were clueless as to A-W’s wet status. They once tried busting us for having MY 12 year old single malt out at a Halloween party. They were set straight before they did any real damage.
Considering who Billie is I’d say she was bluffing, but there is the slight possibility that Amazi-girl does her tech support so Ruth might want to think about backing down.
I googled it, and IU is not actually a dry campus, which would imply that no alcohol is allowed anywhere on the university property (even for professors, let alone RAs). However, http://www.rps.indiana.edu/faq.cfml undergraduate dorms are a ‘restricted area’ meaning you cannot have alcohol even if you are over 21. I assume that this also applies to everyone regardless of age or position.
“If I don’t enter a password on my laptop every eight hours, this photo is set to mail itself to everyone in this building” is kind of a nerd line, Billie.
Dry campus or no, freshmen are underage for drinking. Where I went to school, it pretty much functioned on a “yeah we know most of you have booze in your rooms, just don’t let us SEE you with it” basis.
The continuing issue here is an RA abusing her power to go into any student’s room without justifiable cause. Justifiable cause mostly being “I locked my key in my room” much of the time.
Ruth really has no one else but herself to blame lol She pushed Billie into this by constantly lording herself over her. I might be mistaken but it seemed to me that Ruth kept pushing Billie:
Stealing her cheerleading uniform and then taking a letter off with threats to do so to the rest of the letters.
Now we has a standoff… who shall break first I wonder…
Is anyone else reading the “and several, several others” in second panel as if she was saying “and many, many others” and finding it way more amusing than they should?

COMBO BREAKER!
Billie’s been watching that awful movie with Maculay Culkan(sp?) and three thieves that stole a bunch of rare coins that I cannot remember the name of.
It’s “Hone Along.” But I really think she’s been watching “Get Smart.” It’s more her speed than all that other stuff.
C’mon, you expect Billie to think on the level of an eight-year old?
No, ‘Hone Along’ is that slasher movie where the villain is always shown sharpening his knives while musing about how lonely he is and why no one will sharpen his knives with him.
BECAUSE HE HAS KILLED THEM ALL!
Not Home Alone, that was of two thieves robbing houses at Christmas. I think this movie also starred Ted Danson.
It’s the one where Danson is faking being a real father to his son just to stay close enough to get the loot, then in a “surprise twist” decides that the little kid was worth more than the money… Now if I could remember the name.
Blast!
Billie’s been watching some Canadians, eh?
Shit just got real.
Unfortunately it missed the toilet
…and hit the fan, instead.
it happens…
…when you stick your arse in the air.
… and wave it like you just don’t care.
…my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
o_O
WTF did I just read?
Billie’s not going to take it.
NO, she ain’t gonna take it.
She’s not gonna take it anymore~
Don’t underestimate Billie’s 1337 hacking skills.
She’s only got 1337? I’ve got over 9000…
1337(leet) beats meme anyday.
but I was j0k!n9
t00 b4d
Non-specific action figure approves.
OVER 9000!!!??!?!?
Oh, well that’s nothing to be shouting about.
“It’s… 1006.”
“Really?” “Yeah. Kick his ass, Nappa!” “YAY!”
I thought it was funny. Also, nothing beats the hamminess that is dubbed Vegeta.
Billie, burial, cremation or sky burial?
How do you bury somone in the sky? Do you buring them and shoot the chunk of land you buring them in into the sky? Or do we have some sort of cloud coagulation technology I am not aware of?
It is the former
A sky burial is essentially putting a human corpse on a mountain top, exposing it to the elements and animals (like predatory birds).
I prefer this one out of the three, really…
Often on a platform to avoid most four-footed predators. I really like the idea too, I must say.
Kinda reminds me of the story about the Alaska fisherman who needed to get rid of a couple barrels of fish guts. He parked them at the end of a pier where the eagles could get them. Eagles will scavenge rather than hunt…
Cut to the town covered with fish guts that dripped out of the eagles claws as they scooped up a claw full and flew off to eat. They aren’t the tidiest eaters in the animal kingdom.
This also involves cut the body up into smaller pieces for the birds.
In Tibetan the practice is called bya gtor (བྱ་གཏོར་) which means giving alms to the birds.
