Yeah, tending to a "stew"-smeared comrade is pretty much the apex of straight male bonding.

Not as much as going out and getting a plunger because you are too drunk to drive and he is too drunk to be conscious

I think I truly knew my best friend was my best friend when I was helping him vomit into my sink and mopping up what missed the sink with nary a word of complaint

I salute you!

That's how I realized my best friend was my best friend too.

that is how paris hilton's My Best Friend ended

yeah friendship truely is cemented by drunken vomiting in sinks my friend even washed my hair after <3

thats heartwarming

I like how asherdan has set up his reputation of being an asshole so soundly that all of his comments are lamed to oblivion, even if he is being an okay guy.

Type 5 stew?

I'll try this again... Type 5 stew?

chubbied for the sheer dedication to research

Type 7, obviously.

Also, what the HELL is wrong with British people? This probably took a lot of work and money and it just didn't need to be done at all!

Actually, it probably takes a lot less time to write "frequent Type 7 stool" than "patient describes pissing brown liquid out of his rectum for three to four minutes at a time whilst being compelled to sing various ad-libbed songs, in the manner of Negro Spirituals, regarding how his over-indulgence in tequila has resulted in the Almighty having completely given him over to the forces of faecal Hell."

You know, I can't argue with that.

Incidentally, I've been off the red meat for a few weeks now and have become a complete Type 6 Man. I was expecting more 3, but a dude could do worse than 6 after all of that 2.

I have a friend who leaves his 'stew' for kicks! He says its to conserve water... maybe Ray is just environmentally conscious.
At least Beef didnt have to shield Rays pecker with a toilet roll to get him off the toilet this time.

You are mistaken. That is not a friend.

Not any more!

I think you mean "Lady in the radiator song".

Which is from the movie "Eraserhead" but the Pixies sung it.

I was fine with that movie up until the Lady in the Radiator

What? She was my favorite part!

her cheeks make no damn sense!

As opposed to the rest of the movie, which was perfectly logical

it makes her look more like a skull-- she represents death

I know that it's Lynch and this can be pointlessly debated for a lifetime, but I've convinced myself that death (or at least Badness in general) was represented by the Man in the Planet. The Lady in the Radiator seemed like more of an angel. Or at worst that she represented a kind of peaceful death. Whatever she is, it's clear that she's in opposition to The Man in the Planet, and therefore cannot be too bad, as he is quite obviously a demonic being and blah blah blah blah .

Aye, she's a goodly being because death is what Henry wants, but I always saw the man in the planet as god, pulling the levers and observing and such.. At the end when things go all sparky and he finally joins the lady, I figured that to be him dying.
but like you said-- it's Lynch.

i love all of you for debating Lynch. just letting you know what's up.

Yes, but you get a chubby anyway. You know why.

Where's your underpants!
In heaven!

No, not Monkey Gone to Heaven, "In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator song)"

Best line ever - "Man things aint never the same once you seen a dude's stew"

Classic.

The thunder of Ray's stew resounds through Beef's brain even to this day.

I'm kind of surprised that this is the first time he's seen Ray's stew.

totes agree with you. all of ray's shennanigans and this is the first time? i dunno...

Ray is kind of classy (or at least perceives himself to be) to let dudes just see his stew

Could be that it isn't the first time. Maybe Beef has seen it so many times he's de-sensitized, and he's saying things have changed in that since his stew-seeing cherry was already so popped, now he doesn't mind helping his friend out of the rough chuckles he's gotten himself into.

"Things ain't never the same once you seen a dude's stew" is one of my mottos by which I live my life.

This is the line that got me totally convinced that this is the best comic ever created.

i can no longer eat stew.

It's a god-what-the-fuck-was-I-doing Monday!

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

Underpants in heaven.

And now I'm going to hell for imagining this blasphemous twist to a song about Eric Clapton's deceased son. I'm going to burn to crispiness.

I've seen a friend's turd (Hey, come here a sec!) and this is definitely something which has contributed to my emotional problems

Whe-e-e-e-ere is Ray?

To the tune of "Where is Love?" from "Oliver!"

I agree with Roast Beef's sentiment. That was a weird moment for me. I honestly think it might've been less weird if I had seen his dick or something.

Hey you know what's even better is seeing your girlfriend's stew

And commenting on how little it is

And then she tells you not to make fun of her poop

It...it seemed a normal situation at the time.

Girls HATE it when you make fun of their Seconds. My old roommate used to try to kind of sneak away to crap, and if I walked by the bathroom, I'd always go "DAAAAAMN that STINKS up ins!" or something similarly inane, but she took it very seriously and would get pissed off, every time, for 6 years.

She also hid all of her farts from me, except for one time: she walked into another room to fart, but I got up to go to the kitchen and walked right into the cloud, figured it out, and she weakly tried to deny it.

:(

Man, if I was Beef I wouldn't even let Ray back in the Galaxie after lying on that bathroom floor. He'd have to get hosed down by like a 6000 PSI pressure washer before that happened.

But then I guess I'm just not as good a friend as Beef is.

Oh shit. Ray is totally singing to the tune of "Where Is Love" from Oliver. He has to be. It is too perfect not to be.

Man Ray's photography is pretty excellent.

"man ray you a shambles"

Photography?

It's yet another comment/joke on how Beef's common starter phrase "man ray..." can be confused with the surrealist artist/photographer/filmmaker Man Ray .

It pops up every once in a while on assetbar.

oh. so...not like this, then?


I've been guilty of it once. It was a long time ago. If I'd known that it was going to happen every time the words "man ray" were mentioned, I wouldn't have bit. I guess I should have realized that it was bound to happen. It's pretty obvious.
