Never piss on a wet dog's face. Trust.

Is something missing, or are you Dan Rather? Courage

The very lamest.

It could be lamer. There could be a thousands-of-pixels-tall invisible GIF.

Hey, I said I was sorry!

You are forgiven. Go and sin no more.

Oh wait! Do 6 Hail Marys, 4 Our Fathers and 1 Handjob.

Oh! Prisonerx is in for statutory! That's clears some things up.

Actually isn't age of consent 16? Hmmm... this is a blurry one. Someone call in Google.

State-by-state. I live in CT. IT'S OKAY FOR ME.

NY: 17

Worse yet, the five-year statute of limitations doesn't start to run until they are 18. So if you diddle a 15-y.o., you have to wait 8 years before you can brag about it.

I have a great story to tell you in 2 years, 4 months and 16 days.

Indeed, we should then share a pint in 3 years, 1 month, and two weeks.

i think its a problem for the other person, as you are 1 year old.

jeffspaulding was never born. he is without beginning or end, and he has become Time, the destroyer of worlds.

Or Groucho Marx.

I am one Saturn-year (approx 29). If you think I'm older (84), you must be thinking of Uranus.

jeffspaulding is one dude.

I promise you this now jeffspaulding. I will never stop thinking about Uranus.

18 in Missouri. I forgot that Missouri was not the world.

16. yay for Quebec.

Go across the border because it's only a fairly sensible 16 in Kansas. California, however, is fucked right in the head with 18. I mean, what the fuck man? I thought you were cool!

On point?

Quote:
BANGKOK (Reuters) - U.S. actor David Carradine, who starred as the wandering monk in the long-running Kung Fu television series, has died in Bangkok, the U.S. embassy said on Thursday.

Embassy officials did not have any details on how the actor, who has more recently had roles in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films, died.


Now why would he be in Bangkok?

Quote:
Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and body on Thursday morning.

Seems normal to me.

Talk about having a wardrobe to die for.

That's the PC version, the other end of the rope was on his testicles.

Boy, when they say the one night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble, they are not kidding .

and a humble man hard .

I told my girlfriend that he was trussed up like a turkey. She told her dad that he was dressed up like a turkey...

Did Connie write that one?

naw Kornfeld, you ain't never played telephone (aka telegraph)? Whisper a phrase in a friend's ear and they whisper what they heard in anothers' ear and so on down the line. By the time you get to the last kid, the original phrase has been horribly and hilariously mangled.

Now I want to see someone photoshop David Carradine's face in a Foghorn Leghorn outfit. That would basically be awesome.

maybe he was filming a movie? Oh wait, that is what he was doing.

Wait, wait... I thought the "Our Father" was just a euphemism for a handjob.

i went on and clicked "all" .. man that fucked my computer, but it was quite amusing.

Ray won the Great Outdoor Fight. He tore a man's jaw off and punched cowboys to pulp. Why doesn't he grab the rock from that boy's hand like a 5th grader taking money from a 2nd grader?

Ray's personal approach favours negotiation and talking as opposed to violence. That's Sondra's genetic material for you

"You kill me, you ain't gonna get no goddamn wishes!" is the most perfect thing to say to death, ever. I can now walk the streets of Camden with a new-found confidence.

Ahmadinejad visually describing the size of his penis.

No, seriously, it's this big. Just ask your mother. And the Holocaust didn't happen, that's the Jews fucking with your mind.

Ahmadinejad is a strange man. So hateful, so brutal, so irretrievably insane..... and yet so huggable.

I mean look at the guy. I want to pick him up and let him ride on my shoulders to a carnival, where we'd ride the ferris wheel and throw pies at clowns. I'd buy him a candied-apple and win him a big stuffed bear at the ring-toss booth.

Then I'd show him the atrocity films first screened at Nuremburg and bring him on a guided tour of Dachau, Auschwitz etc., slap him on the wrist, call him a very bad puppet-president and send him on his way. My wife disagrees, but I really believe that coddling kids only turns them into shiftless lay-abouts, always asking for money that they spend on pot and movies instead of a decent suit for job interviews. A firm hand makes respectable citizens, not holocaust-deniers, I can tell you that much. My Tommy, straight A's throughout school and now he's a lawyer in a prominent firm. Mahmoud? Shame of the family.

