Here is.

Looks like jock jerk might just be a jock.  And I think he has a crush on Grace.

Tell him to stand in line.

If we had any sort of hint that this was canon I would need to update the great web of shipping.  Actually I need to do that any way to account for new canon relationships (Diane <> Lucy, Grace<>Ashley, just of the top of my head)

Is this jock's name Glurk?

Or is that some some local phrase that is unknown outside of Moperville?

[ChronosCat 158]

I believe "glurk" is a sound made by something along the lines of a surprised gulp.

Also, given Justin's blush, I think he's attracted to the jock.

Assuming that Justin isn't into either twinks or bears, that would follow.

Could (he needs a name) Jaques(?) be related to AD Liefeld?

Possible, but I would say unlikely.  Having lots of muscles isn't really all that rare.

Maybe, but lots of muscles served with pasta and a garlic sauce is not common enough

Blink.  I thought I spelled that right.  <google>  Yeah, I did.  Don't mess with my mind like that.

Mussels are not bad, but I prefer scallops.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,619]

Ok, I've become dependant on spell check

Mussels, clams, and oysters are pretty much most of the animal removed from the shells. Scallops are not, at least not in North America. Genuine scallops are just the muscle that clamps the shells shut. They are also small. If you get large scallops, chances are that it is stamped ray fin, imitation scallops cut with a cookie cutter like device. I agree, though, still tasty.

Bivalves are also good served on the half shell.

I live by the little red line.  What gets me is when there are two words that are in fact spell correctly but are the wrong one in context.  "From" and "Form" are my biggest bug-a-boos, but there are others.  Plus, of course, my habit of dropping words of less than 3 characters at random.

[ijuin 594]

A, I, am, an, at, be, do, go, he, if, in, it, ma, me, my, of, on, or, pa, so, to, ya. That’s all of the English words of less than three characters that I can think of. Including interjections I have ah, er, ha, hi, ho, la, lo, na, oh, ow, um, ur, yo, and za. Any others I could think of are either abbreviations or not used in English except as obvious loanwords.

[Darth Fluffy 338]

Spell check is not as bad as SMS word substitutions.

I should have said "3 or less characters"
