and I have also come from QC, he recommended you in the comments for today's comic. Expect more traffic. ^.^ I also like your comics a lot, AND I'm an electrical engineer at Univ. of MD, college park, ending my first year. But I don't have stress wrinkles yet, nor will I think I'll get them...I'm a Keener, you see. :( But at least the professors here acknowledge outliers and don't decrease grades. Some get a little statistics-happy, though :(

I'm also here because I saw the recommendation from QC.
I just finished my degree in Math Ed, and I only get about half of your engineering stuff... but I love it anyway! Consider yourself to have a new regular! :D
It certainly is a comfort to hear that it takes people a while to understand you, too... I always tell my hubby that others don't understand my "Retta-speak."

College Park, Maryland for some reason reminds me of Panic At The Disco.
These jokes are good until it goes:
"You suck."
"Your mom sucks." <--bad.
In one of my math classes, my friends and I would sit there and make stupid mom jokes (we're all white nerds, we cannot pull it off, so why try?). Ex: "Your mom drinks Coke. Diet Coke."

Mile: Yeah, well maybe YOU'RE ok!

In our class everyone has his own speaking habits. Strange thing is, after 4 years, everyone uses not his own "dialects" but that of the person he's talking to^^

Ahaha this reminds me of a time in my chem class when I asked my friend how many moles are in some amount of some compound I cant remember. He just looked at me and said "...you're a mole." This kind of talk is normal to me.

It's actually a little scary how close this is to how one of my best friends and I talk to each other. Everyone around us just thinks we're batshit crazy, which makes it so much fun to talk like that in public.

Oh my god, you talk like me ><
I just started reading Wasted Talent today, Jeph wrote about it on QC, and now I really love it !
xx
So there ARE others of us out there!
"Your FACE is a veggie eggroll!" and such.

Amg, more QCians! Huzzah. I intend to read it all. *twitch, twitch*
twichy bad! but yes, QC rox and this comic is cool too. When I had roomies we had our own references and inside jokes like this kind of thing.
10 points if you know this quote
"Its the FAR-gate!!! From the makers of FINdependence day! We will put a mohawk and a wheelchair if you can't tell the difference"
roomie spouted it all the time

Big welcome to QC folk :D
Hi! I go to school with several people who talk like this. When they have a girlfriend or boyfriend.. well, it's exactly like your cute couple comic.
I'm sure it's getting old by now, but I'm here from QC as well. I really like what I've seen so far!

Yayness, we gots welcomed. xD
(Another QC'er here!)
I use these sorts of phrases with my mates all the time:
"Can you pass me that tool?"
"YOUR a tool!" :p
(from QC as well) I'm really enjoying the comic so far, 4th year electronic engineering girl-student from South Africa...whooo
'Nother QCer! Love this comic! Very inspirational for me to get off my ass to get my own online ;)
Love it so far!

hahaha, I do this too! LOL!
It's just something I do.
Some people don't understand my humour...
Makes me sad
People look at me strange when I talk like this... :(
I do that all the time
you have an awesome dialect. i must learn it!

huh, you'd think it'd take longer.....

I actually got punched for talking to a friend like this, 3 years later, I still dont dare to *whimpers in a dark corner*
