...I think you just did.

so meta

Has there been a first post that hasn't been lamed into Hades?

Yep. Several. It's just when it knows it's first is when it gets lamed. For instance, it was once upon a time very high marks to have the first post be the alt text, back before the days when the alt text appeared on Acheworld. Look back to 03-04 for what are, in my opinion, the very best first posts.

Naturally, as I press the random button, I am given a strip from 2003 where Asherdan has the first post.

Should be noted that those strips were long before assetbar, so most the comments there are from diehard commenting on several year-old strips, as opposed to...well, what ever you'd call what we have here.

Them ain't diehards commenting on all the pre-Assetbar strips, they's dogg's leaving their marks, and it's a dogg-fight just like in the present, only in slow motion. (You ladies can be doggs too for this example.)

numberkillinger thinks inadvertently posting meta-responses merits a "whoops"

Tekende thinks that someone saying "whoops" merits a deadpan narration of the thought process behind this.

Holy crap, this is awesome.

achilleselbow presumably doesn't realize tekende is quoting an alt-text

tekende doesn't realize that achilleselbow has a vague recollection of the alt-text but was mainly continuing the meta-narrative, which is still being continued.

How will this exciting story end?

Ray will probably start a business soon.

This is the excellent end to the eggshelling metas. Eventually, Ray gets bored as tekende and achilleselbow get continually more meta. Then he starts a business.

earendil sums up the meta-text up to that point, presuming that is enough to stop people from posting meta-text. earendil is sadly mistaken.

Depending on the tuning of the Achewood Assetbar machine, it might be a brilliant use of some strip with Beef's text replaced with something to tie it all together. More likely though, it will end with someone pledging their undying love for clits.

Stroking the love button to manuever the lust browser is meta-fun, and should be a business by Ray.

You'd be late for your own crucifixion.

Jesus was always crazy.
Instead of getting rid of the truck like he was supposed to, he got stoned, went to his girlfriend's, and when he woke up, the cops had found the truck. It was all over the television. They even said they'd come up with prints from the wheel. It was only a matter of time before they got to Jesus.

Chubbied for the use of a Puerto Rican/Mexican/Black/Accurate depiction of Gee-Whizz.

I doubt the dreds are particularly historically accurate. Still preferable to blue eyes and blonde hair and white skin, though.

Don't worry Skraddles. Jebus is actually a Christian Jamaican singer that Sony "invented" to cash in on and offer a more middle American palatable version of Matisyahu.

Lo! If there were more chubbies, they would be yours!

V Chub converted to real chub.

God, Matisyahu. If he wan't Jewish you know what he'd be? Snow.

My favorite thing about Snow was his albums name: 12 inches of Snow. Well, besides "Informer," I liked that too. Leave me alone I was 12.

hahaha. Yeah, I, uh...I mean, really, can we be honest here for a minute? "Informer," though it made no sense and was pretty cheesy, is actually a pretty catchy and kind of enjoyable song.

I dislike aggreeing with you here tekende. I had to make that clear. I really dislike my enjoyment of that song. That says something about me.

is that Brad Neely's murder horse as your avatar?

For posterity... it was. He would like to know the whereabouts of his birthday cake.

no offence nickgranger, it actually wasn't a particularly awful first post. I'm just..i'm just working through some issues right now..

I thought it was a bit sucky, personally. Could bode better if it were down the page, but not up there.

Gotta bring yo fuckin' A-game when you post first.

Lots of failed first posts lately. Lots of em.

I know.
I'm sorry.
I just got so excited.

Apology accepted. Now what was the darn strip about?

it was a bit sucky, just not y'know, full blown sucky. so to speak.

Teodor's eyebrows tell this story.

A comment left by powderfinger was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Hipjiverobot, jollysaintpete, mania3, nutmeg)

I think this is what they call "plot development."

Yeah exactly Mr. Teal didn't kill him at all; he was just setting Cornelius up, see.

I'm of the opinion that it wasn't Mr. Teal at all; it was, in fact, the elusive boffin. This entire time he had us thinking he was sleeping on a mattress filled with chopped cork, when he was in fact plotting the eventual arrest of one Cornelius Bear.

