Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
Today's Stone Soup has the wrong punch line.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->I'm not sure I understand your alternative endings, or why you say Val's complaint is hypocritical. As I read the strip, Rena is being rather literal-minded and pointing out that Val's face has aged (so it's not the face she was born with, and if she wanted it to look more like the face she was born with, she would need to use some of the cosmetics she was complaining about).
I confess that reading hadn't occurred to me; I read it as Rena pointing out that she was using makeup. Your reading is funny, so I think I just missed the joke.
