Ray: So what's a for-profit Walden mean for me, man? B.D.: It means, Ray, that your courses will cost a lot more and your diploma will be worth a lot less! Ray: Aw, man. That's messed up! I better transfer out of here while my credits are still fungible! B.D.: Still what? Ray: It's a word I learned in econ today. B.D.: See? This place IS legit! King is crazy!

Very useful concept, fungibility. What is interchangeable, what is not? Let alone who.
Linguist over 12 years ago
True, but itās a great old Mel Brooks line that I like to occasionally use.

BD seems kinda, well, uh dumb, while by contrast Ray seems kinda, well, uh, smart. ĻBut BD is a good honest man with a kind heart. He realizes that Ray saved his life in Iraq during the āGulf Warā. And, when war buddy Ray needs help, BD is always there. ĻBD got the hottest babe, Boopsie, on campus at the time. Though he cheated on her in war service with a female officer, and Boopsie broke up with him over the affair, she eventually relented and they married in 1992. Only child a daughter: the precious Sam, brighter than a turned-on light bulb.

As one of the ones who posts early on this strip (because of time differences), Iāll post the daily warning.
We have a regular troll on this strip, Guard SGT. He will bring every discussion back to TEA party and ābirtherā issues.
We have tried in the past to reason with him, he takes no notice. If you āfeed the trollā by engaging with him, you will help him in his aim of disrupting normal conversation here..
So, please, let this be the first and last mention anyone makes on this strip today of, or in response to, Guard SGT. I thank you, and return you to your regular programmeā¦

Itās like training a cat: Say ānoā and change the subject when you disapprove; say āYes!ā and elaborate when you approve. This blog Has a lot of attention paid to those some find abhorrent, often more than to Doonesbury itself.

Advice re trolls.ĻYes, Babygirl, from you and also from John Pike, who was a lot harsher than you. Thanx.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 12 years ago
āā¦ when the troll ignores you ā¦āĻAnd when the troll attacks, you are also making the right points.

While a VFW VSO helped me first file my claim for disability, I canāt in conscience join the organization because you have to swear you believe in the āGod of Abrahamā. As a Buddhist, canāt really join. They ARE pretty right-wing in the membership, but not as bad as the American Legion (psycho ānationalistsā).
DAV also supplies VSOs on a national basis, and do NOT require a religious test to join I strongly recommend folks needing help contact them.
REMF āguardā obviously needs some psychiatric help, but isnāt likely to seek it out, as heās also obviously NOT āservice connectedā, well except maybe as a severe case of āblow hardā.

Wow, I havenāt been reading the comments here for a while, but Iām astounded by how many people continue to play chess with this pigeon. In case you havenāt noticed, āsargeā is prone to knocking over the pieces, crapping on the board, then strutting around like the next grandmaster. I kind of feel sorry for the guy. He seems to spend an inordinate amount of time āguardingā the GoComics discussion pages. My guess is that he is a sad delusional little man.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 12 years ago
Not only am I clean, sober and off tabackey, but I can now read Sargeās comments without feeling any urge whatsoever to answer.
