was "bellyaching" newfangled in 1881? could be a painstakingly researched accurate detail ... or not, that's the Branson magic!

this may be going places that even Cormac McCarthy would tsk tsk

I regularly travel with a couple of worriers so sitting with Rona, no sweat

I think William is 5 or 6 strikes away from Swan Boy considering not being his pen pal anymore

I kept thinking "there's a panel of Crystal singing that matches Baloo singing" but maybe it's just something about someone who could take your head clean off who is telling you "you're fine, you're good, we can just chill we've got all we need"

okay I was wrong, Glen's getting cool now

yeah celiac shoutout! hits the same part of my brain as a Canada shoutout...ideally would've been someone cooler than Glen but beggars, choosers (I think his name is Glen? if not might as well be)

don't let anyone tell you Branson always knows where he's going with these

bangers n' mash mate

moby dick is not impressed with the mayor's daily photo

in Frasier the brothers would joke about Opera and I wouldn't get it but it didn't matter, and same-same with Swan Boy and Anime and Music

@octranspo.com - why does Presto not automatically switch a Child pass to a Youth pass?

shannon scares me

hats off to the band Moist for decades of forcing radio DJs to say the word moist

the matrix ain't got nothing on this

I think either I'm the only one who doesn't know what a "narrow man" is or Swan Boy is the only one who does

reminds me of when Elmore Leonard's characters would make all kinds of wrong guesses about what's going on but still correctly figure out the other guy's next move

4-year-old improv comedian: no, but

tonight is the night Swan Boy becomes Swan Man

Swan Boy immediately left the path, hasn't seen a trail marker in hours, and is not concerned/aware in the least

my 13,553rd-favorite thanksgiving food is yellow 6 lake 40. i'm sorry, everybody. i should not have committed to a 15,000-item list last november and i hope to finish it as quickly as i can. my 13,554th-favorite thanksgiving food is the anthocyanin E163. my 13,555th-favorite is fd&c blue number 1

Gordon Ramsay: bloody fucking hell, this steak is shite Matt

and people say they don't want their stories to be horny

you know it's good storytelling when you have no idea what the Americans are talking about (Shaq? what?), and still it's a good rounded story about a complicated father son insurance military crime relationship

next can @bencollins.bsky.social somehow get a hold of Dilbert dot com and then just fill it with daily comics like Pants and haus of decline and swanboy etc.

love @theonion.com's running gag of omitting "to be" verbs but doing nothing about the resulting awkwardness

awwwwww

Despite Crystal's massive fan and sex appeal, there is a total vacuum where you'd expect to see shipping/fan art for these two, a huge testament to Noel's complete lack of fan and sex appeal

out of the gate he defies all hope

excuse me for a moment while I ask the neighbourhood group for advice and respond to all replies with antagonism

hmmm torn between George Potatoes and Rupert Potatoes

Noel going supervillain in t minus 1-more-perceived-slight-from-a-world-set-against-him (haha jk, he doesn't have the initiative)

haven't even read the full thing yet, this panel on its own is perfect

butterfly effect: as cookiepuss sifts through brain matter Bill and Ted arrive and permanently scar their teenage souls, fail history

Cary Elwes - Canadian? American? British? nobody knows!

still to be confirmed whether Noel's reaction is delight vs. annoyance, but I'd wager he cares too much what his brother thinks of him, and it is very funny that Liam clearly does not think of him at all.

hot body hotties

swanboy having me eager to "tune in next time" in a way that TV forgot

real frying pan into the fire turn here (where the frying pan is old gods, and the fire is remembering you abandoned your dad and now he's a head with a foot)

Keep thinking about this! I miss Forums but this is the closest I've felt to hanging out in one in a while (props to @bransonreese.bsky.social for Moderatoring, I.e., indiscriminately reposting)

oh he's going annoy his way out of this (like a wonky potato that's not worth peeling)

Rona would have had the forethought to worry "what if there's A Device"; Swan Boy would have hooked up; Noel has not the skill to deal with this and a) will succumb to the device or b) stumble out by luck and attribute it to skill
