Well, since Jessica has already put this much work into it, I suppose we could continue. But now I guess we'll just have to turn Eddie into a satan ninja at some point since you've ruined our original plan.

The satan ninja story will be much better than continuous bullying of Eddie by college jocks, men with goats and space bounty hunters..

"I'm so sure!" really brought me back to a place I had long forgotten. Nice to see Joe getting a touch of comeuppance and man oh man:
BABE ALERT: ...is Tina ever too good for that guy. I can see him fucking up that relationship once he sobers up and overthinks the situation.

I can see him getting overconfident again during each and every party from now on and her getting fed up with him being leathered every time..

At first we had Veronica responding to Ryan's comment with "As if!" However, it seems a lot of people strongly associate that particular valley girl speak with the mid-nineties due to the movie Clueless, so we thought it'd be better to go with the more '80s "I'm so sure!"

"As if" does relate more to the 90's. While many catch phrases and slang are more generational than culture driven I can see how it may be tough to keep that "correct".

It's frustrating how hard it can be to find out what era certain slang words and phrases were actually prominent during. At one point, we realized that having Trish say "Whatever, Dean," back in Issue 1 sounded a bit more nineties than we'd intended. I think I remember Adam reading something about how it was used in that way in the 80s once on The Golden Girls or something, but it didn't become a real bimbo staple in that "What-EVERRR" sort of way until the nineties.
Looking this stuff up a little bit just now, I learned that there's a thing called "sexy baby voice." Gah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_baby_voice

As long as you guy's stay close to the 80's you'll be fine. "whatever" can slide as 80's especially late 80's but phrases can be harder to pass off. I think so far you've done an excellent job of keeping it period correct. Much more so than some movies and tv.