But ... Cornelius had Mr. Teal set to the default ... so if anything, Mr. Teal should have appeared as the "helper" app. My guess is that The Publican guessed what Mr. Teal was up to, and in a classic reversal, Cornelius was about to bury Mr. Teal, all screaming in silence upon the 5-1/4" floppy, banging his little wings against the sector walls.

I too think Mr Teal is on the floppy, but I think it may have been a desperate bid for freedom.

Mr. Teal = Wintermute?

Does that make Cornelius Case or Molly?

The more important question is, is Neuromancer the publican or the boffin?

Case, definitely. We have to wait for further information before making a statement regarding Neuromancer.

By the by, Molly is, quite obviously, Molly. Just you wait.

This makes sense, because Beef is really the only one i can envision as Case.

Actually i'm pretty sure the Boffin is Neuromancer.

The Boffin will only work with you if you're good enough to find him. Clearly he's Dixie Flatline.

Damn! Right on.

So, that makes the police officer Wage, right?

Who is Lupus Yonderboy in this little scenario

it's never Lupus.

i wanna know who maelcum is, that dude was awesome.

Oh my God the boffin was totally Neuromancer, I am vindicated as a motherfucker.

cornelius is definitely playing more of a turner part in this deal. commando outfit and everything.

Desperate bid? More like convoluted plot. Think about it, where did they say they were uploading the disk? Teal could cause a lot of trouble from the FBI computer.

Particularly if he got onto that 'virtual' computer they keep the kiddie porn on. J Edgar Hoover did NOT prepare for that scenario.

Maybe Mr. Teal planned the whole thing, evacuating himself onto a floppy, knowing that Cornelius would destroy the computer, and therefore the publican, once he found he had been betrayed?

. . shit, I'm kinda baked. Did that make sense?

It's obvious that Mr. Teal had told the police that this "Nolan" character was going to be at a certain place at a certain time. He uploaded himself onto the diskette knowing that the police would take it. I'd even go so far as to think that Teal knew that the police would get him to the FBI's computer.

Mr. Teal is a dark, dark, character. I fear the worst for cornelius.

Or Mr. Teal suicided.

yes, Cornelius's slight against honey was too much for Mr. Teal to bear, drastic action was needed

Was that a pun.

i am impressed with everything about you.

Ray was totally fronting when he told Nolan he was gonna die.

Has Ray... not gotten things done?

Do I dare speak such blasphemy?

Ray has gotten it done. His people do their job right. The Police have no idea about Nolan's "Death Relationship".

This is what I suspect.

I think Mr. Teal will feel the cold, hard smack of a cricket bat when Ray sorts this all out.

Ray was threatening Nolan. He just wanted him to back off. He may have gone through with it if the threat hadn't worked. Why would he call Nolan and tell him about the hit if not to scare him?

If Ray had the decency to become a dentist after saying it in his blog, I doubt he'd lie about something like this. Especially because it's so much easier.

Oh yes, Ray tried to kill Nolan. He thought Nolan was dead.
But Nolan is the amalgamation of all dark corners of mankind's society. He is every dreaded, shameful place the human consciousness can venture gathered into a single being. He is not bound by your petty laws of sanity or morality, and moves through your cages of inhibition like smoke. And in this boundless, shameless potential lies power. You can't kill him.

YOU CAN'T KILL NOLAN.

YES YES YES. That is exactly what I was thinking because I have been watching Twin Peeks for the past couple of weeks.

"Twin P ee ks" sounds like a $2 local peep show that specialises in big knockers. Or dwarf twins. Or conjoined twins. With big knockers.

There actually is a sports bar chain called "Twin Peaks". I've seen billboards.

For now.

Can someone please tell me where to obtain a Victorian tinnitus cap?

You got a time machine? Or an eBay Platinum account?

a special Victorian tinnitus cap, not just an everyday-wear one.

Fun with Google mishaps!
Searching for 'Tinnitus Hat', I was getting nothing but German sites.
I was all like 'damn, the Germans got hella hearing problems',
until I remembered some basic German, and realized they were just saying "Tinnitus has"... So now I am further from the truth, and I have also shamed my heritage, and now my ears hurt from the ringing ...

Old people are always so wistful about basic stuff.

I just realized that Theodore and Cornelius are of the same species.

