Look familiar?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

What?  Inconcievable!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

(you also misspelt it)

[VSMIT]

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

VSMIT.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Let me put it this way; Ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates?


Morons.

;-]

(and that's probably enough of that, thanks.)

[Naldru]

Wasn't it the Red Queen in Alice Through the Looking Glass who said something about well-behaved words should always mean what you meant them to mean.

inconceivable -- According to the Apple Dictionary - not capable of being imagined or grasped mentally; unbelievable

I believe that the rule being refered to is "i before e except after c or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh"

Sample:  The concept of the posters on this forum learning proper spelling and grammar is completely inconceivable.  For that reason, there's no point worrying about it.

By the way, my favorite philosophers are Galileo and Benjamin Franklin.

Too late. I've already got a radar lock on you.

Weapons free. Fire at will.

... But I'd rather fire at Wesley...

aaaaaaaaaaas yooooooooooou wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish *thumpthumpthumpthud!*

Do you think this is a trap?

The loser is nothing. Only the Princess matters.

What?  Inconceivable!

Hooray for Princess Bride references Awsome movie
I love the "you keep using that word" line
I need to dig it out of strorage and watch it again...been freaking forever...

Anyone want a peanut? 

[Turnsky]

She doesn't hold the right for the concept of Succubi and Incubi, but she does hold her exact incarnation of them. I think...

Well, her idea is pretty different from the classical ones.

her idea of 'em aren't uglier than a bucket full of bums, either. =p
to be honest, all creative inspiration i can follow of 'em all come back to her 'cubi, y'see.

*Charles stabs Charles with wing tentacles!*  Don't worry, he's only mostly dead, which means he's a little alive!

*Alondro pops up*  All dead and there's only one thing you can do.  Go through their pockets and look for loose change.

I'm not seeing whatever it is everyone else s seeing, I must be blind. Someone explain it to me, so that I can get the full enjoyment of the moment.

At the risk of overexplaining, Turnsky has an established webcomic known as The Foxfire Chronicles.  Over the last few years the main character, Luke Reid, has been turned into a fox, given wings and now finds himself stranded on the world of Ariannia in a tattered shirt and jeans.  In the current strip he is purchasing some more appropriate garments.  The shopkeeper offers him a robe suspiciously similar to Dan's, and then a kilt suspiciously similar to Abel's.

I'm assuming you're asking for an explanation of the comic discussed on the first page of the thread, not the babble that comes after it   

[Fex]

oooo I now see its Abel's skirt =3

[Netrogo]

inconceivable -- According to the Apple Dictionary - not capable of being imagined or grasped mentally

That part of the definition technically makes the word an impossibility. Nothing is inconceivable because to be able to say it's inconceivable you have to first know of it. If I say a talking box is inconceivable I'm wrong, because I just thought of it myself in order to say it's not.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

If you look -really- closely, there's a footnote in the comic, as well. ;-]

[xHaZxMaTx]

I was wondering if anyone noticed that.   After all, you don't normally put an asterisk after a word for nothing.

That's actually what tipped me off about Abel's gear... I might not have noticed otherwise.

[Naldru]

I absolutely missed the reference to The Princess Bride until you pointed it out.  I just hope this doesn't mean that the moderators are going to pass out liquid refreshments with poison in all of the cups.

That's OK, I've been building up an immunity to Iocane powder for several years.

[VSMIT]

So I won't drink out of the cup in front of you .

VSMIT.

[Tapewolf]

You know what might be nice?  Moving the Princess Bride stuff into its own thread.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Or we could just stop. Yes, that sounds like a much better plan.

HINT HINT.

Good movie, but enough is enough. Not that I'm being subtle or anything. ;-]

If it -does- continue, then I will shift it all to it's own thread. In the Mine. Locked.

[AnizInDisguise]

This topic caused me to have to read the entire comic so far, thanks a lot topic creator.

And if you're reading this Turnsky, nice comic. Really hope the hiatus isn't that long.

Well, you can describe certain properties of the object without being able to imagine the object. Not 'a talking box', maybe, but 'an 11-dimensional box', perhaps? I know *I* can't get a mental image of that.

'A boat that sails faster than this one' could theoretically be inconceivable, but you'd have to have a *very* bad imagination.

just a little while longer, i've got a fair bit of other work i wanna get out of the road first, a four-five page minicomic i owe that's due shortly, a couple of commissions, and a graphical mockup of the new site design itself.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

'A boat that sails faster than this one' could theoretically be inconceivable, but you'd have to have a *very* bad imagination.

Nah. If you know enough about sailing, and you know that your boat is about as cutting edge as it gets, the inconceivable bit is -how- they manage to be faster, while using a boat that looks much the same.

Taking it in a slightly different direction, the NZ boat in the America's Cup about ten or fifteen years back had a split keel, in a sort of upside down Y or T shape - I'm unsure, because they kept the thing hidden, as it had a lot to do with how fast they could go, and since they managed to beat everyone else, it's a fair bet that it actually did something useful, in that specific class of boat.

IIRC, they were up against Dennis Conner, who bent the rules sufficiently to run a catamaran as the defender, and it's well known that catamarans are faster than single hulled boats - so all the -other- teams had an immediate +10 THACO to overcome, as it were.

Welcome to the Multi-Verse of online comics.

where in one universe a guy gets turned into an anthro-fox, then grows wings, then gets shot out of a space cannon and lands on a distant planet.
Then finds cloths from two incubus in a shop, cloths that look like women's cloths.

Lets not forget that if Lex showed up Aar-kitty would turn him into an angst cubi.
