I absolutely love these comics. However, when you use lame like this it’s actually painful for me. It’s a dysphemism and it harms disabled people. I can’t see you using “That was kind of gay” to mean “That was kind of stupid/ridiculous/nonsensical” and replacing gay with lame isn’t any better than saying “That was kind of retarded.” http://www.tolerance.org/blog/let-s-disable-word-lame
I truly, honestly didn’t know “lame” had any connection to people with disabilities — I’m not a native English speaker. I’m sorry this offends you, and I’ll change it. Thanks for letting me know.
“I’m here to thave you, Printheth Thelda!”
Thanks for clarifying that it was the Sylvester from Looney Toons, I was thinking Sylvester Stallone…
