Roast Beef's sass about schools is legendary. His hidden contempt for Ray's ignorance is always great when it surfaces.

One would hope the rarity of Beef's said ability decreases with proximity to a school. Unfortunately, the rarity/proximity relationship is not the prevalent case.
Could I have said that with fewer double negations? Probably. But I'm hell of hungover, so fuck you for asking.

I realized that it is completely a piece of shit thing to pretend to be an adult. If people find my opinions valid, I trust them to be mature enough to judge me on them rather than how I old I am.

I love this strip so much. Ray is reluctant, but ready to admit that he doesn't understand the fancy science talk. And Beef is there for him with a simple answer. Ah, friendship.

I once explained to my Ex-Wife exactly how and why people don't inbreed (the genetics of it) in terms of coloured cookies.
Seems Beef isn't the only one with a knack for explaining science to the science-impaired.
But wouldn't anyone who understood it find a way to explain to a friend who didn't?

Man why is Ray trying to fix or figure out his printer in the dark? Did he shut off the power to the entire house to avoid the risk of electrocution because it's easier to walk up and trip a breaker than to crawl around and unplug the printer?

Ray has to turn the lights off to see the lazers. Step two for him would have been to blow smoke into it. Or, maybe, turn on a Pink Floyd album.

Damn. I missed this the first two times through, but Ray is "in the dark." In more ways than one. Genius. There are probably 1,000 such extreme subtleties which I've missed. I'll have to look more carefully on the third time around.

Nobody cares, but I was just drivin' around today, and realized that I didn't know exactly how a laser printer worked (ain't no laser beams in there, FOOL!), and was going to read up on it online tonight. As always, the answers to all of life's questions can be found in Achewood.
Achewood: better than Google.

I had this exact thing happen to me last week, and forgot to look it up. And here Achewood has explained it is textbook form, and entertained me all at once. Achewood: definitely better than Google.
Dude below, I wish I could explain just how wrong you are, but alas, I can't figure out how to incorporate a sock into it.
