The Nerds and the Bees
Today’s comic is based on some of the awesome conversations that came from Twitter. The D&D community is thick on the Twiiters and 99% of the folks I’v had the pleasure of talking too are good people.
The OkCupid/Gizmodo article thing this week really put some folks into a tizzy. I’ll be honest, my first reaction was the “Needs to get laid” line Trevor uses in today’s comic. She does an awesome job of alienating an entire percentage of the human race with her poorly crafted article. I’m sure she thought she was being funny. Hell, I’m certain there are a lot of folks who found the article funny.
If she wants to run down successful, well-spoken geeks for the sake of living out some kind of Carrie Bradshaw fantasy, so be it. I say to each his/her own.
I didn’t include a link because, well frankly, I don’t want to give her anymore page views.
This whole thing does have me wanting to drip a toe back into the Magic: The Gathering waters. I played O.G. Magic and it’s been YEARS since I tapped it
In happier news: THE MORE YOU ROLL SHIRTS ARE IN STOCK!Â
Do you have a link to that article, can’t seem to find it.
http://moviebob.blogspot.com/2011/08/alyssa-saga.html#more has a good rundown.

Consider not giving alyssa more pageviews on this.
First: If you’re still not clear on the stick thing, I’m here to help.
Second:
I read that article…I think most of the comment threads said it perfectly. You would think someone that writes for a tech/nerd blog wouldn’t be so myopic when dating someone that happens to be really good at a CCG.
Third:
Wesley and I are ankle deep into Magic. We welcome the oportunity to do battle. JOIN US!!!
No, I agree. She has to get laid first. Then when she’s relaxed, the stick slides right out. You have to be practical in these things.
Yep ya got me. Loled at work again…and got kind of excited. Good stuff.
The facial expressions in the second panel are priceless!