Who denies the holocaust? Who denies the holocaust? You do! Yes you do! You deny the holocaust. Uh-oh... did someone say he wants to let women into football stadiums? Did he? Aw, you're just a crazy person, aren't you? Yes you are. Yes you are!

maybe aelindil can make a crochet Ahmadinejad. Or a sock monkey.

If you can walk around Camden with any kind of confidence at all, then you are a better man than I.

If you are talking about the Camden in London then your confidence is clearly impaired by the prospect of aging Sex Pistols fans, children offering to sell you baggies of oregano, and arseholes dressed in the manner of Russel Brand smoking Lambert and Butler outside of pubs.

if you are talking about Camden, NJ, then your confidence is clearly impaired by the prospect of aging serial killers, children offering you to sell you cans of Coca Cola with ground glass in it, and assholes dressed like Mr. Rogers choking out prostitutes outside of bars.

I was a big fan, but I got real confused when a guy offered to Roger me -- what he did had very little to do with the show I loved.

You should have consulted your English Slang Dictionary circa 1975

You may have ordered the "Roger Daltry" by accident.

I was taking the subway home from school today and on the other side of the station a guy was yelling repeatedly to (as far as I could tell) no one in particular, "Hey! That's still not funny and it's not cool!"

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, what?

I wanted to say something about Bergman's mise-en-scene as depicted in the above-two stills. But now I can only think of hippos humping.

Its like a childrens' video for the letter "H":

Hippos!
Hippos Humping on a House!
Happy Horny Hippos Humping on a House.

I've always wanted to make a children's alphabet aid along the lines of:

H is for hour
K is for knives
P is for pneumatic

C is for Czar
G is for Gstaad

J is for Jai Alai

And they're fucking rhinocerii. Ignorant Amerikaners.

You and your psuedo-latin. They are rhinos or rhinoceroses.

rhineuroses?

Rhinosteriches!

thin-skin syndrome, Herr Lipp.

Anyone who has heard the children's song knows it is rhinocerussus

probably too late now, but Bare Naked Ladies did one of those for their children's album. It's most notable for providing Qat, the perfect scrabble word

That's weird, all I can think about are rhinos humping.

SHIT!

Should be Randy Rhinos Rutting.

Yes

What was that about mice insane?

[IMGS OFF]

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm thinking the baize in the fanny is referring to what is contemporaneously known by the colloquilism... 'cunt rag'...?

It fits. "Bitch, are you on the rag?" -> "M'lady, sit ye astride the baize?"

Sidenote: one of the worst things about a dorm with coed bathrooms is that you have to see tampon paraphernalia. Saturday nights become a game of minesweeper.

...and a coed bathroom is one where you get co-educated?

Yes.

Lloyd would give his entire inheritance of sheep to be a fly on that coed dorm bathroom wall.

All 3 1/2 of them.

Hey, you know what that would be worth in today's currency?


...

Since the sheep are dead, I'd say zero.

incorrect. dead sheep taste better than live sheep.

And the mint jelly stays on.

But the Roast Leek is substituted off in favour of recent american signing, Potato

Also dead sheep are tighter

It hasn't worked with my mother -- they loosen up again after a few weeks.

OK that must be AIU, given his heritage.

I am NOT!

As a ladytype, I have this to say to that complaint:
BAWWWWWWW.

Try actually needing to use tampon paraphernalia on any given Saturday night. Kinda ruins the weekend for you.

This goes double for the dudes.

I'm offended by your startling lack of empathy, aelindil.

Can't we just all think teen/collegiate ovulation is an irritating inconvenience together, in harmony? Can we go back to how it used to be?

"Can we go back to how it used to be" ???

Parthenogenesis?

