Yesterday, Shadowmehr said “What concerns me is that one does not usually go “So there” when talking to oneself. So who is Sweetheart venting at?”
It’s me! And now I’m steamed that she’s bogarting the donuts.
Dude! At least leave me a chocolate glazed, since you can’t eat it!
I didn’t see a sprinkled pink one yesterday, so I guess my fears about the unseen sixth donut being chocolate are allayed as well. Can Shaenon (or any other Bay-Area residents) tell us if those are from a local place or are they generic?
Well the first strip of Borrowers had her telling Unity that she’s supposed to know not to let her drink Chocolate Martinis. But I think the implication is more of a “those make my hangover even worse” than “those are potentially fatal to me” so I’d go with Yes.
Dreamt last night that Sweatheart was Grand Champion judge for the Best in Show portion of the Westminster dog show. I’m going to need another doughnut.
This is wonderfully silly. I wonder if this character (Manifesta, apparently) will be as much a victim of reverse red shirt-ing as the zombie engineer character.
Yes, this is still an interrogation. Specifically, Sweetheart is interrogating the universe as to how it can be so staggeringly unfair.
I hope that taking a batch of donuts into the room and telling the suspect that they don’t get any before eating them all yourself is a real interrogation technique. I would probably break in hopes of getting at least one.

I was kinda expecting some product placement here. I mean, Tim Horton’s might be too much to expect, but maybe Krispy Kreme?
Hello, Manifesta! So nice to meet you in the not-flesh (in the ink?)
Y’know, when I ask questions like this, I rarely expect a definite answer. At least not this soon.
> bogarting the donuts
She’s doing her best! It’s hard to play good-cop, self-centered-cop in an interrogation with nobody around to be the good cop!
Doesn’t her superdog metabolism allows her to eat it anyway? If it works for insane amounts of booze…

Vent at Kay!
I will sit and vent my spleen all day!
While these donuts I will put away …
Oh, I will eat
And vent at Kay!
I’ll complain
‘Bout my partner when she eats a brain!
She will get so smart, she’s such a pain!
I vent at Kay
As I explain …
She … can …
Eat a bike!
I don’t like
When she’s that way!
Smart … and …
Scary, too!
So I’ll chew
And vent at Kay-ay-ay-ay!
Vent at Kay!
I’m interrogating you today!
Manifest-ly, I’m in charge today!
So sit, girl, stay!
I’ll vent at Kay!
I’m gonna frame this one, Ed! CBS should have gone with you instead of Katy Perry.

With a dream like that a chocolate martini may be preferable, unless that caused that dream.
Does she like the Maple Bacon Bars? Or does she go straight for the Liver Glazed ones?
She is from Canada take a guess.

Never mind, I just misinterpreted Manifesta’s comment. I think.
I really love Sweetheart’s expressions in this one. Eddurd you constantly amaze me with your filks.
