I think it's more awesome seeing Ray to be totally stupid about code language

I think it's more awesome seeing Ray burp his name.

I think it's more awesome that there's an implication he's been doing it since Beef left.

how do you figure?

Uh, it's Ray .

I think it's more awesome that RB was using code to get a sub order from his man

I thought that he was like "well now that you blew the code might as well get some sandwiches"

I come from the future to sat that i agree.

Agreed. He can't even bother to pay attention to his own personal crises.

Burp language is awesome.

Ray burps to the station logo tune for N.B.C.

Stage whispering stuff like this in public was one of my chief occupations when I was 12. That, and seeing how long I could carry a conversation conducted entirely in Simpson's quotes.

I'm not sure whether you're implying that you were cool or a loser, and I'm not sure what I'm inferring either.

I like to think that I was precociously talented at being a loser. Losers nowadays? Largely nonsense.

I used to like the losers, but now, not so much.

Maybe I change, maybe they change. Who knows?

chubbied for "largely nonsense." have I been up all night reading achewood instead of studying for finals? have I?

yes.

Is that Ray's phone call jacket? It seems to appear frequently when he's on the phone.

I think that's his martini-sippin' jacket.

Definitely phone jacket.

It is his phone jacket. This means that somehow, he can anticipate incoming calls, and put it on at least three panels ahead of time.

Ray always knows the Phrase That Pays...

Phone Jacket! PHONE JACKET! Oh god. It's totally true. Not every time. But most times. Onstad is doing this on purpose. I love it, but man Onstad is a broken boy.

"but man Onstad is a broken boy."

What does that even MEAN?

It means his brain operates in way that many would find "broken". All shooting off in random directions. Clothing his characters to denote activity.

I can't believe you dignified that with a response.

I'm not very dignified, so it's ok.

neither is ray. he burps his own name.

PS: i love Phone Jacket.

he was wearing the jacket before the phone rang

Ray has a sense about these such things.

How else would he have ready access to the cell stored within?

It seems that he was expecting a call, just not from Roeast Beef...

He was expecting KWIN 107.7- being able to burp his own name was probably the condition for the prize.

KWIN operates on the honor system, apparently.

I'm still laughing at "The station that gives gifts to the nation."

I am very tempted to produce a fake T-shirt for this station.

Oh, cafepress, what can't you do?

May I, perhaps, be of assistance?

[IMGS OFF]

In Seattle, the local alternative station is KNDD 107.7 The End.

The difference is that The End is not a station giving gifts to the nation. The End is a gift to no one.

That is very, very true. Unless, you know, you like bad music. Alternative bad music.

Bad music that is the alternative to good music.

I'm still wondering if Ray was burping phonetically or not. Is he burping "AR" "AY" "WHY" or "RR" "AY" "EE"?
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW.