Hey aelindil, this is off topic, plus I know something like it came up a few strips back, but: your wonderful wonderful crochet. I need one. I need one bad. As a present. What do I do? Seriously, I want to either get one for my gf or maybe even make her learn to crochet so she can make one for me. I can't be the only one! You gotta bank on this! A cute, crocheted, stufed otter, based on a real otter we all love, in turn based on a fake stuffed otter I guess Onstad's wife loved. Gotta be a market for that. Tell me!

i second this notion. maybe set up an etsy shop? id pay my hard-earned unemployment money for one of those li'l guys.

i'm sure those student loans can wait when i explain i'm getting a crocheted otter off the internet

Okay, here's the scoop so far. I'm still kind of waiting on Onstad's email, but I've got an Etsy shop set up (SassInTheMain.etsy.com), and I'm almost done with the first sellable Philippe. I'll stockpile 4 or 5 ahead of time, and if I get the green light, I'll start listing them. I do not know right at the moment how much they will cost, but probably in the $30-40 range.

If I don't get the green light, well, I'll have a lot of Philippes sitting around my house.

I doubt he'll greenlight your idea. I'm sure he prefers that every discretionary Achewood dollar end up in his pocket.

Now if you sold your items to him wholesale for $4/unit to meet demand for units he pre-sold @ $40 . . .

Yes. We all know what a deep respect he has for copyrighted characters.

[IMGS OFF]

YES! I will buy one officially, and if you never get that green light, I would happily buy a Felipe Non-Achewood-Related Otter-like Figurine* as well.

*Any resemblance to characters from a webcomic are purely coincidental.

Yeah, it seems like it'd be pretty easy and legal as long as you don't call it Philippe. I'm not a lawyer, but what could he really do?

Part of this seems odd to me. I mean, there is a real stuffed Philippe out there that the character is based on and now we have a stuffed version of that character. I wonder if it would somehow be possible to find the original stuffed animals and somehow purchase those or make them available for sale. I doubt Onstad would ever do this though.

He could depict you in a webcomic as "John Rowboat, that piece of shit dangling off the world's hindquarters!"
Think about that.


tampon paraphernalia frightens me a bit. I prefer to sit upon a flat baize.

I prefer you sit on my fat face.

WHY DO YOU KEEP GETTING MORE COLORFUL

She felt better on the baize.

Dang I missed this post.

Man I am STILL bugged out at that serape's eyes vanishing.

Cutting that tag off was the equivalent of taking out the batteries.

I suspect it may be closer to the equivalent of waking the witch. :(

So...Lloyd wants to be Wales' first airborne peeping tom paedophile? Even Roast Beef's grunchy side isn't this bad.

I also hope Reese is wrong about it being like a sheeps tongue. A flat, grass wrapped piece of wool in the fanny sounds exceedingly uncomfortable.

Being that he is naive and wishes to fly over "bearing age" girls, he is no pedophile. Most every jurisdiction requires that you be older than the purported victim.

Different story when you distribute naked pictures of your (same-aged) 15-year old GF, since a third party is now involved.

Playing doctor is OK as long as you don't send the "x-rays" out.

But specialists must be consulted, otherwise the HMO won't accept a diagnosis of "lacking the high hard one" without a second opinion. Or several opinions if she's hot.

Of course, that's predicated on the notion that the consultants are also 15. Like "Grey's Anatomy" meets "The Wonder Years".

or Doogie Howser, MD

More like a feminine pad than anything. I'm sure there is a story out there, much like yesterday's Star Trek novella.

Cast ye not the summing spell.

Is, is that an early tampon he speaks of? What is baize?

I think I need an adult.

What is it with everyone not knowing what baize is? It's as if you've none of you have ever played snooker.

Snooker ? I've never even met her.

Have a chubby!

But he's never even met you!

Aw yeah, who became Groucho Marx in the comments section just now?

The surface finish of baize is not very fine (and thus increases friction, perceptibly slowing the balls down, from a player's perspective)


Wikipedia is talking dirty here.

Shouldn't that be " playa's perspective"

Perhaps

Baize is the Spanish word for corn.

I think.

It's actually "taze".

No. It is the Assetbar equivalent of the Kobayashi Maru.

No, these day to dispose of a dead shark, you must throw it through the window of a Jewish Pharmacist.

Don't remind me of when this strip was edgy and funny.

It's too painful.

Don't remind me of how whiny, self involved and impatient you are.

Wait, multiple? Who else won it? Are you counting PineKirk and ShatnerKirk as different people? Explain yourself to the internet.

Oh my, do you suggest that fans of the show "Star Trek" tend to be bad with the opposite sex? What astoundingly original humor.

Seriously, what's the deal ?

