0 lames????

36 chubbies and 8 lames.

36 chubbies and 9 lames.

It's Asherdan. You're just obligated to.

Well, I used to think that way, and then I got to really know the content of Asherdan's posts and realised that he is actually less annoying or objectionable than around 90% of the other folk across this assetbar. So I started chubbing him instead.

Incidentally, the fact that you can still lame things clarifies something in my mind. I believe I will have to start over with a new account next time I archive-trawl... mostly on account NOT of the inability to lame, but the inability to vote on strips. Very annoying.

Asherdan's usually right. You read what he says, nod your head in agreement, then lame him. It's an Achewood AssetBar comment section tradition. It's a thing.

I exist to break such things.
The very fact that it was a tradition, and thus had become part of the metagame, made me realise that I had to break free from it.
If most folks do it and can't provide a good reason why they do it... chances are it is part of the metagame, and for the sake of retaining individuality, should be avoided.

WHAT IS GOING ON MAN. YOU ARE FINALLY ACCEPTED?!?!

Methinks the people who lamed this have issues.

Does onstad screenprint all the shirts himself too? That would be pretty sweet.

I think the screenprinting apparatus is for the posters, but I don't think he does the shirts. I could be wrong.

hell of tight screen printing, my prints always looked like crap, paint overflowing through the unblocked parts of the screen.

All too thick in one part and too thin in another. All emulsion getting ruined because there is light coming in under the bathroom door.

My attempts look like a gang of dudes with hayfever did a bukake scene in primary colors.

Chubbied for sheer descriptive power.

Anyone know what it's like to be vomiting and smiling at the same time?

I wish I didn't.

holy shit it worked

I would wear that on a shirt

I recall a mention somewhere (one of the blogs, the apparel shop, somewhere) of Cafe Press. At least at one point in time, he was using them.

They definitely aren't still CafePressed.

They have been screenprinted since at least 2004.

In the high school graphics class I took we used this way to print on shirts. It takes forever, the ink almost always goes in the wrong part even if you covered everything up thoroughly with duct tape and everything, and you ALWAYS messed up your first try and would have to buy another shirt.

So, the point of what I was saying is you can use it that way (as far as I knew from that one class) but mass producing shirts with it would be madness.

Hey!!!! I have a set of those glasses in the bottom right panel.

That glass, rather.

I love knowing that I use the same processes to screen print as onstad (also we use the same packing tape)


(I have little joy in my life)

WHOO TWO YEARS OF BLOGS SNATCHMONKEYS

Who are you calling a...

Nevermind. Comment acknowledged and accepted as truth. Another chubby for your efforts.

Nobody snatches MY monkey!

I don't think that is what is meant by "snatchmonkey". At least not in my perverted mind.

I will gladly give out prizes to whoever comes up with the best True Meaning of the phrase "snatchmonkey."

Snatchmonkey, n. A small primate that inhabits a snatch.

Snatchmonkey, n. A small kleptomaniacal primate often given to scurrying up the skirts of the native women in the jungled areas of Tophropan who are renowned for their elaborate vaginal ornamentation.

Snatchmonkey - unplanned baby resulting from a night of drunken jungle loving.

Fuck-trophy: baby resulting from an intentional, planned pregnancy.

Outstanding definitions; too bad these are down at the bottom of the thread. They haven't gotten enough love.

This is no thread, at 26 posts. You should see some on the 800-class threads.

I call all babies "fuck-trophies". Or crotch droppings. Or rug monkeys. So why NOT call babies "snatchmonkey"? Brilliant.

Snatchmonkey is a fella I know, hangs out down by the newspaper hutch and the Cho Wun deli, standing underneath the faded green awning trying to sell secondhand cell phones and chewing gum to anyone that walks by. He holes up down the alley in a cardboard shanty with Gyppo Fran (I know she ain't no gypsy, she's an Akron girl really) and they can whistle a tune that'll echo around in the empty parts of you and make the morning a little sweeter, but only a little.

I think I would actually be interested in reading the book Ray talks about in this entry. If only it were real.
