you should be

I am.

Okay then.

Gravity Train = Chocolate Rain?

Gravity Train = Chocolate Rain?

IT NEEDS TO BE SAID TWICE

IT NEEDS TO BE ALL CAPS!

IT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED!

IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN

Some got on the Mayor!

Not the Mayor!

OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!

Is it terrible that I laughed?
Because I did.

it is good that beef has best practices for dealing with internet scammers. first things first: wiki. he is a thorough kind of a man.

Oh man, Ray is soaking up the guilt there in the last panel. Like a sponge.

But even if he wrote the song Gravity Train (which is an awesome song title), why did he use it as the subject line in his original e-mail? That had nothing to do with the song.

Maybe he thinks that music is the only way to grab the attention of the youth of today?

Maybe gravity train, being a song he wrote, sums up well the thing that he needs to contact Ray about. Like the rather disappointing email I got from Jermaine Stewart.

I think the Brian Wheat proof was an .exe that played the song. That could have been it.

Interesting, though he still would need to prove his name was Brian Wheat, so the .exe probably DID do that (though why you need an .exe for that is strange)

I don't know why you're getting so many lames, a trojan was my first guess too.

because that was the joke

you thought it was a trojan

but it was not a trojan, after all

this... is... comedy

The email was legit; why would he attach a trojan?

You should never be afraid of opening .exe files in your email, as long as the message looks legit.

"on a christian dare." it's the small things that are hilarious

If you do not accept a Christian dare, you are sent to the 8th circle of hell.

Christian Dare: devil-may-care Evangelist.

Jesus Christ died for our sins on a Christian dare

The whole arc comes crashing together brilliantly

I have yet to change my name on a Christian dare, when every other devout, deeply sensitive Christian has :(

This is a right of passage. You are not considered an adult member of the Church in good standing until you have accepted the Christian Dare. (Ezek. 15:12)

Paul's original name was Saul. Ezekiel still refuses to answer my phone calls in re that question.

Ezekiel pick up the phone, Lawdy-Lawd,
Got a sinner on the other end-
[Have Mercy!]

I keep waiting for citations to appear in this strip.

I originally thought the wiki page was of Leon's own design, to give his story some credence if any enterprising suckers were to look him up. After all, if it's on wikipedia, it must be true.

Rays senses be right on. He knew it was a hit song from the get go.

Onstad: The bacon will be here today - 3/14/2007

A question, at this juncture. Is it a Thing that Gravity is a jokey term for Gravy? Or is that just in my family? I guess it is pretty arrogant to think it is only a saying in my family.

I've never heard that expression. So it's probably just something your family made up.
Look at you, putting on such airs! You are so ARROGANT!!

I guess it is pretty arrogant of me to assume that just because I haven't heard that expression that it doesn't exist.
We are a couple of sorry ass dudes, kickstart.

I always worry that this will happen to me.

ACCIDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT

Dang old government's always havin' accidents

oh god plesae don't tell me ray drinks stella artois. Talk about a woman's beer.

please*

You name a crisper beer and I'll eat my foot.

Lord I'm rollin' along on that Gravty Train/
She loaded with sorrows and loaded with pain/
No more spring in these steps no more wind in these sails/
Just this heavy old train on these rusted old rails/
