It sounded creepy the first time around.</em> I thought there were disemvowelling procedures for that sort of thing? Oh well. To clarify to all: I doubt Cory and Randall actually have anything physical going on, but it's been interesting watching their bromance unfold over the last couple of years. @Antinous #9:

The "copyright" page alone is worth the price! First, it is a Creative Commons page (not a copyright page). Wonderful! Second, the little numbers at the bottom that tell which printing is current is a Fibonacci sequence!! I'm sure there are many other fun things to find here, besides the best web comic on the internets. :) I just received the book. The “copyright” page alone is worth the price!

Still there's a big grammatical difference between "mutual lovefest" and "mutual love-fest", "mutual love" meaning what it does.
