Since we're on the subject of sheep in Wales, I figured this would be appropriate!

It's cool of them to host their show directly in front of a Stargate. I bet they get some cool guests through there.

Or is that the Eye of Sauron? Sorry Brits, we Americans are so ethnocentric about the foreign media.

ray thinks sanders wants to fuck a sheep that looks like ray in a nagel model poncho.

Sanders: I'm not into sheep wearing lipstick.

Ray: Yet that is exactly what I see here.

The possibility of pimping sheep dyed in tacky 20th century prints to welsh men from the 17th century has to be somewhere in the back of ray's enterprising mind. LN ain't the only marketeer on the block.

I can't believe you would mock QI. Do you not realise that the season's winner becomes our head of state? Also it is hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and that 'Eye of Sauron' is actually a display case containing Nelson's skull. You've basically just pissed all over all Britain's most cherished cultural institutions at once.

He's an American, what did you expect? Tactfulness and respect?

Tact is for faggots

And then you bitch when we say we hate you.

we?

Oui.

..wee?

Wii.

Did I hear someone say Wiiaboo?

Hehe, wiitards.

And unbewiivers.

No, no, no, plummet-the correct spelling is "fagets", but usu. is singular, e.g., "u r faget lol". Please make a note of it.

Like Saget!

What about the contraction 'fgt'? Is it acceptable to use on occasion?

I would say no, since it's possible that someone could believe from your use of it that you knew how to spell it correctly, but chose to contract it. Better to make sure that everyone knows for sure that you spell like a functional illiterate.

Will you children please just go home? Preferably to your rooms, maybe by an open window, possibly on a second or third story. Don't ask why.

I'll agree to that if you'll agree to study closely the concept of irony.

No, you'll agree to that with no conditions because I don't want to see my precious assetbar soiled by the same humdrum shenanigans that have soiled every other bastion of rectitude to ever be present on the world wide webbernet.

I have some bad news for you, pal.

That ship, as they say, sailed a long, long, time ago. And my comments, at least, were ironic. So perhaps you should look for some new source of outrage. Unless your condemnation of this "thread" is itself an ironic comment on reflexive response, in which case well done.

Stephen Fry and Bill Bailey? I'm not certain I can properly handle this.

Thanks for the reference, courtland. I hope that show is carried on BBC America.

Dang-it isn't.

Dogg you gotta purchase them, only like $60 for A-C.
At least, that's what I'm afraid I'll have to shell out in the near future.

1. This is so not a triple-wide.

2. "Sandmaster Flash" is excellent.

Agreed. 5 tiers is hardly beyond standard issue.

Could have been worse:

NO. BAD.

Off-Off Broadway.

NO. THIS is BAD:

Yowza.

Is that a banana in your thong or are you just happy to see me?

Man. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that .

Jeff, you're a sick fuck. I noticed that Phillipe's genital contour gets larger once he has removed the banana.

There's a simple explanation:

And what manner of man are you - looking at an underage otters underpants?

Maybe he's into otter-erotica.

Otrotica?

erotterca.

That can lead to tragedy (in the case of otter-erotic asphyxiation).

Otter-erotic asphyxiation is what took out David Carradine.

Pretty sure that was ninjas. not otters.

A comment left by mensch was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by mercuri0us, JeffSpaulding, skiddysmith)

Will the special spam-enabled people please address this? I don't want to see no dead people.

Poster agrees! I wish I could delete it.

Seems TinyPic censors took care of that.


What manner of man are you that can summon up ninja otters without flint or tinder?

There are some who call me...



...Tim?

First Holy Grail reference I've made since I was 15. I'm proud of myself. I hear poorly executed references way too often.

Pretty well done. but by doing a Monty Python Reference thousands will come min the next few days

( also i know about the one on the Knight of Ni a few strip back, but it was badly done IMO)

I heartily hope not, unless they're good, not overplayed references. I wouldn't mind a non-forced reference to wanting someone's liver, or cannibalistic sailors, or someone and their fishy requisit-t-t-t-te.

Can't hardly look at Holy Grail ever the same once the "cool kids" discovered it. Amazingly, these people who abuse Holy Grail relentlessly ignore the broader spectrum of Monty Python's work.

And then there's the time that I, ignorant of PBS's editing, played the naughty chemist sketch in my store and treated a bunch of kids to a view of boobies.

I'm not proud.

Me: "Do you know Monty Python?"
Kid: "Yeah, that movie's great!"
Me: ::vomits acidic bile into his face::

I hate being self-righteous about things like that but I mean, jesus, I was in German last semester and a 22 year old graduating senior was quoting the Knights of Ni scene, very poorly, like he had Discovered this Lost Movie and was doing the class a service, and apparently the girl next to him found it funnier than anything ever created. Maybe it's because when I was 14 I watched that movie way too much and then outgrew the stage where all I myself did was quote it, but it just bothers me when some kid I know at school or anywhere will be like "Yo you ever heard of Monty Python and the Holy Grail." YES I HAVE. EVERYONE HAS. FIND SOMETHING NEW.

Sorry I'm a dick about What's Alright To Do. I expect lames and I don't deny that I deserve them.

No really you are right.

wolfensti agrees that you are right about expecting and deserving lames. I think wolfensti is kind of a dick for going out of his way to say this.

I blame television.

I was afraid of that.

You could say he has otter fixation. And thus, the well of otter related puns has dried up.

It's an otter shame.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A SEAT


It's not removed, it's just tucked deeper. I assume. I hope.

No. Ray has the banana.

Didn't even notice that. Alright for powers of observation.

You would have no money because it is not a common phrase?

He'd give the dollar right back to the speaker because it is a great if not underutilized phrase.

Presumably Rod makes more than a dollar every time he hears that. Do you not remember the iconic banana scene in Picnic Party XLVII?

"Naw, I ain't got no [banana.] Aw no! No, that's a hard-on. That's cause o' you. You gave that to me."

Quote:

"Time we sucker-punched his ticket home" is not bad either.

