Grrl Power #1211 – The opposite of “Wallet-sized I.D.”

To be clear, summoning her wasn't the misunderstanding, Parfait getting her stink all over Sydney was the misunderstanding.

This cohort of demons (who might actually receive names in the comic at some point) definitely did not do their homework here. They probably only know that Parfait is not near her current master because of some tracking spell, and probably didn't know about Thothogoth getting banned from America. (Well, banned in the absence of legitimate travel documents and possibly a diplomatic invitation - he's just not allowed to pop over unannounced.) Tom definitely wouldn't advertise that he got his butt kicked by some gold plated bint one sixth his age. Parfait on the other hand... well, she might not be as mindful of not blabbing things that could damage her master's reputation. I mean it'd be pretty good water cooler gossip.

Demons generally know about some Earth countries because they have a long history of coming here (and other pre-galactic-community worlds) and fucking around with the locals. It helps to know that you want to go to Assyria and not to, as the demonic travel agent is pushing for, Norway. (Presumably the travel agent is getting kickbacks from Baba Yaga, Mata Yaga and Tito Yaga - you know, the Yagas - to send some hunky demons up north for some ice cold witch sex. Yeah, the Yagas are using demonic travel agencies as dating services in this scenario.)

I wrote the bit about the Quarterback sneak, then decided to look up what a QB Sneak actually was because I know dick about sports. If I had to guess, I would have said it was that move they do when the QB pretends to hand off the ball to some guy running past him, but instead he keeps the ball and goes in the other direction. Actually, the most prominent example I can think of using the phrase Quarterback Sneak" is from when Ace Ventura tried to un-kidnap Dan Marino. That's how much I know about sports.

Turns out the QB Sneak is very misleadingly named. It's when the QB gets the ball then just goes ham straight at the defensive line? I guess? Apparently it's used when the offensive team just needs a few yards to get a TD or do something with downs? The only way I can fathom it being called a Sneak is if all the play names in American FB are intentionally misleading to throw off the other team on the off chance of confusing professional career football players? Like when they kick the ball the play is called the We're definitely not kicking the ball" play or when they going to pass the ball it's called the Let's walk slowly backwards then get tackled" play. Which honestly is how about a quarter of pass attempts seem to go from the 3-4 hours total of all football I've ever watched. Given that footballers are about as likely to wind up with concussions as boxers, maybe misleading play names might actually work on them. Of course, I'm basing this entire theory on the one single football play that I've actually looked up, so I'm definitely talking out of my ass here.

The Vixen War Bride book 6 is out, and it's a good'un. It's also the final installment of the series, which is unfortunate because I really enjoyed them. It's probably tied with Upon a Savage Shore (NSFW Literoptica link) for my favorite xenoanthropology book, by which I mean the POV changes to the alien's perspective quite a bit and they're all Humans are weird... but also I have to eventually admit kind of sexy." Honestly, I could read a book that was strictly from the alien's POV. There's probably plenty like that, written closer to the dawn of sci-fi novels and the aliens in them are properly alien like asexually reproducing ambulatory celery, not like Star Trek aliens, which are just humans with some sociological quirk and some prosthetic stuff on their forehead. Anyway, the series is great, buy it.
