"In which the ring will not walk like a spider unless it is cheap enough."	[Sam] Uh, I can't seem to find the ring. / [Madeline] That is not a good thing! / [Sam] It most certainly is NOT! The romantic moment of "Will You Marry Me" doesn't quite work without the ring. / search dig / [Sam] I am getting filled with that hot uncomfortable "Today is not a good day" feeling. / [Madeline]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=472
"In which Sam breaks out into a panicky tangent about mystical ring-powers."	[Madeline] Alright, let’s be logical and grown up about this. There are basically only TWO places that this ring could be. / [Sam] A 25 cent spider ring wouldn’t be SUCH a bad engagement ring IF it were to be endowed with the ability to WALK! / [Madeline] Either you left the ring at Starbucks when we... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=473
"In which Sam searches the couch cushions to try to find the ring."	[Sam] Okay, we’re HERE. This is where I was sleeping last night. / [Madeline] On this couch? / [Sam] Yes. / [Madeline] You slept here? / [Sam] Yes. / [Madeline] You slept on this FILTHY couch? / [Sam] Mmm… / [Sam] Well, I haven’t found another place to live yet. Let’s see if we can find the ring somewhere... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=474
"In which Herbert is found to have thought up a ring-protection method"	[Herbert, as a voice from another room] SAM? Sam is that you? / [Sam] Hm? / [Madeline] Who is that? / [Sam] It’s Herbert… Um… Dude… what’s with the TAPE? / [Herbert] RRRRR…. Squirm / [Herbert] Well, I found your ringbox. But then Bruno JINXED me by suggesting I might LOSE it. So I suggested that... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=475
"In which big things come in small packages."	[Leyla] Sam looked pretty good at that New Year’s Party, huh? / [Nillan] Yeah. He sure had a crazy month, though. No wonder he didn’t call me. / [Cashier] $3.47, please. Thanks. / [Nillan] No problem. / [Leyla] I can’t believe he’s having a kid AND getting married. / [Nillan] He’s got a big year coming... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=476

"In which Nillan doesn't admit he actually got a hazelnut latté with sprinkles."	[Leyla] People DO grow up quickly, don't they? / [Nillan] Yes. Changes happen all the time. And if we're fortunate, sometimes we're even prepared for them. / [Leyla] I wonder how OLD people feel. Do you think they ever look around and find the world to be unrecognizable? / [Nillan] I don't know.... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=477
"In which Nillan drops his drink lid."	[Nillan] Making fun of the Starbucks-language is not entirely fair. Slang words are used by all sorts of industries! / [Leyla] "Venti" and "Grande" are more than slang. They're words specifically made up to invent a feeling of community. Words made up by a corporation. / [Leyla] Fundamental things... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=478
"In which Nillan wonders if replacing his dropped lid is necessary."	[Leyla] Did you drop the lid? / [Nillan] Do you think it is still clean? / [Leyla] Oh Nillan, just get a new cup lid. / [Nillan] I don't like to be wasteful. / [Leyla] It's not as if they cost money. / [Nillan] The trees won't like me much. / [Leyla] You aren't harming the environment! Plastic cup lids... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=479
"In which Nillan goes to get a new cup lid... almost."	[Leyla] Go on. Get a new cup lid. / [Nillan] The problem is -- I've forgotten what fancy SIZE of drink I have. Venti? Grande? Tall? It's all bastardized Italian to me. / [Nillan] If I get the wrong lid, it's not going to fit and I'll end up standing their for five minutes, frantically trying and... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=480
"In which Nillan, with some difficulty, picks out a new lid for his drink."	[Nillan] Did I tell you that I'm helping Sam move tomorrow? / [Leyla] No. / [Nillan] I'm borrowing my parent's minivan. / [Leyla] Will that fit everything? / [Nillan] Well, Sam has no actual furniture, just boxes of stuff. / [Leyla] Dear me! What will he sleep on? / [Nillan] We'll be stopping by IKEA in... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=481

"In which Nillan and Leyla debate the merits of the Spock grip."	[Leyla] The "DIRECTIONS" on those furniture things from Ikea ARE pretty difficult. / [Nillan, singing] "The shoulderbone's connected to the chest-bone..." / [Leyla] I'm pretty sure it's called a COLLAR-bone, not a shoulder-bone. / [Leyla] Also! "Chest Bone" is actually "Rib Cage." / [Nillan] But it's not... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=482
"In which Nillan misunderstands Leyla's use of the word 'butter'."	[Leyla] Did you hear about those two guys who just escaped jail? They "buttered themselves up," then they both slid through the bars. The thin one made it through and got out of jail, but the second guy had a paunch belly and couldn't quite fit. / [Nillan] Sorry, but HOW exactly would dressing up and... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=483
"In which the world needs a pony refill."	[Nillan] I wonder if Sam ever wishes that he could escape his currrent fate. / [Leyla] He seems somewhat content. I think he will striggle on by. / [Nillan] He is quitting school, you know? In order to make rent he's getting a job. / [Nillan] Sam and I were so similar growing up. I always imagined... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=484
"In which men are unfairly stereotyped."	[Nillan] Why do girls like ponies so much, anyways? / [Leyla] I don't really know. I suppose we're TOLD that we're supposed to like them when we're quite young. Sort of how BOYS like dinosaurs. / [Nillan] Hm. / [Nillan] Why DO boys idealize an extinct beast with a peanut-sized brain? / [Leyla] No comment. / [Bully... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=485
"In which Nillan wishes to defend Leyla's honour."	[Bully with a Unibrow] Seriously, dude... check that girl out over there! / [Blonde Bully] Hey baby! / [Bully with a handlebar mustache] She wants it, oh yeah! / rudeness alarm!!! / [Nillan] Are those guys talking lewd about YOU? / [Leyla] I think so, Nillan. / [Nillan] How dare they? Can't they see that... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=486