Yeah, but it's harder for me to use that out in the real world. Whereas if I meet a non-Achewood reader named Sanders, I'll have like six awesome nicknames for him.

Even better is "We got a major benefit in that I ain't give a damn about any of that."

Doggs I think it is safe to say that this strip is perhaps not platinum, but it is gold.

Yes.

Comment/avatar dissonance.

In the days of Beef Yelling At The Chicken, I may have had the opposite declared for me.

Synchonicity is overrated.

Agreed. Outlandos d'Amour is definitely the superior album.

Umm, Zenyatta Mondata ?

hbaranov threw that one underhanded.

Slow-pitchin' against Ted Williams.

It is. I retract most of my comments from the last strip. This is more like it. The soothing waves of Onstad's word grandmastery wash over me like Welsh water over wet, contented rocks. Carry on.

Sometimes I think lately he's trying too hard with the dialogue. This strip is mostly just people talking using funny words--and lots of them. I think the last two panels are what makes the strip, and they don't have any words at all.


Now are you afear'd o' the Welsh?

BAAAAAD...TIIIIIIITS!

She had great tits.

She was a normal looking woman earlier, but that Welsh flag was hecho en mexico .

iQue lastima!


I agree, salvar.

The only thing triple-wide about this strip is the Zildjian on that fine ewe's head.

It is funny, however, and I am not complaining about the dimensions my free entertainment takes.

The place was really jumpin' to the Hiwatt amps/ till a 20" cymbal fell and cut the lamps.

I quote this because I guess 20" is a big cymbal and it's a damn fine song to quote, generally.

This strip is a... four? In all truth I think the numerical value goes downwards from the middle of the standard horizontal five points, then away from us in three-dimensional space. A cube featuring Roast Beef's face as he contemplates a Tetris piece in the shape of the direction this strip went from start to finish.

No, the value goes up when you see that Onstad went for delayed gratification, taking all kinds of low ratings on the previous strip to set up the punchline for this one.

Yes. YES.

What we have here is a case where THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WORDS FOR THE LAST PANEL. I have not ever, ever went fanboy over a strip, even after I've been through the entire archive twice.

This...I don't even know how far back this was planned, but this last panel is more than the sum of its parts. It takes knowing the entirety of Ray's character, all of Iorwerth's character, Mexican Magical Realism, 16th Century Wales...

And where did the sheep get the hat!

SPLUT!

....and then, after recapitulating the sentiment of a preceding post, he killed himself with a USB device which can collect votes from the Internet and drive a knife through one's heart. Very sad.

it takes 'knowing the entirety of their characters' for a joke about the welsh fucking sheep?


Raising the bar isn't a matter of what it takes . That is to say, it isn't about what you have to put in... it's what you can put in.

I'm in between. Yeah, it's a sheep fucking joke, but it's a really good one. Both of their faces say a lot.

Jeez, dude, chill out. It's not that funny.

It still makes me laugh probably a bit too much, but upon further reading, you are right. It's still getting a five from me, but the near-hallucinatory effects of sixteen hour graveyard shifts, insomnia, and barometric shenanigans created a perfect storm of influence (in my brain) at the wrong time.

I'm just glad it was this strip I ended up wandering into, and not the Charles Manson guest strip.

But if you rate this a five you are saying that it is the best an achewood strip can be. And there are so many achewood strips that blow this one out of the water. Oh hell I give up with you people.

I think it was merely a reaction to the poor quality of other recent strips that allowed a three to come easily to my hand. Now I question it. Is it still a two, but I am lightened by the previous parade of terrors?

I think it was merely a reaction to the poor quality of other recent strips that allowed a three to come easily to my hand. Now I question it. Is it still a two, but I am lightened by the previous parade of terrors?

a parade of terrors? Most are.


The problem is with such a large sample size that five different classifications are hardly enough for a strip. A 3.5-leaning 4 and a 4.4999-leaning 4 are way different from each other in quality. If you only give those best-it-can-be strips fives, how many are you essentially banishing to the shades of ever-increasing and ever-improving mediocrity?


OOHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIT!

If you rate everything 5, the scale becomes worthless. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS RENDERED WORTHLESS I TELL YOU .

I'll let you in on a secret - the statistical mode for most strips I rate is about a two. Obviously, this is intra-Achewood rating, rather than compared to external sources.

But Dayam, if you don't give a strip that has you on the floor giggling like a toddler on ether a Five, then the ratings themselves are meaningless.

aperson is insisting that you have a fatal opinion error

I rate like this:
5: Has me giggling like a toddler (it does not matter if the strip is Smart or Pleasant -- the one about 'five minutes in the bathroom with' some catalog is a 5 in my world and BECAUSE IT IS FUNNEE TO MEE)
4: Brief audible laughter
3: A smile
2: Does not affect me, but is not technically flawed
1: Is not funny and has a bad premise (for example, I find the one about Google's logo dry as overdone turkey; Google's logo is excellent.)

YOUR 5 IS TOO NARROW

(bet you've heard that before)

long and thin; too far in. short and thick; does the trick

Including the sheep worked, but I don't think it was necessary to set it up in advance. If anything it makes me think that Onstad threw it in as a last-minute, end of the strip joke as a concession to how poorly received the previous strip was and how the sheep was generally considered the best part. So he goes for an easy joke.

I was thinking that perhaps he had been stalling for time so this would be exactly a year later, but no. Young Charley was KOODGEd on July 25. He is still well away from the exact date.

This was a bit better, but yeah, some of the dialogue seems forced. Onstad has shown us that he still has it with plenty of strips fairly recently, but when he gets stuck in these arcs he doesn't seem to be able to keep the idea going well or then pull out of it gracefully with a proper resolution. It becomes obvious that he's just making it up as he goes along and rehashing ideas or inflating weak concepts to get by at times.

I think it's the arc format. It encourages laziness and forces him to think about story a bit too much. It's one thing to have a short series of strips planned out because they'll take too long for one strip, but the very long ones like this should probably get their own KOODGE. Wales might be able to handle them in a way we cannot.

