    Nick, you forgot to tell her that Artie is also the Strongest Man….. in the World!

      Strongest man?
      Technically (and/or pedantically), strongest transgenic gerbil/human chimera would be more accurate…

    For a moment there, I misinterpreted the font change and was trying to figure out what “drama” was a wrongswear for.

    It’s OK, Tip. If we want all the drama, we have the archives ^_^

    “Take out all the drama”?!?!?

    BLASPHEMY!!!

    I mean really; I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the drama. And the cobras.

      Of course. As Gavotte would say, “one simply must have priorities!”

    I’m surprised it let Nick say “homo”.

    Also, I see that Tip has the same weird habit as me, using jazz hands whenever “drama” is emphasized.

      I think that’s because Artie is actually gay and Nick is not homophobic therefore, it is a statement of fact Rather than a swear or an insult. Alternately , it is Part of an Infodump that Nick feels is pertinent To the Mission And therefore it might be bad for him not to be able to say it, since he is giving a briefing and every military does occasionally use Honeypot operations. Now if he were installed in a commercial aircraft he might not be able to say it.

      You see? This is why I say the filter must be partly contextual.

        I agree completely. But I thought you were actually Jeff? Shouldn’t you be the one confirming that?

          (In case it is what gave you the idea, the user icon is a carryover from when the default was a blue Skin Horse logo. I had trouble finding my own posts, so I made myself a color edit so it would stand out from the others. When the default pic reverted to WordPress default, I never bothered to change it back.)

    (TUNE: “Your Mama Don’t Dance”, Loggins & Messina)

     CHORUS:
      The drama’s left out from the story Nick went and told!
      Yeah, the drama’s left out from the story Nick went and told!
      Girl, I gotta warn ya,
      Out in California
      Artie will hold … the reins, I’m told!

    He’s Specimen R-T-dash-five-four-seven-eight!
    His body is ripped and his intellect’s really great!
    Plus, I gotta say,
    He’s really, really, gay!
    Tip had a date … that wasn’t straight!
    Now he’s saying that (repeat CHORUS)

     Nick can give the facts, now, keeps it quick and clean …
     Artie’s both a rodent and a human bein’!
     Intellect enhanced, he’s super-gen-i-us …
      Somehow he made
      Kids in first grade
      Doing calculus!
     His abs like rock!
     It ain’t no shock,
     He likes the clock!
    Tip is saying that (repeat CHORUS)

    Completely incidental, but I couldn’t help but smile at today’s URL path:

        Once you find the comic in the comments, look at its comment section. If you look really hard, you’ll see a comic in the comments of the comic in the comments 😀

    Oh, Tip, sweetie. You’re in trouble when you start feeling that the vital memorable aspect of a former lover is the drama–and you don’t seem terrified or annoyed when you say it. I hate to say it, but I think you’re still one smitten kitten, sugar. XD

      For Tip, it’s all about the drama. That’s the real reason he wasn’t satisfied here:

      “Homo” is not a swearword. It’s just the short form of “homosexual”.
