And it really does spell egg sandwhich. Right around this time Mr. Onstad, you were on a comedy roll.

or he was hungry when he wrote this

Given the Bacon Blogs, I rate you as "yes"

The best part is that Ray is missing the D, which also occurs here .

Man, that ain't proper notation for anything .

I don't get is the delta -> ch or the (n) -> nd

(little help)

My thoughts exactly. I thought delta->ch might be that delta=change, i.e. ch, but that's a stretch. But, man, I just love Ray's attitude in this strip.

is it a capital letter?

What you call "delta" is also the letter pronounced "dee" in the Greek alphabet.

I think you're right about the delta standing for "change". As far as the d goes, if you would recall this strip , Ray doesn't know how to spell "sandwich".

Awesome catch, but it looks like your container of urls and your container of quotation marks weren't quite sealed all the when you tossed them next to each other in your pantry. Or wherever you keep them.

...and there is nothing more embarrasing than a major typo when you are in the middle of joking about someone else's minor typo. I have defeated myself. goddammit.

I thought the d came in as derivative of w sub i, explaining the cursive-y w sub i.

I'd never have gotten my math degree if I hadn't seen this strip. The "Make Shit Up" approach to proving can go a long way.

This exact concept was in The Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul.

I have always found the title of that book interesting for it's lack of commas. It's almost as if Mister Adams couldn't make up his mind about the inclusion of an Oxford comma and was finally just like "Fine, fine! NO commas! At all!"

...just sayin'.

Titles don't comma

I always felt kind of weird that all those incredible characters in the Woodshead amounted to nothing more than a series of examples of what was wrong with the Woodshead.

Also: god damn I want to write a screenplay adaptation of that book, but every time I try - about five times, now - it gets to the point where either it's not funny or makes no sense at all.

I love egg sandwiches.

I hate to join the horde of everyone else doing this, but this was my first achewood, ever.

And an excellent one at that.

This was NOT my first Ache.

This was also not my first Achewood, but it was the one where I finally got off my ass and made an Assbar account.
(I wanted to see what asherdan was always talking about that was annoying people so much.)

That's...that's actually the same reason I made my account.
Is that bad?

Not ten minutes into an X-Files, nor thirty minutes into an X-files, but twenty minutes. That is the time of maximum confusion.

And you all knew that exact feeling when you read that line. And that is why Onstad is awesome; I've never read dialogue that seemed to actual ; anything else, in comparison, sounds like a textbook.

(Just as an aside, Firefox claims "dialogue" is spelled wrong. Did I miss a memo?)

Maybe it prefers "dialog." I don't, but it may.

Teodor: Beer Class Fin / Letter to Cook's Illustrated

Teodor's bruschetta technique is also handy for getting olive oil onto eggplant slices which you intend to grill.

How did you do that? Was it black magic or just force of will? Teach me .

Select it, it is an image .

ohhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiit

Beef's handwriting here looks very similar to Ultra Peanut's.

God, fuck mathematics.

Sorry, man, I gotta represent and find this comment lame.

Screw you, mathematics! FUCK you!

You mean Fuck... Algebra! ?