Maybe I have dementia!

Is stuffed animal a species?

Ursus Effertus.

clever latin joke, my friend.

i gave you a chubby because i don't think anyone else knows latin.

I got the Ursa = bear part. Is Efferta latin for stuffed?

If you also teach me how to say get , I promise I will start speaking latin.

Knowing Latin is nonsense, I've taken it for five years and still can't say a damn thing without consulting somewhere.

I thought he was a dog. I thought Orezcu was some type of dog.

I feel like I have taken the red pill.

I thought most of them were dogs. Then I read more than one strip.

For quite some time I used to think that Ray was a bulldog.

He does not really look like a cat.

Perhaps he had his ears done.

I believe he is a Scottish Fold, but I can't find any reference to it in the strips.

American Curl, I think.

Ooops! Sorry. He is an American Curl: https://achewood.com/raysplace.php?date=08262003&allnav=1

And for the url challenged, here is the quote from Ray's blog, with fresh links to the two breeds:

What breed of cat are you? We're betting on Scottish Fold, because of your ear shape. I'm looking into cat ownership %u2014 excuse me, companionship %u2014 in the near future and I want a cat just like you.
Hell's Kitchen

Dear Hell%u2019s Kitchen,

Registered CFA two-time national Grand Champion, at that! American Curls are known for having a generally amiable disposition, but we can really bring sack if the situation calls for it.

SCREW YOU, QUOTE MARKS. FUCK YOU!

PLEASE! Please.

Let's keep the order of things.

Now imagine sunglasses, a gold medallion, and a thong.


Also of interest, the Wikipedia entry states the breed originated from "Lakewood, California" .

Also, they are a breed that was pretty much invented after some breeders found a stray cat that looked cool and bred those qualities.

This idea of street comin' good just by being street suits Ray so much it's bizarre.

With posts like this I sometimes wonder if you ARE a Doctor. What is your speciality? LIFE?

It is amazing that the guy managed to type "American Curl" into both Google Image Search and Wikipedia.

I only have my bachelor's in LIFE-

(Kept forgetting that wikipedia is dot org on the final exam)

to get a doctorate in life you have to come to the realisation that the internet is the antithesis of life.

He printed his Doctorate from Google Image Search after finding out on Wikipedia that this is the practice of many forum goers. The article is about Shame.

Hmm, there may be fewere stuffed dogs than we think. So many live ones, I guess, while the bear got the cuddly thing down, strangely enough, since real bears will rip your face off for fun.

Teodor and Cornelius are both stuffed bears, but Cornelius is the only one whose last name is also his species? Maybe it's because he's so old?

Anyways everyone always talks about how little Ray looks like a cat, but the most surprising thing is that Lyle is a tiger.

Thomas Mann's last name betrays his species and gender; Sylvia Plath's does neither.

As for the Lyle not looking like a tiger thing: you're totally right. Lyle is definitely the oddest looking of the bunch...for the longest time I thought his jaw was his constantly-open mouth.

Wait a minute. Isn't Lyle a stuffed tiger? I don't think he's a real tiger, or he'd be three times everyone else's size, and all the cats would be dinner. Funny thing is I'm not sure. Achewood scholars please comment...

Yup, Lyle is an alive stuffed animal, Tiger species.
Teodore and Cornelius, stuffed bears.
Phillipe, stuffed otter.
All the rest, alive cats, etc.

Thanks, yeah. That's what I thought. Phillipe too. Real otters are so messy.

I showed my teacher the geometry strip;

So demented

Until you are most dementedest you are ever being?

Vlad plucks, nut from basket...

Jesus, Connie can't do anything these days without everyone thinking he's gone senile.

I've noticed that too. He's never done anything to suggest it, but everyone keeps jumping to that conclusion.

I think the last time that was assumed, though, was during the Volvo of Despair arc. When two dudes are driving around in Trent Reznor's car, they can't be expected to think clearly.

Dancing T-Rex, you dance so much!

And check it out. When Teodor says " he started to dig his own grave but he got so demented that he must have wandered off! ", the facts that he was digging a grave and that he became demented are straight up statements of fact. The only thing close to acknowledging speculation is that he "must" have wandered off.

aw, that BASF floppy brings back memories of the old apple ii/e. I'm so annoyed I gave that thing away in 1997.

