Lyle's hat trick Tuesday, October 24, 2006 • read strip Viewing 54 comments:

Lyle in this strip is basically every roommate I've ever had.

I've done two out of three.

Why you doing 2 of varnish's 3 roommates, tripper? They sound pretty nasty.

How come?

WHY FIND OUT?

Uh, because they are Lyle in this strip?

I've clipped my toenails on the couch and peed in the sink.

puking in the dishwasher does seem to be the one that's really beyond the pale

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Who wouldn't want to live with Lyle?

Without any of the cats, and with its more straightforward setup-punchline approach, this strip reminds me of 'old school' Achewood.

Just sayin'

Even early Achewood rarely had a punchline as such... this strip feels really weird, like I'm missing something. But still, classic Lyle .

I knew a woman who'd do that during research assistant meetings in graduate school. I think she even cut her toenails once.

There it is appropriate behavior. She should then paint your toenails.

Are you kidding?? Why so few comments? This is one of the best achewood strips, in my opinion. Achewood needs less Ray/Beef storylines, not that they're bad, it just feels like Lyle/Teodor/Cornelius have been neglected :(

I do feel like Ray and Beef get too much 'screen time.' It's not that there is anything wrong with them, it's just that the other characters could become much more three dimensional if they had a chance.

Actually the Beef/Teodor strips have proven to be my favorite ones, probably because they're the two characters I can relate the most to.

BeefxTeodor?

No Zapatos. Bad Zapatos. We'll have none of that fanned fiction.

What we need more of is Todd.

Lyle confesses, yet does not. Delicate.

I am all sorts of okay with peeing in sinks.

as long as you hand-wash with extra hot water and soap

Or bleach in my case.
And I didn't even pee in that sink.

My hands were burning after I had to reach in to pull out the plug though. I should have thought about that before I filled the sink with bleach.

Everytime you flush, you wash about a cup and a half of urine down with about 3 gallons of water.

Save a drink. Pee in the sink.

Once you pee in a sink, it is no longer a sink. It is a urinal. Which makes your kitchen a public bathroom. Which leaves you with a completely new problem: What will you do about all those hobos shaving and changing clothes in your kitchen?

i am sort of okay with puking in the dishwasher

I mean, couldn't you just run it once with no dishes in it? Or would it still smell after?

Okay, maybe twice.

psh ill put my dishes in there with it man i aint about to waste no water

Good point, I mean, you already ate it once, it couldn't have been that bad.

It would be clean puke.

lyle must have woken up with the gin already in him.

lyle was born wasted wae.

this is just funny. ain't no bones about it.

I just learned what "hat trick" means! Thanks, Achewood, for widening my world.

I'm going to start calling it Armoured Rugby now. Thank you, WCC.

A-Ha-HA-Ha! That is the most awesome description of football I have ever read.

I think I'll use the word "Padded" rather than "Armoured"

That bullshit might mean a lot more if you weren't a bitter welsh prick with delusions of both adequacy and racial superiority. I'll take an organized 100-yard strategy over your disorganized, grabass hodge-podge excuse to get wasted and throw a ball around any day.

England, here is a hint: You do not need an excuse to get wasted and throw a ball around.

Do shut your noisehole, in whatever form it takes.
You are of less than any worth and I can't even bring myself to read your stupid comments any more.

I've always known "Hat Trick" from Hockey... but I guess that's just my Canadian half showing.

I immediately assumed he was talking about Cricket. It is a sport wide descriptor then...

Puking in the dishwasher. Such a thing is so hilarious I think I had a heart attack.

This strip kind of reminds me of the first year of achewood

Let's not forget shitting in the washing machine.

And you KNOW you have to turn it on to watch it spin...

... unless you have one of those lame top-lid washing machines that you can't watch from the front.

The search identifies that bottle as being full of achewater, but there is no proof of it in the strip itself! Weird.

Not being a hockey fan, I had to think a minute, and then BWAAAA-HAA-HAAAA.

(I mean, what guy hasn't peed in a sink?)

Heh! Classic Lyle.

This one got a 5 for Lyles last line. He may have said it just to piss off T but I think he's for real.
