“Joyce has only recently started to grasp the concept of “slang.””
Actually, “bouncing your eyes” means that one is supposed to condition himself from not staring at his or her object of affection, which is lustful, since lusting is bad. Apparently the term comes from the fact that our eyes have a tendency to gravitate towards things that sexually please us but since it’s rude to stare at a woman’s chest, you should immediately look away a soon as you catch yourself doing that, thus creating a “bouncing” effect with your eyes.

Thank you Einar for the highly informative comment. ^^
(P.S- Not sarcasm.)
(P.P.S- Seriously, what is wrong with the internet that I feel the need to explain that it’s not sarcasm?)
Bouncing of the eyes comes from the contemporary men’s purity movement (see Every Man’s Battle) where men who don’t want to look lustfully on a woman train themselves to reflexively bounce their eyes away from eye candy.

Sounds like she needs to go see a gastroenterologist. One should not be shitting bananas.

Unless you’re from the Night-O-Sphere.

Shitting bananas from your ears.

I think “This my stuff” is a way better lyric. if only because I find it hilarious.

Joyce is Totally Radical.
Jen Aside
Also, is she saying it’d better be Dorothy…?
Tunaro
Is-is she trying to imply a threesome?
Oh wait, Walky.
4-way?
Doc Harleen
Yeah, the “bounce” sounded funny to me, too, but it’s Joyce so…? (Not sure where to go with that, really. I guess Tunaro’s got it right.)
Also, Jen – I love your avatar. I love it much.

truly you are all completely unfamiliar with fundie slang
Ongion
Oh, huh. I learned something today!
Tom Speelman
…but does Joyce have…fundie SWAG?

I’m sure her bible is blinged to the max

Man, who considers “ladies are wearing less clothing” to be a problem?
sep332
Anyone who feels like having control over their own level of sexuality?
Kladeos
I’m into the ladies and I’ve never found it hard not to ogle scantily dressed women.
Vash
I find it hard not to ogle anybody in scanty clad.
Kladeos
Don’t go to a Pride Parade or Caribbean festival.
stevecharb
Take a cold shower and either learn to control that thing in your pants or lose the privilege to use it.
Charlie Spencer
I don’t know what ‘fundie’ is, much less it’s slang. Does it have anything to do with those powdered onion rings?
Kladeos
Fundamental Christian.

PeterW
I suspected that’s what it was. Eyes fall on eye candy, eyes bounce away.
Tunaro
Run Joe. Run like you’re on fire.
Doctor_Who
If he waits he won’t have to pretend.

So light em up up up
Light em up up up

I do believe I’m on fire.

THERE IS SPY IN BASE! WERE IS SASCHA!?

In hindsight, I could’ve kept the puns going by just typing “MMPH MMMPPHHH MMPPH!” But I like Heavy, so fuck it.

THAT HEAVY IS A SPY!

YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME.

He’s not heavy…he’s my brother?

Irony: Joyce unlocked his fetish for beatings
Doctor_Who
He now has nightly dreams about Mike.

See, but if Mike knew you wanted him to hit you…

I’m suddenly reminded of this QC strip.

Not sure if I’d subscribe to that specific brand of death by Snu Snu

Ah yes, the sadomasochist’s dilemma

Oh damn, he must’ve got one of them combustible heads.

I read an article all about them!

He’s on fi-ire
He’s on fi-i-i-ire
I won’t lie
HE’S ON FIRE!
Doc Harleen
Yeah, I don’t see Joe/Sarah (Jarah? Soe?) happening in this universe.
Tunaro
I dunno. Hatesex seems to be kinda a recurring thing in Willis’ stories.
Doc Harleen
Fair point!
saltchocolate
I’m with it. “Epic,” I believe, is the term.
Princesscarlos
The most epic of hate-fucks, to be exact
Kladeos
They’d be the snarkiest couple! I like this pairing because we all know that Sarah would have all the power.
NightmareWarden
If I may be even more blunt than usual for a moment… I think most of us would agree that Sarah really needs to get laid.
Kladeos
I disagree. I think she’s great the way she is! Just a little lonely, but that’s being fixed by Joyce & co.
zaratustra
If anyone could get Joe to behave, it would be Sarah.
The kid
For some reason i’m feeling a Sarah/Mike right now….
Opus the Poet
Joe you so stupid.