I like the arcs. It takes an arc to explain the depth of Beef's sadness. Mexican Magical Realism couldn't have been explained in a series of unrelated strips either.

Some arcs know where they're going. Lately it seems like this hasn't been the case so much. Even the Mexican Magical Realism arc, which seemed at least partially plotted once we started heading down to Mexico, had a bit of slack. Plus, well, that was a rich and varied series of strips that explored Beef looking chunkity, Pat coming out, the curse, Benjamin Butters, and the trip to Mexico. It wasn't just people standing in a field talking about stuff that hasn't yet been invented in Wales.

True, this arc is mostly about bringing LN back and sheep jokes, but we get a glimpse of LN's true talents. Playing "Japanese man" and selling fake memorabilia to Ray on eBay hinted at possibilities, but I think we've all seen that our adolescent wearing separate jean legs (perhaps a stroke of genius in itself) is beginning to grow up.

He's even being referred to as "Charley" instead of "Little Nephew". What we are seeing is the teenage life of a future member of The Syndicate.

Chubby for an accidental glimpse at Dystopia!

Onstad's shown a capacity for just jumping out of arcs and leaving loose ends, as well as for stringing one arc onto another onto another onto another. I wish he'd do one or the other here, instead of staying bogged down in Wales. But the Nagel sheep is pretty funny.

chubbied cuz it made me feel stoned

this ain't acheweed, bro

ace-etbar?

If we're good, and we behave, we may get to see petulant Padrig perform poetry.

Onstad seems to be getting the hang of these longer strips.

They do plod a lot less than many recent plus-sized strips, yes.

Isn't there a strip where Beef gives the exact same look that Ray is giving in the last panel? So much disapproval...

Spy-Ware?


I'm going to be that guy . Beef doesn't look that dissapointed here. It's more Ray's 5 year old been caught stealing cookies face that makes it.

Oh, and Beef on Ray body. Terrifying. You are evoking Manflesh and you know it.

Considering Ray's diet, I think this is more anatomically accurate. Beef...maybe less so.

Yes! I think you're right. But this is bugging the crap out of me...when was that one?

It is from 04/29/2004 .

The heads above were taken from that strip.

You are my hero, sir.

Osteoporosis?

I am definitely adding "Unbidden Mittens" to the list of Awesome Band Names.

Dog Shit Nasty and the Unbidden Mittens.

"That's chick big ass is giving me all kinds of unbidden mittens." I think I could make that work.

These mittens are making me Happen to myself.

We have reached a certain point in our cultural development where any combination of words which the mind cannot readily attach meaning to is assumed to be the name of a band.

Best comment ever.

"Best Comment Ever" is a good band name.

""""is" is a" is a good" is a good band" is a good band name.

No one will ever convince me the two best possible unused band names left are:

The Pixellated Seagulls

or

The Pre-Recorded Melodies of the Flying Marlins

perhaps i will by suggesting that they are both terrible

I am unconvinced.

Quote:
""""is" is a" is a good" is a good band" is a good band name.

Aha! A fourth-order derivative inside-bandnames comment.

I prefer to think of it as reaching a point in our cultural development where beautifully bizarre phrases that roll trippingly from the tongue are seen as great band names.

Well I prefer to see it as a point in our civilization at which, thanks in part to an educational system which would rather preach about sharing and the true meaning of Chinese New-Year , our language has been rent in large to utter nonsense. Even worse than a public school teacher, is a journalist, and the only thing worse than a journalist, is a popular musical act. I fear, at this stage, that I shall never see the word decimate used properly again...

Quote:
I Fear ... I shall never see the word decimate used properly again


What about if I drink half of a fifth?


Then, well, I suppose you will have decimated whatever imaginary liter the fifth has come from.

I suppose altogether, though, the linguistic oddity of drinking half of something yet imagining that you are drinking one-tenth of some larger quantity is more pleasant than, say, murdering 9 out of every 10 people you run into on the street.

Unless, of course, this mythical fifth of which you speak is Midori, in which case it might better suit you to straight up kill those folks, 'cause that shit is just not meant for human consumption.

But isn't it killing one out of every ten people? But the issue is moot anyway. Wozzeck is committing the etymological fallacy.
But speaking of baby otters: https://fuckyoupenguin.blogspot.com/2009/06/desperate-otters-turn-to-cute-based.html
On the other hand,

Decimate can mean killing one in ten people but it can also mean destroying a large group of anything (eg - the harvest was decimated by a plague of locusts).

Well, I am willing to agree that this is correct, but as far as I'm concerned, if there were any justice in this world, the word decimate would mean 'reduce something to 1/10th its original size/strength/etc' and I say fie on the English language for its brashness.

On behalf of English speakers everywhere, allow me to apologize for the language not remaining stagnant from the time you learned it until you die.

I don't think that's the case exactly. It's simply being used metaphorically, not literally.

Also, philophobe was wrong. It would mean "reduce something by 1/10th", not to.

Yeah philophobe was presumably objecting to the archaic (as you could call it) definition, and tripperday just assumed philophobe was being a stick-in-the-mud and gave the stock "hey man, get with the times" response. Confusion reigns!

He was embracing the archaic definition, not objecting to it. (Then he got the definition wrong) It wasn't "get with the times", it was "It's called language and it's been this way forever."

He said "fie on the English language for its brashness" fer chrissakes.

Also, learn the difference between "assume" and "presume". Unless you have evidence that philophobe was objecting to the archaic definition, it is you who have assumed incorrectly.

Nope, but too boring to argue about.

