But thinking about it...
Yeah. True story.
Also, love Gabe's face in the second panel. So ashamed, but he can't pull up now.

They're like like tiny red barbs - it will only make it worse.

I couldn't agree more.
It's now in my list of Best Tycho Quotes, along with these:
Also, I collect quotes from Jerry.
“She stopped in the middle of the road, which necessitated the kind of tugging and goading we usually associate with livestock. “That was really weird,” she said, and laughed. “That hole would be a good place for a Bombchu.”
“How had we been enriched by the act? Not all toil is virtuous. Some toil is just regular old slavery.”
“You couldn’t throw a rock now without it striking a vagina.”
“Finally, an attempt at real discourse that operates from a core of cold reason and doesn’t rely upon ad hominem. He does resort to ad mominem, but who can resist.”
“It was never clear to me if the shot was offered up by a necromancer, or someone who goes by Necromancer, or if this aesthetic is the preference of nine out of ten necromancers, or what. Shit be ambiguous.”
“Once we noticed our audience, we began to talk about how much we like to pet dogs and how ice cream is, in fact, so good.”
“I was under the impression this was well known, but it does require a willingness to perceive factual information, which is not a universal trait among cultists.”
“A digital ‘book’ - caged on a device, licensed, not purchased - is the sort of thing that greases their mandibles with digestive enzymes. Imagine what these people must think of libraries.”
“If that is too small for you, we’ve tested it, and it fits perfectly on lynxes or other mountain cats. You know. If you have one of those.”
“And no-one of any sense has ever bet against the scorn and resourcefulness of young men.”
“I apologize that the post went up much later than usual, a deeply immoral act which you may correlate directly with my own sloth. That’s definition one, not definition two: I don’t actually own a sloth. I should get a sloth, maybe, just to blame things on.”
“This is the closing of a single circuit, encapsulated in an act that feels like punishment: I’m literally banishing the machine from my home. Get the fuck out of here. Come back when you lose the sassmouth.”
"No-one seems to care, least of all Sony, who is performing lip tricks off a wave of ambiguity.”
“On the whole, I’d say thinking has been a tremendous inconvenience.”
“I wasn’t aware this is something one did, but I’m overjoyed to live in a world more interesting than I previously thought.”
“I will have to open the sunroof, which I have never opened because it lets in the sun, in order to contain this weapon.”
“I don’t believe this would ever happen, for no other reason than because it makes sense and is a great idea.”
“I’ve made it pretty clear that I tend to play women in Bioware games - Shepherd is not now, nor has ever been, a man. I don’t know who the dude traipsing around in the commercials is; a jerk, most likely.”
“I grew up deeply religious, and so this kind of tribalism isn’t a new phenomenon to me - it’s a big part of why I couldn’t call myself a Christian anymore. Also, I thought some premarital sex would really hit the spot. I wasn’t wrong about that, either. Wow!”
“Rovio announced Angry Birds Space, which seems like a strange place to host their customary revels, because inertia.”
“If you are already a liar, it doesn’t help if you ALSO look like an insufferable twat.”
Then he very simply needs to eject.
I was in my late twenties and a female colleague at work started calling me 'F.C.', which is nowhere near my actual initials. I was completely bewildered by this for a week or so until someone else explained 'fire crotch' to me. As God is my witness, I had gone over a quarter century as a redhead without ever hearing that term before.
Admittedly I had a boyfriend once who was only 6'1", but I had to pick a taller height to be more statistically equivalent to red hair. My husband is 6'4" though. I upgraded. :P
I don't have a beef with Tycho, really. I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek and he is just trying to express happiness with his choice of wife. S'cool. But I have heard the ridiculous mythology of redheaded women and how much better they are in every way to the rest of us inferiors since I was a teenager, and I was a little surprised this is still a thing in this decade. And sorry @brossa, there is no similar mythology for redheaded men, as far as I know, and I dated one. He didn't know of any either. It was much later I heard Brits referring to "gingers," which is I believe some kind of insult.
Oh, and this is my favorite Tycho quote:
Wii: 4521 1146 5179 1333 Pearl: 3394 4642 8367 HG: 1849 3913 3132
Fear not women of the world I shall remain steadfast in my vigilance to give you all a fair shot at dis right hurr

I don't actually agree with the statement, even though I love it and feel exactly where he is coming from. Tycho may have forgotten what it is like to be single: He's already found his mate and sealed the deal by instantiating new humans. Those of us that have not can't really allow our legit, even emphatic preferences to evolve into rigid criteria, or we'll be single forever.
To be (semi) serious in here, does that matter? Or rather, if you have preferences/desires/requirements, should you settle for something that doesn't meet them in order not to be single?
Seems to really depend on what you can and cannot compromise on, and how long you're willing to wait to find it - which could be 'forever'.
Fair enough. Maybe what I should say is that I personally wouldn't go so far as to make hair color a requirement, but I can maybe sympathize with someone having that position when it comes to redheads.
If you make it a "requirement" you need to grow the fuck up.
(Not quite the perfect clip but it's the closest on YouTube)
You posting this just made me realize how way too much Jimmy Stewart's buddy knew about his most obsessive fetishes.
But fuck you — no, fuck y'all, that's as blunt as it gets"
- Kendrick Lamar, "The Blacker the Berry"
But why? If someone is willing to wait to find the perfect ginger, why is that a problem? Assuming they don't sit around bitching how they hate being single.
Like Dan Savage's extreme example of furries - he seems to find them as odd as most people do, but also sympathizes with them because what they find sexually appealing - an anthropomorphic, sentient fox - is something they will never find.
We can also imagine Brenna agreeing. No doubt, when Jerry later writes "How I became a eunuch", this exchange of ideas between the two will be the introduction of the book.
Back after a three year hiatus!
And Kaylee, of course.
....well, SHIT, Joss Whedon.
With no shame, I will say it's her and Scully that shaped some very impressionable years for me. Additionally: both doctors. Coincidence? Highly unlikely.

i swear that women is in no way shape or form visually attractive.
(i know, diff'rent strokes and all)
I think his proposal to Brenna to start a harem would get higher priority.
