Unsexy thought? Dr. Narbon saying, “Picture Ernest Borgnine and Ralph Nader naked with a bottle of baby oil” is the all-time King of Unsexy Thoughts. Still gives me the shudders to this day. No lie.
Honestly tho, when I go back and read thru Narbonic again, every time I see that panel I’m caught off guard, and I bust out a big laugh at the sheer weirdness of it. Do we want to know where, why, how, did Shaenon ever come up with that one?
I know that a picture of Ernest Borgnine was mentioned in Weird Al’s ‘That’s Your Horoscope for Today’ and a fan animation portrayed him in the skivvies. Not sure where Ralph Nade comes in.
Pft, amateurs. I could unleash a cringe-nuke, but I’d prefer NOT to be banned from a comic. Suffice it to say, that I’ve worked in retail for 15-ish years, and I have seen things that would make a grown man cry, quit, and sue for emotional damage, while I just went to grab a mop.
You know, I bet that’d really sound good in Latin. Anybody out there want to take a swing at translating? The best I can get from an online translator is “Si finita est pugna in aequum non recte instituunt” and I’m fairly sure it’s not quite right.
…..holy shit. I’d be drooling too, I totally admit it. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn….. If he takes off his jacket and unbuttons his cuffs, somebody’ll have to call in the National Guard.
Also, since they are literally frothing at the mouths apparently, what are the odds he gets through this hearing without the entire room just swarming him?
“Attack of the Orphan Annie People”!
I got my Zombie Gnome in today- it’s great, and the book is even better! It even mentions Zombie Flamingos, which I didn’t even know was a thing until after my post!
…DON’T LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES!
THE MOJO READINGS ARE OFF THE SCALE, QUICK THINK UNSEXY THOUGHTS!
CAPTAIN SMOLDER SHIELDS ARE DOWN!!! I REPEAT SMOLDER SHIELDS ARE DOWN!!!!

NOW: Picture them *smiling.* AAAAAGH.

Probably thought of the two people she would most want to not see naked with a bottle of baby oil.
Although there’s a few more that would certainly be in the running.

I’ll see you and raise you–Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin naked in bed together after a long night of hot, sweaty gay sex. EWWWW!!!
Makes me want to spray Lysol on my eyeballs and scrub them off vigorously just thinking about it, nyaa! O.O

…attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…
Heh heh heh… My mother is a retired nurse. I bet her horror stories from work would easily beat some of the nasty things you’ve seen hands down.
Then again, being a lifelong SF fan and having attended a number of sci-fi cons, I could probably out-WEIRD 90% of the folks here if I tried.
As a funky mad scientist once said, ‘My mojo’s armed and the sequence ain’t abortable.”
Clearly his rival’s suit is working.
dvandom: The suit is doing something., I’m not sure it’s anything to do with what Tip was hoping to do, but I’m sure he’ll take what he can get.
Meanwhile, some of the people outside the room will just see him as someone who doesn’t feel he can be taken seriously wearing women’s clothes.
I suspect most of the individuals in that room will not, after the fact, remember a single thing Tip said, and may even lose time from before that.
How well he doth plead (or wear) his rival’s suit… or something like that. Otherwise, the suit only serves to guild the lilly… or the Tip.
I like how Sweetheart seems to be the only one immune to Tip’s mojo.
I’m not sure she is. That’s probably why she feels dirty.
I think she’s resistant, not immune. And it helps when he’s a dog…
http://skin-horse.com/comic/trees-their-petals/
She’s 1) a dog, 2) gay, 3) already in love with the zombie sitting right next to her… and Tip’s mojo is *still* affecting her.
Oh, he is fighting dirty, isn’t he?
family motto: If you ended up in a fair fight you didn’t plan properly.
[steals motto] 😀

I shortened it a little:
English: If you fight fair, you didn’t plan well.
Latin: Si commode pugnare non cogitare bene.
(Also from Google Translate)
And the 70 Maxims version: Only cheaters prosper.
For perfection, this scene requires Tigerlilly Jones. Let’s see if *she’s* immune to the mojo.
I’d bet Tigerlilly would see the suit as the uniform of “The Man”.
Tigerlily needs her mojo vaccuum on site to recover her own lost Mojo, It’s now apparent to me that Tip is a mojo vampire.
Raaampaaaaage!
An attractiveness rampage, no less.
Oh my.
Ahaha, so this is the REAL reason why Tip wears dresses. They suppress his true power!
…..holy shit. I’d be drooling too, I totally admit it. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn….. If he takes off his jacket and unbuttons his cuffs, somebody’ll have to call in the National Guard.
I think this is Tip’s theme song now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGjHsLnUO1U

Here’s my vote for his theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxZp4VEopcE
Should we put it up to a poll, or just ask Shaenon to put out a special compilation album just for Tip? -_^

Not a fan of the song, but I hear this being Tip’s first excuse later.
Okay, somebody get the popcorn ready. This is going to get good.
I love everything going on now
Tip, using your mojo powers at a congressional hearing is cheating.
But cheating is the only way to win!
