Can’t you see, these awful tattoo shenanigans are tearing our team apart? If only there was a definitive historical document that could set us all straight…
1/24/12
“Hard to argue with the Bible.”
“Yeah, unless you wanted to point out to Cortez that he’s already breaking Leviticus 21:5: ‘You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard.’”
“But wait…Cortez, doesn’t even have a beard.”
“You’re a dull boy, Parker. Now as long as we’re in the shower, let’s say we violate us some Leviticus 18:22.”
“You want to wear garments made of two types of material?”
“That’s Leviticus 19:19, dummy. Now kiss me you fool.”
1/25/12
Strange bedfellows indeed. Once Cortex finds out what kind of guy Lini is (the kind of guy who wears garments made of two types of material), he’s gonna be wicked pissed!
And now it’s gotten so tattoo crazy around here, even people we don’t really remember or care about are doing it! So to honor a generic dude with lame ink, more haiku:
Heavens, Tim Summers!
You want your age 18 perks?
Try voting, dumb-ass.

My Haiku:
Cortez, holy roller
Lini, Metrosexual
Making even less sense.

All the tools in Milford
Out getting shitty tattoos,
Help! More bible quotes, please.

Because they are all going to work at filling stations after they graduate, Elmo.
And is Lini changing out of a tuxedo in 1/25 panel 3? Heavens!

Nice work, Jason. Best Leviticus riff I’ve read in some time.

Did we leave out the apostrophe? As in : “Heaven is Tim Summers.” And Kitten is looking hot as the facial psoriasis clears. A love triangle: Kitten lusting after Lini’s clear skin, Tim tingling after Kitten’s ‘M’, and Lini seeking heaven.
How is this not a movie already?

So you correctly point out the inconsistencies in Cortez the Killer’s quoting Leviticus. Now if the M-Train is heading to Hepville, can it at least be a limited instead of a local?

“I’m going places.”
So Lini claims. I know where
“Queer eye, Straight guy.”

four haiku from Regina. And good ones at that. I mean they scan and everything.
I’m curious about something. We’re all referring to Lini as a metrosexual, a fashion-and-grooming conscious straight. But my impression is that he’s gayer than a paper moon. Am I imagining things, or is Whigrub just squeamish about suggesting Lini’s orientation too directly?

Lini’s Gay?

“four haiku from Regina. And good ones at that. I mean they scan and everything. ”
The last two are great. The first two are 6-7-6 instead of 5-7-5. We can call them gilkus.

Haiku is almost impossible to translate. Usually translators either keep the right numbers of syllables or add a rhyme to compensate for the fact they can’t get them to scan right. Thus those writing them in English are given a certain latitude. I think Regina’s are damned impressive with or without the extra syllables, especially since the whole concept is to capture a moment.
And “Gilku” is an inspired term. May it be added to the litany of hronk/bonk/count it/foozle…

Regina needs more to do – – how about the dude with Kaz’s shades in P3 1/27. Indoors to boot! Shameful artistry.

Thanks guys…I know I messed up on the second one (Too much hanging out in PUB with Gil LOL). I got so inspired by the riduclouness of his story arc.
As for Lini, look Chieg Whigham and Neal, we all know Lini’s gayer than a picnic basket. Just let his freak flag fly for God’s sake! Or as I would say in Haiku:
Lini gay as a
Picnic basket. So I say
“Let that freak flag fly.”
or::
Cortez, please, please quote
Levitcus 18:22
To our gay Lini.
