Hey, give him credit. Look at that hand in panel 3! It's good enough to have been photoshopped in from somebody else's webcomic, that's how good it is.

Good eye there, tommycrashwreck.

sorry, sorry.

you mean pleafure

efpecially for your pleafure

The Montage has a Special Purpose, and you are not to treat it as if it were a mere bit of parlor-trickery, or the first dirty word of a young boy.

Indeed, but I feel we should consider it for one more strip. Then it shall be relegated to its rightful place, and all who misuse the Montage shall suffer a murrain of lames

nay, an avalanche of them

Then you may be surprised how this ends up. Four lames in six hours and more to come if there is justice in this world.

We can help you out with that!

I don't understand why they are so limited. Maybe for new people, but after a certain point I think we should have infinite chubs and lames. Unless you're AIU.

your lames are limited by how many you receive. Apparently the assbar deems douchebags unworthy of judging douchebaggery in others.

That explains a lot in my case.

My ratio is a lot worse than yours.

Boy, what world you living in.

A WORLD OF LAMES

(it's a little like a world of pain except lamer)

That was directed at rowboat.

I don't understand the question.

"Then you may be surprised how this ends up. Four lames in six hours and more to come if there is justice in this world."

"Boy what world you living in."

Ain't no justice in the world.

"Wait a minute -- what's happening to my special purpose?"

Featurelessvoid should make it so that all instances of "s" get transformed into "f" for the next version of asserbarrista. I don't even know if that is possible.[/humblesuggestion]

I don't like that, because if we're ever talking about Angelina Jolie's puffy lips, I will think you are all dirty birds.

Oh I am so juvenile, he he hee.

Dang man why you gotta stir up ideas in me that were basically only just suppressed two seconds ago by a bag of ice?

Where do I sign up for the pussylips discussion?

What strip is the first series of panels from? Chubby to the first person who provides a link.

Bam.

kitty porn!

I'm starting to see that little nephew has learned quite well from Ray!

and the hand in panel 10 is good too

It muft sizzle.

I like that a kettle is the 17th century Welsh version of a clock.

(Also it has the letter P on it.)

P-Driggy is here to let you know what time it is! It's tea time, motherfuckers!

YES

Me hair was the riot of faggots as long as I was cutting it meownself.

What exactly does faggots means in this context? I'm familiar with the homophobic slur and the term for cigarettes, but his hair doesn't really look like either of those to me.

I always thought faggot meant "a bundle of sticks". Kinda fits in this instance.

A chubby to you, good sir.

A couple of years (so I was 18) ago a twelve year old daughter of my parents' friends came up to me and called me a faggot, laughing mischievously. After I said "thanks" she asked me if I knew what it meant.
"A bundle of sticks?"
"No, it means holey cheese!"
"No it doesn't. Originally it referred to a bundle of sticks, and then it became a slur for "homosexual" because they used to tie them up to stakes and burn them alive, using a bundle of sticks as a torch."
"Oh. . .someone told me it meant holey cheese."
"Oh, yeah. That too." *pats head*

vis: your proposed etymology of faggot, wikipedia says: "This is unlikely to be the case"

Yeah, I looked it up before I wrote that, but you can't change history, man.

that girl had something against the swiss

Look, faggot and gay still have their original uncorrupted meaning in this town of Welshmen.

sooo....what is a riot of bundled sticks....


The faggots that I...

boned?

A faggot is a tied up bundle of sticks.

That is correct. With an axe in the middle, they are a symbol of fascism. From the Latin for faggot, fasces.


(I'm guessing on the Latin part, and definitely don't know where we're going with that one)

Fasces, feces, let's call the whole thing off.


He has little Latin and less Greek. (Ancient insult)

Little Latin Lupe Lu. (East Side L.A. party girl)

WITH MY AXE

AND MY SWORD

AND MY FANCY HAT!

Go type "faggots in a butt" into Wolfram Alpha and see what happens

What exactly does faggots means in this context? I'm familiar with the homophobic slur and the term for cigarettes, but his hair doesn't really look like either of those to me.

ASSETBAR!!!

Oh assetbar, you rogue!
Faggots does not mean cigarettes in any context I am aware of. It can mean a delicious concoction of offaly butcher's cast offs, or a bundle of sticks, which I assume is the meaning intended here.

It doesn't mean cigarettes? Ever?

Does this mean that Arrested Development lied to me???

"Fag" is a cigarette; "faggot," as far as I know, is not.

Oh. Thanks! Internet, you may not be able to tell, but I am currently blushing.