This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds. Wait, wrong program!
oh snap! Billie’s got the queen in check!
As former King of my highschool chess club, I don’t know how to respond to this…
sadness…at my ignorance. 😛
It’s Calvinball Chess! The Queen escapes using the hyperactive hyperwarp zone!
Obviously, you should go one space in any direction.
I would assume the correct response would be to just slap them up the back of the head. It works sometimes.
Nice accidental Homestuck reference!
Wait, dry campus is a thing?
WHO THE HELL GOES TO A SCHOOL LIKE THA- oh right, Joyce.
I hope they don’t expect you to dry hump, now that would be taking things too far.
Sex at this school is manditorily unsatisfying.
dry humping is one thing, doing the one man tango with no lubrication is another…I’m just now realizing this avatar is getting kind of old
So who do you plan on using with just a bra in your next grav Izzy?
I was thinking of something like…this
that’s not right, must not be updated yet
is it better, yet?
holy moly, now i’m dotty
it was supposed to be this:
https://en.gravatar.com/userimage/13539059/78d5d59ad0ac40657fd64bf00ab0ed02.jpg?size=200
It’s working, you just need to refresh.
I went to one. “Dry campus” is code for “Yeah, we all know you’re drinking anyways, but we’ll be stricter on you if you get caught. Not that we’ll really try to catch you.” I would love to know what the administration pretended the fraternities were doing every weekend.
“Reading the Good Book from Fri ’till Monday,
That’s how the weekend goes.” 😉
Wrong. They obviously pick up litter and volunteer to babysit.
Well…some of us actually do a fair amount of volunteer work on the weekends. I can’t speak for every guy in a fraternity, but there’s plenty who don’t drink and do community service. Or who do drink and do community service.
In a couple of unfortunate cases, at the same time. But yeah, nobody actually puts much effort into catching alcohol use on a dry campus.
At… the same time?
That sounds like the concept for a sitcom episode.
I get the feeling that ruth just wanted to see if billie had proof. If ruth wanted to turn her in, she would’ve already done so.
You have a point, if Ruth was as inhumane and Ruthless as Billy sees her, she woulda just turned in Billy. This make me think Ruth is just doing out some REALLY tough love.
Another thing is that there must be a reason the rest of staff lover her.
But the again working with someone and working under them can be two very different experiences.
Ruth can’t actually turn Billie in.
She caught Billie how? By sneaking into her room when she wasn’t there. Just because RA’s have keys and physically *can* do that does *not* make it allowable.
Yes, Billie would get in trouble. So would Ruth, probably more seriously.
Not to mention, turning her in would not give Ruth the satisfaction of torturing her. She seems to like to play with her food.
She’s going to eat Billie? That’s either scary or hot.
Billie is just begging to have the password viciously beaten out of her.
And it’s obviously a bluff because Billie knows she’s not spending Friday night in her dorm room at her laptop.
Sounds almost as bad as dry t-shirt contests.
That was supposed to be a reply to Yotomoe.
depends what is the size ratio of t-shirt to t-shirt stuffing? How cold is it outside? If inside, is the airconditioning on?
A tight t-shirt contest might not be so bad…
or a half t-shirt contest. maybe even a no t-shirt contest.
Underboobs are awesome, undermoobs, not so much.
Surprised at the lack of “I solemnly swear I am up to no good” style jokes. I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or proud, disapprouded I guess.
Dry Campus, huh? Rough. Billy should have gone to the same school as I did, Western Michigan “Impromptu drunken block party on campus every weekend” University.
So now they’re totally about to make out, right? Right??
I imagine that Ruth will wine-n-dine Billy…although both of those things would probably make her bankrupt.
Make out! Make out now!
Seeing you use dino girl, I half expected you to type ‘Rawr’ at the end.
Rawr?
IUB wasn’t fully dry when I went there. I don’t know if Ashton-Weatherly has changed in the last 10 years, but I stayed there as the over-21 mixed sex dorm, and we had some damn parties, I’m here to tell ya.
Granted, even the campus mall cops were clueless as to A-W’s wet status. They once tried busting us for having MY 12 year old single malt out at a Halloween party. They were set straight before they did any real damage.
First Panel FIXED!
THIS forever and ever.
