A Warm Welcome

There are so many ways you can welcome someone home.

You could do it "sincerely:"

You could do it musically:

You could add an extremely specific qualifier:

You could also rant about the bakery's poor spelling skills...

(Isn't it ironic? Don'cha think?)

...times "sevan":

Or - my personal favorite - you could leave a note on the counter for the travelers to find around 11pm after spending 9+ hours driving through tornado warnings and stopped holiday traffic and harrowing accident-filled highways on the way home from Dragon*Con. That way, they can stagger through the door, drop their many bags, and gaze with wonder and appreciation at your thoughtful missive:

So sleep tight, y'hear?

Thanks to Loretta, Tess S., Val D., Gini M., Lisa P., Courtney S., and to John's mother, Mum, without whom this post would not have been possible, since I might have been sleeping tonight instead of writing it. Must. Stay. Awake. [twitch] WHAT WAS THAT? DID YOU HEAR THAT? DID SOMETHING JUST BUZZ?!

Mod Post - Imgur blocked in UK

As some members (and Mods) discovered yesterday, the image hosting website Imgur has blocked all access to anyone in the UK (and only the UK). This seems to be the result of a disagreement between Imgur and UK Laws regarding data safety.

Imgur have given their own, rather terse, statement on the matter

The header for Scans_Daily is hosted on Imgur, and it has long been a popular hosting site for users, which makes things difficult moving forward for UK users (and Mods), which we will need to consider the implications of, and let you know as required.

Yesterday I read an article about "swallowable perfume," a new form of perfume that comes in capsules. That you swallow. Ergo, "swallowable perfume."

Look, I couldn't make this stuff up, guys.

Anyway, it got me to thinking: how long before this is incorporated into food? You know, like cake? And what would an ingestible perfume cake look like, anyway? Would decorators try to reflect the scent in the cake's design?

These are all important questions, which I think deserve answers. You know, for science. And laughs. But mostly science.

So, as a public service, here are a few suggestions for some classic perfume scents:

Obsession

This would have to be a

revamped

formula, of course, with top notes of blood, wet dog, and a little patchouli.

Poison

Lucky for me, I've developed an immunity to iocane powder.

I'm sure you've heard of Chanel #5, but here's one for its lesser-known predecessor, Chanel #2:

Q: Why did Tigger have his head in the river?

A: He was looking for Pooh! Because Poo smells grrrrreat!

White Shoulders

I bet you never realized how weird that perfume name was until right now.

Contradiction

Something here doesn't add up.

Miracle

Even the balloons are defying the laws of gravity!

Lucky You

Say, here's a tip:

Ah. Never mind; false alarm.

Thanks to Sarah P., Crazy Z., Michelle S., Caren, Celeste G., Amy C., & Colleen W. Smell you later, guys!

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

A new gene therapy for Huntingdon's Disease was announced, and appears to be very promising, though it's early stages yet.

The Mangled Apricot Hellbeast (to borrow a favourite Scottish term of un-endearment), tried to convince the world that the dark forces within the UN were out to sabotage his speech; first by halting an escalator as he got on (despite the fact the most likely culprit was his own videographer accidentally hitting an Emergency Stop button at the top), and then the teleprompter (which it turns out was being managed by White House staff at the time).

The fact he used his speech, which rambled on for four times as long as scheduled, to basically berate the entire organisation/world for not being like his version of America, went down as well as expected.

The UK's very own Poundshop Trump wannabe, Farage, decided to ape his idol by claiming that "Migrants are stealing and eating our swans from the Royal Parks". This had about as much validity as you might imagine with ONE report from over 11 years ago not exactly proving a trend, nor involving a Royal Park, but since when did facts matter?

On the lighter (sort of) side of things, Miraculous Ladybug released another out of order episode, which managed to have: Adrien processing at least five stages of grief at the same time by yelling with a megaphone at a rampaging kaiju sized plasticine version of his deceased father (as you do), Marinette having yet ANOTHER breakdown over bad decisions she's made, and a hint at a entire new set of Miraculous we've not seen before. Busy, busy.

Disney+ will be showing the Disney: Twisted Wonderland anime at the end of October. An isekai anime based on the mobile game, it involves our protagonist being transported to a shonen-heavy all male bparding school with houses patterned after the seven big bads of Disney cartoons: Evil Queen, Maleficient, Ursula, Jafar, Hades, Scar and the Queen of Hearts.

Whilst I wish it well, I'm not sure it will exactly compensate for the reported 1.7 million subscription cancellations following their short-lived cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel

Oh, also, Star Wars: Visions Season 3!
