Nice idiots abound. Ask any woman.
If you missed it, check out the naughty yet nice Puck pic that’s the new voting incentive on TWC. The title is “When I think about you, I touch my elf.” If you haven’t seen it yet, you can’t say you aren’t curious.
Though this particular incentive pic isn’t available through voting on TWC anymore, you can purchase the pic from the STORE! It’s only a buck for a set of five voting incentives! That’s what I call a deal!
Hey i listen to christian rock, egad! I am a nice boy. Id like to think im not an idiot…
To quote the immortal Bart Simpson, “Phpt. All the best bands are affiliated with Satan.” Though Daphne would think those devil-worshippy bands were lame too. In fact, I think that Daphne would dismiss pretty much all bands as lame. It’s part of being a disenfranchised youth nowadays.
Stephen, no one THINKS they are idiots themselves. It’s like how you can’t smell yourself, really. But trust me. Christian rock= horrifically lame 🙂
Ever seen Red Dwarf? There’s an episode where one character tries to sabotage another guy’s romantic chances by scattering disgusting, unromantic things around his place. The biggest, baddest romance killer that he employed was Christian rock albums.
As a Christian, I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment of Christian rock.
Dionysus Rising by E. Michael Jones would argue that Rock (going back to its roots in Richard Wagner) and Christianity (not so much as religion, but as a set of values) are fundamentally incompatible.
I’d agree with that.
Er, Alice Cooper would beg to disagree, as his message, even before his conversion, was “There is good, and there is evil. Don’t choose evil.”
But all of Alice’s greatest works (and successes) sang the praises of Satan! Or vaguely hinted at the greatness of the dark path. And boy, that was fun music.
I always thought that Christian Rock was just regular rock. You just replace ‘baby’ with ‘Jesus’…
I think Eric Cartman told me that.
But replacing ‘baby’ with ‘Jesus’ just takes the magic away! I still remember how sad I was when I realized that Collective Soul was singing about Jesus. Ruined the 90’s for me, man.
‘Collective Soul’
Now, there’s a name I haven’t heard in 20 years.
Dang it! We’re getting too old.
What are we going to do about this?
Back when I was a teen (in the 90’s), I would go to local music festivals and they would always have has-been headliners from the 60’s and 70’s like Lighthouse playing to a crowd of aging, paunchy people. It sort of made me cringe. Earlier this summer, there was a music fest nearby. The headliners were Weezer and Collective Soul. The crowd? Sort of paunchy, getting older.
Sigh.
Well at least I’m not getting old. I’m 15 forever. Seriously, I still get zits when I’m over stressed. No wrinkles, no grey hair.
Well, cling to that youth, then! Cling tight!
Who was Colin addressing in panel 3 when he says, “Hey Robin…”?
Puck’s ‘legal’ full name is Robin Goodfellow. Only Colin tends to call her that.
Ah! Ok, gotcha!
If you’re doing the whole tea and crumpets thing, you are wayyyy more English than Canadian. Just sayin’.
One lump please.
Puck’s sort of got a pseudo-British bent to her mannerisms and tastes. (This is at least partially inspired by my own wife, who loves all things British.)
Considering her origins (assuming she truly is the “ancient fairy of lore”), why is her Britishness only “pseudo”? With all her time flitting about England, I’d expect her British mannerisms to be a bit more authentic, maybe with a “pseudo-Canadian” bent picked up in recent years.
Who knows? This psuedo-comic hasn’t really pseudo-decided what the pseudo-hell’s going on.
Not speaking on behalf of all folks British here… but I’m pretty sure that stereotype hasn’t been valid for about a century.
That’s a shame.
Keep in mind how old Puck is, and how far back many of her habits may reach.
She may be old, but I am fascinated by your theory Puck has recurrent Amnesia.
I suggest she has been cursed by the Hamlet Witches. She begins each cycle as a teen, without knowledge of past lives.
She grows, loves, learns, but then, at a certain point, is cursed to begin all over again.
Her starting point is canon; Puck #1 states she is 621, but only 8 years having a life. She appears to be maybe 20 years old.
This tells me Puck begins each cycle at Puberty (12, 13 years old).
When does it end ? I suggest when her husband dies, children flown, and she is alone. At that point she simply disappears; people do search for where the old lady has gone, but never find her.
She re-appears with a DIFFERENT APPEARANCE, clothed, but with nothing. It’s not easy !
She must re-establish everything.
Sounds cruel, but it IS a curse,
All possible. Other than the fact that there are no witches in Hamlet.
Or WERE there and you just don’t remember them? Methinks perhaps thou hast gotten into mine Amnesia Bacon.
Yeah, us nice idiots are so idiotic. But nice.
Though the niceness is sometimes ruined by the idiocy. Like here.
They lure you in with the idiocy and then BAM! Take you out with their niceness.
Wait, that doesn’t sound right.
