On second thought, Nolan probably never knew Philippe was a child. He found Philippe through Potty Pals, which speaks to a different perversion altogether. Their e-mail exchange made it clear that Nolan assumed he was dealing with a sex merchant, not a five-year-old who was trying to cheer up constipated old people. The guys all assumed Nolan was after a five-year-old, but we have not heard Nolan's side.
Not that I'd want to shake Nolan's hand at this point. No telling where that thing has been.

That's almost exactly what I was going to post until I re-read Beef's line: "bragging all over about how he's gonna have dinner with the kid..." Yes, that could easily be Beef interjecting his own interpretation of Nolan (that he's a pervert and thus a pederast and the main reason the dinner interests him is the kid aspect, not the Potty Pals founder part), and not Nolan's actual comments, but since it's read and summarized pretty quickly by Beef, I was thinking that's more or less what Nolan was bragging about, "having dinner with a kid."
Anyways, per usual, it's all from the mouth of a cartoon cat, so let's not get too worked up over it.

It is indeed a common mistake, but I don't think the usage of "payed" in the alt text was accidental. I rather suspect that the author used that misspelling on purpose to help emphasize to the reader the monetary sense of the payment. If he'd written "paid attention," we'd all have assumed that attention was the direct object, when in fact the implied money was the direct object and Attention, as personified by Ray's hired squad of goons, was the indirect object.

I can see your point. But I don%u2019t like to think he intentionally set out to misspell the past tense of a verb to create some subtle nuance for the reader. I think he just misspelled it. I checked several times before I even made that original post, all thinking %u201Cnah, onstad doesn%u2019t misspell things.%u201D These things happen. They just don%u2019t happen often with Achewood.
But even if it was an intentional misspelling, it was still a misspelling.
Which is all I was trying to point out. It%u2019s what I do.
ooh, other theory: he was seeing who was paying attention.

I think "main pervert of the internet" is part of Beef's and Ray's idiom, like "basic time of friends." That is, I'd guess that a "main time of friends" might a wedding or a reunion, something big that you don't do all the time. So, if Nolan were a "basic pervert of the internet," he'd just be your run-of-the-mill, everyday type of pervert on the internet. A "main pervert" is somehow exceptional, but it does not necessarily mean that Nolan is in the top ten of all perverts.

BRAVO. :)
Beef was Ray's GOF championship. Internet pervs are mere insignificant against the power of Beef and Ray combined. It's like using a black hole to kill an ant.
You cannot hack a massive furious Nazi, but you can hack a filthy spurious pervert.
RAY SMUCKLES: HE GETS THINGS DONE.
So this finally gets explained. I was confused as to why Ray knew so much about perverts. Now Beef, that I can understand - the man spends his free time paying attention to the worst aspects of existence.
Children being attacked by feral goats? Beef has written an essay about it. Ruthless slaughters going on in some jungle-infested asshole of the world? Beef has made posters about such things and then deleted them because they didn't pass muster. Tori Amos accidentally clicking on an advertisement and then seeing a tiger give birth to a stillborn cub? Beef has written a poem about it while sitting in the soulless blue glow of his computer screen.
No, it did not rhyme, but it's hard enough to give words to such things.
I was half and half on this post, and then I hit the last line and was won over.
Bravo.
I really just wanted an excuse to write "feral goats," to be honest.

Is this what a trashy orgasm is?
I feel like a Trashy Orgasm would be some kind of a drink, like the Breast Man.
Actually, the Trashy Orgasm is in fact the Breast Man, just with 2 parts Blue Nun added.
It should be a drink that is really enjoyable to have, but which leaves a bad taste in your mouth and make's you feel pretty sick later on.
Bailey's, with a garnish of crushed walnuts and a drizzle of grenadine.

Poing, I do not know what you are doing. I do not get you, Poing.
Thanks for trying not to "excrete urea," poing. I know it's difficult.

What are you doing with real English. That is not okay.
Not disagreeing per se . I just felt sad I was too late to the lame party on the last post and so lamed here.
Funny, this is the first time I've felt the desire to do that. I hope this isn't a thing.
old, female my foot. sounds like "that guy" has a new persona.
This variety of troll is, I think, our least amusing.

The second set of troll is especially toubling to me. I might not be a billy goat, but I'm dang close enough.
I'd love a chance to inhabit my avatar but really what kind of situation would let me type "HOGAAAAAAAAN"?
Psst, there's a microphone in the coffeepot.
I own a monocle. Of the internet.

Frasier?
This post is much funnier when you read it with its midi accompaniment .
I WILL TRY NOT TO EXCRETE UREA

If I press on your nose, will your arms fall off?
DO NOT BE DISSING ON RINGO.
I AM A FAN.
Attention is the only thing Roast Beef can afford to pay. He is not proud of this but then again he ain't got much to be proud of.
no sir not too much at all
I don't know, it seems like Emeril and Spongebath would "respond" to a "request" by Beef if he needed to pay a "death relationship" sort of attention -- or maybe Trouble Man and No-No -- basically Beef has a lot of contacts to call on.
Ray has earned the respect of Nice Pete. He does not need to look farther than that if he wants to put death on the menu.
Ray may not be of the internet, but he can sure as hell arrange a death relationship.
Ray is of the telephone. He owes a lot to Mr. Bell and his assistant.
Ray's response might seem a bit extreme, but think: this guy is described as a main pervert of the internet. Of the internet. That is so hard to become. Nolan is messed up. This situation is pickles on parade, which is also a fetish site Nolan has signed up for.
Behind every good cat, there is a Roast Beef.
