Funny that Millie speaks of her arch-nemesis in her song, and that she spent an hour talking to her about lip gloss, amazed that she would even give that much time to her.

Nice to see that Ozy has his black vest back, the zen shirt was bordering on a permanent case, but the vest seems more trademark-oriented.

Caster oil, however... Nasty stuff, had to drink it from time to time in my youth.

Castor-oil? Yeesh, that stuff can cause serious dehydration and serious and permanant damage to the joints and connective tissues. Nasty stuff.

"In Fascist Italy under the regime of Benito Mussolini, castor oil was one of the tools of the blackshirts. Political dissidents were force-fed large quantities of castor oil by Fascist paramilitary groups. This technique was said to have been originated by Gabriele D'Annunzio. Victims of this treatment would experience severe diarrhea and dehydration, often resulting in death.

Sometimes when the blackshirts wished to make sure that the victim would die rather than simply be badly disabled, they would mix gasoline with the castor oil.

It is said that Mussolini's power was backed by "the bludgeon and castor oil." In lesser quantities, castor oil was also used as an instrument of intimidation, for example to discourage civilians or soldiers who would call in sick either in the factory or in the military. Since its healing properties were widely exaggerated, abuse could be easily masked under pretense of a doctor's prescription. It took decades after Mussolini's death before the myth of castor oil as a panacea for a wide range of diseases and medical conditions was totally demystified, as it was also widely administered to pregnant women, elderly or mentally-ill patients in hospitals in the false belief that it had no negative side effects."

Millie's crazy if she put that poison into her body intentionally. :roll:

Here is fine, there is good, but DC is my home (IRC is my vacation home that I visit more often than a normal person visits a vacation home.)

Well, castor oil is more commonly used as an over-the-counter laxative. I had to have it once... it doesn't taste too bad, however, it feels like you're swallowing a slug: it... SLIDES... :cry:
Anami and Anami are sitting around Anami says "GRR I AM ANGSTY LET'S EXPRESS ANGST" and so Anami says "ONE OF THE MODS ON DC IS A DICK I POSTED A PICTURE THAT WASN'T REALLY THAT INAPPROPRIATE AND THREE MODS SAW IT AND DID NOTHING THEN A FOURTH ONE SAW IT AND DELETED IT" and Anami says "OMG I HATE MODS >:("

In-ear sunburn makes me CRINGE. :shock:
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Makes the idea of shaved Ozy in summer all the more cringe-worthy.

Millie is eeeeevil.

Heh, I also sing whenever there is a strip like this, but only if there aren't any people around. :oops:
