OOTS #328 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Bookman]

AHAHAHA that's GREAT. That is TOTALLY unexpected.......anyone else expecting Durkon to have high cholesterol? ;)

[Gralamin]

lol a heart test in reality :)

[WNxArrakis]

Test of the heart.. good. NEXT.

that was so cheesy, but its cheesy goodness

[Schpungus]

Aww, c'mon. How much longer do we have to wait until Haley pops from her secret?

[PN123]

Pulse 60?
85/60?
is roy like some god, or is he just atheletic?
I guess that's what being an adventurer does.

[Felinoid]

Heh, the funniest part for me was "Cryptkeeper knockoff". The ending was spoiled because of the prediction in the last comic thread.

That's American measures, and very healthy for a human. I hear the measurement system is quite different in other countries.

[Corvus]

Ah, a trip down the absurd...speaking of, I should get my blood pressure et al checked out one of these days.

[Indurain]

Classic. Enjoyable as always.

(Wow, how much more cliche can I get?)

[Flak_Razorwill]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Literally.

[Estella]

hahha! this is why you must stay healthy :)

[Wukei]

Wait...if Roy's been through this before wouldn't he have expected this?

[fwiffo]

As per #325, they (Roy and Durkon) don't seem to recall what the tests were. And, besides, then it wouldn't have been quite so funny.

[Bookman]

Wait...if Roy's been through this before wouldn't he have expected this?

Nooooooo remember? He forgot what he did the last time he passed through.

AGHhhh SIMU!

[Gralamin]

Wait...if Roy's been through this before wouldn't he have expected this?

he couldn't remeber, remeber?

simued x3

[Wukei]

Ah, right...thanks for the reminder...I was wondering why...I need to reread things, I've been a bit out of it lately.

[Djagir]

I guess all the exercise you get from adventuring really is good for the heart...

[rchiang]

Heh. I'm more surprised at how low Roy's blood pressure is considering how stressed he usually seems leading the group.

-Ray

[Kinneus]

Heh, I totally did not see that one coming. Definitely got a laugh of me.
That was pure dragon steak with awesomesauce.

[Blaznak]

Wow that was a LOOOOOOONG way to go for THAT PSA... :)

(No, not Public Service Announcement - Punning Story Advancement!)

[Arin]

Agreed, that was completely unexpected. Although it makes the magic mount disclaimer all the more funny - they were for serious that people with heart troubles shouldn't visit the oracle!

[Ted_Stryker]

Eh, it was funny, but not ha-ha funny.

Bring on the Oracle.

[LordOfNarf]

Really funny, Good Job Giant.

Roy Must have a ridiculously good heart that is a really good heartrate. Also, resting pulse of 60 is some kind of good.

Who wants to bet belkar dosen't pass because of his drinking?

[Moebius]

"Allow me to consult the Peanut Gallery." *snerk* Classic Roy.

Hmmm. We know quite well why Haley looked freaked in panel 7. But V's looking apprehensive as well. Wonder why?

edit: Nevermind. New Years' Belkar-induced trauma, of course.

[Schattendrache]

Heh heh heh. The inanity of it all! ;D

[silvadel]

Rest pulse of 60 isnt that super -- Some people are in the 30s or 40s. I am pretty sedentary and if I dont drink any caff my rest pulse is quite close to 60...

85/60 bp however is a matter of concern.

Any top bp under 100 is low blood pressure and under 90 is ... Well 85/60 would mean he would be similar to those checking him ;)

V's freaked becausr it would have to reveal its gender

[fwiffo]

Hmmm... Actually Roys pressure is a bit on the low side. While most people have heard of problems associated with high blood pressure, low pressure is also a danger. Both systolic and diastolic have normal range, high/low range, and abnormally high/low range. Roy just barely crossed into low. Probably not good, especially for a big guy.

Still... absolutely hilarious strip. Welcome back, Giant.

[The_Bandersnatch]

Now THERE'S a twist I didn't see coming...

God that was funny... ;D

Maybe he's just really relaxed.

At the height of my fitness, which wasn't really super-fit, I had a BP of ~ 110/65 and a rest pulse in the mid-60s. I might have characterized myself as a D&D 3.5 CON 14 back then, though the 12-13 range probably would have been closer.
