Remember, kids: the difference between screwing around and science is writing the results down!
Also, if you like Mythbusters look up “Smyths”. They’re fan edits of that cut out the redundancy and explanation of the obvious, and reassembles two segments per episode so you’re not constantly jumping back and forth between myth A and myth B. They’re actually really good!
You also need to write down your method and what you hoped would happen. 😉
anonamousethatscurriesinthedarkness
Well the hoped for results is an option depending on what the original question was.
A) What happens when ….. (you have no idea and just document)
B) What do you need to do to get …… (you have an idea and are trying to find a way to make it happen)
Clif
Either way, let’s hear it for screwing around for science.
BBCC
Scientific method requires a hypothesis, hence why I said what you hoped/thought would happen.

In my book, “I wonder what happens if…” is good enough to justify some screwing-around quasi-science!
She could also be fine with it since bi wouldn’t make her think “I disgust him so much he won’t touch ny woman ever again”. He’s just also into dudes.
Although yeah, the exes getting together might be weird at first.
TrueVCU
I dunno, I’ve heard horror stories of straight women being REPULSED the second they find out a dude is bi
thejeff
Unlikely with Amber. I could be wrong, but I’ll bet those straight women aren’t best friends with gay dudes.
The combination is likely to disturb her though – all my boyfriends start liking dudes and particularly each other.
Nono
Oh, they can be. There’s a weird disconnect with fetishism, where it’s hot if it’s not happening to you.
Finding out a guy might be bisexual might be totally up Amber’s alley, but finding out a guy she’s into? Suddenly it’s weird.
deliverything
Then again, she might attempt to take advantage of it instead. Many people are shippers, but few can ensure their ships sail merely by dating them.
LeslieBean4shizzle
Yeah, that baffles me.
Then again, being bi myself, I have always preferred bi partners.
Although that also has its issues. Like how everyone assumes I’m a lesbian just because I married a (bi) woman.
Amber, you aren’t considering the possibilities, you crazy fujoshi!
Also, Danny at this time should stop any future girlfriend/boyfriend from meeting Walky. Walky gets anyone that has ever been interested in Danny, even Joyce in the Walkyverse.
Danny really needs to stop putting Amber’s happiness before his own. She obviously does not return even a fraction of that consideration toward him. It’s starting to feel a little unhealthy at this point.
Yeah, their relationship was too much one sided from the beginning, with Amber not wanting to make it official and using her alter ego to date Danny. Danny just has terrible luck with women and men.

The hat’s close enough, but can she grow a sufficient mustache?

“Smyths” gets it. I’ve always thought that Mythbusters was a great half-hour show, expanded to an hour with boring crap.
ValdVin
Danny, if your hat’s not there, shouldn’t your eyebrows be floating above your head?
Felix
Who says they aren’t?
Eyebrow
His eyes have been wandering around his face and forehead through most of today. He’s obviously quite perturbed.
fire_daws
That’s Joyce, not Danny.
King Daniel
When was the last time we saw Danny hatless?
Danielle
that should be its own tag, hatless danny
Marsh Maryrose
To the tune of Warren Zevon’s “Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner:”
“Danny, the hatless slashfic lover”
Needfuldoer
Yesterday.
Real answer: about a year ago, in class.
Bagge
Danny knows the importance of hats
Bagge
…as does Dina
Ed Rhodes
Are they potential Jaegermonsters?
Wizard
And now I’m picturing the epic battles where they won their respective hats.
Bagge
…Danny defeated a hipster in ukulele duel?
Geneseepaws
If you wrote that up I would read the hell out of it.
(Provided you have the time?)
anonamousethatscurriesinthedarkness
I am split between a remake of Deliverance or El Kabong.
Bagge
Heh, I don’t think I could do it justice.
(and I don’t know that much about hipsters OR ukulele, so it would probably miss the target by a mile)
Inahc
That reminds me, I bought myself a ukulele this summer, and I swear half the Steven Universe songs contain Bwtf# :p

“I guess it’s not that surprising. I mean, have you seen that bike?”
Keulen
I have a feeling Amber might start writing slash fics about Danny if she finds out he’s bi.
Nono
Or, as Danny fears, a second ex-boyfriend being into dudes might send her into a spiral of self-blame.
Diner Kinetic
Or she’ll be cool with it since it’s not triggering a breakup? #optimism2019

I think the second ex-boyfriend being into specifically the previous ex-boyfriend would be the real kicker of the ordeal.
SillyGoose
She could also be fine with it since bi wouldn’t make her think “I disgust him so much he won’t touch ny woman ever again”. He’s just also into dudes.

Never presume Dina does not have hats at her disposal.
Jhon
Or ninjas.

Dina is really starting to get the hang of social interaction. I think she’s been the LEAST awkward person in this whole exchange.
Doctor_Who
In the land of the blind…
Nono
Drew though! He just walked by and got a booty call scrambling after him.
AeromechanicalAce
I consider Drew an outside actor on the situation. He wasn’t sitting on the floor.
Nono
Audience participation is still participation!

Someone feels awkward, make sure they aquire a piece of clothing. Easy peasy!

It she knew you also like dudes she would probably star writing fan fiction about herself as the meat in a Walky-Amber-Danny sandwich, dude.
DailyBrad
Buy Walky some pizza, and you can probably make it a reality.
Meagan
Nice callback!
Deanatay
I think Walky would rather be in a pizza, rather than a sandwich.
Sunny
How about a pizza sandwiched between two other pizzas?
anonamousethatscurriesinthedarkness
That would be a Stromboli or a Calazone which a variations on the pizza as a sandwich theme.
thejeff
If I understand Amber’s interests, she’s more likely to focus on Ethan/Danny (or Walky/Danny) without herself involved.

This strip, the alt-text, the hat- beautiful

Thank Willis incest isn’t happening now that I remember Sal and Danny’s past.

Well, Billie.

Oh Jegus!

These are really good Danny faces.
Eyebrow
With hypermobile eyes, wand’ring from his cheeks to his forehead and back.
Tacos
Wait, Danny wasn’t wearing his hat? How’d I not notice it?
abysswatcher1993
The same reason Joyce only notices his hat: he has become a cosmic punching bag.
fire_daws
I think you mean he was always a cosmic punching bag.

Yeah, their relationship was too much one sided from the beginning, with Amber not wanting to make it official and using her alter ego to date Danny. Danny just has terrible luck with women and men.
