The mystery boys are hard cases, Glenn. They’re turbocharged nutters. Sonny once made a daisy chain and Linton has been known to watch three or four unboxing videos in a row. As for Jack…

Bad Machinery

“Guidance” may be the wrong word here. What’s a less structured equivalent?
Misguidance?
Malguidance?
Disguidance?
Regrettable influence?
I’m going with chaototrix.
Cautionary example?
Shelley’s filthy rich and immortal. She must be doing something right.
I was thinking more that I doubt anyone could really “guide” Lottie. Influence, yes, but not guide.
They said the same of Dr Faustus, at least until the end bit.
Yep. And you saw her in a video fifteen years and seventy miles of hard road ago.
With Shelley being in a relationship with Reverend Penrose, Lottie can now see not one, but two mentors in the same place! As long as the two are still together.
As a taciturn and robustly athletic redhead approaching my own middle age, I find I am uncommonly invested in Rev Penrose
Let’s hope Lottie’s mom will not feel depressed hearing that statement. Can’t wait to see the mystery kids involved in a ruthless food ward!
I’m sure Karen’s used to it. Sarah might have some things to say about the rankings, though.
Yes, I think Karen knows that there’s no containing Lottie’s grandiosity (which, let’s be honest, she’s kind of earned).
If one wishes to watch the unboxing of the 4K for Van Helsing (2004, Hugh Jackman), then they should be able to do so in peace
That was an unfortunate 50% of a good movie.
I’m not sure how to feel about it
I went in expecting a fun “so bad it’s good” experience only to end up genuinely really liking it by the end
In spite of or perhaps because of its inherent crustiness
Oh it’s utter trash, but enjoyable trash. It’s the 2000’s version of 1960’s Hammer Horror.
I’m looking forward to this 😀
They can hope that Jack didn’t get back from the ’90s the hard way, by waiting 30 years, making him rather old to be hanging out with this gang.
Or worse, sent back by Tim Jones.
If the teapot reverses time, would the coffee maker speed it up? Surely Lottie’s barista skills would be on point here.
My recollection is that the teapot BREAKS time,and Tim simply made use of that to travel backwards through time. I imagine it could also be used for otehr time-related shenanigans.
I wish my parents were still around just so I could announce my presence that way.
I don’t even want to think about Lottie with a driving license!
“The only driving license with a double-O prefix…”
Can’t be worse than Mildred without a driving license.
(Though I must admit, her parallel parking was technically perfect.)
AS FOR JACK WHAT
YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT
The writer of Cassiopeia Quinn gave you a genial shout out for Solver!

Oooh! And thus I have discovered that Cassiopeia Quinn has updated!
Great thanks now I have a new archive to binge see you folks Monday morning –
But is Jack back?
. . . Jack’s dedication to lossless music formats made all of the ladies in the area pregnant.
Glenn will not get in the back of the car with the tailgate closed.
By the time I drew this I was starting to disintegrate. I’ll put the back door on for the collection. In the meantime you’ll have to imagine it.
Some let you roll down the rear-facing window
Question for John: Why state the distance traveled in Imperial units? Is that a concession to U.S. readers?
It’s still miles, mph here on road signs.
Wait wait, so miles on roads, meters for lengths unless you’re saying how tall you are, pints of beer but litres of gasoline, and then they just throw in random stuff like people weighing “stones” for fun? Britain has actually found a more confusing system than America. My hat is off to you.
They’re carrying on after the loss of their delightful monetary system. The menagerie that was British coinage never ceased to entertain. At least they still have the pound.
I learned the (pre-decimalization) British monetary system in my late teens (ca. 1978) because I wanted to use it for my Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. It is indeed marvelous. It’s Base12, so you can divide any sum by an arbitrary number and come out even.
Also learned about currency devaluation as a result — the portcullis stamp designating old coins which had been devalued.
I think stones will eventually vanish as younger people tend to know their weight in kg. British roadsigns never went metric presumably because of the cost of replacing them all, in the 1970s when the UK went metric the country was virtually bankrupt. There’s no political will to do it now.
Surely there must be some stoners among today’s youth?
Thanks for lumping me in with the ‘younger people’ John (as a child of the 70’s I’ll take it wherever I can get it.)
By the time I got to a Maths class, all the text books had been decimalised.
Imperial measures might have come into play in Home Ec, but I never paaid atttention there. I couldn’t even hazzard a guess how many Stones are in an Ounce.
So Dan do you think of your weight in kg?
I try not to think of my weight at all (I’m getting a bit round) but, yeah.
The Return of Lottie’s Happy Little Suitcase!
That suitcase deserves a story of its own.
Jack’s just lost in time, that’s all. Nothing major.
The boys!!!!!!!! I’m so excited :’)