I believe it was in one of the novels at one point. Apparently he reprogrammed it to make the Klingons fear and respect him based on his reputation. He claimed this was, in fact, not cheating as he planned to acquire a similar reputation.

I always felt it was perfectly winnable: you stay right the fuck where you are and you do not cross into that damn Neutral Zone.

I mean, this isn't a new concept by any means. The well-known case from history would be Peter Fechter who was shot while attempting to cross the no-man's land between East and West Berlin not long after the wall went up. He lay in the middle bleeding to death while both sides refused to do anything in order to prevent initiating an international incident.

This is basically exactly the same thing except it might actually just be a trap.

It always struck me more as a test of whether you have more bravado than sense or whether you're actually capable of following the rules even in a tough situation.

In one of the novels I am told that Sulu is one of the only members of the original crew who realizes it is probably a trap and doesn't cross the line.

Basic Land Law accounts for all erections on a property in the United Kingdom of England and Scotland as it was at the time.

It has long been my understanding that the term 'fanny', to a Briton, carries a similar taboo as the term cunt does to Americans such as myself.

This is the only explanation I have yet found for the fascination which several British acquaintances have had for the American candy company Fanny Farmer.

Known as Pussy Ranch west of the Rockies.

You're thinking of Hellmann's.

Hellmann's is known as Pussy Ranch?

Well it is known as "Best Foods" west of the Rockies.

If pussy ain't the best food, what is?

Hot pockets!

"hot pocket" is what they call your mom at the truckstop.

They call me the "iron cannoli"

Marked down for using crust as both adjective and noun.

Blame the marketing team, not me.

I wouldn't say that there is much a taboo attached to the word 'fanny'. No more than any other word denoting genitals. That doesn't stop 'Fanny Farmer' being hilarious. Not as funny as the fact that George Bush had an aide called Randy Bumgardner however.

Peter O'Toole may disagree on that point.

Jack Goff has a rebuttal for you .

Dog. The worst thing you can call another man in an Australian prison.

"Punk" in American prisons.

No, I'm pretty sure the worst thing you can call another man in prison is "Shirley".

We should really ask Cornelius.

I didn't know the overwhelming demographic of Achewood fans was comprised of convicts. Also probably Dirty Ears Bill is the worst thing to call a man in prison.

Since I am also white I do not perceive this to be a likely source of conflict.

There are a number of Austrlian readers of Achewood. Watch your backs.

That I would assume would be the American winner, but in this poll, which I can't remember where it is, that was at least second. Could've been even lower.

I like to call people "cuntblossom." Simply because it makes no sense.

"Cocksucker" also seems to work pretty well, for some reason.

Cockfucker sounds really awful, but really it's just a truthful statement. But it SEEMS like such a horrible thing

Perhaps that is an English thing alone because if Irvine Welsh has taught me anything it is that Scotland would likely cease to have any form of communication if they could not say "cunt".

Fucking... BOOOO!

That doesn't mean they have any swearwords that they consider more offensive.

Also, I've never known "cunt" to mean "bloody raped vagina". I've always just known it as "vagina". To Urbandictionary!

But my understanding was that it can easily be used, albeit not in polite conversation, as a synonym for "chap" or "fellow". With no offense implied. Well, OK, perhaps a small amount of offense, but no more than anyone would use when out with the lads.

Same as "nigga" here?

MAKES yA THINK

Not very hard, but yes, I see what you're saying. Mild debasements as a form of friendly male bonding and banter seem to be fairly common across multiple social groups.

I suspect it is related to a desire to establish primacy within the group, yet subverted to a level that still allows friendship. Perhaps it has inverted the traditional concept of a mild insult by repurposing it in a friendly, or at least casual, context in order to show affection. The interpersonal relationship provides the needed context to establish that it is not intended to be hurtful and, as such, it serves to comment on that bond.


Whatever, cunt.

Hi, I'm also a white douchebag.

This isn't really taking off like you'd hoped, eh?

Everywhere I've lived in the U.S.A, at least, "cunt" is by far the worst swear word one can use. Even during four years in the U.S.M.C., I can't think of anyone using it, and Marines swear like sailors who swear like Marines.

