Revenge of Ask T Questions

[TCampbell]

Back to questions! *Alarum sounded from without*

Was there an Occupy Belleville protest, and if so, how extensive was Aggie's involvement?

There was a tiny one which Aggie was involved with but Belleville is not big enough for anything official.

I thought Belleville was in Canada?

I thought Belleville was in Canada?

A common misconception, but see T's words here.

And even if it were, the Occupy movement has spread well beyond the U.S. In fact, Adbusters, the organization that initiated Occupy Wall Street, is Canadian.

Cool story.

And back to P&A

How did Duane feel about Katy and vice-versa? The Brandi-Jack mutual attraction was confirmed, but you never got back to the Duane-Katy thing. Was it in Annie's heads?

And on a more personal level,
Isn't it weird how you keep getting questions despite the comic having ended months ago?

Hello

I've always wanted to know how the rest of this conversation went.
Did Sarah keep defending Penny? Did she apologize to Helen? Or did they just left the conversation as it was since it had turned ackward? Because I'm curious about Helen's feelings about Sarah. It's obvious she hated/resented Penny the most, but how did she feel about Sarah and Shelly? Did she feel guilty about the damage she was helping cause? I don't think she knew the extent of Shelly's troubles, but surely she did hear about the rape video. What was her reaction to that? Did she believe it or did she think it was just Charlotte acting on her own?

Just curious, and I apologize if this has been asked before

Duane and Katy-Ann liked each other a lot. That could've indeed become "something more" if Katy-Ann were single. Despite how hard she fought for Jack, he could've shut her down with an "I'm sorry, I need to figure some stuff out in my head and it's not fair to make you wait for that," etc. Katy would've gone through a mourning period, and been a little skittish about Duane's tie to Charlotte, but it definitely could've happened.

Well, Quiltbag's been a pretty straightforward continuation.

They changed the subject. Helen had made her point, and there was no need to beat it into the ground, but Sara was startled enough by Helen's feelings on the matter that she didn't feel like arguing. Helen was making her claims about Penny's whole clique, including Sara, so it wasn't as simple as defending a friend. That's always easier to do than defending yourself.

Helen, like she said, was willing to cut Sara a break by saying she might've changed, but still held Sara's previous behavior in contempt. Penny and Shelly hadn't diverged from that behavior as far as she could see, so there you go.

By the time the rape video rolled around, Helen was in full rationalization mode. She'd always at least suspected that what Karen was having her do was wrong, and it was getting harder and harder to deny it. But Karen's cabal was still making her feel respected, valued, and she told herself whatever lies she needed to in order to keep that up. That is, until Aggie called her out, and then she just crumbled.

Without giving us the answer (unless you want to ^_^)... do YOU know how Penny and Aggie ended up, in relation to one another?

[TCampbell]

I haven't let myself decide.

[Valerie]

I'm sure this has been asked before: How is Sara's name pronounced? Sair-uh? Sah-rah?

[TCampbell]

I'm sure this has been asked before: How is Sara's name pronounced? Sair-uh? Sah-rah?

Sair-uh. Or, if you prefer, /ˈsæɹə/

[Valerie]

Oh, good. I'd been saying it that way the whole time, assuming an alternative spelling of "Sarah." Then I found out she was half-Asian* (waaay back in the Penny-is-Hitler days) and was unsure, but kept thinking "Sarah" anyway.

*I couldn't tell. I'm actually not very good at this in real life, either.

[Mr. Brightside]

I'm sure this has been asked before: How is Sara's name pronounced? Sair-uh? Sah-rah?

Sair-uh. Or, if you prefer, /ˈsæɹə/

...um... am I the only one who sees these as two different pronunciations?

[Ollie]

Is there a guide somewhere to how to read that phonetic spelling thing? Because the second one, to me, seems like a "sair-EY"

[TCampbell]

Heh. Some of Lisa's opinions about the imperfections of the standard alphabet are my own.