Aztec, Swashbuckler, Zaxxon, The Dragon's Eye, B.C.

I am so old school I keep my porn on cassette tape so I can load it to my VIC-20

I am curious as to how much filth one can expect to cram onto a 1.44Mb floppy disk? Homelessness can now be placed beneath the chipped-potato on the list of great British inventions.

Must be ASCII child porn.

great minds...

I'm really glad your link pointed to you saying the exact same thing yesterday, and not actual ASCII child porn. I waited until I was alone in my office before I clicked it just to make sure.

I'm glad you clarified, because, not being a pedophile , I wasn't going to click on it myself otherwise!

hi everyone I'm new on this board. This page came up in my Hot Bot search results I was wondering if anyone here has any good ASCII porn movies.
Thanks,

you have gone from dodgy new contributor to consistent awesome in like two days. great job!

I've always been unorthodox, and I've wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn't feel it, but this time I feel it, and I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!

no but seriously, I laughed my ass off at this comment for days. I dunno why, but confusing and surprising people can just be funny sometimes. I think the best comedy can't be planned and can't be on purpose, but just is the work of a highly energentic and demented... uh... weirdo or something. I'm not saying all good comedy - I'm just saying the creme de la creme. Would I settle for consistent okay comedy - sure - it would make an okay career. Hell... imagine being able to do a comic strip like, say, Cathy or Marmaduke... Or imagine owning like, a generic dog food factory... you don't have to do anything, and the royalties just keep rolling in. HEll you can accidentally ship rat poison in a lot of cat food, and you won't even see a blip in sales. After the scandal blows over, the companies you supply just change generic brand names and it's business as usual.

In conclusion, am I the only one who wonders what kind of drugs Onstad must be smoking to so consistently produce this genius? It's like the dude grew up in pre-war Hell's Kitchen, while the rest of us mostly grew up in like, 1980s white middle glass cookie-cutter suburbia. Now how the hell am I supposed to compete with lived experience like whatever some genius comic like Onstad has when I grew up in such circumstances? Well wait... I guess maybe suburbia did instill a certain madness in me... but still.. I may have my moments, but they are few and far between. Really I need to change my environment. Maybe I could move to Baghdad or something.

You over-explained it! Comedy is the man behind the curtain. Don't be a Toto, dude.

Also, Onstad may or may not do drugs, but if he does I doubt it is anything exotic like an Ayahuasca compote (read: probably it is basic common garden variety marry-wanna).

Basically he is cultured and well-read (College!). That is not the most amazing thing in the world. You can be from white suburbia and be those things. All you need to do is be aware of the world around you, have a curious and open mind, and remember things.

Most people are not aware of the world, have lazy minds, and forget shit. To quote the man himself, "beats me why most dudes suck."

Not saying Onstad isn't a genius, 'cause he is, but he's not necessarily off his rocker or, conversely, huddled in his rocker tripping balls on laudanum.

V-chub (I'm out of real ones for this page), and how odd it muts be for an artist to be examined in detail like this -- or maybe it's fun, I don't know. But you apparently know your psychoactive substances, and the DEA will be tracing your posts from now on, thank you Homeland Security!

Real chub for vee-chub! And fear not Homeland Security; I post from within that bastion of fuzzy-headed liberalism, Canada!

I actually have only done illegal drugs 3 times in my life; most of my knowledge is book learnin' :(

To conclude: I don't jive with intentional fallacy at all, man.

V-chub for "bastion of fuzzy-headed liberalism." Oh Canada! And how's that socialized medicine workin' for ya?

As for drugs, the only one I'd still risk is the ganja weed, mon. All those pills cojuld be something else (although every thinking person should trip at least once on the best acid they can find. X, too)

Maybe you don't have to live somewhere interesting. Maybe you could have an IMAGINATION!!!!z0r

5 1/4 disks held only 1.2MB, I think.

