    I love how they both blush in silence at the sudden and simultaneous realization of just what pleasures of the flesh they would both really like to indulge in right now.

    Come on, guys, just bang already.

    And at least it’s not banana and potato chip sandwiches.

      Yeah, but if Nick had never been human before, he might even enjoy banana & potato chip sandwiches… at least until he tried normal food.

      I swear, one of these days I’m going to eat a banana & potato chip sandwich, just so I have a frame of reference for discussing them.

        Had a schoolmate who ate banana & potato chip sandwiches… or maybe it was to different mates, can definitely remember one who would chew the banana and then regurgitate (NOT throw up, she didn’t swallow) the mush onto a slice of bread

        Potato chips with marmite was a popular sandwich-filling (salt & vinegar flavoured preferably)

        No reason to wait, awgiedawgie (barring food allergies, anyway). Heck, I eat a banana-and-potato-chip sandwich on or around Valentine’s Day every year in homage to that very strip!

        … Although lately I’ve been doing banana and potato chips and peanut butter, which may not be canonical but it makes the sandwich more satisfying.

        I read it roughly twice a week for about 6 months, and then I got burned out. I’m overdue for another reading now. I’m starting to forget little details.

      Gotta have dinner first, make this a proper date – not just casual sex. Pigging out on junk food together may not fit most people’s idea of a romantic dinner, but it’s all they’ve got.

        Nick may insist on a proper marriage.
        For all I know Virginia may insist on this as well.
        Some people have inconvenient scruples.

      I think it might be something on the order of “strip them, and lock them in a closet.” Although I suppose that Dr. Lee triggering her mojo might work, I don’t know if she’d think of it.

        Lock her in a closet and make her mojo her way out?

        Triggering her mojo would wind up with her involved though.

      Two shots of tequila apiece and somebody steal half the lightbulbs. That should do it. If they need more of a push, I’m sure either Tip or Tigerlily has a Barry White recording somewhere.

      Nick should make another origami swan for Virginia, walking in on her as she is doodling “Virginia Zerhacker” in her journal. She’ll confess she always knew Ira was just the delivery boy and bring out the original, holding it up next to Nick’s… They stare into one another’s eyes and draw closer Together… Love’s First Kiss

    LET’s see; with cats, intro very slowly; if they don’t attack, proceed; if they do, separate them, put her in a closet, him out; let them ‘talk’ like that. If they don’t want to scratch each others’ eyes out, let him in.

    Let’s see, now; she realizes that she’s the one with the experience. He’s such a naif. Now he gets to follow HER. Better that way anyway.

    Charming, but awkward. Pilots sometimes have some tricks she hasn’t seen
    nor tried with a gay gerbil. Sometimes. A guy can go a long time looking to hook up with a lady pilot. Ah, but what’s ambition for?

    Also I notice Dr. Lee has upgraded her wardrobe from hospital scrubs to ill-fitting shirt. Another castoff from Tigerlily Jones?

    this is almost entirely irrelevant, but… if he’s been cloned, does that mean he’s not circumcised anymore?

    how does he feel about that, given his faith?

      I doubt he cares too much considering he doesn’t view this as his real body anyways.

        Well, the point may be he’s _been_ circumcised already so there’s no point in repeating the process.

      “Sly” implies that he meant it the way we are all taking it. I seriously doubt he meant it as anything but an innocent question. Remember, he’s still a virgin.

    Dr. Lee is not getting this done and its her problem. One of us (best to be Tip) needs to inform her that the ball is in her court (or balls or ….). Does she have separate email I can write to??

      The ball is in her court, but the balls are in Nick’s court.

      Dr. Lee did have an email account at one point. It was when Nick was writing a blog and every once in a while I needed Dr. Lee to post.

        She was texting at the beginning of “Can’t Catch Me,” but, hey, she probably lost her smartphone somewhere in the last adventure.

        Dr Lee posted to Nick’s blog? I don’t remember that…

          I didn’t see that either, and I just re-read his blog the other day.
