Eric: Who wants to lay odds they forget to untie them?
(From Order of the Stick. Click on the thumbnail for full sized slavery considerations!)
I've been enjoying this whole run of Order of the Stick -- it's just darn fun. I'm also glad it doesn't immediately throw us back into the main plot/plot, but continues on the sidequest for a nice block of time.
But that's not why I'm snarking this particular strip. No no. Oh, sure, I think the banter is grade A and the sense of fun is there and it's just generally good. Absolutely. We're both together on that point.
No, I'm snarking it because I just like to say "your approval fills me with shame."
Try it for yourself. When you're sitting in a business meeting, and you come up with a good idea, and someone you don't particularly care for thinks your idea is good, grin and say "your approval fills me with shame," and then move on to the next topic before they can fully resolve what you just said. I intend to do it later today!
So, you know, if anyone has a job for a systems administrator with compulsive blogging disorder, this might be a good time to mention it....

Loved today's snark, and I hope to get a chance to use "your approval fills me with shame" on somebody in the near future.
One side note, though - when I loaded the page, the right margins of all the snarks extended past the left margin of the menu on the right margin of websnark.com itself, which meant that the right edge of the first few snarks was only visible if I went to their comment pages. Have you recently changed the HTML coding for the main page?

It's been doing that cut-off-page thing to me too. It's been happening for a while.

I think the cut-off page thing is brower related, since it does that at my school computers but not at home.

I think this punchline stands as a nice counterpoint to this one.
I have no clue if it was intentional, although it's the exact same characters.

Just wanted to meta-talk about the article headline.
THe Father is a rogue. h has ranks in the escape artist skill, which can be used once every 6 seconds to escape from simple bindings, and can probably take 20 since there's nobody around threatening him, effectively he'll be out in under a minute...
THe daughter is a sorceress, so,she's stuck.