Belgand, I do realize that I was incorrect (though see below on my thoughts about Wikipedia, etc., and preferring to be wrong due to my own cognitive process than right because I 'looked it up'...) in my original statement about what the word 'decimate' means, as well as what a fifth is. What I keep thinking, though, is that the word 'decimate' would make more sense if it meant 'reduce to 1/10th' rather than 'reduce by 1/10th'. The suffix of the word (whether we think it's 'ate' or 'mate') seems to me to generally mean 'to make into something' (thus, 'animate' as making into liveliness or animal-ness or whatever you like, 'validate' as making valid, etc.), so adding the prefix deci- to that seems logically to suggest that one is making something into a tenth of itself. Plus, it seems to me that if we want the term to sound really impressive in terms of military endeavors and so forth, using it 'correctly' (that is, correctly for how I want the language to work) we would talk about 90% casualties as a 'decimation' rather than 10%. Retains much more visceral impact, if'n you ask me.

But anyway, I'm just completely going off the linguistic handle here, and I am fully prepared to pull out my umbrella of feigned unwoundable-pride-liness to defend against a completely warranted hail of lames.

I'm actually not trying to be all down on the English language, in general. Although if anyone read recently about that bullshit guy who was trying to say he had officially figured out the one millionth word in the English language, but it turns out that the word was some abomination like 'Web 2.0' or some shit, plus just about every 'respected' source of linguistic authority has basically called this guy a douchebag in more diplomatic terms - I ain't hearing any of that noise.

Plus, let's remember German, in which apparently it's all well and good to just smash as many damn words together as you please and call it a new word. No wonder Nietzsche loved that shit.

Thanks for visiting Pedants Anonymous, where the first step to admitting you have a problem is willingness to force everyone else to admit that they have problems.

Well, I didn't have to look it up. That sort of thing is what I'd consider to be common knowledge.

Two, trying to make it sound more impressive is missing the point and historical origins. Which you'd think would matter when you're trying to be pedantic.

Three, it's not even really English if you want to get down to it. It's from the Latin decimatio . Sure, we've adapted it slightly, but we're still using basically the same word for the same meaning.

Just to be clear, the 'looking it up' dig was not actually directed at you.

I still maintain, though, that even taking the word from its Latinate construction, I intuitively want it to mean '...to' not '...by.' Perhaps I'm an idealistic pedant, then.

OK we've dealt with decimate. Can we now process my personal obsession, 'begging the question'?

Your point is mute. But many kudos to you for raising it.

I still say: as language evolves, what we loose is less then what we gain.

Quote:
what we loose

Ooops, the grammarian's self-pimp is showing. Don't lose your composure.

Tsk. You missed the deliberate 'then'.

Then, than, ching, chong

I think you mean moot. And while we're on this pedantic tangent: I dislike when people say something is "moot" when they mean to say "academic."

Or 'esoteric' when they mean 'I don't get it.'

more people need to get down with exoteric, in my opinion

Everybody get down to the exo-teric yeah!

Keep reading that sentence til it sounds like a hip-hop line, hella good syllabic bounce. Also, everyone gets down to the exoteric by definition. Pedantic Hip Hop.

I presumed it was an intentional error. Much like the misspelling of "lose" in the next comment.

v-kudo

Correct, but I dont have any kudos left to give you jeff.

Are you trying to be an exception that proves the rule?

I literally kills me when people use that phrase.

Sorry two here of you're passing.

Your grief is very unique.

Well, at least you only have to worry about it happening once.

So a fifth is a fifth of a liter? I kept on asking my friends to explain what a fifth was to me! They said "shut up, it's just a fifth." "Of what? Of what?" I cried. "Shut up and drink your liquor, bitch!" they snarled.

It is indeed. Which is all well and good, I suppose, since 'fifth' rolls off the tongue much more smoothly than 'two hundred milliliter bottle filled with some spirit, likely of ill repute and hostile effect.'

I believed it was a fifth of a quart, since the term dates from before america encounted the beauty of the metric system.
Now I know better.

After all, 200ml is not a lot of fine brown liquor

encountered!!!!

litre anyone? liter sounds like something a footrot flats character would use to ignite their cigarette.

You wouldn't want to take a pull from your "two hundo"? I suspect that this term has plenty of traction even if, as is revealed by granularsilica, it is not even correct.

In this context, however, a five hundo problem is likely to indeed be a deep condition that necessitates that degree of alcoholic imbication.

No one Wiki's this?
"A common term in the U.S. for 750mL (25.36oz) of hard liquor, approximately one fifth of a U.S. gallon."
Pass it on.

Verbing weirds language.

Goddammit. No wonder I got drunk so easily in the US.

My attitude toward using Wikipedia to verify statements that I am about to make is about what I imagine Ramses Luther Smuckles' attitude would be:

"If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but goddamn if I let any fool lightning box tell me so. Sometimes reality needs an uppercut to the junk delivered by the fists of common sense."

Socrates had his examined life; Ramses has his punchin' life.

I figured this out on my own not long after I could purchase liquor.

So what happens to the 30mL left over when you split a gallon into fifths?



That goes to me .

People get sort of sloppy when pouring large quantities of liquor, I guess.

Poor that one out for da homies.

Just to irritate everyone a little more, where I come from a fifth is a fifth of a gill - an on-the-small-size measure of spirits that you'd get if you were to go into a bar and order such as a vodka.

that is approximately 8 Lbs of liquor.

holy shit is my math ever wrong. someone shoot me.

In fact, the only time recently I have had occassion to use the word decimate was a few years back when I told a couple of bar aquaintances that my salary had been decimated. They assumed I meant it had been deeply cut, and I had to spend 10 minutes explaining that I had lost exactly 10% of my salary. I am a dick about terms to people at bars intentionally. Is this an unforgivable sin?

I would recommend that that is a necessary sin, as being a dick about terms is all people do when they get slanted.

Language changes. Deal with it.

Yes, let us please be reasonable and save such hyperbole for quadruple LP concept albums about wizened cattle and dragons with gingerbread wings and desperate searches for magical soup tureens fabled to possess the recuperative powers equal to 100 vaguely haunted butter dishes.

We shall call it, 'Lo! The Delicatessen's Reverie.'

