Circuit - Wherein the Road is Blamed

WHAT is the old tongue?

WHY did they ban it?

WHO banned it first?

SHOULDN'T one ban be enough?

Samurai talk is far too resilient to be eliminated by just one ban. Ideally, you'll want to ban it four or five times. Even then, you'll probably only get rid of it for, say, a year at most. Then it'll creep back in, and you'll have to start banning it all over again. Really you should just accept that it's there and deal with it. What's so bad about samurai talk anyway? They have twenty words for "sword," and fifty words for "hooch."

Circuit - Wherein The Samurai Means It

WILL the Samurai also apologize for bringing hooch to town?

WILL the bosses accept the apology?

WHAT is a word battle?

IS it like Scrabble?

Yes. Or Boggle. Are there any other decent word games? Crossword puzzles? Maybe, except then you'd be battling yourself, and that's not really interesting to anyone besides you. Because when you battle yourself, you always know who the winner's going to be. Hint: it's you. As for the puzzle beating you, that should never happen... mainly because if anyone asks, you can always lie and say you won yet again. Who's going to tell on you? The puzzle? History is defined by winners. And, like I said, in that situation, the winner is always you. How's that for circular logic? Want to look at some words that aren't all scrambled up?

Circuit - Wherein The Samurai Says Some Things

WHY haven't the bosses heard of exploding ninjas?

WOULDN'T they make a really loud bang?

HOW could anyone not hear them?

ARE samurai the only group to be careless with hooch?

Sort of... they're the only ones brave (or foolish) enough to even mess around with hooch in the first place. And I mean "mess around with" in the sense that they use it for something besides fueling jets. Namely, ingesting it themselves. So in that respect, yes, it is very careless indeed. Generally, if you're drinking hooch, you're not really concerned about what happens to you, short-term or long-term. And if you had a care in the world when you started, you won't by the time you get through your first sip. Another, less self-destructive way to forget about your cares is to...

Circuit - Wherein Samurai Are Implicated

WILL the samurai get into trouble for bringing hooch into town?

WHICH gang do they belong to?

HOW dirty are they?

DO dirty samurai smell bad?

Yes, but the hooch smell tends to cover a lot of that up. Yet another thing hooch is good for.... don't feel like washing yourself? Ever? Just carry some hooch around with you! Better yet, spill some on yourself! Just don't too close to any open flames. Then you'll smell like burning, and nobody wants that.

Circuit - Wherein Disappointment Isn't the Point

WILL the two bosses discover the source of the hooch?

WHO is more disappointed?

WILL the new recruits be fired from the gang?

DO they actually have a system of measurement for being disappointed?

Yes. The thing is, they actually have two different systems for measuring disappointment, and it's very hard to convert one to the other. So what sounds disappointing in one gang is actually not that bad in the other gang. I'm not going to tell you which one's which, though. Mainly because I don't even know. As I said, it's really tough to convert the measurements! They should really get together and coordinate at least this one issue, if nothing else. Want to bring your own disappointment level down to a respectable number, but don't feel like exercising?...

Circuit - Wherein Harry Recalls a Bad Experience

WHICH dudes is Harry talking about?

HOW many lame people has Harry met?

WHY does his hat say something about punting?

WHY is he so unimpressed with cutting words?

Perhaps he finds them... dull! Yes, the jokes surrounding today's strip keep getting lamer and lamer. It's all part of today's theme of lameness! You didn't know today's theme was lameness? Good thing you checked here, because now you know. I just saved you a potentially embarrassing moment! You're welcome. Although if you insist on having an embarrassing moment anyway, that may help you with tomorrow's theme, which just happens to be embarrassment. Want to know more about lameness?

Circuit - Wherein Power Sharing is Not An Option

WHICH boss will emerge as the one true boss?

HOW sharp does a word have to be before it can cut?

ARE they serrated words?

WHAT about bludgeoning words?

Bludgeoning words are better against heavily armored opponents, but these samurai are wearing robes and sandals, so cutting words should work just fine. Technically, I guess bludgeoning words would still work very well against robes and sandals, but overkill just isn't that classy. Poison words might work, too, but that involves a lot of planning ahead and waiting. No fun. And serrated words are only good for cutting bread. Interested in reading words that aren't dull?