Yes, indeed. In 1989, I had an Epson with both formats of floppy drive installed, and charged people a buck per disk to move data from 5.25-in 360/1.2 floppies to 3.5-inch 720/1.44 diskettes. They had to bring the diskettes, too. Sometimes if they pissed me off, I say, "Well, you only brought me 720K format 3.5 floppies, so this is gonna cost you twice as much." I tell you, I paid for that Espon ($1400) with this! Times were RAW! (It helped that I had a program that could read AppleII file formats and duop them into DOS -- except binary files, of course.)

digital suicide note

I v-chub you very hard.

Who knew that stuffed bears went to the woods to die. All of the stuffed animals I had as a child died when a family dog discovered that special, secret, happy things were inside them.

I guess from a certain point of view I failed all of those stuffed animals, by not letting them die close to nature. Sorry dudes.

Sitting demented is sad. Sitting in a creek is sad. An alive stuffed animal sitting demented in a creek is the saddest thing.

And Charles Mingus knows a thing or two about sad.

He is a man who spent time to teach his cat to use a throne. There is always a bit of sadness in such patience.

Oh dear god. No number of chubbies can properly express my cognitive dissonance, especially since I primarily know that tune from A Zed and Two Noughts .

When he said "Let nature take its course," I had no idea what the shit he meant. I thought maybe he assumed Cornelius was going several miles away and into the wilderness to go to the bathroom or, since he brought the computer, possibly to masturbate?

Going deep into the woods to masturbate speaks of a shame far worse than Pat's "attending a series of lectures in a nearby town" and then renting the motel rooms on either side of yours for absolute privacy.

Ugh, imagine trying to cheer your dangle with the Publican in the background on your screen.

*Probably should be arses, just to be colloquial.

You arse right.

If somebody else started using spinynorman's avatar, would they be lamed on every single post?

I could never lame Stephen Fry.

I thought 'nature take it's course' meant the bathroom too. That, as a bear, the big deal was that he actually going to shit in the woods.

All the terrible comics out there who would make that kind of joke are polluting my interpretative abilites.

With deuce humour.

Although Cornelius has proven himself time and again to be one of the hardest dudes in Achewood, he still seems to get pegged an awful lot as the guy who will go in the woods and let himself die, or cry and mess himself if he is out in the city without supervision.
Dang.

"Let himself die?" I envision it more like the end of Terminator 2: Cornelius standing out in the woods, slowly sinking into the earth with an impassionate countenance as Mother Nature reclaims her glorious creation.

Im goin off of what Teodor is sayin. We all know that when Cornelius goes there'll be trumpets of nature to see him off, but they dont see it as such.

No, he should go to his pub and do like Mr. Magoriam.

Oh good - I was worried you were going to say the Terminator 2 "holding onto the chain link fence" death.

And he gives a thumbs-up to the audience as he dies.

I think Mr. Teal and the Publican actually were out to get rid of the Boffin. Or that Mr. Teal was actually committing suicide himself.

I'm pretty sure this is Mr. Teal's revenge for the whole honey thing.

No: this is Mr Teal's revenge for being made to look like a turd.

Whatever the case I believe the Shrovis-Bishopthorpe software to be slightly problematic.

Actually S-B software is pretty typical. Have you tried Vista? It has a fiber optic link to Homeland Security. Don't piss it off.

Nearly all traffic on the phone and Internet is carried on fiber optic csbles, so it makes no sense to say that Vista has a fiber optic link to anything.

They were digging at Cornelius's favorite camping spot, presumably NOT a spot selected by Mr. Teal. Doesn't that mean that either the cops tailed him from the house (bad tradecraft, that) or that Nolan is not the one who set it up?

I love how the Victorian tinnitus cap hook gleams to display the absence of the hat. Like it is screaming the removal of its longtime friend.

I enjoy the detail of that hook. The thin, gently curving lines, the little radiating marks that indicate it is gleaming as though freshly polished, and the subtle perspective of the squares that attach it to the wall, all let you know that it is a fine, fine hook.

A hook like that takes time to craft. Like a British laptop.

All qwerty on the right side of tke keyboard

*the.

Not just plot development, but canon development. From what Téodor says here, we can begin to piece together some more facts about the manner in which the anthropomophicised animals live. Here, it is insinuated that in the past, before some relevant turning point, the bears and cats did indeed live as though they were simply comparatively mindless animals.

Also, they must send the disk to be opened on a special "virtual" computer. I smell... corruption.

