Okay, this one reminds me of when I was playing Apples to Apples and the description card was "Sexy" when I was the dealer. (Note: in Apples to Apples, noun cards with "My..." refer to the dealer.) Someone laid down "My Body" as a noun card. (Also Note: I was a big fat guy.) I shouted out, "Okay! Who threw my body?" That got a big laugh...until my sister answered with "It was all I had!" Then the room exploded.

It says a lot that I had to Wiki the ruleset for Apples to Apples in order to get that joke, but it was still pretty funny.

Also, in a general sense, I like the increasing tendency in the comic towards the use of *facepalms.*

That reminds me of one of the jokes from a game where a friend of mine hadall his towns on brick and it kept filling up his hand.

Yay Tasselhoff! =D Nice to know that there's somebody in that apartment to keep Dustin's geekdom within the realm of reason. ^,^

Well, Jess hasn't freaked out...

...Yet.

Although she does look bemused.

The fact that Mark seems to be just as confused or bored at the games they've been playing together is sure to be helping. She is at the very least polite.

We'll see her true colors when they leave.

The card game they're playing has elements of Fluxx, but I don't remember those exact cards. Maybe it's a pirate edition. :D

Dictionary didn't recognize that one.

Also, that's three letters changed. You loose.

One would think Defem Evil would change an evil person from a woman into a man (or possibly into androgyny).