Based on my experience with my co-workers from the UK, "cunt" is far more accepted "over there" than it is here (U.S.A./N. California). With one of them arrived in the U.S., indirect social pressure usually builds up after a short while and they learn that that word is a big no no except among co-workers you know really well, and then only well out of earshot of anyone else. This shouldn't be interpreted that folks from the UK arrive and immediately begin running around the office yelling it, but early on with a couple of them it was evident that they thought it was just fine to use in after-work social situations in mixed company. And even those I haven't heard use it expressed some surprise that saying it is Such A Big Deal here.

'Course, this all anecdotal, blah, blah, blah, but that's been my experience. Also, I am old, and the folks I'm talking about are usually at least 10 years younger than I am, so I don't know if the word holds more stigma amongst Brits who are my age. Another disclaimer goes here.

Sigh:

"With one of them arrived in the U.S." should read, "When one of them arrives in the U.S."

And:

"This shouldn't be interpreted that folks from the UK" should read, "This shouldn't be interpreted as that folks from the UK", except less awkward. And also I used periods for my other acronyms, but not for the U.K.

And now I'm removing my hands from the keyboard, except to push "Post".

And also, "U.S.A" and "U.K.", are not acronyms. (It didn't take me long to get coffee. Also, I'm almost starting to like this self-flagellation.)

is also a thing of certain feminists and randy girls to use the word like it's going out of style

Quote:
ac·ro·nym \%u02C8a-kr%u0259-%u02CCnim\ noun

a word (as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also: an abbreviation.


How are USA and UK not acronyms?

UK does not exist. I Live in England , now fuck along.

....Soticoto?

I don't get it.

no, soticoto would've said "fvck along"

Yes. He would have. He also would have been so into that Portal reference somewhere in the past couple days. Man, I still count myself maybe the only member of the soticoto fan club. How come I can love an annoying-ass troll on the internet, but I can't bring myself to give the time of day to my own roommate's annoying-ass dog?

The technology has not yet been developed to allow trolls to specifically, directly, and purposefully shit into your shoes. It is in development, yes, but not production.

Oh blah, your needs.

Fair enough. I'm happy to write England. That's what I get for trying not to cause offense.

Acronyms:
NATO - "nay-tow"
RADAR - "ray-dar"

Initialisms:
USA - "you ess ay"
UK - "you kay"

Well, I guess they qualify under the second definition, but not the primary one, unless there are a bunch of folks talking about "Oosah" and "the Uck".

God. Even just a one strip break from this arc would mean so much to me. I'm sorry. This just isn't very good.

yeah, reading the entire archive and ending with this just isn't as exciting as i thought it would be..

The problem with story arcs is that they get a bit tortured at points and require transitional strips such as this to move the narrative along.

I'm sure our forbearance will be rewarded with some piss-yourself hilarity when Ray kicks it new old school among the old old school.

That said, I kinda prefer the one-off strips. The fact that 4 out-of 5 of the Highest Rated strips are arc-less attests that I am not alone in this opinion.

You certainly are not alone. The one-offs have always been the best thing about this comic. I can't figure out why he ever does anything else.

I would take comfort in your patient approach regarding this arc, but my faith was severely rattled by all that Polly business. That dragged on forever and there was never anything like a funny ending. It just went away. I was glad it was gone, but a real great closing strip would've maybe caused me to reevaluate the prior strips. As it was, it was just blah. The amazingly good x-mas strips to end the year did a lot to assuage that frustration, and he's done plenty of good things in the first half of this year. I'm not one of those "ONSTAD HAS JUMPED THE SHARK LOL" fucks. I know he still has it. I just can't stand the arcs lately. Too long and for too little pay off.

WTF dudes! your actin' like this message board is a forum to discuss the relative merits of the comic.

Let's get back to how they say naughty bits down under.

I here that Mel Gibson was very big down under . . .

You're thinking of Milton Berle.

Chubbied for referencing a huge chubby.

Metachubby?

That's what she said!

My favorite Dylan tune.

IT WOULD BE!

And I've only ever known the Manfred Mann version, by the way. It's so strange how many of Dylan's songs just aren't that great until someone else covers them.

He also did wonders with Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light". Maybe Manfred Mann is just great at covers?

Yeah but the best version of "Blinded by the Light" is ELO's. On this there can be no dispute.

