    So close, and yet so Sweetheart.

      Could only be more Sweetheat if there had been some paperwork to do.

        If the drones were officially in inventory, or the radiation gun needed an after-action report, or there were a collateral damage report, or ….

    Maybe she should inject herself into a dog’s body, so Sweetheart would be more comfortable…

      They could go in to a nice alley behind an Italian restaurant!

      now you got me thinking they should keep some dead dogs lying around for her to reanimate

        Do you keep them warm (hot dogs) or cold?

            Ah, the classics.

            FYI, add “&w=320” at the end of your youtube url and the whole video will fit on the page.

            Kitirena, that’s a hanging offense in some of the better parts of the galaxy. Around here, it won’t even get you extirpated.

            How about “Splunge!”, “Snugglebunnies!” or “Rowsdower!”?

    And Unity once again shows that, in some ways, she is smarter than some of the other characters, even when she has not recently consumed brains.

    Bold Diner.
    They’re the place, the place everyone goes Dutch.
    They charge too much
    If an old diner
    Beckons you straight to sample the luncheon plate
    Regurgitate.

    Golden menus will make up a meal
    But the offerings have no appeal
    For the older ones know what the quiche is
    It’s the Quiche of Death from

    Skin-Horse Bold Diner.
    Epicures, beware of their casserole
    They serve it cold.

    It’s all too damned cold.
    Too damned cold.
    It’s too cold.
    It’s all too damned cold.
    Too damned cold.
    It’s too cold.

    —from “Goldfinger,” Shirley Bassey. (I’m sure edduard has done this one before, but I couldn’t help myself.)

        Been wanting to say that in song since I heard it referred to years ago.

      Nope, wrong Ed. I used it during the “Mainbocher” arc, but the filk disappeared a few weeks later when Shaenon moved the comments to WordPress.

        I was pretty sure I’d seen it when I went through the last few years of comics, but couldn’t tell you just which arc. (Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve repeated and reused songs myself; same problem.)

    Unity: “Babe? Get your fluffy butt back here! We are going on a date, right now, just the two of us, no drones allowed!!”

      “Did you just say ‘no dogs allowed’?”
      “No, I said drones”
      “It’s my beach-themed vision! it’s coming true!”
      “Drones! No drones”
      “I knew it! I knew I should’ve listened to the signs!”
      “Dagnabbit!”

    Always worthwhile to revisit the classics. And, from the description, I think I’ve eaten there.

        I’ve noticed this happens most often if the message being replied to is the last post on the page. It can be confusing when there is already a text box there that says “Leave a Reply”, so people forget to hit “Reply” on the individual post.

          We’re so eager to post our rude and obnoxious comments that we sometimes err in doing so.

            I can’t think of any situation where posting rude or obnoxious comments would not be in error.

            I’ve done it myself, but I try to avoid it. I intensely dislike the taste of my own foot, and crow always gives me indigestion.

    At least this chapter has a happy ending. There are dog-friendly apartments — I guess they already live in one — and dog-friendly parks. Sweetheart could even be registered as a service animal who protects UNITY from bolting into traffic and running over a car, and then they could go just about anywhere without raising eyebrows or hackles. They can be totally open about their lifestyle, so long as they’re open about it in the right places. And if absolutely necessary, there are always drones. Drones for going where even service dogs can’t, drones for going where you might be spotted by the non-reality-blind, drones to reward yourself for kicking the drone habit.

      “Kicking the drone habit”… sounds like a behavioural disorder involving habitually kicking drones. Unity might end up with that issue. Of course, then she would need drones to supply the habit.

      And I like that you correctly implied that Unity could be likely to bolt into traffic and run over a car.

        “No drones allowed, they’re not our crowd”…

      Unity running over a car is a great visual, I wish I was good enough at drawing to make that. Maybe I’ll practice!

      If Sweetheart’s not careful, she may find herself on a 3 drone a day habit. That could get pricey.