MANATEE

Or dugong. Hard to tell at that resolution.

I just keep letting the internet down! Sorry the resolution does not meet your standards, i_love_kate. You may request a full refund.

(and yes, they are manatees)

Dude, I thought you were going for an Effect, there! Now you've killed all the mystery.

Oh, applesauce! Well, sooner or later I'll pick a new avatar featuring an animal that is not easily discernible from a similar animal.

It can be like a contest!

I've heard that a "faggot" can be a kind of smoker...

A pole smoker?

Mr. Richard Smoker?

Tell me about it. You see a bunch of ads around the Castro with a rainbow flag with a cigarette added as the last bar with a slogan like "When did smoking become a part of us?" Seriously. What's the crazy gay obsession with smoking?

I mean, it's not as amazingly destructive as PnP, but at least there's a more directly obvious reason why people would be into that.

today on: belgand talks about san francisco to people on the internet who do not live in san francisco

but to be constructive for a minute, what's PnP? I'm not gay or from SF so I don't know

PnP means "party and play," which is slang for " I guess we won't be hooking up after all, thank you. "

It's not really about San Francisco, it's more about gay culture. The ad was referenced just to support it as more than just "Them homersexuwals sure do like to smoke, ain't dey Zeke?"

In really old-school terminology, a "Faggot" is a bundle of sticks used to start a fire.

Yer such a pussy!

I'll put a fig between my lips and think of you.

You know, the Jerries aren't so bad...they're just being led by a rotten apple.

It is also worth knowing that 'fagged' or 'fagged out' is an old person's term for tired. Also it means you have been dancing to Cher for hours on end and could not jerk one more penis until you have rested.

OH MAN I've been trying to think of that word all week, thanks!

They say it's one of the hardest words to translate..

This likely comes from the English public school system of "fagging" where younger boys would be assigned to act as servants for senior boys. It has since been largely deprecated. It is also loaded with the degree of homoerotic subtext that only a good boarding school education guarantees you. Not that being an officer's "batman" is much different.

Did you just call batman a fag? [IMGS OFF]

And me hair is the real riot of faggots here.

God I loved Newhart as a kid. Was I a weird kid?

Loving Newhart is like loving to breathe. Nobody can ever hold that against you.

...

Now that I think about it it is a tad weird to actively enjoy breathing. Maybe you were kinda weird. But I loved it too.

Depend what your breathing, mon. Jenkem is not classy

I take the lamb's breath, mon. I breathe the 'erb.

I remember it as being oddly comforting. I think saying that I enjoyed it would be a stretch, though.

man but the devil's easy logic makes so much sense

that's why it's so easy.

Comment left by wha ignored.

Did you get lost on your way to the Doonesbury comments section? Remember to take that right turn at Albuquerque.

It's not that I particularly disagree with the political opinions put forward in Doonesbury, I'm just turned off by the idea of people reading a comic in order to have their own opinions fed back to them so they can nod and smirk as if they were enjoying the smell of their own farts.

The same thing was posted on the last strip. It's spam. Just like iwannacum and bertha.

What? IS this meant to imply or inform that hip-hop extravagance has its roots in a specifically Celtic deferment to those who maintain the peculiarity of a mad-man in thought, speech, and dress?

Dear. God. I. Am. Not. A. Religous. Man...

I see no other explanation for that strip.

This arc is hella weak btw. My feelings on this strip are Con.

I think it's just run its course. We peaked at the nacho unveiling and after that it's been just some dudes talking at each other in urban slang and Welsh dialect. Aside from the Poet Prison gag, at this point there's been no real development in the joke. Either make Padrig a rap sensation already, or shoot Little Nephew in the head and send him back home.

The last two have been weak, but I loved it up through Bereft of My Drink by the Constabulary and have faith that it will promptly wrap up or find new life.

Besides, this is necessary for the story. Onstad doesn't waste main characters. We need LN back.

When has LN ever been a main character? He is a prop for Ray or when Onstad wants to discuss the ruinous traits of the younger generation.

Little Nephew was the impetus for introducing us to Nice Pete as "The Death Sound" and for that he deserves all praise and accolades.

Speaking of accolades, AKKOLADE is also awesome just for that one strip where it is imagined that he threatens to sexually assault Uncle George.

He just wanted to make love to Uncle George's face is all. Is that so wrong?

Do you mean morally wrong or incorrect?

Because it is neither. It is so awesome.

I GOT T0 GET UP IN YA BABY!

Correct. I wanna cum.