Lamed for a reasonable opinion with which I disagree.

Well, you're all kinds of reasonable yet resigned lately, Robbie. Are you rocking a meerschaum perhaps?
That's the visual I'm getting.
Or have I just slung a horrible slang for a Clinton boner?

I don't even know how to start answering this? How 'bout what?

Oh gawd I remember playing the EP for that when I was 7 and I had my own record player...
*cries a single tear*
Oh wait, now I have the mp3 on my iPod. Hooray for technology!

Without arcs, we'd have no ocular shenanigans. Would you really want to live in that world? On the other hand, there'd be no Cartilage Head. I'm still troubled by that dude.

Cartilage Head is the exception that proves the rule.

CH was brilliant with a terrific pay-off.

[IMGS OFF]

The only time in the canon that Ray was truly tested (and bested).

Word has it Mr. Smuckles was also truly de-testeed.

Agreed, but that was 2005. Everything he touched turned to gold that year. He's cooled off a little since then. Obviously there has been a hell of a lot of good material in the last four years, but there is and will be only one 2005.

I wonder when these will be available in the shop.

The difference between Cartilage Head and this is very apparent. Very little said, mysterious kind of air...this might have time traveling and MaGiC but there's not much subtlety.

I agree with this guy. I've said enough in the past about one-offs and I wasn't the first or last. I'd like a nice little Mexican magical realist ending here and then a return to the pre-wedding one-off hilarity.

I actually totally agree with you. It's painful.

Weak... Just seriously, seriously weak.

"Keep talkin'..." one raised eyebrow... a surreptitious look back over his shoulder... :)

Yeah, dude's got some AMAZING sex frustrations going on. "Like a fist in snow"? That...that can't be right.

are you implying that he lubricates asses with snow?

this reminds me of my display icon thingy

Penile Landscape? its too small to be sure

That's what she said!

He cried

The Penile Groves of BeLicious St. Coxx are particularly luscious in the rainy season.

I still prefer to study the delicious agronomy of the females of Dominica, as they pluck banana's from the tees with dainty hands and full latex fetish wear in the sub-tropical temperatures, several of them too busy fellating the man from Del Monte to guarentee, he says 'Yes'

[IMGS OFF]

Dammit. Now I can see it. I thought it was just a blurred photo of streetlights or something... :(

Nope, it was penises and asses all along. [/evil_laugh]

Being able to fly seems like an exciting idea at first, but you would actually feel a bit self conscious. People being as they are (i.e. bastards), they would look up at you flying around and sneer, and make unpleasant comments about you to their friends motivated by jealousy and spite. Flying would only really be enjoyable if you were simultaneously invisible, as in the sadly unremembered children's television classic Aquila.

You're definitely tapping into one of my all time childhood wishes, here. That and the ability to make time stop so I could just walk up and touch girls' tits.

Even if time were stopped...wouldn't they still notice ??

Hell yes. They notice if you even glance at their tits. Hypertitsensitivity transcends time. You know this already.


Did you say... t-t-t- TITS ?

No! They aren't conscious! They can't see me! Stop trying to turn my innocent boyhood sexual curiosity into some kind of morbid nightmare scenario!

I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH TITS - I WASN'T A MONSTER!

I think that all women desire fondling. You offend them if you don't make the effort to grab a few.

Then again, all people are just automatons placed here for my use and amusement.

Chubbied for extreme narcissism and mild misogyny.

The people I kill will become my slaves in the afterlife.

Take a seat, Mr. Zodiac.

Only if you stop the darkness from screaming.

I gotta tell you...my last boyfriend wasn't a boob guy and my breasts are one of my greatest assets. I could always tell his fondling wasn't genuine...it wasn't awesome.

If he's not really putting his back into it, he isn't putting his heart into it.

What!? Chicks like fondling. I thought it was for my pleasure. Now that bitch owes me big-time.

Next you'll tell me they like it when you slap them with herring.

Herring should only be used to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest.

[IMGS OFF]

Chicks like the fondling when they want it . It's dangerous behavior when they don't. Women are tricky - it's all about timing. And mind reading.

I found a cure for Women's inscrutability: Rohypnol

Oh, you kids today with your ruffies. Back in my day we had to make due with Coors Light and deserted fields.

