    “I’m in Stasia’s pants right now.”
    I love Parker too.

  2. wedge Says:

    I’m suprized someone didn’t beat her to that wikipedia entry. Then again, she probably just deleted someone elses.

    how do you reply to a topic about being in Stasia’s pants?
    scratch that, don’t answer that.

  3. Orange Lettuce Says:

    AMAZING.
    And that is all.

  4. Elisajah Says:

    Parker’s such a cutie.

  5. Zahooee Says:

    Well, if that little post isn’t going to cause a bit of concern and confusion, I don’t know what will.

    Granted…given Parker’s level of obsession I wonder how many might actually take it literally…

    “Gee…where’d you get them?”

  6. Abaddon the Despoiler Says:

    Too bad she’s a les.

  7. Keito Says:

    I love the three tabs Parker has open on the computer… Stasia forums, Stasia’s website, and Wiki.. ahhh, Parker.

    Sept. 9th, 2009. Does that date have significance, I wonder? (Other than that it’s 09/09/09…)

  8. Tao Says:

    You have to realise that the rest of the world has -no idea- that his name is Guy Cooper, nor do they know that the sign was made by Parker.

    First leak of information via wikipedia.

    Go-Go Parker!

  9. Norgs Says:

    I feel like a total geek right now…I’m trying to figure out which web browser she’s using based off the tabs, and what forum system the Stasia forums use based off their basic look…

    I think that it’ll be half-and-half on the people that think her comment is literal vs. the ones that think she’s having sex with Stasia. After all, if Stasia’s crazy enough to get married on a whim, who says she’s not crazy enough to randomly switch teams? Besides, I’m gonna guess that Parker’s love for Stasia is well-known on that site.

  10. lightdefender Says:

    The browser looks like Opera, I think, and the forums PHPboard, maybe? I don’t think it’s Invision.

    Norgs: “I feel like a total geek right now…I’m trying to figure out which web browser she’s using based off the tabs, and what forum system the Stasia forums use based off their basic look…”

    It’s definitely a phpBB forum. The browser appears to be a Mozilla variant but I can’t tell which one.

  12. Lucretiel Says:

    Curious that she joined the Forum on May 22 2007 and accumulated 20,000 posts since then…

  13. Eregnon Says:

    So she joined two days ago?

  14. Bobby Crosby Says:

    About Stasia’s 20,000 posts –

    http://www.marrymemovie.com/main/2007/04/06/page-16-i-like-pants/#comment-790

    Read those comments.

    The browser was Firefox, the one I’m using, and it was from these forums –

    http://www.blatantcomics.com/plusev/index.php

    “So she joined two days ago?”

    Yes, she did, which means she joined two years and four months ago in the current time of the story.

  15. Alecks Says:

    My face twitched when i saw the words “and was stunningly beautiful” (I’m a Wikipedian- use only NPOV statements on WP!)

    And I’m surprised that no one else edited the article about Stasia already (yes, people are hawks like that).

    And I can only imagine what unintended uncontrollable mess will result from Parker’s curt forum post that doesn’t explain exactly what happened to her fellow posters.

  16. Alecks Says:

    Anyways, to Bobby: this is a great strip, and the detail about the School’s Out Tour really helps to explain Stasia’s costume during the finale. Gotta love consistency. And the WP reference is great, I don’t think I’ve seen a movie yet that does something like that. And nice planning ahead with the 2009 date, although, technically, they could easilly change the year as needs demand.

    To Eisu: AWWWWWWW PARKER IS SOOO KYUUUTE!!!!! :)

  17. Alecks Says:

    about my first comment: I know that it was parker who was not following Wikipedia guidelines, that was not any sort of attack on you!

  18. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “And I’m surprised that no one else edited the article about Stasia already (yes, people are hawks like that).”

    As others already said, I’m sure people did edit it already, but Parker was adding new info, and yes, she doesn’t follow their guidelines correctly, since she’s insane. I’ve never done anything on Wikipedia, by the way.

    “and the detail about the School’s Out Tour really helps to explain Stasia’s costume during the finale.”

