Haha you know who Tim Buckley is you loser

oh shit wait

It astounds me that even 2 years ago people still had already begun to forget the fine art of telling people off.

It is difficult to be still doing something already.

Poor guy was buried in lames because of his avatar. When will this madness end?

I like to imagine that he was lamed because he made a lame comment, not because of his questionable taste in gaming comics.

I like to imagine vice versa.

readers of CAD, such as ourselves must NOT advertise this fact.

wait, what?

ALT TEXT: Teodor did not use his imagination.

Has chris been alerted to the missing ALT text issue?

Next Time: The Fate of the Giant R.

Good catch Homsar. You the man

best part: "ding!"

agreed.

I would love to have an animated GIF of Sandra Bullock's head slowly turning in the microwave.

This comment may have gotten many lames, but the ratings given to strips throughout this storyline show that Achewood readers agree with asherdan.

let's face it, envelope is parking on his lawn solely to spite ray

he's bitter about having to say Ray beat his ass.

Teodor wasn't clever enough to think of anything more offensive than "ignorance", but he knew right away that he could use those letters to write "gin ocean".

if you ask me, ignorance is a rather insightful answer.

Insightful, yes. But you can do a lot more with ignorance than just spell it out. Téodor really did drop the ball here.

You know, if you re-arrange Bombay Sapphire, you get Ray's Happie Bomb. I don't know what that is, but it should be in the next cookbook.

And we still don't know how to make a Breast Man. I guess that couldn't go in the cookbook, though, as then non-breast men would have access to the information.

the password is "entropy9"

"entropy9" is just the password for the password. The actual password degrades deeper into randomness nine times each month as a security measure.

those breast men are hardcore!

I'm working on it, dammit, these things take time

Chris could sell a book/zine called 'The RUUUDEST Titties!' and include the recipe there. No ass man would be interested in buying that.

OR what about tanque ray ?? Yeah, it's not as clever, but I'm lazy :\

Nah I prefer Beef eater

I think Ray's bimbo heap is better

This is the lost rulebook for Ray's stoned softball league. I think it would work better in that context than here. Why does it have to be a thing? People are working it out as is.

The truth hurts, but the style leaves a mark. Just don't send me to Binion's.

Unfortunately, I don't know how else to get suggestions on the user experience to AssetBar and Onstad. The site provides no feedback links that I can find. Posting here probably doesn't do it, either.

As you say, there already are solutions, but I really wasn't addressing those problems. In the FAQ, Onstad said he set this place up so we could "have an information party." Could we get more out of the existing tools, and maybe end up with new ways of interacting with and around Achewood?

Which FAQ? Is there a piece of Achewood content I havent injected in my veins yet? you must tell me more.

The Chubbies/Lames WERE getting out of control, the new system handles them fine. No reason to break people even more, Achewood readers are usually elitist enough as it is.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page, click on "Help & FAQ."

Oh, and, uh, it seems you can contact AssetBar by going to their website (you know, type in "www" and so on). No more off-topic geek-spasms from me.

Was anyone else surprised to see there are more girls on Acheworld than guys? I mean the script is absolutely devoid of female influence aside from Molly. Just surprised me is all.

We just say we're women.

Everyone on the Intertubes is a bitter 70-year-old retired furniture salesman in Winnipeg, CA.

Got me.

also i want an ice cream cone

god dammit why can't you post more often

every one is like a new sunrise

every one.

My personal attitude to the system so far has been to highlight chubbies, keep lame comments visible and mark spam as spam. If you don't like something someone says then lame it, comment, or move on. Do you really need the community to censor everything on your behalf? I'd rather decide for myself, a little extra scrolling doesn't hurt and you never know what you might be missing.

And you know, if someone says something that's gotten 10 lames, I sort of want to see it, if only for curiosity.

I registered for the sole purpose of seeing what the lame comments were.

Same here. People forget that there's, like, a whole other world out there of people who aren't registered and can't change their lame threshold. As far as they're concerned, when you're laming someone, you're basically censoring them. Which is why I use mine more carefully.

Thats exactly my sentiments. You should really be seeing things for yourself rather than cotton-wooling the assetbar feature.