A more accurate pastiche there never was.

Don't we all.

I was gonna' say that same thing.

I just realized this is the first "Surreal" arc in quite a while and all that's happening is the surreality is being turned back into reality by LN. I want to see some Welsh Magical Realism.

I want to see Nice Pete.

I want to see some inappropriate instruments of affection.

[IMGS OFF]

She looks barely amused.

I feel that it is the raw intimacy of the piece that truly makes it a most powerful image. Husband, overcome with passion, draws so close his arms appear in-frame, risking charges of indecency as well as splash-back sodden coat-sleeves.

Gotta hose the bitch down sometimes, y'know?


'Hey! This toilet says 'Hecho en en el PaĆ­s de Gales'"

I'm holding out for Portuguese Magical Realism. I might also be persuaded to accept Manx Magical Realism.

Dude, no. You don't settle with Magical Realism. Latin or nothing, swine flu be damned.

But what about Soviet-style Socialist Magical Realism?

Indeed

Does.....does that mean that your doodie looks like how you actually feel?

Quote:
Welsh Magical Realism

You sire have pegged it!

at this point I'm pretty much looking at their little cat faces, and inserting anecdotes about my day into the speech bubbles.

for instance, Little Nephew is remarking on the similarity between Hoyt Axton's forever voice and Leonard Cohen's middle-aged voice. He feels a collaboration between the two would've been pretty awesome, unlike the troublesome grouping of Tom Waits and Kool Keith, that only ended in a gross misuse of both of their talents, and a sexual battery charge.

Padrig is staring in a mirror, clawing desperately at what remains of his childface.

I think a major reason for the current arc%u2019s unpopularity is the disproportional amount of dialogue in comparison with images. The ability to narrate with both words and pictures simultaneously is what distinguishes the comic from the old-fashioned novels, and some of the best Achewood arcs have been developed in strips that were almost entirely sequences of mute images (Mexican Magical Realism, Philippe Kidnapped, Cartilage Head). Bill Watterson discovered this and put it to great use in his later Calvin and Hobbes strips, to the extent that I can often place a strip within a year just by looking at the words-to-images ratio. In my humble option, strips with just two talking heads like the one above are a waste of the comic strip%u2019s fertile narrative resources, no matter how clever and beautiful the dialogue is (and Onstad%u2019s standard is pretty damn high).


BBCODE!!!!!! Last time I c&p from word.

What about BBCode? I don't see anything wrong with your post. I don't see any real tags in there.
Maybe you should install assetbarrista.

my apostrophes are replaced by "%u2019". how do i obtain this assetbarista you speak of?

Assetbarista or no, copy and pasting is poor form. I like that assetbar calls it onto the carpet.

Why do I care? 'Cause fuck y'all.

That said, I'm feelin' ya, karljw. That is an astute assessment. This arc must change or die. It was good, but it's gone on too long. I'm jonesin' for a surreal one-off or five.

why is copying and pasting poor form? it's easier to write a thought-out, meaningful comment (by meaningful, I mean an actual original comment on the comic strip, not repeating a line, talking about how the line has entered your vernacular, or talking about how this line made it a 5) when you can see more than 3 lines at a time. Word allows this, assetbar does not.

It isn't poor form. It is actually good form, in my opinion. It lets you see if you need more paragraph breaks. I would recommend using Notepad though, because I'm pretty sure the apostrophes will transfer over. Probably Wordpad too.
Assetbarrista

If you really don't trust yourself, at least write it here and then c&p it somewhere to take a look at it after posting. It doesn't really matter though 'cause fuck y'all.

Why would you check it after you post?

After drafting, before posting. That's what I meant to say. Maybe if I'd written it in Word first and obsessively pored over it I could have avoided such an embarrassing mistake. On the internet.

The Innernet: An Embarrassing Mistake?

you've made 3,647 comments as of now and you're talking about obsessiveness.

You've viewed more than 1200 strips, nutter.

most everyone on asset bar has.

He's right, were all nutter.

I hope you are not surprised

Some body's doin' 'is 'omework! How long did you spend studying my profile, you Dirty Danny? I need a shower.

Anyway, there are people who have been posting here for a way shorter amount of time than I have who have many more posts than that. And I wasn't talking about obsession, I was talking about pedantry.

I couldn't possibly be fuckin' ya'll harder than I am right now, by the way. I wish you could see it.

(he's talking about me, y'know)

(among others)

you're actually one of the better commenters on this site, so i have no beef with you.

Are you talking to Rowboat or me?

rowboat, but i won't stop you from pretending it was you.

