WHEN you punch guys who are five times your size in the stomach and only to result in a light "Bap!".

As well as

(Yes, I have done both.)

When you drive through a town called Chester and have the sudden, horrible feeling that it's peopled by nobodies.
(No kidding, you guys.)

You drive past Jones County several times a month, and think of a certain blonde stoic. Every. Single. Time.

I know, it's supposed to cover the eyes. But one can hope...

Pepo, it didn't work because you forgot to make the "Zoop!" sound effect at the same time.
I can almost guarantee, if you look at someone with a stern face and cry "Zoop!" while clenching your fist at them, it's bound to get them to stop talking, at least for a moment...

Da*n, you're right! I'll try it in front of my boss come Monday morning ;D

OK cool, let us know how it goes.
And when you unclench your fist again, be sure to go "Ksssshhhh...."

When you see boxbot in the default profile picture on Twitter. Why are there so many terrible twitterers? (Helloooo!) At least it's not just me. Of course that is because twitter is just shouting HELLOOOOOOO into the vast abyss of the internet and hoping someone pays attention. It makes you feel a little terrible. You try to force your wolf toy to talk to you

Have you tried getting your hair to stick up? I had this happen by accident one time when I took a nap after taking a shower, and woke up with my hair standing up on end. I wasn't even remotely into GKC (I didn't even know about it at the time), but if that happened to me now, I'd be making jokes about Red all day. "MAKE IT STICK UP! UP!"

You know you're a fan of Gunnerkrigg when: -you stay away from plants that look like arms -you purchase a white wolf toy to ward off the school bully -you are convinced that most ancient mythological heroes are birthday-crashing jerks
You can bet you're addicted to GC when: -you know the name of the font Tom uses for the comic -gunnerkrigg.com happens to be your homepage -you set GC as the homepage for all the units in your school's computer lab -you apologize to every insect you accidentally stepped on, for fear of Ketrak showing up
-you suspect your mother befriended a wild, orange-furred wolf in her youth -you WISH your mother befriended a wild, orange-furred wolf in her youth -you go on hiking trips aimed at befriending any wild, orange-furred canines -you are convinced that unquestionable popularity is one hair-do away -you try to tamper with your school's motion-detection system and, when caught, complain about the school's apparent lack of trust in etheric sciences as a valid security measure (seriously, whose school has those anyway?)
-you panic at the sight of seeds inside school grounds, screaming "YSENGRIN'S DONE IT AGAIN" -you try to convince the ducks in your local pond into becoming human -you throw yourself over a bridge whilst in front of your gym teacher in the hopes of him giving away his secret identity as a super-powered-dragon-slaying-monster-fighting machine
-you devote your life into honing your physical ability to its peak and apply as a games/gym teacher at an exclusive boarding school praying that you can either a.) get recruited into the order of Dragon Slayers, or b.) perpetuate the cycle of "A noble act cannot be dismissed" scenes.
Whew. Here's me hoping I made at least some sense.

-You use "terrible" and "Boxbot" interchangeably in conversation. -You crash your friend's computer (which has one of the best video cards in existence) making a Boxbot on Garry's Mod. (Sorry Schiffy!) -You put off important jobs and activities trying to come up with "You know you are a GC fan when"'s. -You research flowers to find out what the heck Jones gave Annie and Rey. -You try to walk through fire because your mother told you she'd never send you into harm's way.
You know you're a City Face fan when... -"Super triple sweet" and "a little less exactly the same as usual" become everday descriptions.
Okay, Boxbot himself didn't crash the computer--though his terribleness should have--but I was making a "take over the world" type Boxbot, and his laser-vision crashed the computer. I still blame him though.

What, Per, did you miss the whole Cookies thread?

C-cookies?
*goes to check*
I did! I don't actually follow most of the non-comic threads. Also I knew that some people knew what font it was, and there's been those who thought I knew, but I didn't know that it had ever been revealed on the board.
It's a great thread! Only went on for four days, though - is the joke over, or should we resurrect it? And what's the deal with cookies anyway?