"In which Nillan feels some intense emotions."	[Nillan] I CAN take care of it, if you would like me to... after all, shirt sleeves are for rolling up... stubble is for INTIMIDATION. / [Leyla] There is no need! They are clueless teenagers. / [Nillan] All the more reason to spread edumacation! / [Blonde Bully] I think we're making her boyfriend mad! / [Bully... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=487
"In which bigger men are smaller."	[Leyla] Come, Nillan. Let's just leave this place. / [Nillan] I find it unfair that WE have to leave just because others are being OBNOXIOUS / [Blonde Bully] Heckling is so fun. / [Bully with Unibrow] He's LOST it! / [Leyla] Sometimes you just have to be the bigger MAN... / [Nillan] The physically smaller... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=488
"In which Nillan goes all cowboy"	[Nillan] Sometimes, I find the thought of being able to defend you against such oafs to be ROMANTIC. / [Nillan] I want to ride up on some big ol' horse... THEN, jump off and slug those goons on their chin like a cowboy or something. / [Leyla] TEE HEE. / [Nillan] Lift 'em up by their collars... toss... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=489
"In which Nill's fight skills are questioned, but his maid skills are extolled."	[Leyla] There are more CIVILIZED ways of solving feuds, dear. / [Nillan] Civilization is highly over-rated. / [Nillan] It's the so-called "civilized" countries that pollute the most, then criticize poorer nations for cutting down forests. / [Nillan] BESIDES... I'd prefer a good ol' fashion "dust-up"... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=490
"In which love is declared to be a quality that should have limits."	[Leyla] Where's the LOVE, my dear? Can't we all just get along? The world should have twice as much love in it! / [Nillan] Whoa there! Twice as much love would be a dangerous thing! / [Nillan] Fully HALF of the world's arguments start due to too much love! / [Juliet] Romeo! / [Romeo] Juliet! / [Rose]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=491

"In which Hollywood stars take up chastity and virtuous living."	[Leyla] Of all the types of fighting, family feuds are certainly the worst. / [Leyla] When I announced that I intended to head west for university, my parents were initially rather upset. / [Nillan] Hm. / [Nillan] I guess we're quite different that way. I stayed close to home... never rebelled in any... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=492
"In which Nillan is a natural dancer, quite literally."	[Nillan] I'm concerned for Sam, hon'. He's obviously had a major falling-out with his parents... / [Leyla] Have you ever had a falling out with your parents? / [Nillan] Not over anything SERIOUS. When I was fourteen I threatened to run away because they said I couldn't go to a school dance. / [Leyla]... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=493
"In which birds have bank accounts with more than bread crumbs in them."	[Jessica] February is here! / [Cinn] Another month of gloom and fog and rain. / [Jessica] Another month closer to boys and beaches and boys! Wait, I said "boys" already. ... And beaches. / [Jessica] I can't wait until "sweater season" is over! I am so SICK of being bundled and bounded. / [Cinn] The birds... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=494
"In which elephants should remember."	[Jessica] I always thought that you found rain pretty and sentimental. / [Cinn] I suppose that I do, at times. / [Jessica] I'M the one who hates the rain. It plugs up drains and floods basements. / [Cinn] Perhaps it's a bit more SEDIMENTAL than it is sentimental. / [Jessica] I'd take sediment over sentiment... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=495
"In which elephants are not people."	[Cinn] Elephants are NOT people. / [Jessica] It's a good thing they aren't, too. / [Jessica] The airlines would be FURIOUS. / [Cinn] ? / [Jessica] Elephants would be too large to fit in the seats on the plane. / [Elephant] ! / [Jessica] And they would be constantly nagging the stewardess for additional... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=496

"In which elephants would have a difficult time playing poker, as well."	[Jessica] Too bad elephants can't board airplanes though. They would truly make fine spies. Truly. / [Cinn] Why? / [Jessica] Well, first they have such large ears. Surely they hear great distances with such ears. Then, of course, they have such a big trunk with which to sniff out clues! / [Finally,... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=497
"In which elephants distract from a lack of dates."	[Jessica] How'd we end up talking about ELEPHANTS this whole time? / [Cinn] I dunno. A convenient way of avoiding an uncomfortable discussion of our respective love lives as Valentine's Day approaches, perhaps. / [Jessica] Speak for yourself! I've got men galore phoning me for dates! *RING RING RING... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=498
"In which Jessica has Valentine's Day rules."	[Cinn] You're the last person I'd expect to be single on Valentine's Day. / [Jessica] I have stricter dating standards for Feb. 14th. / [Jessica] Rules, if you want to call them that... / [Jessica] Rule #1: A Valentine's date cannot be a first date. It's just too WEIRD. Too much pressure for a first... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=499
"In which Cinn feels that a relationship is a long way off."	[Jessica] Hey Cinn! How was your Valentine's Day? / [Cinn] It was LOVELY. I rented a sad movie and sat alone. / [Jessica] No men on the horizon. / [Cinn] Oh, there are plenty of men on the horizon. / [Cinn] But only if, by "horizon" you mean "A place very far away." http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=500
"In which Orphan Annie is given an update."	[Jessica] You are ever so GOOD-AND-MISERABLE sometimes, Cinn! Remember, the horizon may seem far away sometimes, but it is where the sun RISES, 'hon! And like that old song says, "I bet a million dollars that the sun will come out tomorrow." / [Cinn] Orphan Annie did not have a million bucks. You... http://lucastds.com/webcomic/index.php?strip_id=501