I piss on your spit! I shit on your piss! I fart on your shit! I laugh at your fart! WE ARE FRIENDS AGAIN!

Use Notepad, it won't replace your apostrophes with single quotes.

found it. when i said BBcode, evidently I meant unicode. i know very little about computer language.

Your humble option? English Major? My lord.

BURN

You are the very model of a modern English major.

Right on, Gilbert.

Little Nephew's moguls just dropped. He's acting more and more like Ray every day.

Ok now i miss path. Seriously fuck Wales.

Pat, hell this shit is getting to my head

Little Nephew has learned well

LN's right hand in the third panel is what took all day.

Eating that entire cheeseburger is what took all day.

That lady was just DAMN impressed that such a burger could be fashioned.

If you were not as well then I must infer that you routinely consume entire cows as a matter of course.

I don't think I get this but I'm hoping it's as simple as I'm imagining.
"I can't believe I ate that WHOLE THING! How can I finish this comic now??"

If you did not see Onstad linked to a picture of a massive cheeseburger and stated that he needed to do more study of Wales before the comic could be posted. The burger in question would easily have required an entire afternoon or longer to consume. In fact, considering that its mass was greater than that of most people's bodies it might have taken him even longer.

When Onstad finishes a strip the next strip will only be posted once he is finished eating a massive food product that takes many days to complete. This is his way. We are wise not to question it.

I forgot about the picture because I thought it was a non sequitur kind of thing. Now I am all caught up. Thank you.

What? Where is this picture?

He had it on that little above the comic update thing, where he lies about posting the comic. He had a picture linked of a giant cheeseburger and a girl standing next to it all like "wow."

I believe this is what you're looking for.

[IMGS OFF]

'Tis.

God damn I would devour that thing six ways from sunday.

The burger looks pretty good, too.

Holy cow.

Looks more like several cows in there

MOO to that!

I would have sex with that burger

the real star in this picture's case is that there is a website called cheese-burger.net

cheese and burger all hyphenated in an adorable way

"Burgers, Cheeseburger and stuff..."

And this little beauty, which I freely admit means more to me than anything that old bastard Einstein ever did.

So how should I presume?

Seriously though, I did at least two theses on Love Song in the past couple of years, the latest being this past semester so it was kinda on my mind.

I paticularly liked the ketchup packets.

Seriously. All you skinny early 20 somethings can suck it and floss the chunks in the afterglow because you're all gonna get guts in about 7 years. I was a beanpole for a quarter century. I still am but I got a gut now; but that's OK, I'm joggin again. Eatin apples for snacks. Gonna beat the G in '03 x 3.

Of course, you might not: just don't drink or eat out at bars as much as I did.

I've had a gut since 13 and I've gained 20 pounds since September 2007. Don't talk to me bout no gut.

Thats a cognition, i've gained 20 pound since i got 20 years old.

I've gained thirty pounds of lean cock muscle since the beginning of this thread.

I've lost ten pounds in the last two years or so and I don't know how or why. I did not need to lose those ten pounds.

Damn you straight to nonchalant skinny man hell. What's funny is I lost 6 pounds my first semester of college and now after two years I've gone up practically 20. I blame the American college system.

I'm guessing it's from all the fffffuckin'

Well, it just kinda happened.You knwo like when you drink alot and a friend of yours too, and then you are in the same bed playing super mario 3 ?

That kind of way

No, I don't know, seeing how I neither drink not am homosexual.

yet i did not speak about sexuality, but about a good times shared playing a rich and almost universally lauded game.

You've got a skewed mind

When you are in a bed with another person, you are officially attracted to them. It's why my father beat me after my mom let me go to that sleep-over when I was eight.

Are you saying i was gay by "bedding"

Retract

It is alright to be gay.
I like gay people.
Just not in my bed. =/

You know wolfensti's not American, right? They have different rules up there. In Mexico, for example, you're not gay unless you take it. In Canada, playing video games drunk with your friend in bed isn't gay unless you're playing Final Fantasy or something gay like that.