Teodor has rolled up his sleeves because he is a working man

good name for a party.

He also could have used the letters to spell "ACNE GROIN". That would have been pretty offensive.

I would not go to that party.

I like "Ogre in Can." It's reminiscent of several past events: Ray's Bathroom Party, Japan Man snapping cell phone pics of Ray on the can, Philippe leaving the door open when Cornelius is in the bathroom.

"Nag No Rice" is a good rule to live by.

"Neon Cigar" is also appropriate for a Ray party. They would have bought an actual neon sign in the shape of a cigar, but they ran out of time and money, so they just described it. I think that's one half-ass beyond "Gin Ocean" because you can't do any better than letters in that case. At least, I can't picture a neon sign in the shape of a gin ocean.

By the way, as you add half-asses to any equation, you get farther and farther from reaching a full ass. Fractional asses can only be multiplied, never added.

OGRE IN CAN also has implications regarding "Takin' it in the can" .

ouch.

i think i've been to that web site too :)

also, my favorite is a tie between "a con reign" and "age in corn"

I, Rearrangement Servant!

hell of amusing. try putting your name in it to see what it says about you. i call it "anagramancy". (^ ^,)

"CANING ROE" would have at least been relevant

NICE ORGAN

I think "Gin Race On" might work the best

NEGRO CAIN is far more offensive, I would think.

Ehh, I think the whole idea is contrived.

isn't T usually the go-to guy for any creative endeavor?

Not on any that actually succeeded.

Even so...I would love to get my hands on that drawing board.

Ray's already losing interest in the project. If he cared about winning this thing, he wouldn't have left to an appointment for an sport that is so 80's .

I dunno. Maybe "gotta make a tennis date at the club" is simply the most awesome euphamism for taking a dump ever.

It's amazing how much they planned for this but still ended up half-assing it.

Randy ran off with the "R." He has visions of rearranging the HOLLYWOOD sign to spell HOLY WORLD.

That doesn't explain what he wants with the extra O

WOOL DOILY

the 'ding' makes it

I sense a romance in the future for Keith Moon's head.

The whole thing is pretty ok, but the full front yard panel actually makes it for me... "ding!"... extension cord running in the front door... Teodor all standing next to the giant letters, admiring his work. GIN OCEAN!

GIN OCEAN
hahahaha

IGNORANCE

Nothing more tacky than a giant sign of that.

...unless it says "HIV SALSA"

i think a giant sign that only says 'illiteracy' in large bold colorful letters would be much more tacky

I can top that with a giant sign that says "ILITTERACY" in large bold colorful letters.

Apparently, the best anti-abortion activists in the biz aren't all that organized. Randy can't even get the poster right.

Whoever was in the top floor window has pulled the shade, apparently wanting no part in this endeavor.

shit, i didn't notice that. maybe todd has had a run-in with a microwave before.

It's definitely Little Nephew. He's what, 14? Absolutely must avoid appallingly embarrassing behavior by his only father figure.

Or we could, like, suck it up and go do other things with our lives for a day, then come back and read another free comic whenever there is one

Seriously. What right have you got to complain that a strip is late given that you're getting them for free?

If we don't get a story about that thing in the window that's just shot the blind, I'm going to be very disappointed. Well, not that disappointed, but a story into that would be so rad I couldn't even.... couldn't even....

Abortion-lobby jokes? Hackneyed? What the hell-kind of comics do you read most times? Because I want links, dammit, links....

Is a gin ocean party kind of like a gin bucket party only with like ray's pool filled with the gin and stuff?

I would go see a band called "Gin Ocean"

i thought the anagram "once grain" was pretty relevant, what with the booze and all.

Another anagram is GRAPEADON

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. CONTAINS SMALL DELICIOUS GRAPE-FLAVORED PARTS. NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER FIVE. DO NOT AIM GRAPEADON MISSILES AT PEOPLE OR ANIMALS.

It is nice to see the celebrity head gimmick used again.

Where'd the "R" go?

Damnit, I was almost to the bottom of the page and nobody had pointed that out.

Gin Ocean. One of the bet places to hunt for Drinkin' Island.

*best*