Why d'ya lame me TripleG? 'Cause I made you go look up inscrutable?

So did I: Asking them!

Oh great... now it looks like I go up to ladies in the street: "Excuse me, I'm a feminist just like you, may I fondle your bosom?"... juuuuust great.

That will probably work!

"Excuse me...

See? It worked. Now I'm ready for you to fondle my bosom.

Wow! I never thought it'd be like this! I'm totally rockin' thegoodwillgirl's bosom.

Is she... is she wearing her smock? Do they even wear smocks at Goodwill?!?

[pedant]Technically it is more likely to be a cobbler (see also: cobbler-apron), but I'm not about to split hairs here.[/pedant]

I do wear a smock. Here is an answer to your question a number of months later. I call it an apron, if it is of any consequence.

I would ask about your thoughts regarding smocks and bosom fondling, but as that seems far too forward let's just all agree that there is obviously potential there for theoretical people wearing theoretical aprons (to adopt the current vernacular) to get their bosoms rocked in a way that is pleasing to all.

Consider said theory agreed upon.

Nature , however, seems to hold a dissenting opinion.

Belgand even tried The Proceedings of the National Academy of Mammarian Studies as his safety, but it didn't fare any better.

I just watched Cashback yesterday. Get out of my head Rowboat. Get out of my head!!

What the fuck!? Sean Ellis needs to get out of my head.

[IMGS OFF]
Heh. I could teach you how to fly in two minutes, kid.

Ray, maker of cowboy sauce, who kicked the asses of several men and won the GOF, is held at bay by one kid with a rock.

in his defense, though, he doesn't have beef here to reveal the kid with the rock's weaknesses or turn him berzerk

Who's the Guaranteed Honky-Tonk Style Blowjob now?

um... umm... Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?

I am really curious as to the thought process between Honky-Tonk Style Blowjob and Goethe ?

Maybe Ray would just prefer to use a peaceful solution, such as lying about granting wishes, to get around the problem.

Seriously, this.

Ray isn't DUKE NUKEM. He's not going to respond to every threat to his person with "I'M GOING TO RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND SHIT DOWN YOUR NECK."

And if you think he should, then you're probably reading the wrong comic.

Could you even get an orange in wales in the 1600's?

Those wishing for the delicate taste of forbidden citrus would oft choke whilst trying to satisfy their craving with a "poor man's Orange" of vinegar 'pon a halved beet.

Nell Gwyn sold oranges in London theatres before she became the mistress of Charles II. That is as much as I know about oranges in the 1600s. I offer it freely to you.

I can't speak for Wales, but I'm moderately sure that in Spain, they thought that oranges were poisoness.
Or was that tomatoes.
I don't know. . .
Google it, you lazy bum.

Tomatoes, I'm pretty sure. Tomatoes were considered poisoner.

I thought it was apples.

Perhaps this is because tomatoes were once known as the "love apple"?

But the idea that they are poisonous is fairly reasonable as they are from the same family as nightshade and the leaves and stems do contain poisonous compounds.

From taste alone they also have that acrid, alkaline flavor that tends to imply to our bodies that something is poisonous and should not be eaten.

It's actually because their leaves and stems are highly poisonous, they're related to the same family of plants as the deadly nightshade. The tomato itself apparently has some of the chemical that is poisonous but not in nearly enough quantities to be of harm, although it is the reason it has it's distinctive flavour. Blah blah blah the more you know blah blah.

What did you say that I had not already said?

He said it in a funny accent.

Holy shit. Can someone lame me, please. Apologies. Much much too much caffeine that day. I don't even remember reading your comment. Wow. Hah.

Wow.

Heh... great mind think alike. Except yours, fuck you man. You are now required to live in Halls Creek. If you already do, then you are required to find someplace even more godawful and move there. Possibly Wales.

*woodenteeth makes a new life in Siberia*

I said worse, not better.

Look belgand, this is the last time, I am NOT living in your wardrobe.

Damn, Lloyd is a FREAK.

man i keep thinking achewood is awesome when i start these strips, then i get to the bottom and it's like onstad just gave up and put some bullshit in to make his own deadline. who honestly cares about the god damned baize bullshit when flying is on the line.

