A year and some change later, I was just told that femurs are the largest bones in the body and therefore the best source of bone marrow, so it’s possible she WOULD need them to live…??
As an Area Director (Yours might be called Residence Directors? It’s different everywhere lol) , I’ll let you know that it’s not always a bad thing to scare the crap out of your Residents.
Better to start off as the heavy, and have them respect you, then start of fluffy and have them walk all over you. 🙂
I will rip out your femurs to test that, I bet you’d die from the lack of femurs… or the blood pouring out of the stumps that are left from me ripping off your femurs.
You TECHNICALLY don’t need your Femurs to live… But if someone ripped out the largest bone in your leg, the gaping wound it would leave would have you bleed out in… I’d be willing to bet on about a minuet, if that… Not to mention the fact that she would be beating you with it…
Years ago, I learned from an Itchy and Scratchy short that “You need a heart to live.” Now, thanks to Dumbing of Age, I know that you also need femurs to live. Geeky pastimes have saved my life!
Not sure where else to put this… on my bookmarks toolbar, the Joyce icon for DoA keeps turning into the Ethan icon for SP, usually right after I actually go to the SP site. What’s up with that?
Aren’t some important cells for the immune system or the blood or something produced in the femurs? I think the lack of them would cost your health, and later your life…
I like how Sarah is consistently strung up as a villain by commenters later, and, yet, here she is just introduced, and right away is not only tolerant of her roommate’s conservative leanings, she just invited her out to what is generally considered a socially normal activity.

I can’t tell if Joyce is scared, or about to SWALLOW YOUR SOUL
David Herbert
Both. Souls will give her courage and keep her innocent.
Chad from Canada
Why do you think the Christians are always recruiting? They need the souls.
Jabberwocky
Damn, you’ve uncovered our diabolical scheme.
Digidestined of Trust (Tim)
Not true
thomas0comer
We just really like the taste of them.
Compass
What could she possibly need femurs fo-…
Oh. I see.
RandomPerson12
I don’t.
Dierna
Joyce listens to the Gorillaz?
CyberSkull
Lousy homeschool education. You don’t need femurs to live, they are just really nice and convenient!
Joe
To be fair, if Joyce has her own femurs, Ruth can’t beat her to death with them.
Jenny Creed
Oh, I think she’d still find a way to make her die with them.
Wackd
Damn. Knew selling mine on the black market was a crap idea.
Alan / Falcon
This will haunt my dreams.
For a week.
Thanks, Willis.
loneislander
Pfft, bring Ruth on. I don’t need no Femurs.
Laurel
Joyce’s non-existent pupils are coming back to consume her eyeballs!
Also, I thought femurs were on notice.
Erik
As an RA myself, I worry about doing this to my residents. (Scaring the crap outta them, not removing body parts)
Malph
Wait, RAs aren’t supposed to scare the shit out of you or threaten to remove body parts?
Trae Dorn
When I was in college, I was the Judicial Board Chair…
…and I scared the crap out of my RA instead. 😛
Jeff
I was the j-board chair toooooooooo
Erik
Only if we’re on duty, 😛

“I need my femurs to live”
Not exactly but one cannot deny that it would be something dearly missed in the case of lost.
Tom
But you don’t need your femurs to live…

MrGBH
Silly Joyce, femurs are entirely optional.
Zudarkness
Joyce needs a pizza. someone order her a pizza.
Besides taht arn’t RA suppose to be like The Douglar from Undergrads?

The Dougler’s certainly more like the ones I had… But I’m sure there’s as many Ruths as Douglers.

I saw this comic first today, cause I haven’t been back reading. I proceeded to misread femurs as lemurs.
Then I saw Ruth, and was all like awesome and such.

Silly Joyce, you don’t need your femurs to live. You need your spleen to live.

Joyce_Brown.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

psst, femurs are overrated.

Pizza is always more delicious when flaunting authority.
Aisling
LOL “I NEED MY FEMURS TO LIVE!!” I instantly thought of Invader Zim.
Mousa The 14
That was fast. I thought it’d take far longer for someone or something to freak her out.