That was Crimson, right? Great fuckin' album. Though the part intended to be listened to while your head is submerged in a bucket felt like they had a great concept and tone, but didn't quite know where to go with it.

A Certain Point in Our Cultural Development would be a good band name.

They will be from Montreal. Shortly before the release of their debut album (Pitchfork rating: 8.2), but after the internet-only release of their obscure 5-track EP, they will be on the cover of Paste . They will not receive a Rolling Stone feature until five years later, after the release of their third album at which fans sneer because it is distributed by a major label.

One of the members will wear sunglasses too large for his/her head at all times.

Poseur. I was a fan of them since SpicyPonyHead's first comment about "Unbidden Mittens" which, if you were a true fan you'd know, brought Qrysten into contact with Sebastian.

Iorwerth looks like a nightmare karate kid in the penultimate panel.

His expression becomes a bit Sheepish .


Girls be knittin' unbidden mittens, all day, through Mittagessen, even.

Correct. I wanna cum.

I beat you to it.

All over the mittens.

"She knit more than a few mittens in her day" is the 1600s equivalent of calling someone a "jumbo hole."

Hmm... so does hole refer specifically to the degree of slack in the hole itself? I was thinking perhaps it might refer to the nature of the owner of said "hole". Or, for that matter, not necessarily being quite so literal about it and, not considering even the degree to which it might lose tone, simply a term to express the large degree of suitors who had enjoyed said hole's company.

In high school I knew a lady who produced so many scarves that she emitted audible creaking.

When you let the hole define you, that is when someone calls you a jumbo hole.

Although hilarious, this is sage. Really. I can't think of a better way to describe the term "Slut", or the less common "Manwhore".

for me, the term whore has nothing to do with whether someones personal plumbing is interior or exterior.

I'm glad you have generalised the word Whore, the de-sexing of insults will have sexy advantages for all.

with my definition even asexuals can be whores.

What about nihilists?

Well of course they believe in nossing so they don't believe in their own sexuality.

All, "AH-AH-AH-OH MY NOTHING!"

As opposed to mimed creaking?


Oh, right. You're from S.F.

Advanced Pleasure Machinery sounds like a Daft Punk song.

Old dude wishes for a sexy sheep and Ray is PISSED.

So..

Does making a wish while wearing a magic poncho explain the origins of Charley Smuckles, or is the title of this strip a lie ?

I admittedly have yet to work out what exactly the title is referring to.

Me too, but I thought of this: if Charlie is in the 1600s, then that is before he was born, so it is, like, his origin. Time travel, man. Shit's complicated.

No, the origin story is what Reese imparts to Ray about Sanders' finding LN amongst the owls.

The owls are not what they seem.

Whoo?

Oh. Ya. But still, man, the oddities of time travel. Crazy shit.

Are you onesuchbrett's friend Matty? From PA?

Can't say as I am. I'm in MO by way of OH, .esp, IL, IA, & MN.

Ray thinks that Iorwerth wished for a sheep with much feminine style, but he does not realize that the Nagel is powerless without the tag. The result is a hilarious glare of an accusatory tone, which is met by the bewilderment Peter Townshend felt when he found out his computer didn't get all the kiddie porn away.

Ray forgot that he was lying about the wishes.

He wasn't lying, he just didn't realise the exact source of the Mexican Magic that propelled him backwards through time.

Incidentally, as I don't believe this has been mentioned since Ray was introduced to the storyline, I guess it's now been confirmed that they are indeed in the past as opposed to Heaven-Wales, which is good as that's a total oxymoron right there. So how come Iowerth shot Little Nephew at the end of the wedding arc?

man's gotta have a hobby, i_love_kate

What you never saw Dallas? Shit was a dream!

This bothered me as well.

Slightly worse is that Mexican Magical Realist objects not only have transferable properties based on the "Hecho en Mexico" tag, but are somehow also apparently conduits for wishes? That is not how they work! Basically every previous product acted with absolutely no regard for the feelings of its user, typically being used as a device to explore feelings and teach the owners more about themselves. It's not a fucking magic lamp.

Have any of you ever read science fiction?

Iowerth shot Little Nephew at the end of the wedding arc because that is a method of traveling to seventeenth century Wales in the Achewood universe .

The gun ceased to exist during the seventeenth century, so when someone is shot with it, the requirements of causality thrust that person into the past.

It's an issue of consistent internal logic. An issue of great concern to many sci-fi fans.

Well fuck them.

Thank God! Somebody's going to fuck me!

NO

>Look West

>There is an Assetbarbarian.

>Bugger that Assetbarbarian

>That Assetbarbarian is Raging_Cow.

Or he will be afterwards, anyway.

chubbied cuz it made no sense

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*gasp*
Mooooo.

If this were the same sheep as in the previous strip, Ray and Iorwerth may be incorrect as to their perceived method of the workings of the serape.

Are you implying that a sheep wouldn't wish to get all sexy, wide-brimmed style?

belgand have u read the secret

Onstad has finally jumped the sheep.

He swears he was just trying to push the sheep through the fence.

V is for Virtual, the chubby I give to you.

Naw man, his dog went berserk and did that, so he had to shoot it.

So I am just trying to deal with these sheep that are so small that housecats find them attractive. Like, where do they come from? And why are they so small? How did that happen? Wishes from the serape zone?

Mexican magical realism: The ultimate plot device.

Deus ex machina of the wackiest caliber.

I forget who did this, but I am not the first.

Correction: Deus Ex Mexicana

WHAT!?

The cats haven't really been actual housecat size in basically forever. With the only exceptions being when Onstad is in the strip which also never really happens that often these days.

They're basically just people living in a people world that is somehow populated almost entirely with cats and occasionally other animals. But since the rise of the cats mainly just them.

I mean, he has a background reason why they are the way they are, but since it doesn't really suit his later form of storytelling it's kind of been ignored. It's not like he went into this trying to be a furry or something... unless that's his turbo secret.

Agreed. There is no need for the cats to get around in "shells" any more. Were they called shells? I don't even think there is an underground any more.