Why are you so culturally insensitive, dude?

playing final fantasy is proof enough in most cases. being drunk in bed with a friend is just an unnecessary extra degree.

hi eery one I'm really sorry about all the multiple blank posts.

what happened is that I was in a frustrated mood

and then I tried to make a post using the form on the top of the page which I am not in the babit of boing.

so I hit post, and the text I had typed had disabbeared, but the "post a comment" box was still there!!!

normally when that happens, it is because Assetbar has fucked up. when you are replying to a post, the edit box disaapears as soon as you hit "post," and when it doesn't, it means assetbar fucking up big time. sometimes you press post again, and then it works.

so I pressed post seral time out of frustration

and then I scroll down and I see big mess that I make

I is sorry sorry soorry sorry sorry

I was trying to whack off and my dick just wouldn't bone up an' i was like "i'm fit, i'm young, this should not be the case. a breeze should get me atleast a partial. what is deal, me?" an' i was just rubbin' it with one hand and my skin mag in the other (lol it is not a skin mag it was on-the-line i m not so old fashioned) an' i was like, "no, this is not happening. stop rubbin' and str8 think this out. this can't happen. not to you, er, me" so i sad 'n thot 'n thot. then i stotted to look at everything, diet, phsyical fitness, the online porns.

that last one actually was the culprit. turns out it was a black woman an' i jus' ain't n2 dat at all lol

Girl, you're gonna run out of things to rape with. Be prepared.

I have actually seen a film where this happens .

i think I may not be the only one who would like background info on that

Well it's not actually rape, but it does involve a woman who has had her foot amputated using her atrophied leg stump to bugger a man.

Though it does seem as though you were the only one.

Why would you watch such a thing

Because it's better than television.

look at that manjaw

Apparently many of the women featured in Playboy look masculine because Hugh is bisexual.

I'm trying to think of a pun for Hugh/you that implies you're gay

In the comedy team of Fry and Laurie, one of them is gay and one of them is Hugh.

Then fuck Hugh!

Hugh knew?

Oh no Hugh didn't.

He could peddle his little boys club on his blog or some other irrelevancy so that the people who take the time out of their day to read his comic won't be regularly scolded, scorned, and insulted for not paying a tithe to the Church of Achewood.

Bah, all I hear is the bawling of Marxist test-tube babies crying out for the tit of their own sense of entitlement.

"Test-tube babies" is an insult? What is this, 1978?

"1978" is an insult? What is this, 1987?

What is this, bush week?

Correct. I wanna cum.

it's astonishing how quickly that kills a thread.

You mean the thread that I... boned ?

This was good until the boning things showed up. I hope the boned thing is a joke, my friend died from taking too many of those. Not funny, not cool, not a good strip.

What's this got to do with . . .

aw, fuck it

Dude, do you have some kind of inverse machine elf? Because, and I intend this at all offensively, you get a completely inordinate amount of chubbies. Well, not that exactly, more like a consistent flow of them for everything you write.

I feel a bit dickish for pointing this out, but it's been nagging at me for a while.

I, uh... I don't intend this at all offensively.

I mean, not only is he a putrid pile of puke rotting away in some godforsaken alley where trannies give blow jobs to drunken nine year olds, a very curse on the human race, proof that God either does not exist or actively hates us, but he got the meme wrong too.

I am what I want to be. I don't care.

No. I myself don't understand why some of my comments are chubbied and other comments (of mine) are not.

I comment too much (I promise to cut down) and most of my posts get zip even if I think that it was the most clever post on the board (e.g., my comment above )

A comment left by randem was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Wolfensti, desert_donkey, pointy_stick, otter, gorrioncita, eidolem)

Again ? I tought we were done with that shtick

Who does have Spam Marking Privileges?

I don't know, but at least three of them need to get off their asses and get to work.

I have done my sworn duty. I have marked the spam... but where are the other defenders of the universe? where are my brethren! is all hope lost?

so, what use is it to mark it as spam, since it obviously hasn't been put on the global ignore list?

Don't ask me. Wozzeck requested and I simply delivered.

Once posts are marked as spam 3 times, they don't show up by default. It's like turbo-lames. Except very few people can actually give them.

Hopefully someone will one day uncover the secret of how to get spam marking privileges.

I pray it is not that aiu douche.

Well, unless it is something like "be a nice person for 10 consecutive strips and never register multiple accounts"

I'm clear on the multiple accounts, but I think my current consecutive kind-hearted strips record can't be more than, like, three.

If you're cuntpasting an appeal to rationality and the importance of recognising the sum of human knowledge, why would you (or the original transcriber) presume to change Asimov's use of the word "its" to "it's"?

"on our knowledge, grasp and understanding of science, of it's potentialities and of it's limitations" etc.

There's no way this repeated mistake appeared in the original text (written by a professional author and proofed by professional editors), so it's incredibly annoying to see it inserted into an otherwise thoughtful (if over-pasted) piece.

