xkcd Forums Bingo: Week 4

#911 - Magic School Bus
This comic was late, but that didn't stop the forumites. The first fourteen replies were made before the comic even went up. Some people complained that this comic ruined a childhood memory. But our best C1 came from this post.

We even had C2 from when some people said the rocket in panel 3 reminded them of the rocket from Tintin's Destination Moon / Explorers on the Moon. I am now counting non-xkcd comics for the C2 square, just because.

We were so close this time. The only thing missing was the usually frequent B2 square.

#912 - Manual Override
A somewhat less enthusiastic effort that last time. We had a full-on explanation for A1 though. And E4 made its second consecutive appearance, with this guy complaining about people complaining about Fernie (aka Sirmustapha) complaining about the comic.

#913 - Core
E4 made its third appearance. Oh my, the trolls are popular this week. The joke was explained, Randall was in someone's head. Does this count as a quote pyramid. All sources point to: yes.

I'm still waiting for Leahcim to create a post that simultaneously marks off every square on the board. We can only wonder why he is keeping us waiting. Maybe one day he will tell us why.

  1. I'm waiting for a politics-related comic.

  2. Just a heads up, Leachcim, since I've been on the xkcd forum. Your first post needs to be approved by a moderator before it is made visible. If you don't already have an account, I suggest making your first post elsewhere. Bear in mind you will need to break a rule to get the E2 square.

  3. I have a few posts- like 20 or so.

    Will the recent style of quotation count as a quote stack, or do I have to pull something out of an older thread?

  4. It doesn't matter what's in the quotes. That said, I probably shouldn't have allowed the recent E1, it makes it too easy. You don't have to dredge something up from an older thread, but I would prefer it if you did.
