In reply to Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity).

You’re not a cockroach. Roaches are nasty and ugly. You’re more of a potato bug–kinda cute, a hardy survivor, and (I assume) make an interesting pet. (At least, I assume that your husband thinks you make a good pet. I wouldn’t know, never having had the honor of meeting you personally, unfortunately. I have the feeling that we’d probably become good friends if we ever met in person.)

Fun trivia fact: did you know that potato bugs can survive doses of radiation that kill cockroaches? See what you can learn from watching Mythbusters? ^_^

(Unfortunately, I now have a mental image of Mell wearing Jamie’s beret and holding an Acme Disentigrator Ray while standing next to a pile of ash and remarking, “Dave busted!”)

In reply to Tiff Hudson (tiff_hudson).

Now that you mention it, I AM thinking of the offspring of such a mating, and kicking myself for having gone into electronic engineering instead of genetic engineering. Gigantic leafy green spider-mutants have such wonderfully horrible potential… Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!

(Why do I have the horrible feeling that these comments are going to give Shaenon an idea to use in an upcoming Skin Horse storyline? O.O)

Ok, that’s just odd… Unintentional reference to another webcomic: 1 (so far as I can tell.) Girls With Slingshots… http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/gwscast/ look for McPedro, lol…

At least one of them isn't a wandering Jew. Imgine how hard mixed-species AND interfaith must be.

Maricruz: Eric (the GM) is based on my ex-boyfriend Kevin, Freddy (the blonde guy) on Jason Thompson, and Iris on my friend Laura. Seth is named after an old friend but isn't based on anyone in particular.

Thinking of the children, spider-ferns have lots of Mad Science potential.

I believe you have already answer this, but all the guys in the Roleplay group are based on people you know right? I mean there are 2 of them here (Iris and the blond one)

A fern and a spider-plant? Don’t you know that those mixed-species marriages never work out. Stop at once. I’m thinking of the children. 🙂

(TUNE: "Freebird", Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Gotta leave here on Friday;
All my friends feel bad for me ...
So this week, I'll have my way,
And abuse their sympathy!

But still my mind's like a train wreck,
And I'm feeling quite annoyed ...
'Cause now I don't have a paycheck!
And this girl is unemployed!
Yeah, gainfully unemployed!

A sexy…. cockroach? OK, if you say so.
