Sal’s back! In magnet form!
You can pledge for the Dumbing of Age Book 7 Kickstarter at the SUDDENLY SAL MAGNET tier if you want Sal to come along with your book, or you can choose her as part of the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE tiers! And, of course, if you put down for COMPLETE MAGNET POWER, she’s been added to your pile.

It’s true- if you talk enough, someone will pay you to shut up. My family does it for me all the time 😀

According to Carrie Fisher, on the set of Star Wars, Alec Guinness once gave Mark Hamill 20 pounds to stop asking him questions about his career. (It’s somewhere in the middle of this transcript.)
Needfuldoer
He then spent the next twenty-three years paying people to ask him about his career outside of Star Wars.
Goshii
Isn’t it ironic?
C.T Phipps
While Alec Guiness did tell kids to stop watching Star wars, he did say that he would always love and respect George Lucas for being the only director and producer in Hollywood who gave him what he considered a fair portion of the money. “Lots and lots of money.”
LookingIn
Well in his defense, an awful lot of his work was done with his voice so people never realized that it was his voice to some of their favorite characters.
He will never be topped as the Joker. Never.
nobodybasically
Needfuldoer’s talking about Alec Guinness, not Mark Hamill.
Dean
For just a second I thought, ‘Holy carp, Alec Guinness played the Joker?!’
Needfuldoer
Yeah, Mark seems pretty content with his lot in life. He’s got one exceptionally big screen role and a broad range of voice acting under his belt, so everyone knows him from somewhere but he can usually still get a surprised “oh that was you?”
Alec Guinness saw Obi Wan as just another role, and was famously uncomfortable with it overwhelming his public image when Star Wars grew far bigger than anyone ever expected.
NelC
He’ll always be George Smiley to me. And Colonel Nicholson. And Yevgraf. And Prince Feisal. And The Man in the White Suit. And Professor Marcus. Not to mention various members of the D’Ascoyne family….
Nothri
I thought lifehacks were what Jason voorhees does with an axe.
Arawn
Amber can sense when her step-brother is called her brother? That’s Amazing.
jeffepp
Flashbacks to That’s Incredible. Crap, I just dated myself again.
Dark
Only if you watched it during the original airing.
StClair
*puts up hand*
StClair
“Real People”, too.
jeffepp
Oy vey.
Be that as it may.
I’m pretty sure they used the same studio.
EvilMidnightLurker
In my defense, I was a small child when I liked both shows.
Agemegos
At least it’s cheaper than dating someone else.
Sambo
Even when sleeping! Amazing!
Kernanator
She may not have the greatest superpower ever, but it’s still a superpower!
Woobie
She has both.
Doctor_Who
Now, did it happen instantaneously, or was there a light speed delay in the information being relayed? I need to know if causality was violated.
hof1991
Quantum entanglement.
Needfuldoer
She’s been repeating that every 47 seconds, like clockwork, since she fell asleep. It just happened to line up this time.
Clif
That sounds plausible.
Roborat
She did forget to sneeze, however.

Money is always a solution. Shame I don’t have any.

All you need it cash~
All you need is cash~
All you need is cash, cash
Cash is all you need!
Marsh Maryrose
Your love gives me lots of thrills
But your love won’t pay my bills
(I always hear this in the Flying Lizards cover.)
Clif
Money isn’t always the solution. Sometimes it’s the precipitate.
tofuman
Chemist humor!
adjudicus
Yes, definitely! Depending on the situation, some people tend to react very explosively when money is brought up.
thejeff
“If you’re not part of the solution, …”
Roborat
Wait, the Flying Lizards version is a cover? I did not know that.
Remmington Steele
Money is a gas as the philosopher Floyd once said.
UniqueSnowflake2
Money talks. Usually it says “goodbye.”
Yumi
I don’t tend to talk much, but if I could get someone to pay me to shut up, I’d start.
Koms
I was hoping to make the same comment.
Keulen
I’m usually the quiet person who can’t get a word in because everyone else is talking too much.
Plasma Mongoose
Sounds like a plan to me.
leadsynth
The new magnet…”Sal’s back”…. Get it? 😀
Deanatay
Yep, it definitely is.
Passchendaele
Neither sleep nor space will stop Amber from correcting you about Faz’s identity. *You have been warned.*
King Daniel
In brightest day, in darkest night, no one calling Faz her brother shall escape her sight.
Brotato
The hero we needed.
Robert
Did…did Amber just break the fourth wall?
Schpoonman
Nope.
0kami
No, she just broke physics.
Clif
She’s amazing that way.
King Daniel
So should the chapter be renamed to “FFFFFFFFFF Is Great”?
Clif
Book title.
FacelessDeviant
I remember Louis CK doing a bit on naming his kid “Fffffffffff”.
Reltzik
Billie is born into wealth, thinks life is a popularity contest, and slips people money to be silent. Obviously presidential material.
Dean
Billington/Keener in 2032, “We’re Still Fixing Trump’s Mistakes.”
Needfuldoer
At the comic’s current pace, they’ll be age 35 (minimum to become President) sometime around 3150, give or take a decade or two.
Chris Phoenix
And still fixing Trump’s mistakes.

Billingtobot/Keenerdroid, 3152 – We Can’t Fix These Mistakes, But We Can Avoid Making More. Here, Have 20 Walkybucks.
JessWitt
45 is failing that last qualification.
C.T Phipps
I believe in Robyn/Becky far more than I’ll ever believe in Dorothy/Anyone. She’s basically the Mondale of DOA characters.
Pablo360
Wait, neither Amber nor Amazi-Girl is tagged. How will I know which alter sleep-mumbles her relation to the great Faz?
King Daniel
Usually we’d be able to tell from the cheek-blushes, but it’s kind of hard to tell with the current shading. I think it’s Amber, though.
No Name
If you look veeeeery closely, you’ll see Amber’s cheek blush sticker things.
Yumi
Well, Amber is the one who’s name is said…but perhaps it’s meant to be like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop: who cares.
Yumi
And Amber’s tagged now. (Also, once when I was home sick as I kid, I licked a Tootsie Pop to the center. But I forget the number I got now.)
Inahc
amber is tagged now. 🙂
No Name
Well, at least we know Amber actually is asleep, so that’s good.
CJ
Didn’t Joe take over Faz to allow Amber and Danny to have sex?
Agemegos
Yes, but he failed to secure the co-operation of either Amber or Danny in his plan.