    Yeah, and the poster on Page 3 helped, and they said it was the final concert of the tour on Page 2.

    “And nice planning ahead with the 2009 date, although, technically, they could easilly change the year as needs demand.”

    The year is pretty much irrelevant. Just chose basically the earliest possible date for when a big budget MM could be released, or around that time at least, but it could have easily been 2007 and wouldn’t matter.

  19. totz Says:

    This is one of my favorite pages so far.

  20. totz Says:

    I LOVE PARKER!!!

  21. Logie Says:

    Rofl! That’s brilliant. =D Keep up the good work. (*luffs Parker*)

  22. ThatOneChick Says:

    “And now for the strangest Wikipedia edit ever…”
    Well, at least she knows it. XD

    I can see a response to Parker’s ‘I’m in Stasia’s pants right now’ comment…
    ‘NaStaSiaLOvE: ‘Dahlly, didn’t I tell you to get something for those delusions of yours?
    P.S. Damnit, bish, mail them to me. NOW.’


    And that’s my cue to stop drinking Kool-Aid before going online.

  23. Namsab Says:

    STANLEY XD

    I wonder if Parker knows what she could have done with that wiki-entry.. until now, everyone was just “Stasia married -some- guy!” now they can be “she married ‘Guy Cooper’, let’s find out bad information about him and show it everywheeeere”…

  24. El Says:

    Parker is so cool. ^^ All that drama going on around her and she heads for the nearest computer, and, well… ;)

    I never really think of her as insane though, cute, obsessive, maybe *slightly* unhinged…and ultimately just fun…and this was a hilarious page. :D

    Also, I think the idea of using a forum post to subtly show the date is a great idea (and a nice variation on other approaches,) would you mind if I used it at some point, Bobby? :)

  25. serious Says:

    sometimes she is so damn freaky, esp. as she also seems to know the full background crew (what even stasia herself doesn’t as it seems) but I like her somehow ^^

  26. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “would you mind if I used it at some point, Bobby?”

    No problem, and I agree with you about Parker, except I like to throw around the word “insane” more, even though she’s not actually out of her mind.

  27. Valerie Says:

    Parker was so adorable on every part of this page!! ♥

    Awww, I feel so bad for her though. She has to write on Wikipedia that her best friend stole (on accident) the love of her life (or some creepy obsession close to love… whatever). Poor Parkerrrrr. ;_;

    I ♥ That cracy chick so much!

  28. Valerie Says:

    Make that “crazy” chick. My typing’s off. XD

  29. Ted Says:

    For the curious, the web browser is Mozilla Firefox 1.5 for Windows, and the forum software is PhpBB.

    (The lone admin strikes again!)

  30. Jack Violet Says:

    So, the slightly sad thing? Everyone’s all “Oh, Parker, she so crazy.” But I am quite obsessed with a pop sensation of my own right now, and am spending tons of time on the forums and people there are not that different from Parker. Like, the pop star just shot a new music video two days ago, and hours after the shoot ended there were photos from the shoot, youtube videos of the shoot, and detailed accounts of such things as what was served for lunch, what the popstar ate, what the popstar left hafway uneaten, and who took those items home.

  31. Lydia Says:

    That’s very cute, actually.

    Not as obsessive as I originally thought she was.

  32. dragonmage Says:

    LOL *hugs Parker* I wonder what kind of replies she got on that forum post :D

  33. Comicmaniac Says:

    “I know who Stanley is”
    Of course she does, how could she not :D
    Is there anyone in the crew she doesn’t know (except the security from earlier)?

  34. El Says:

    “I agree with you about Parker, except I like to throw around the word “insane” more, even though she’s not actually out of her mind.”

    Hehe, yah, she’s an only-a lil-bit-crazy-sweetie. :D Ooh, and I’m advertising again. Yup that’s my ad at the top of the page peoples. ;) Click click while you’re waiting for the next update. :) ;)

    N Bobby, come on AIM again sometime huh? ^^ :)

  35. junko Says:

    Oh, Parker.

  36. wesoly_alien Says:

    She’s on FIRE!