Also, and feel free to correct me, but I think this is the first time that Cornelius and Teodor have even been acknowledged as the same species.

It's the kind of moment that makes me all tingly.

Wetting one's knickers most often comes from laughter, but of course, fear could be a factor, as could being very drunk, both of which could also be funny in retropsect.

I was implying that I was sexually aroused by Cornelius and Teodor being acknowledged as the same species.

It's big of you to admit this, margargaret.

I have nothing better to do.

Wait, you were actually referring to being aroused?

Well then, the subtle innuendo of my last comment is pretty redundant, I guess.

It was in fact not funny. That is why it is so far away.

My feelings on this asset are neu.

That's really not funny anymore.

I think it was pretty funny back in 1998, maybe.

Damn, man! Yes! Yes! Old school!
OLD School!

The plot thickens.

I love Ray's expression in the last panel. Is he that sad because of what happened to Mr. Bear, or because he has to listen to the Publican? Probably a little of both.

Man, this strip made me all nostalgic missing those silly little floppy discs with their silly meager storage space. Poppin' one of those babies in used to basically be a party.

Oh man, totally, I mean I'd play Moraff's Revenge and Caverns of Kroz till the cows came home. It was so a party.

Later, Publican drowns Mr. Teal in a pint of Real Ale, all the while shouting loudly about the Poles.

The cops better watch out. Cornelius knows fifteen ways to steal a man's soul simply by sipping cognac. Cornelius is who Chuck Norris calls when he's in a situation he can't handle.

You are making a grave error!

As long as they don't slip him tequila he should be good.

now that is old school

Your avatar looks like my grandmother. Shit be frighteningly old school.

Putting Chuck Norris into a statement does mot automatically make it funny. Quit it you!

Speaking of Chuck Norris, he apparently got pissed when he found out that students in my school were handing out condoms that said "Chuck Norris always wears a condom. Otherwise, people would die." The students were forced to destroy the condoms.

This is the kind of Chuck Norris fact I can get behind.

Oh, shit. He's going to be really pissed when he finds out what I've been doing on my Total Gym.

.......jizzing on it? Is that where you're going with that statement?

Having protected sex on it.

paperboy_2000 has invited you on a trip to ImaginationLand!

This deserves a chubby. I'm glad I've been ultra-selective on this strip.

I, too, was glad.

Norris style is when you do it hell of unprotected on a Total Gym. As you orgasm, you cry out HUCKABEE 08!

Why would a new British laptop have a 5.25 floppy drive installed? It's getting hard to get any floppy action on a new computer, and they have one of those?

Is that just how Britannia rolls?

Gettin' hard to get floppy huh? Sounds like a personal problem EH?? EH??

No. Lame please.

On my first read I thought you said "no lames please." I wish you had, just to see how effective that would be.

Let's go for it.

All lames, no chubbies, no backsies, double stamp.

OMFG, the second I hit reply, I realised I said all lames and not all chubbies.

Noooooo!!!

That shit was old approximately ten seconds after I saw the video the first time.

I was introduced to that video by Digg, so I'm still under the impression that it was somehow more proof of a 9/11 conspiracy.

It has become part of the collective humor bank, and I'll bet few people even know the incident was at UF in the first place. It don't matter nohow.

Next time, think before you act! Senator Kerry was right to have you tasered, bro.

I'm having a hard time understanding why I'm getting barraged with lames...

I'm out of lames DAMMIT

I had one to spare.

Nah, I deserve it.

Come on, big money, no whammies!

No Chubbies, No Ignore User, Lames Only, FINAL DESTINATION!

Pit is so top tier.

In panel 9 it looks like Ray is handing T an invisible baby.

tossin the baby around like a football, even!

Oh Cathy

Your repetition makes me reconsider my initial understanding of the phrase. You have co-opted its meaning for less than wholesome purposes.

verily

What? What's its original meaning? I don't understand.

Yeah, would someone please enlighten me too?

Die hard? The opposite of dying easy, I guess. Maybe a pun on the Bruce Willis action flicks, "Die Hard in the Woods!"

Oh, wait, alt-text, yeah.

OHHHhhhh. Whoops!

tekende thinks that failing to identify a phrase from the alt text merits...

