Actually, Whiskey’s schooling was finished up on Scotch’s homeworld. He probably went to an earth Kindergarten, though – and maybe a couple of years of grade school before being kidnapped.
Of course, he might not remember that considering all the time-looping involved. I know I have a hard time keeping it straight. One of these days I really should do a wiki…
Whiskey calling the chalkboard scribbles “Maths!” is a callback to the “Look Around You” series from the BBC. Great stuff…
I bet the person who owns this lab is the kind of person who thinks that you can upgrade sentries, dispensers, and teleporters by simply whacking them over and over with a wrench, heh
You can’t? *Shrug*
Sentry goin’ up!
A spah’s sappin’ mah comment!
Man, love that game. 😉
I wonder how he’d react to those gargantuan “Friends”.
Those scribbles are definitely random, the letters down the bottom should at least be some sort of equation, TLG were clearly more concerned about looks than about making a serious effort to teach kids something useful! 😀
Highly speculative, too, but one might read the equations as C+D = AB, which is kind of logical, in a weird algebraic sort of way. But most people wouldn’t even get that far. 😉
AD, not AB. Well, I did nave trouble with wrestling algebraic equations! 😀
Omigod, math is like, hard. (Especially when you have to work complex symbology like flowers and hearts into the equations.)
Wonder what the Friendians will be like when Whiskey bumps into them. I’m thinking “Clueless”/Valley Girl types, whose word balloons are filled with lowercase texting speak, misspellings and generous helpings of OMG. Of course, there must be a dissident or two amidst the pastel bricks; perhaps even the same budding “scientist” who runs that workshop.
As for Whiskey, they’ll probably regard him as an ugly, deformed dwarf. But unless I’m mistaken, he’ll also be the only man in the Friendiverse!
Actually, there’s one male Friendfig; Peter.
As I understand it, the Friends ‘Verse has ONE native male. It’s Olivia’s dad.
Now THAT’S kind of scary.
Well, judging by the pink walls, I think Whiskey got his wish for a place with women.
They’re probably in a world of amazons.
Amazon warriors with pink walls.
So this is my theory about Friends:
In the lego world, husbands and boyfriends started getting fed up with their girlfriends and wives when they got into arguements. As a result, the lego government began a segregation process which transformed Minifigures into Dollfigures and then banish them to the Friends town. As part of the transformation, the girls become skittish and stereotypical, and only their hair can be put on a Minifigure.
So basically, the girls were hated, went to their own universe, and evolved into dolls.
pretty much. . .or “devolved”, rather. After all, becoming a Doll figure means you’re on the other end of the “sorry but one size fits all” regime.
Good point…I should have realized that these couldn’t possibly be the evolved version of lego minifigures…
Or maybe the Friendites were descended from the FIRST Lego figures: these folks, circa 1974. What happened? Presumably a Barbie-esque meme caught on with them in the late-70’s, and from that point onward they diverged from the “Brick House” timeline. All manner of radical medical procedures, DNA tinkering and venturing into Things Which Figs Were Not Meant To Know were acceptable, in manic pursuit of this pink-hued aesthetic ideal. Meanwhile, the construction materials around them remained pretty much the same.
So they’re basically relatives of minifigs shaped by plastic surgery, governed by an unhealthy obsession with beauty/fashion/celebrity, and living in an alternate universe.
Californians, in other words. =D
@Digihuman, you might be onto something there. Could it be an evolution of Whiskey’s rogue scalped hair from a couple of years back?
yeah, what DID dig do with it? Last time we saw it she was taking it.