It’s both a drink and an improvised weapon at the same time.
and sometimes a friend
and sometimes a bitter rival
And sometimes that guy everybody else seems to know you never much cared for personally.
You…have just won the internet.
Everyone else may now go home.
You have nothing! She’s just collecting those empty bottles for recycling!
recycling them into her mouth and out of her bladder
Beer is never bought, only rented.
I thought that was supposed to be tequila.
You brain rents the tequila, but your liver, not so much.
She’s eating glass and pissing it out?!
Look who’s busted now! 😛
Considering who Billie is I’d say she was bluffing, but there is the slight possibility that Amazi-girl does her tech support so Ruth might want to think about backing down.
call 1900-Amazigal
Ruth reminds me of my PM supervisor. This is disturbing.
Your what now?
Prime Minister?
Yes?
Your PMS?
I tip my hat to you, begbert2, as you have just won an internet.
If there were such strict rules about alcohol here in germany, our society would collapse…
Have you seen our news?
(Protip: US society IS collapsing.)
She’s an RA. The rules for her are not the same.
I googled it, and IU is not actually a dry campus, which would imply that no alcohol is allowed anywhere on the university property (even for professors, let alone RAs). However, http://www.rps.indiana.edu/faq.cfml undergraduate dorms are a ‘restricted area’ meaning you cannot have alcohol even if you are over 21. I assume that this also applies to everyone regardless of age or position.
NO PUNCHLINE TO SEE HERE FOLKS, MOVE ALONG.
By which you mean that Ruth doesn’t punch Billie in today’s strip, of course
That too.
Right back atcha!
Kirby!
Oh god, I feel terrible.
Ten bucks says that Ruth’s next line is, “I like you, Billie, you’re a funny gal. That’s why I’ll kill you last.”
Commando!
When are these two just going to admit it, get drunk, and be lovers?
They’re totally each other’s kismesis.
Homestuck has done such wonderful things for the practice of shipping.
Thirteen years ago in another dimension.
“If I don’t enter a password on my laptop every eight hours, this photo is set to mail itself to everyone in this building” is kind of a nerd line, Billie.
Finally! I like when Ruth isn’t so sure of herself.
oooh, excellent counter!
Billie uses BLUFF.
It’s INEFFECTIVE!
*It’s not very effective.
Wack’d uses POKEMON REFERENCE.
It’s not very effective!
I think
“But it failed”
would be what you would use there.
Perhaps, “But it missed!” would work as well?
Wack’d uses SCREW YOU GUYS!
Everyone faints.
“Dry campus.” Culture shock moment for me: British universities basically EXIST to sell quadruple vodka-and-Red-Bulls to confused 18-year-olds.
Dry campus or no, freshmen are underage for drinking. Where I went to school, it pretty much functioned on a “yeah we know most of you have booze in your rooms, just don’t let us SEE you with it” basis.
The continuing issue here is an RA abusing her power to go into any student’s room without justifiable cause. Justifiable cause mostly being “I locked my key in my room” much of the time.
You think Ruth would find the fact that Billie has pictures of Ruth sleeping on her phone to be slightly creepy.
Nothing phases ruthless.
*fazes
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZES
Autocorrect, you Sonuvabongo.
FFS, Ruth & Billie, just make out already!
It’s about damn time M.A.D. made a comeback. I kinda miss the cold war.
I can’t work out if I want them to make out more than I want Billie/Sal.
SHIP ALL THE THINGS
Is it okay if I refer to this ship as ‘Alcoholics’?
Yes.
Ruth really has no one else but herself to blame lol She pushed Billie into this by constantly lording herself over her. I might be mistaken but it seemed to me that Ruth kept pushing Billie:
Stealing her cheerleading uniform and then taking a letter off with threats to do so to the rest of the letters.
Now we has a standoff… who shall break first I wonder…
Is anyone else reading the “and several, several others” in second panel as if she was saying “and many, many others” and finding it way more amusing than they should?
As far as I’m aware, those two phrases mean the same thing.
One of them needs to set up the wireless MasturCam on the other!! Willis!! Can you do animation if needed???
“It’s YOU, all right? I learned it by watching YOU!”
BUSTED!
Heh! Are you willing to take that chance?