Actually, they were called hulls .

The rest of us are trying to forget about the existence of Hull as well.

Belgand's feelings on Yorkshire are: Con

You guys, the now-magical sheep is morphing to resemble the lady on its Nagel fleece. THE RECURSIVE HORROR!

how exactly is this a triple wide? can someone break it down for me?

it's three panels wide, kinda lame actually

o dang i just read it; it is pretty funny even if i dont understand the triple wide aspect

You leapt onto AssetBar to bitch before even reading the strip? I commend your enthusiasm! Or should that be un thusiasm?

nice, onstad's new strip coming line says 'doublewide with a foundation'. that's what this is - 5 rows, the first being the foundation. onstad, i'm so proud of you!

Nice hat.



Livin' with the owls.

FUCK YOU ABBREVIATIONS

For once, I think these owls are exactly what they seem.

did you join assetbar specifically to reply to this comment?!

oops, i mistook just posted for just joined, how vain

[img]https://www.lucid-tv.com/075.jpg]

Perhaps too late, with the delay and all. But seriously, come on.

Oh for God's sake.



I post for the first time in months and you do this shit to me. You're a bitter, evil bitch, Assetbar. I take you in for a booty call, we're both winning out of the situation, but you have to keep insulting my pecker and bringing up old wounds, calling my mother a slut and my father inbred just before I start to come and then you kick me off so that I can't get any kind of chemical resolve without jacking off by myself because you sure as fuck aren't gonna help, and you just sit there and laugh at me and call me pathetic, giving me a look of disgust and disdain so that it burns into my head as I climax, because you know I'm too damn weak to go the proud route.

Fuck you, Assetbar. There was no need for that.

TLDR VERSION OF THE ABOVE POST:

ASSETBAR!!!!!

Good to have you back Doc

Oh come now, we all know that is precisely the reason you keep going back to her.

Horrible alien nightmare creatures which have taken on a rough owl camouflage in an attempt to disguise their non-Euclidean geometries.

Its how it hoicks that dead at down it's gullet. Now I know where vore came from.

It's not a dead at! It looks to me like it might be a dead in, or an on.

Prepositions get stuck in my throat.

I agree with you. It is clear that these are not real owls, just a general approximation. Those feet are not owl feet. We must destroy them. If the creatures fear fire, we may have a chance. If not, then may God have mercy on us all.

i find the one choking down the rat/mouse/vole absolutely hilarious, and reminiscent of a roommate i once had

I am going to eat this GODDAMNED vole even though it's half my size AND NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME

owl at the right: that's cool

their massive feet like talons/claws/legs really put me over the edge

thas discustin' man truely discusting y do that y upload this gif?

The one in the back is laying down some serious rap. All they need is a soundtrack and you'd be all over that shit.

dang dude i aint got the hard posting skills like you, i gotta get chubbies by posting imagery and other high tech blabbery

yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah...

o god o god o god AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH no no no NO

It's almost like a clockwork!

I can't get over how each owl is horrifying in its own unique way. They're like 4 bad dancers on a talent show each trying to get the attention of the judges.

It gets better when you listen to "Powerhouse" while watching it. That is, the well-known 'B' section (about 1:25 in on the link there).

Whoa. That reminds me of prom.

What school did you go to?

We're owl exterminators.

yyeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss

My second favourite Igner line in that film, after the beautifully timed " We both ated the crissles! "

When you anounce these things you are meant to start with "Good news everybody..."

two three four

one zero zero zero zero zero one

65 ?

Owls, In my assetbar? And I thought I was the only one who linked people to those owls.

Quick, someone 'shop an "Owls, in my assetbar? It's more likely than you might think."

Always willing to oblige a lady. Please don't fail me, image thingie!



Oh! That is truly the limit.

Centipedes?

You don't know the Chans and ED , don't you?

Are you asking if I do or I don't?

Both sides are okay with me.

I've heard that about you

Hur hur hur... sorry.

Thank you.

Yer welcome!

jesus this scares me. especially the two that just look right at you and shake their heads.

In 1676 good men such as Anton van Leeuwenhoek and Ole Romer had created good lives for themselves

I am about to suggest that my friend tuck his genitals into a Nagel-themed sheep

Keep on rockin' Chris Onstad

too slow, nathan, too slow.

Gasp!

hi thegoblins. I approve of you you seem funny and witty. I've even gotten used to your piexelated grin. Where are you it would be nice to meet and have coffee some time

Why, thank ya, fellow. We seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot earlier! I live in many places. I am a creature of the wind.

oh werewolf we on mauvais pied I didn't think you could have been too terribly jesus cross at me well although I was being an republican somewhat depending on interpretive perspective. Creature of the wind huh so yet another assetbar member shrouded in mystique. oh but how I love a mystery. perhaps I can psychically flush you out... okay here goes.... mmmmmmmhamaaahuuuummmmmmaaa I am sensing that... you live east of east st louis and it's raining profusely mmmmmmmhaaaammmm... and you're wearing underwere of a multicultural variety.

YALL GOT SOME NICE CHEMISTRY, STOP. SHOULD DEF HOOKUP AND HAVE SEX, STOP. HOPE IT WORKS OUT WHAT'RE GONNA NAME THE KIDS, STOP.

[size=20] STOP. [/size]

Gladdi, gladdi, gladdi. What if yours is the retarded baby I want to have?

ur too ugly u'd hab to rape me and there's no way u're strong enough to do that (notice how i dun even consider you smart enough)

Because I'm a woman? Also, I didn't know rape took much intelligence.

*discreetly pulling thegoblins aside*

[whisper]we don't take him seriously. And we certainly never try to engage in a rational discussion[/whisper]

How about we talk sports instead.

I know. I been around here before. I just like to try to pretend like everyone's normal.

How 'bout them Ocelots eh!

Awww, a little banter with glad never hurt anyone. He busts out some hard funny now and again. Now, as for your feeding of the troll, young lady...

Which one?