Oh crap, this is exactly what he wanted!

achilleselbow has fallen right into my cleverly designed trap, albeit with complete awareness of having done so.

This is...this is so meta, it's like...ameta.

As in, "it's so meta that it has in doing so become the absence of meta".

*reads comment thread*

drskradley has just elaborated on- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Yes. I couldn't think of what word would be the opposite of meta, so I couldn't do a "this is so bad it's almost good" type thing, you know? Except meta instead of bad.

The opposite of "meta" is obviously "fuck."

The prefix "sub" works in most cases I think.

Oh, that would have been good.

Too late now, muthafucka.

I think manflesh is the only user here whose every post deserves both a chubby AND a lame.

It's never only one of each.

It depends on your definitions of both, really.

I might just be me, but this feels like one of those storylines that end with someone getting shot. Probably Roast Beef, somehow.

Why would Beef get shot? I get that Achewood uses some pretty heavy non-sequiters in the strip, but think about it, name a character that HASN'T died yet.

Definitely T or Cornelius are meeting their end at the end of this arc. Connie HAS died already, but he never went to heaven or hell, so maybe he will finally meet up with his wife again in a "What Dreams Will Come"-esque arc.

Beef just seems to get shot a lot, is all.

You can't say that until we see the roller skate.

Roller Skate, slayer of thousands, shatterer of worlds.

I am reminded of 8-inch floppies by reading this. When I was 8 or 9, my buddy's dad paid me and him to rip up all of the old carpet from an office building he was renovating. There was hell of old computer equipment there that was being junked. Since it was all being trashed anyway, and we had basically no deadline and nothing else to do, we spent about 2 weeks breaking old 8-inch floppy drives and smashing useless CRT monitors. Throwing monitors out of a second-story window into a dumpster is AWESOME when you're a kid.

The oddest things are magical when you're young.

I think throwing CRTs out of tall building is one of those things that, were it a board game, would be marked "for ages 8 to 108".

The smashing glass, the twisting of printed silicon, the gentle swish of an imploding vacuum... those are magical at all ages.

It's really not so gentle. The glass shatters and implodes with so much force that it bounces back off of it's self in all directions at a high rate of velocity . It's good you didn't try to smash them with a hammer or anything flazisismuss.

In other news, if those are metal tweezers they are holding the floppy with, they could potentially erase parts of the disk. 3.25 floppies were relatively hard to erase in this manner, but 5 1/2 inch floppies were super sensitive to magnetic fields .

I hit one with a hatchet; glass went everywhere but it was one of the more beautiful moments of my life.

I also had the joy of throwing a CRT and a wardrobe off a six story drop. Splinters, a glorious fountain of them...

Dead Air.

"It's good you didn't try to smash them with a hammer or anything flazisismuss."

I thought you were using "flazisismuss" as an adjective. I was momentarily confused.

Same. I even googled it for the chance to learn a word that could stump my English teacher.

We were just geeky enough at 8 or 9 to understand the physics of breaking glass encasing a vacuum, and I was certainly cowardly enough to not want to hazard the chance of flying glass. Later, we shot such monitors with shotguns, so we could see and hear the glass shattering.

It makes me feel sad for the kids. What with all the LCD and Plasma stuff - this generation may never know the simple joy of shooting CRT monitors in the desert with shotguns or throwing them from second story windows.

The kind of game where when you hit 109 you're all "SHIT I hate this now."

Life is this kind of game.

v-chubby

How did we get onto Greeks, Keith? I think Teodor must have asked him, "Have you seen Cornelius? He's left home and we think he may have been led to wander off into the woods by Psychosis."

Oh now this is very clever, yes!

Thank you for the appreciation, scary tweety bird.

There are other places to go on the internet, you know. Have you tried those?

Don't be a dick, blueloggy. Just because assetbar has gone downhill in the past couple days doesn't mean we should give up and go elsewhere. We should try to fix it.

Fix what? You don't like total BB democracy, you can leave is all blueloggy is saying. No monitors here except your own common sense and lack of taste.

I love total BB democracy. I think khailautomatic's comment is basically his way of voting. The system of chubbies, lames, and yes, comments themselves, is designed to provide communication and feedback in the community. But blueloggy says "No, don't vote. Move to a country where everyone agrees with you."

