A junior engineer working for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.
Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil became Jeanie’s master.
1. I don’t think Lord Guano is going to be too pleased with our blue genie’s instantaneous corruption by the 21st century. Not to mention mistreatment of her new master…
2. C’mon, guys! Neil’s name is spelled correctly, right there on the comic! What’s with the “Niel” and “Neal” stuff, eh?
3. I think Neil’s going to be doing some reading of that book, _The Care and Feeding of Genies_ real soon now. Wonder what’s in it…
haha i know right same here it seems to happen to all my fav stuff and i always thought C.D was like 10 or 12 but i was sooo wrong my tv shows are on hold some of my sites are down from bugs and hacks and i can’t buy my new video game cus they keep rasing the price 😛 so im stuck working for more money lol don’t ask what the video game is it makes my geaky lol
yeah i realy like the shows smallvile and castle and it seems they cant keep airing new episodes for more than two weeks before its back to reruns i mean common who ever schedules shows there is absalutly no reason to have such well unreasonable gaps in new episodes
Araceli: That air and space museum thingie that you liked so much? You’ve got one of the guys who does that stuff in stocks, carrying your bags. You might consider asking him about it.
Neil: Never carry a woman’s bags for her. Just don’t. At least you’re not carrying her purse.
Remember who’s Master here, although I acknowledge that dealing with a pedestalized goddess who actually can strike you down is problematic, but you have got to get the upper hand somehow. I suspect that all you have to do is to say with all the authority you can muster, “Listen to me!” and not allow her to talk over you. You may even have to expend a wish: “I wish you would listen to me!” but your dignity and even your safety is at stake here.
The stocks are used to confine a prisoner’s legs. What Neil has is more like the pillory, except that the pillory is not mobile, but fixed to a post in a public place. The best parallel would probably be the cangue, but it did not confine the arms. As a large wooden collar (the size and weight depended on the magnitude of the offense), it confined just the head. Without aid, however, the cangue was a death sentence, as the prisoner could not arrange to eat or drink on his own. The pillory (not usually the stocks, though, as they denoted a lesser offense) was also sometimes a death sentence, as crowds would hurl things at the prisoner, up to and including heavy stones that could maim, blind, or kill. Pillories were also used as whipping posts.
For someone who just got out of her bottle after a century or so with a new master, Araceli is taking a lot of risk by running amok the way she’s doing…
Hooray! Jeanie Bottle is back! 🙂
Looks like Aricelli is having fun! Niel: not so much. 😀
Aw. XD Araceli looks so happy. XD Though I think Neal doesn’t quite like the “souvenier” he has. XD
He’ll probably wind up taking it back to work with him.
Well … duh?
She’s just been to her first shoping mall! 🙂
THE MALL! Oh noes!! Genies gone wild. Thanks for the new page

Oh, you too, Araceli and Neil.