The sick cat guy. That's AIU. If you see someone with 'old, female', who has seen every strip, and yet never posted before, and yammers about some godawful non-sequitur before starting fights, that is AIU. He is the resident troll.

are you implying that there is only one troll on assetbar

this place is a boarding-house and brunch for trolls of all kinds, from the well-educated fact-spewing artistes, congenial gentlemen with peerless wit who reply to every comment with a clever zinger, the wall-of-text typing E-Scholars, to the Old Dudes who make young kids cry, and the E-gangstas ala Charley Smuckles. except instead of tasty scrambled eggs and toast you get lames and people angry on the Interwub at you.

of course, that's the amusing part of assetbarbarians. Everybody remembers Asherdan, Dr. Manflesh, aperson, daidai, glad, and this other guy who constantly called Onstad a gay and a queer, I don't care enough to remember his name right now. and that's like 10% of the wacky, hysterical people we have on Assetbar today.

I figured we all wanted to be chill with each other and look past the super obvious trolling, and just shrug dudes like Glad off as amusement and hilarity. So I didn't want to come to specifics about this

wouldn't have figured you to be calling people trolls either, hedonismbot

assetbar justice is usually dispensed with lames - more lames = more trolling power, so we know who to watch out for.

it's 2:10 am and i'm pretty baked, so i'm just pretty conversational right now
don't want to argue with nobody, chill if you think i'm getting all confrontational and shit

Nah. AIU has stepped over the line a couple of times in various forms. But yeah, every now and then he'll crack some hilarity out, and the contrast is kinda odd. He really is the only troll.

i remember when people said that about asherdan

good times

A classic frustration in the human experience is to not be understood or be misunderstood. And it does frustrate me how people think of myself (AIU) as a troll. The fact of the matter is that I simply lack the situational and social awareness necessary to troll on purpose. For the most part, it simply happens on accident. If I come across as an insensitive jerk, it's not because I'm trying to be, it's merely because I am! But I'm not just any kind of jerk. I'm an accidental jerk. It's mostly beyond my control. Okay there have been times I crossed some lines, but, eh, even there, it's impossible for me to really have a huge degree of awareness and corresponding empathy for exactly where that line in the sand is and what it means to people. This is why I explore it so relentlessly, because it's not a foregone conclusion in my mind, it's not a settled matter. I question everything deliberately because I understand nothing automatically. Why is the sky blue and why is blue blue and why is my hair not blue and why do people care what color my hair is and why is this or that appropriate and at what point does social structure become group-think and so on and so forth. So yeah, by recursively exploring every possible iteration of our reality, I do hit on some funny concepts sometimes. anyway. whatever. my cat gets xrays tomorrow. maybe they will xray my hand in the same xray. I'm paying enough fucking money for it so they should.
I also have a new kitten that jumped into the street while I was riding my motorcycle past. it's wonderful to have a new kitten, but would sure be nice too if my other cat can be brought back to health. if not I guess I can always mail him in a ziplock bag to Achileselbow.

I feel sorry for that kitten, once you start your "special" treatment of furry things in the "House of Pain." RUN KITTEN RUN!

As the guy who posted a dead transvestite up above (and immediately regretted same) I can attest that one's inner asshole sometimes imprints itself upon a post.

That said, I know better than to use my primary account so as to preserve my reputation as a congenial gentlemen with peerless wit.

that wasn't a dead transvestite, that was a dead david carradine. big difference.

Quote:
:trans-ves-tite - noun
a person and especially a male who adopts the dress and often the behavior typical of the opposite sex especially for purposes of emotional or sexual gratification


The difference would be . . . ?

I am the only person on assetbar who is not a troll.

you're the only sane person on assetbar.

As a congenial gentlemen with peerless wit, I salute your cogent analysis of our little club of trolls. Say, wasn't there a Sean Connery flick about that?

Are you going to pierce my inflated ego with a cleverly constructed, sprightly zinger if I mention it?

Oh, oh! What kind of troll am I?

Oh, and you're thinking of Retardo.

Ohhh, okay. Let me fetch my sunglasses with the special troll-filters

I've tried those. I find that I'm the only one here.

Did you check for a HECHO EN MEXICO label on the back?

They'll make you think you're the only troll, and the user subsequently commits suicide

I'm here to lame ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta gum.

I've got Chubs of Steel.

I'll rip off your head and lame down your neck.

He's trying to get in your head, you know?

lol wow

so I just copy/pasted Glad's telegram for use as a come-on on a dating web site. So any hot chicks out there that are 10 years younger than me if you get that in your e-mail that is why.


I know which one is you!

Don't matter -- they're all pink on the inside.

Mine was not pink on the inside and I fear I have overcooked it.

It's all I could find when I googled "multicultural underwear."

I find many cultures in my underwear. The trick is to not change for a week.

I am appalled at this comment.

APPALLED. Shut down the internet.

Gee Jolly Jeepers !

NOT TODAY, AL

*gunshot to the face*

Ahem.

"Got any fat, crippled middle-class white person in you? Want one?"

That Madlib-style line doesn't work with me very well. I want my money back.

This is Ray's party thong. It's a little known fact that one of Ray's balls bleached white after unfortunate testicular torsion. But he's cool with it now.

Awww. Ray's balls are in love.

Ray's balls have left the building.


His balls are gay because they are touching.

We're all a little gay.

His balls are touching, rolling 2 deep & free in Isopropyl.

But yes, east is east.

i'm the worst

im teh brest

and i'm better than the most of the rest:

except that guy.

i dont like your new avatar, fyi

if you dont change it i'll let you know again that i dont like it.

i like glad's new avatar. is very creepy

I loved his old one, (the guy)

u fink he givs 2 shits abot wat u fink ov his ikon?

yours is one of my favs =)

neon freon has several times come across to me as a self-absorbed jerk troll. his avitar is of some jerky guy posing for a picture as if he's all that. what is most annoying about neonfreon is that his posts are generally short. there isn't a lot of substance to this guy.

