Nah, she's busy snuggling Keiichi.

I love Legos. The old ones, that is. You know, when they did not have
many
specialized pieces and you had to improvise. Shame on them.
Those are still around... but you have to LOOK for them.
It's not THAT hard... One can get really incredible results out of a
fifty/fifty mix.

She would. All that she needed was to look at Ranma's clothing. Or lack
thereof.
Shampoo : Okay. THAT something Shampoo NOT wear. Even on bet.
Mousse : Aw, YOU'RE no fun.
(Splashing and quacking ensue.)
Well, she might not wear it in The Bet, but I think there's something
equivalent in Girl Days...

That's something that I never really considered. It's a good point in
both
Ranma's and Nabiki's caracterisation.
Part of the Paragon Effect is Ranma's beginning to develop a spine-- and a
fair amount of enlightened self-interest.
Heh. B5 on what makes the universe go round...
One of Minako's all time most endearing traits is that she can't get a
classical quote or homily correct to save her life. Such undying phrases
as
"It's no use crying over spilled cod's-roe" or "The grass is always greener
on the rolling stone" leap to mind.
For my part, I recognize 'bird in the hand', but what's the other half?
> "Hmmmph. Peasant."
AHAHAHAHAHAH. He's going THAT far to be with his 'osage no onna' ?
This is rich! (and silly)
Tatewake Kuno, Astrophysicist.
Maybe. After all, we don't know what his math grades look like.

Oh, it's not THAT bad... No, you're right. Groan.
Agreed. Groan.

>It makes no sense..."
Ranma never made any sense...
No, he made PERFECT sense. For a super-powerful sex-changing socially
retarded martial artist, that is.
Yes, he makes a great deal of sense. After all, Ms. Takahashi is now quite
rich and famous, yes?
Ranma probably didn't even hear of Shirow-san. Things like Appleseed and
Ghost in the Shell and the like are very philosofical. Although Dominion
Tank Police is a rush.
He's going to get REALLY annoyed at that comparision-- "Who IS this guy?"
"Have a copy of Intron Depot." "I wear more than that. Well, a little
more
than that..."
There's the question of how he'd react to Boneparte...

> To Be Continued.
Goodie!
I really hope so. Good humour is always welcome. And this (along with
Girl Days) has it in spades. Keep it up.
I'll do my best!
Hey... Is there an archive site for this? I've been wondering for a couple
of days...
Be well.
