“I almost tripped over a bleeding guy and there was a lot of yelling. Bleeding guy crawled off somewhere. Someone else got carried off. I may have gone to a riot instead of the party”.
Only part I can’t pin down is how she got there. Thoughts?
Dina recaps the party: “I went to a big house full of strange, intoxicated people. A religious guy quoted the bible, then put something in the drinks. Sex was attempted. Later, there was blood everywhere. No bodies were found.”
“I went to a house full of people clearly on some kind of mind-altering substance. A crazy cultist attempted to perform some kind of sexual ritual with another cultist. He failed, and the rest of the people attempted to convert him into a blood-sacrifice to appease their god for him failing the ritual. Then their obvious high-preistess tried to take control of the sacrifice, but he crawled away.”
One of the few instruments that still functions at twenty below zero. Brass and reed people often looked down on the percussionists, but there’s a point at which only the glockenspiel can carry the parade, a time you realize that the bass drum isn’t just an oversized metronome.
Fun fact: The book and movie Jaws was based on a real event when a River Shark attacked a bunch of kids in New Jersey. River Sharks are considered to be more dangerous than a Great White cuz they’re more Fresh water sharks than anything else but they can also be in salt water.
A strange, frustrated man placed us in rows and interrogated us on various aspects of philosophy, and we were all bound to complete silence, lest a sanction involving the reduction of a final numeral summary would occur.
Technically, she wasn’t kidnapped. She was shanghaied. Or perhaps “swept away by a tide of people”. Doesn’t explain how she stayed with them on the bus, though…
Words cannot contain the shame I feel for just now, at half past one in the morning, piecing together that ‘hey, the two girls Walkyverse Mike’s had a history with are roomies’.
Okay. I know a lot of things in the history of the universe have been called the greatest thing EVER. Some of them have even been called so by ME. They can’t all be the greatest thing.
But Kernanator? This idea might just BE the greatest thing ever. I was planning to buy a DoA book anyway, but if it included Dina daily summaries, I would buy it EVEN HARDER.
A couple of G’s G’s unless you’ve had to live it an R and an E Even I am careful with it
An I and an N, in the end it will only offend, don’t want to have to spell it out again
Loading ...
I like her version of the trip better than the actual trip.
I agree.
Clearly all DOA stories should end with a “Dina version”.
Dare I ask how the party and Ryan attack story would’ve been conveyed?
“I almost tripped over a bleeding guy and there was a lot of yelling. Bleeding guy crawled off somewhere. Someone else got carried off. I may have gone to a riot instead of the party”.

Stanley Cup final.
The average reaction after a football match, Oh sorry, soccer match.
Sounds more like a hockey game to me.
The other day I went to a fight, and a hockey mach broke out!
I think we have a winner.
Oh, do I ever love Hockey XD
Dina recaps the party: “I went to a big house full of strange, intoxicated people. A religious guy quoted the bible, then put something in the drinks. Sex was attempted. Later, there was blood everywhere. No bodies were found.”

Then their obvious high-preistess tried to take control of the sacrifice, but he crawled away.”
Sounds like a pretty accurate account to me. Aside from the sharks, anyway; one doesn’t really count as a lake-full.
Walky also doesn’t count as a shark. He’s more like a vicious minnow.
Or Nemo.
Reminds me of the movie synopsis:
“Girl travels to foreign land, commits manslaughter, teams with three bizarre strangers to kill again.”
Wizard of Oz.
There should be an image of them doing a power walk. It must be so!
Mystery SOLVED!
But how did she escape?
Cos she’s a ninja.
Better yet, she’s a lone ninja.
oh yeah, there is that!
::crouching tiger music::
::glint off archaeologist pick::
::closeup of Dina’s eyes::
Or,
-closeup of eyes-
-chewing on miniature pick that looks like a cigar-
-cue spaghetti western music–
doowee ooee oooo!
Did Walky poke her with his shark boner?
It’s a Questionable Content reference.
Unless it is a megalodon boner, she won’t be impressed.
Megalodon Boner is my Dinosaur Jr cover band.
What instrument do you play?
David operates the wah pedal. Mascis’ wah foot usually gets its own credit anyway.
I remember playing a mean triangle when I was a kid. 😛
I tried to play the triangle, but I did a poorly as the main character in the claymation Carol Of The Bells.
I was a prodigy on the kazoo. Maybe I should pick it back up.