TROLL FIGHT!

fyi my avatar is pistol pete maravich

i appreciate the feedback it's good to know i'm reaching people

mmm yeah the stuff that pete maravich was into (sports and religion) is pretty much the anti-thesis of the average user of Assetbar.

average assetbar users are fat and going to hell

what? They're fat? I've been talking to fat people?! That sucks. It's one of the dangers of the internet I guess.

I fink he don even giv on shit. times R hard dude.

I could be wrong, but isn't Molly's last name SAUNDERS, not SANDERS?

it's sanders u idiot dont u fink onstad knows his own guys? think 4 once n ur life

If you don't stop writing like that, your brain is going to get stuck like that.

i'ma knock your dumbass out. the fuck you talk down to me

When you make it angry, it gets more eloquent!

Now now, Mr. Borrex. People that talk like you are usually compensating for some, ahem, insecurity.

Also, I watched your "leaked" vid. It was shit.

Next time try a more flattering approach to production: a black screen with no sound.

ib u fink i cares what some fool thinks o' my trick
u got another thing cummin'
an' i don' mean ur 4 inch dick

Your raps evoke a lot of emotion but I wish you would work on the scansion.

His new avicon give him a free pass. Scansion surgery would just mess that overbite all to hell.

so what would gladi8orrex be like in real life?

i take 0 shit from peeps.

Glad is a made man. Anyone who has anything different to say, he will fucking fuck you in the street. Frick.

don' act lik i give shits what u fink.

I don't think your three paragraphs of elementary school poetry is a very good way of expressing your apathy.

Iowerth is being judged so hard by Ray in the last panel

So hard it could break a bone

I find panel 10 pleasing. It feels natural, a welcome reprise from this often weak arc. Ray's rhyme is hardcore. "My name's pit, and your ass ain't talkin your way out of this shit."

Ahem, gore ahead -- if the magic tag is the key, the lady sheep must be disemboweled. Or we wait for sheep shit.

That wool looks pretty MMR to me.

He wants wool...thats it, just WOOL!

You all got smutty minds!

This could very well be true. The precedent of Cod as currency shows Iorwerth's practicality in matters material and financial.

In the last panel, Ray straight up looks like his dad.

that is very much a Ramses Luther facial expression. chubby.

Someone made pickles in bed and this time it wasn't Ray.

COUNTY GWYNEDD, WALES (AP) - A Welshman Iorwerth Sanders were found sevyrely beyten today next to a sheep with a most curyous dye pattern emblazoned on yts wool. The townsfolk suspect it may have been the work of a fyne man under the ynfluence of a nacho or a blunt.

Shoop.

best. personals blurb. ever.
The features that captures my attention is your mind . You could make love to me with your intellect . Im so into that.
Im a super goffie person and i just like to have positive fun . My greatest guilty pleasure is FOOD im slim so i can eat as much as i want to and get away with mureder. I use to be kinda a wild child but im saved now. i found the jesus and he is my lord and savoir and finding him is the best desicion i could have made in my life . Im not perfect though i still do my dirt every now and then , but i put it in perpective now. and the thing I am most grateful for is GOD with out him id be screwed . one thing i must say is im a big romantic geek To me, romance comes the heart it can be silly ,it can be serious ,it can be whatever as long as you feel it in your heart and you mean what your giving your cool . Im a very pretty gurl but i can be a dorky at times lol . Im not afraid or shy to be me , eithier you take me as i am or have nothing at all , im the type of gurl that would bust out and start laughing at something that happened yesterday lol but thats what life is all about no body whats to hang around a person who has thier foot up their ass .uuuum im not concieted i hate concieted people , i dont think im better than anyone , im kinda like a hippie at heart I LOVE EVERYONE . I love music

I would give you a chubby but that wasn't funny.
It's a sad, dying world out there, stop poking fun
at it on its deathbed.

TL DR, troll

chuppied evan tho wasn't orig contint

Oh man this girl sounds perfect for me

No-one wants to hang around someone with their foot up their ass? I... what? Is this a joke? Is that a common opinion? Shit.

clearly you have had your foot up your ass for some time

i_love_kate just got served. in a grammatically correct manner.

Back to the missing of the deadlines. Onstad, you know we <3, but really .

Ladies and also well meaning dudes, i wonder if i order a Flaming Bob Marley while going to the bar with a prospective date, do i look like a total douche ?

if yes, would a White Russian be any better ? Sidecar ? Just stay with common beer ? Help a guy out ( you have 2h30 to do so, thank you )

y not jus' get a coke?

Coz i will get trown out, it's the casino's bar. Also i have not had any delicious alcohol in the last few weeks. Also here people prfer pepsi.

But thanks for the feedback

That depends whether you order it shaken or with balls touching.

I don't know what a Flaming Bob Marley is, but I don't really think your choice of drink is going to affect the outcome of a date (unless you get really drunk and have chosen a liquor that doesn't get along with you, I guess).

Anyway, a simple whiskey sour is always a classic choice that won't make a lady think you are of low mind.

It,s one third grenadine, 1 third creme de menthe, 1 third 151 proof rum

grenadine First, then float the creme de menthe, the finally the rum. wet a straw , light the rum, then imbibe

wat u drink doesn't "say something abot u" is jus' juice. should order dr pepper eerytime an' ib sum1 wants to infer sumfink from dat den fuck 'em

Someone says I'm a teetotaler, I'll just sit here not being a teetotaler and they'll be wrong.

My name is Judge.

hi judge is it true you're black?

The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks specifies six basic drinks: the Martini, the Manhattan, the Old Fashioned, the Daiquiri (not frozen, of course), the Sidecar, and the Jack Rose. In this case I would omit the daiquiri as that seems like, in this case, perhaps an inappropriate time and place to consume such a thing. I would opine that you cannot go wrong with any of these. Any liquor served neat or in a highball consisting of only one mixer is also probably acceptable and a valid substitution for the absent daiquiri.