You are mind-raping both Asimov and the Amazing Randi. This might seem trifling to some, but it annoys others.

noted... yes you are correct, in the book it's its not it's. future editions will be corrected... and yes there will be future editions...

Pedr Morris owns a lot of ass!

SO IF YOU WANT TO BE STARTIN' SOMETHING, THEN EAT MY WHOLE DICK AND NUTS AT THE SAME TIME. I'M NOT TALKIN' TO YOU, BUT, LIKE, YOU GOTTA ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS. I GOTTA ANSWER THE HARD QUESTIONS IN A HARD-TYPE MANNER.

Ok wow, that definetely got out of hand.

That was meant to be a hand?

A naked lady?

He was trying to make ASCII art of an internet meme. You can see it for yourself if you ask your browser to "view source" on that image. Except that it's probably too big to fit on the screen unless you maximize the view-source window and minimize the font size. Here's a shrunken screenshot:
[IMGS OFF]

such a concerted effort to turn one meme into another, more archaic meme

You summed up the situation in such a clear and concise manner. Good work.

This is in my top five least favorite posts of all time.


But when I think about it as a meta-post, it is high upon a spectacular pedestal which nothing can ever reach. Meta-bravo.

As far as meta-posts go, nothing will beat Manflesh's Scrolling Wall of Puppies.

One hundred puppies for every instance of the name of the main character in a fanfic! Brutal!

But artistic. The man is this generation's Marquis de Sade.

But how can you deny the artistic genius behind "Sexy Weekend: A Commentary on Consumerist Culture as it Relates to Sexy Weekends Worldwide" ?

Ah, the day Manflesh burned me so hard I had to contain his ass.

I have a series of rooms, each one airlocked, and within those rooms sits a single computer. When I log in with my "normal" computer, and see a Manflesh post, it is, of course, ignored (for both my safety and the safety of others). However, being the kind of soul that I am, I trek through the airlocks (a fifteen hour process, all told: three changes of paper scrubs, beta radiation bath, chemical scrubbing [twice], a full body shave, removing the first layer of everything via fire, etc) and log into this specially contained computer.

Upon this computer, I open a specially built browser, which has macros installed to reveal a picture ten rows of pixels at a time, and requires permission to continue showing the picture. It also has a dictionary of the worst words in the English language, and every keyword ever uttered by a member of the Voyager cast. Upon encountering these items, it shows the entire sentence as a giant black bar, reminiscent of heavily-censored Freedom of Information Act documents.


Sometimes, these steps are not enough.

I'll be happy when this arc is over.

I'll be happy when you're on your knees, blowing like the breeze.

creepy synergy, there, boys

Please get SARS.

I, too, have figured out something today: There is no limit on *Ignore User*.

Isn't that something?

That guy hit auto-ignore faster than the human eye could interpret.

I think the eye perceives while the brain interprets.

Hush now, Dr. Science. This is no place for you.

You can take the child out of the city, but you can't take the wigger out of the man.

What is it about this comic that attracts you mouth-breathing bigots? Go away.

i.e., there is no accountability. ergo, no-accounts can get their ignorance on.

I don't understand your hatred, in a number of ways. I don't get why my comment upsets you, nor do I get why something anyone says out here is grounds for you to get so bent out of shape.

Aw, ain't that cute! Dasilodavi is talking to achewood like he's a real person or something!

I am so freakin' lost right now.

I think you've been around for awhile so I can't imagine that I really need to tell you this, but "old, female" plus "strips viewed: 162" equals "sock puppet account." It was funny to see you responding to the poster named achewood as though he were something other than that.

Or are you referring to something else?

I don't understand your racism, in a number of ways. I don't get why you'd use a compound of "white" and "nigger" on this website, nor do I get why you are dumb enough to not understand why this is a problem. Now go away.

People use "wigger" as a derogatory term because white kids who behave in a pantomime of the worst of the "black community" are quite possibly the worst of the "white community" (their only significant competition for that dishonor being lily-wristed Neuesprachepolizei ).

"New strip monday lolololol newfag!" Chris Onstad has ruined /b/

shut the fuck up and let the man do his thing.

g-glad...? Your speech impediment is cured?

Is's a MRICABL!

It wasn't a speech impediment. Those typically don't affect your typing.
Well, I suppose they can, if you got dropped on your WErnicke's area, but that just reminds me I have a final in three hours I am about to fail.

And thus the prophecy was fulfilled.
He curves very heavily, however.

Regardless, sje, you are radish.

Well, you failed magnificently here too, no curve given.

You mean I fail Assetbar in general?
