    As long as they’re by the window.

    Or, hell, find her bike and put the traps on THAT.

    Still won’t work. Unless you trap the windows.

    No one ever checks the windows. Or looks up, for that matter.

        Leslie probably still looks up, unless the SciFi channel (No, I will NOT spell it correctly) doesn’t exist in this universe.

        What floor are they on? I imagine her and her bike could arrange a window anywhere up to third.

        Since when does Sal use openings of any kind? She’d just go through the wall.

        1. dchorror

          04/25/2011, 8:52 am

          She doesn’t have super strength here, so she may have to resort to openings that already exist.

          Roomies-generation Sal stuck to windows. It’s only later that she just made her own entrances.

        Sal is basically like Santa, she can fit her body through any hole that it can fit her head through.

        Or was that Spider-Man.

          Joeing her stuff would undoubtly result in ickky stains, so it is for the best that you don’t go there.

        Using ones penis is unsanity. You just leave them a note saying, “Something in your room has been in your toliet. Good luck finding out what.” I know any college dorm person could go relatively insane trying to figure out just WHAT you put in their toliet.

        1. Rognik

          04/25/2011, 2:51 pm

          Especially if nothing got dumped in the toilet at all! Paranoia abounds!

      I hadn’t thought of that. They would have known each other as kids, right? I mean, if Billie and Walky are still childhood friends, and Walky and Sal weren’t separated at birth…

      Crazy theory that probably has no merit whatsoever: Billie had something to do with the convenience store incident, but Sal ended up taking all the blame.

        Yeah. Besides, she went to elementary school with the Walkertons. Even if she hasn’t seen a lot of Sal lately, “like Walky but a chick” would be a pretty good guess.

    Replace 8:00 with 7:15 and give the main character a penis, and that just about describes every morning for me in college!

    I loved that one time I was up until 5:00 three nights in a row fixing footnotes (senior thesis), and at the end of the week, I just hallucinated my way through the day.

      She already got an ass beating once this week. She doesn’t need another one (which may or may not be worse than anything Ruth can do to her).

      Then Sal just takes Billie’s bed. Wouldn’t work until both beds were occupied by warm bodies.

    I didn’t recognize Billie without her glasses at first. For an instant I thought it was a fatter Robin waking up from a Cadbury Creme Egg bender (just after Easter, you know).

    Also, is the first frame implying that they live on the top floor? If so, I’m very impressed by Sal’s wall-climbing abilities.

        That happens in every dimension. Even this one. Robin just wakes up from the Insulin Shock in SP! instead of dying from her pancreas going “NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~GASP. X_X”

    Instead of bear traps, she should get herself one of the motion tracker from Aliens.
    Billie: I’ve got something! thirty meters…twenty-five…
    Sarah: She got past the barricades?
    Billie: Twelve meters…six…two…
    Sarah: That inside the room!
    Billie: It’s readin’ right man!
    Walky: She must have found anothe way in, something we missed…
