Order of the Stick

BennyProfane:

Substitute the word “order” for “law” there and it makes more sense. Not that it made sense, though.

There is no reason for them to be lawful or orderly though, especially with no ninja class, the monk class should’ve been a bit more all encompassing the various types of martial artists.

It IS Fairly Spicy, However

Edit: Do we really need to keep doing this for every strip? I mean, it DOES have an RSS feed and everything.

Yes, but I’ve opted to skip the RSS feed since I just keep checking this thread anyway. So keep posting links.

This thread is what tells me there is a new strip!

Sure, you could use RSS for OotS, but QT3 syndication is better, so why bother?

Raife · 2010-05-17T16:38:39.000Z

It helps people like Rimbo feed their OCD. Win-win.

Same here. Given the uncertain update rate of the strip, it’s easier to just watch for an update here. Why bother RSSing it when we have Rimbo?

I consider it a courtesy and shared responsibility.

You, Rimbo, are not responsible for posting links to new OotS strips. However, if you want to talk about the latest strip and no one’s posted it yet, then its only a common courtesy to provide a link so people who join in the discussion can quickly go check it out.

Of course, if you have nothing to say other than there is a new one out… than yeah just posting that is kind of strange. I mean, he’s actually keeping a reasonable update rate going, so its not like a new strip is THAT exceptional anymore.

Edit:

ALso, I’m not entirely sure what it RSS is, but I don’t think I want it fed to my PC.

It was excrutiatingly embarrassing when my last place of work chose to use RSS-Bandit as its mandatory reader of choice. Nobody but me seemed to get the (genuinely unpleasant) rudeness in the name.

Hah! It took me a minute, but I got it.

I had to think about it, too. It helps knowing that you’re from London, where people don’t know how to spell “ass.” ;)

Wow, am I slow. Just got it.

And this was at one of the world’s largest accountancy firms…

Rimbo · 2010-05-18T15:20:33.000Z

Oh, it’s fuuuuun to char-ter an accoun-tant…

Abilio_Carvalho · 2010-05-19T09:58:06.000Z

that’s all fine, but “generally unpleasant rudeness” is a bit much for what’s basically an immature pun.

Dan_Lawrence · 2010-05-19T10:36:49.000Z

I’d say, at least in the UK, that its a pun that has unpleasant homophobic undertones.

AaronSofaer · 2010-05-19T14:39:40.000Z

New strip is up, and I approve entirely.

Aww… the Empress put on just a little… weight.

New comic is up.

I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. And bonus points for using the right word for throwing someone out of a window.

RyanMichael · 2010-05-27T07:27:16.000Z

I love that word. It’s just great to drop into a random insult. “Why don’t you find a tall building and defenestrate yourself?”

Miramon · 2010-05-27T08:44:46.000Z

If you defenestrate someone properly, they should bounce like a bad Czech.
