Re: Some Tips on How to Up Your Popularity Quotient

I like the "This is no time to be too proud!"

Especially because "This" time means the entirety of one's life until she gets engaged.

This is no time to be too proud! On the other hand (next frame), does your whole attitude advertise the fact that YOU'RE MAN HUNGRY?

Why don't you come over and be a real home-cooked meal? Yum!

And once you go to the Y, make sure to tantalizingly reveal some glimpses to the young men your age, by removing and readjusting your swim cap!

A long chase is said to have a tenderizing effect. But I'm not fussy. I'm man-hungry!

Hey all: Can anyone recommend a good Sprint-compatible phone to replace one which just broke? I was thinking of getting a used one, because I don't want to upgrade my plan or extend my contract. I want it to be cheap, clamshell/flip style (not that damn thin, flat motorola one) and as physically rugged as possible.

Plunging men into boiling water head first is the kindest way to kill them. They're done when their shells turn red.

Flavor and fat content benefit from force-feeding, according to experienced maneaters. I, for one, can't imagine I'd object.

Oh, and a MANDOM marinade enhances flavor.

I'd never heard of Romeo Void. If that's true about Debora lyall it sucks, but that kind of non-recognition often happens.

I think the plot of the Unfogged movie should center on w-lfs-n making a pilgrimage to Winnipeg to meet Guy Madden. It could be Citizen Kane meets Sullivan's Travels meets The Bad News Bears.

We could coordinate it with the Fargo meetup. Or we could just move the Fargo meetup to Winnipeg.

You know, I think that people are misinterpreting "man hungry". It's not that the woman is hungry for men; that's an entirely respectable position in which to be. No, the problem is that she's got a man-hunger, that is, a man's hunger, that is, an outsized, inappropriate hunger for a woman to have. The problem with the woman in logical panel three isn't that she's over-eager with respect to the frightened-looking dude in the suit, but that she's over eager with respect to the prospect of a "real home cooked meal".

The problem with that interpretation, ben, is that if a woman is never mannishly hungry, she will not spend her free time developing the cooking skills necessary to land a hungry man.

Bostoniangirl, I've had two different chunky Motorola flip phones (v540 and v551, maybe? something like that). *Very* solid; I'm a klutz and didn't even consider a RAZR given how often I drop my phone. I use Cingular (obligatory union plug: Switch to Cingular -- the only union wireless service!), but I bet Sprint has some equivalent.

she's over eager with respect to the prospect of a "real home cooked meal".

It's true she's got that look of bestial greed going on. Add a monocle and she could be shilling for Slingsby's Superb Soups.

I can't help hearing the narrative text of the comic in the voice of a '50s instructional film like "What to do on a date". And once I think about it, I realize that the voice also sounds a lot like Hugh Beaumont.

Fabulon is all kinds of awesome.
