   the friendzone does exist Trae. You said so in your nerd dating panel. Plus I can prove it exists.

     Actually, I used to quite specifically say the friendzone ISN’T real in that panel. Clearly you weren’t listening.

     Because if you’re hanging out with someone just because you want to sleep with them, you aren’t really their friend. I could go on about this for paragraphs about emotional manipulation and passive aggressive behavior, but all of that is moot in this case.

     Because Ruth hates Harry, making his use of the term not really work on any level in the first place.

   Thank you, Trae, for your comments there. I find the entire concept of the “friendzone” to be offensive. I exist as a person, not a sexbot. Heck, I’m asexual to start with!

     …then you have more in common with Ruth than you know.

   I think the FriendZone exists, but is far far less common than popular media thinks. For the reasons already mentioned.

   Regardless, the term does -not- apply here… he seemed like a potentially smart guy just a little while ago.

     The friendzone doesn’t exist the way most people who say that term mean.

     As for Harry, this is the first time we’ve seen him without Jerry keeping him in check.

     (Here’s another one that’s pretty close, although it uses the Enterprise era Terran Empire logo instead of the TOS era Terran empire logo: http://www.cafepress.com/mf/88121453/star-trek-mirror-universe-emblem-black_tshirt

       Thanks, Trae!

       (After he went through the trouble of finding those links, I don’t have the heart to tell him I meant the other shirt? What’s the term? Overshirt? Flaming Hawaiian shirt? Alohaaaah Eruption! shirt?)

         Wasn’t so much “trouble” as “five seconds on google” 😛

         Hmmm… the overshirt.

         Y’know, I just went to google because I assumed it would be easy to find a similar orangish-red bowling shirt with flames on it… but wow. I haven’t found anything similar so far.
