This strip has me noticing larger parallels between the Beef/Molly romance and Say Anything.  The vibe of the nerdy outsiders in love;  him being the more popular one and folding her into his group of friends;  her realizing that she hasn't really formed any personal connections before.

I think I'm really rooting for Beef and Molly with a feeling very close to the one I felt on the airplane at the end of Say Anything.

What?  The two lovebirds were totally on an airplane at the end of that film.

Indeed, Choop, I believe it is YOU who lose cred here.

I assumed that the cred-losing was because of... ahem... "failing to warn of spoiler."

I didn't think spoiler warnings applied to movies that came out 15 years ago. Or did we jump topics when I wasn't looking?

When I am done making a homunculus out of my phlegm I propose a D.C. area AcheCon with a viewing of Say Anything so we can all be on the same page.

p.s. I could really use a lung brother right now

p.s. playing the part of Jough will be a NAND gate

I can't help but think that that's some comp sci reference that I should be getting.  But what the hell does a NAND do?

Basically, it boils down to:

Anything that two other people agree to, Jough will say the opposite.  Using enough circuitry, he can negate practically thousands of accordant inputs!

Or, I can provide a truth table if need be.  

Yes, I'm a nerd.

All I remember from my logic classes is this crazy thing called recuctio ad absurdum. It seemed to allow you to prove anything you want by first claiming the opposite.

This is why I didn't change majors to philosophy.

Going back to the "who's in the DC area" bit, Carlos recently moved from Alexandria to Centreville.  Still in NoVa, but I'm now closer to Leesburg than the District, which I find sort of upsetting.