  37. Conscious Says:

    “And I’m surprised that no one else edited the article about Stasia already (yes, people are hawks like that).”

    I would rather use the term ‘vultures’ here ;)
    I always kinda wondered what gets people to post on wikipedia in the first place. If it was just a few devotes directly related to the wikipedia project it would make sense. But the way it is it appears more like a mass phenomenon and that would require that editors get something out of it.
    Do they do that just for their ego and _knowing_ that that article is made by them? I mean after all there’s no signature or anything below blocks. I as a reader would never know who wrote it and the change history of wikipedia is only so long.
    Apart from that wikipedia truly is the one source for information of that kind.

  38. Conscious Says:

    Also, i love this page :D

  39. Conscious Says:

    “Ooh, and I’m advertising again. Yup that’s my ad at the top of the page peoples. Click click while you’re waiting for the next update. ”

    Oh, right. Trying to load a page of your comic. Seems a bit laggy. Also you *might* wanna remake the front page in terms of overview-arangement ;)
    If you don’t know your way around it is really odd to navigate.

  40. Conscious Says:

    Erm, is your server down? I kinda don’t get any response anymore … :S

  41. Bish Says:

    “P.S. Damnit, bish, mail them to me. NOW.’” ThatOneChick

    Have I been referenced, or is it just an odd coincidence?

    Also, cracking page, Bobby, Eisu. Things keep getting better and better.
    Loved the “I know who Stanley is” line.

  42. randomfan Says:

    This is a very entertaining and well-drawn strip!
    One question: So Parker posts on 09/09/09 at 09:02pm… seems a little early for the end of a big concert. Did Stasia marry Guy just before intermission? It would certainly complicate the second half of the show, and put that much extra pressure on the lawyers, etc.!

  43. ThatOneChick Says:

    BWAHAHAHA.
    Er. Wow, that was strange.

    A coincidence, I’m thinking.
    Bish is what I use when I don’t want the little ‘uns [or my parents] to hear me swearing.
    XDDD

  44. Valerie Says:

    *Gasp* I just realized that I forgot to pick a favorite panel!

    Hmm… Either the third one (where Parker’s sitting at the computer) or the fourth one (the forum post)… Neh, I’ll just have two favorites. XD

  45. Pinky's Brain Says:

    All the previous edits were probably getting reverted because of WP:NOT by some lone ranger deletionist :p

  46. Pieter Says:

    Re: Comicmaniac: security detail is usually from the venue, and not the act itself, so it even makes good sense that she wouldn’t know them. they’re not part of stasia’s crew, they’re part of the venue. (at least, that’s how my experience as a performer and a fan has shown, this is, of course, bobby’s comic)

    also: I started the wikipedia entry on Powerman 5000! and that has been the only time i’ve ever added information on wikipedia.
    oh wait, no, someome had an album listed as ‘white supremacy’ when it was s’posed to be ’supremacy’ (it’s a small mistake, ya know?) anyway, i ran out of useful points a long time ago.
    Still a huge fan of the comic. can’t wait for the next update.

  47. Megs Says:

    So I’m wondering if I’ve been putting the wrong tone to Bobby’s replies on here…. I always read them as defensive, but seeing nothing offensive on this section, he might just be speaking normal o.0; Wow.. paradigm shift.

    Eisu :) Today’s fave panel goes to you :D Forshortening was done very well!! Originally I was going to phrase that ‘Forshortening like whoa’ but I wasn’t sure if you’d “get” it ;)

  48. Proxess Says:

    The browser is firefox
    The board is phpBB
    The operating-system seems to be Linux Ubuntu by the colours on the tabs.

  49. Mravac Kid Says:

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. :)

    Stasia lives on the west coast and Parker has her Stasia Forums account set to Pacific time because of that, so it’s actually 11:02 PM in Tulsa. On Page 25 we saw Stasia’s dad’s watch, which showed 12:01 (AM), and his watch is on Eastern time, since he lives in New York. Stasia ran out on stage to start the concert at 8:30, got married at 10:25, skipping only one scheduled song.

