Badgers? We Don't Need No Stinking Badgers!
My first wank. Please grease up with the lube of your choice and give it to me hard.

I never thought I'd actually get a chance to post a wank, since I just don't spend that much time hanging around wank hot-spots. Maybe there's a jurimprudence law covering the fact your chances of coming across, or being involved in, wank increase in direct proportion to the amount of time you spend online (hitting a probability of 1.00 after about four hours). Anyhoo, I was having a look at the latest Penny Arcade comic on LJ and thought I'd see what people were saying. When will I learn?

There are a couple of points where I thought the wank threatened to go off, including the second response "Mega-Con was more like gay-con", and I still have high hopes for the pocky wars starting towards the end of the thread. I'm sure someone can work up a good head of "how dare you hate my snack!"

But the actual wank comes from pluckzz who shows up to let everyone know that Penny Arcade isn't funny! Just a harmless little troll really, but there are some good responses, particularly from deglan, who suggests that:

"You actually read something because it's NOT funny? That's... um... how can I put this gently... like having sex with badgers because it makes you feel dirty and sad."

sagralisse convinced me that the combination of trolls, pocky and badger-sex made this worthy of posting, so blame her if you think it's ~~pastede on YAY~~ lame.

	Somehow, when I saw the comic I just knew it was going to get wanky over there. It seems I was correct. (Reply to this)

	I swear, there's a commercial on Norwegian TV with that EXACT plot. (No, really, there is - it involves a drag-queen, a fat american, and jars of peanut butter). (Reply to this)(Parent)

	For some reason I find myself agreeing with the trolls. PA's just never struck me as particularly funny. I'll stick to my Mac Hall and Megatokyo, kthx. ... badgers. -snerk- [/wank] (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I love Megatokyo. Partially because I'm easily within six degrees of it, and so have heard some of the Entertaining Behind the Scenes Gossip, but largely because Largo really makes me laugh. Great Teacher Largo--my educational model. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Pocky: My favourite kinds are the "winter taste" (in kanji) dark chocolate

Because it's the kanji that makes the flavor bettah, yo. And that doesn't unintentionally do a thing to make the comic funnier, does it?

This comment rocks, especially in context:

	The whole pocky thing always confuses me, because over here, we have something that sounds like it's the same, except there's nothing japanese about it at all, and you can just buy it in almost any supermarket. Huh. (Reply to this)(Parent)