Lloyd seriously needs to leave the allegories alone. He's hurting us all.

It's bizarre when you hit the curr button when you were aiming for Next, and you go from Beef floating introspectively down a creek in '02 to Ray with a... an article of clothing on granting wishes to some kid in '09.

an article of clothing is exactly what that is.

Has anyone else noticed that the Nagel-nymph has had her eyes closed since Ray removed the tag?

Yes. It has been noted.

S... several times.

i HATE smiles. being happy makes me SOOO MAAAAD

Well, it's closer than 'allegories' at least (glowers at I_Love_Kate).

Did you read that as similes ?

I did not.

That's the joy of glad - you can deliberately misinterpret him.

Although he will atomize you, so please be careful.

I was using "allegories" as a blanket term for metaphors and similes. Was I wrong?

To Urbandictionary!

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT, TEODOR


Oh my goodness, it starts to make sense.

Chubbies all around!

At least, until I ran out.

I want to know what kind of book you would recommend

Bought 1984 and both Don Quixotte yesterday, wanted to hear what you may suggest.

I recommend Don Quizotte.

I read 1984 and find that it was a very poor memoir. Honestly, a third of the stuff described didn't really happen.

Also, its a rip-off of Gilliam's Brazil .

Why read about a totalitarian dystopia, when I can just open my eyes.

OMG UR A SLAVE 2 THE MAN

I cam here to kick ass and chew bubble bum...

... and I'm all out of gum.

^e

That's good. Fix the "cam" without an e, but let's keep that "bubble bum" typo right on in there.

I came here to lick ass...

Somehow I didn't see bubble bum? Woodenteeth do you have any appointments available?

On the matter of Callipygian women he shall let no man besmirch his good name and put forward the notion that he would falsely embellish statements that he does not fully subscribe to.

You're rocking some good verse there, brain-in-a-jar. Easily lends itself to Gilbert-&-Sullivanizing.

Chubbied for one of my favorite words (signifier, signified, AND referant). Can you guess which one?

[IMGS OFF]

?

Somehow I suspect this is incorrect.

You must post in this thread if you gently rolled your cursor over the statue's shapely posterior

I don't know if it's the picture, the statue, personal preference, or just not being an ass man, but I am not getting anything from that. I expect more from the ass of a goddess.

Maybe some of it can be blamed on mass media. In the past how many seriously hot women did you ever see? I mean, there are still plenty of them out there, but you're kind of limited to those you might happen to run across and who generally live near to you. Even if there was art it was still informed by those same women and those lucky enough to see art of attractive people. Before mass media I suspect that our standards were probably lower just due to lack of exposure and less competition.

Hey, you can't spell "mass media" without "ass media," am I right?

But I agree totally. I have often argued that people never knew what hotness was until really pretty recently, the 40s or so maybe.

Quite true. In many ways being king wasn't even that great. You were still making your night soil in a cold stone privy at best and your main hotness attained her status because her breasts were roughly the same size and she was not ravaged by pox.

This further calls to mind that at one time sex was easier to procure than pornography by a significant margin. For many people the closest to pornography they would ever encounter would be a bawdy story down at the ale house.

Go read Quixote. You may as well charge windmills than remind yourself of the dire misery you subsist in.

IN WHICH YOU SUBSIST: BURN.

read aesop's timeless classics. the wisdom and knowledge and lessons contained within are still as pointed and true now as they were then. a must have for any fan of books.

good night friends,firstly i read some messages here and i wanna thank you scoot for your sincerity...

i wanna ask some questions to you,i hope you answer me

1- can i build my body like u in my home ? because i do kickboxing and it s so expensive sport.i m a student and so i mustn t go to gym

2- this is the most important question i want to do an action like u.when you lie down,you lift your legs and you sit up suddenly(sorry,my english not very well,i hope you understand).in my counrty,there not more people who do it and i try to do this action myself.

3-last question.do you suggest some foods to me ? for example before training,after training...?i m go to university for electrical engineerring and some times i can be tired.

thank you so much scott,i will continue to watch you

take care**8888**

When considering question 2, you have to be considerate of whether the subject is a man or a woman. The body's centre of gravity is different, and what may be an easy and effective motion for one may look foolish or fail for the other.