  51. Megs Says:

    HAhaHA!! Guys, check this out– It’s STANLY!!!
    http://nopinkponies.com/images/fanart-byjeff2.gif

    haha.. Eisu.. I ♥ U

  52. Kilroy Says:

    She just married a guy named Cooper on the School’s Out tour.

    Gotta love it.

  53. Andy-o Says:

    School’s out for summer!
    School’s out forever!

    Great page.

  54. Ferreter Says:

    I think Parker’s wiki post reflects her love of Stasta & desire to record Stastia’s life perfectly And link herself to Stasia on wiki & acknowledge it was her sign–that it was her sign is probably killing her…

    Heh. I wonder what Guy’s students and coworkers will say/react when they find out he married Stasia…or the newshounds anyway…

    In other news, Guy’s name can not only refers to something you call a man, but also wood or wide (http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=guy)…parker’s means “keeper of the park” in Old French…also I looked up Stasia on the same site (not that I think it is her real name) and the two nost simuliar names (Stasya & Stacia) both refer to anastasia, refering to anastasius which means “resurrection”…not that I think the names have a hidden meaning–just interesting…

  55. Ferreter Says:

    I also find it funny that Parker thinks her wiki post/edit would be more bizarre than her forum post…at least to the people reading them…

  56. Eisu Says:

    Actually, she did mention it’s the most strangest wikipedia edit, not the most bizarre thing she ever wrote online.

  57. CoyoteKing Says:

    I think she meant strange as in surreal, because her best friend just got married to the women she’s obsessed with because of the sign she made, at the concert to which she went without having gone to the bathroom for awhile.

  58. Lolli Says:

    “I’m in Stasia’s pants right now.”

    Ahaha!! I totally didn’t notice that until just now…

  59. Valerie Says:

    Really, Lolli? o0 I found that to be the coolest thing about this page. XD

    And I KNEW she would word it like that at some point!! Crazy Parker. I ♥ that silly girl. XD

  60. Bobby Crosby Says:

    “I looked up Stasia on the same site (not that I think it is her real name)”

    Her name is Anastasia Tyler.

  61. Magic Gboy Says:

    Stacia will marry Parker instead… or maybe not, or maybe i dont have a clue

  62. Valerie Says:

    “Stacia will marry Parker instead… or maybe not, or maybe i dont have a clue”

    In Parker’s wildest fantasies, maybe… Poor Parker. ;_; But hey, at least she got into Stasia’s pants. That’s kinda close. XD

  63. Comicmaniac Says:

    Re: Pieter
    Ah yes that makes sense, hadn’t thought of it like that before.
    Thanks.

  64. Dylan Says:

    I want to be in Stasia’s pants…

  65. Garrett Says:

    Woo. Firefox, tabs for your convenience.

  66. invader hog Says:

    Emo face, poor Parker has got to tell the world that her favorite singer is now married to her best friend, via wikipedia. My brother pretty much wiki’s everything so I wouldn’t be suprised to find out that there is something there in two years that Stasia is married to Guy.

  67. neko-sama Says:

    did anyone notice that since it’s 9-9-09, that would be on a wednesday, and i knowww this is a lot earlier on in thecomic, but forgetting to go to the bathroom for 6 days…wow…teehee, anyway awesome comic, in all aspects ^^

  68. yuftrydfhyfdh Says:

    Damn her. ‘Stunningly beautiful’ isn’t very netural. Which wikipedia is supposed to be… Hmmm, how many times do you think she got warned or something?

  69. Irid Says:

    Did anyone else notice the date that Parker joined that forum? How did she get 20,000 posts in two days?

  70. Irid Says:

    Oh, wait, ignore I said that. I just realised they’re two years ahead of us :p

  71. Michelle Says:

    Mm. September 9th, 2009 is a Wednesday.

  72. Norman Says:

    Which means she hadn’t used the toilet for about six days !?!?!

    Her bladder control is almost as scary as her lack of control in other areas…

  73. Arcer Says:

    Interesting that a “school’s out” tour should take place in September.