We don’t look down on you. We just think you’re TOO FUCKING LOUD.
But when it comes to the prince of simple instruments, you cannot go pass the wobble board.
Now I’m just imagining one guitar player as being Voltron in complete form.
Better yet, replace Voltron with Devastator.
Or Megazord.
The tromboner.
obviously.
Don’t forget the xylobone.
*raises finger to comment*
…
*lowers finger, deciding against it*
and judging from Amber’s expression, it looks like she’s pretty sure those pieces are ‘drugs’ and ‘on’…
I’m thinking “roomie” and “crazy”, myself.
I’ll bet Dina has a bong made from a fossilized therapod egg.
Maybe Dina in her thirties. It will be for my grandchildren to see how that storyline plays out.
i would have guessed a velociraptor’s larynx.
Quick and to the point. With sharks.
Fun fact: The book and movie Jaws was based on a real event when a River Shark attacked a bunch of kids in New Jersey. River Sharks are considered to be more dangerous than a Great White cuz they’re more Fresh water sharks than anything else but they can also be in salt water.
Fun fact: Peter Benchley spent many of his remaining years working to atone for how his work had helped demonize an endangered species.
I wonder how she describes her classes.
A strange, frustrated man placed us in rows and interrogated us on various aspects of philosophy, and we were all bound to complete silence, lest a sanction involving the reduction of a final numeral summary would occur.
Yes.
Too florid. Dina doesn’t strike me as the type that would use words like “lest,” “sanctioned,” or “interrogated” when simpler words would do.
“Fifty people kidnapped me and made me listen to an old man”
s/”kidnapped me”/”shut me in a room”/ and it’s perfect.
You’d think that kidnapping the roommate of a superhero wouldn’t be so easy. =O
Nah. Sidekicks get kidnapped all the time.
Seriously, it’s like #1 plot device for special Superhero drama.
unless it’s spider-man in wich case its “dead girlfriend”
And the Dark Knight, come to think of it.
Furthermore: RAAAAACHEL!
I think Dina is my favorite ever.
Technically, she wasn’t kidnapped. She was shanghaied. Or perhaps “swept away by a tide of people”. Doesn’t explain how she stayed with them on the bus, though…
Clearly it was the venga bus.
Awesome way to end the week.
I believe that she missed the part where she won “catch.”
Oh my God, a new avatar! I am no longer creepy Joe.
How will I ever survive?
With your femurs, of course, because you need them to live.
I’m on grumpy person #3. Grumpy Sal, Grumpy Amazi-Girl, and now Somewhat Put-out Sara.
And that is the best explanation I could have imagined. However, based on Dina’s particular world view it makes perfect sense…?
Somehow that’s pretty close to the account I was expecting from Dina.
Words cannot contain the shame I feel for just now, at half past one in the morning, piecing together that ‘hey, the two girls Walkyverse Mike’s had a history with are roomies’.
Slow does not even begin to describe… 🙁
With that Gravatar and everything.
DOA’s only been running for 16 months and change… Don’t feel too bad!
You are not alone there.
Willis, if/when you release a DOA book, you should end every “day” with a Dina summary. It would be the greatest thing EVER.
YES.
I concur.
Hmmmm.
Okay. I know a lot of things in the history of the universe have been called the greatest thing EVER. Some of them have even been called so by ME. They can’t all be the greatest thing.
But Kernanator? This idea might just BE the greatest thing ever. I was planning to buy a DoA book anyway, but if it included Dina daily summaries, I would buy it EVEN HARDER.
CAPITALIZATION. EMPHASIS.
YES.
I APPROVE.
EXTRA CAPITALIZATION!
I agree with absolute fervour.
I read that as “absolute femur.” Then I reread it that way.
I need new glasses…
Or perhaps femurs. You need those to live, you know.
DO IT.
DO IT NOW.
Cool story, Dina.
u mad, Dina?
DINA WITH IT B-|
Dina escaped by whipping out her shark gun and loading it with the ones nearby, shooting everyone, and then batman-ing back to her room.
Don’t you mean the Shark-repellant Batspray?
So, Walky’s new nickname is Shark?
Yes. In a room for all eternity in the center of a dead planet
Buried aliiive… Buried alive…
The Impossible Planet?
KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!
I know it’s a bit early but Happy New Year, guys and gals and everything in between.
Would “everything in between” include the word “and”?
It could mean the ‘b’, the three ‘e’s, the ‘n’, the ‘t’, and the ‘w’.
A couple of G’s G’s unless you’ve had to live it an R and an E Even I am careful with it
An I and an N, in the end it will only offend, don’t want to have to spell it out again
Yeah
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
From now on I want Dina to relate every single event of my life.
Happy New Year, Walky style!
…Well played, Tucker, well played.
I think I had a heart attack just looking at that photo… D=
Dina: Can I help it if my life rocks?
Is Dina being serious about the sharks?
…! Does Dina not recognize faces?