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!

It is mainly a problem of volume. I problem which I am exacerbating by posting this.

True, it must be murder on those without broadband connections. Two-three hundred bits of blather with little funny icons can take forever to load, and longer to read. Perhaps God-stad will cause a Great BB Flood.

Love it or leave it, duuuude.

The hap-haps are truly funereal, man m' man.

this made me realize bein in the FBI is the perfect job for a guy who likes child pornography... all just examining the evidence with impunity.

Yup, and all shrinks are crazy!

They HATE it when you put that on your application form though.

It's comments like yours that keep the V-Chub economy flowing. Keep it up.

Oh. You didn't know that.

The plot thickens!

Cops would so have towed the car, taken the computer and the shovel. Achewood is losing its REALISM, man!

Achewood is it's own reality... Like a Twilight Zone episode... where everything else is normal, except for the cops don't take cars and shovels into evidence! Okay, not exactly everything else is normal... far from it... but you see what I mean. What would make for a Twilight Zone episode on Achewood TV? Maybe our own reality, over here on the other side of the wall.

If I'm not mistaken, he was trying to put an acute accent on the "e". Which is just straight up wrong as anything anyway.

The sight of his friend carrying on a conversation with a bag of flowers saddens Matthew Perry.

Goddamnit. I knew I should have tried harder with that balloon.

It's 10:00 PM... Do you know on which diskette your children are?

They are safely zipped up in bed hehe :):)

If not, ask Nolan

These days, some parents'll even sign and encrypt their kids before they let them out of the house. That's just sad.

this is what happens when the first law of assistance is broken.

I'm getting a little worried that someone will rip off the Mr. Teal mask and reveal Lie Bot.

The British may have invented homelessness, but by golly, we Californians perfected it.

This is an unexpected development!

I'm just a simple caveman. Your modern technology like computers and shovels frightens me! My primitive brain doesn't know how children can be inside a thin square of plastic. But I do know this: if the proper evidentiary chain of custody is not fully documented the bear cannot be held liable for the contents of that diskette!

Hartman references are rad .

Catgrl you utter villain. Every damn time I've scrolled past that post I've thought that my computer hasn't loaded a picture and that the rest of the comments were to do with this, thus ultimately excluding me from the joke until I figure out what said picture was.

I only just got it and I'm not happy and I don't care if the fact I didn't get it wasn't your fault

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You owe John Cage money, catgrl.

How odd that no one ever took the name "achewood" before.

If you think about it an old Teddy Bear is a perfect host body for a paedophile.

:(

i like how you imply that paedophile is a roving spirit, having the capacity to possess - such as a poltergeist.

GIVE ME THE POWER I BEG OF YOU

heeheehee!

I like how you imply they don't.

Crapsnack, I can't chubby this entire conversation. V-Chubs all 'round.

Some clever soul must make a Photoshop of a 70's pulp horror comic book cover featuring the tales of the Paedophile Spirit

Freaking excellent. Not at all what I imagined, but the stuff of nightmares no less. My kudos and vchubs to you and your kin.

I'm so glad you came back to find it, drskradley-
It wasn't perfect, but the New York Times quote at the top made it.. ehem.. hard to resist.

I wish I had scaled it a bit smaller, though--some may miss out on the "oooh la la" elements on the right-hand side...

On a side note, check out the original ... those "elves" has swastikas on them!! WTBFH?

...And you took the swastikas off? I see reasons for both decisions, as the Nazi symbols could either add to the ridiculousity or distract from the intended joke.

Bonus points for using Comic Sans there. That cranks the nausea-dial from "uncomfortable stomach flutter" all the way up to "screaming bilious eructation".

Crapsnack? Fantastic.

Ray is disappointed that the last thing he has to remember his friend by are the biased opinions of a virtual British publican.

Oliver Twist is a testament to the British inventing homelessness.

Ray rarely explicitly acknowledges he is a cat. But then, I rarely acknowledge that I am a human.

Achewood, like all future societies, is populated by multiple species of fully self-aware beings. In that context it is normal and healthy to be aware of one's specie-hood. This is in highly ironic contrast to humanity's current situation: the false multi-specie-hood of race and/or religion.

The future society in "Cars" is occupied only by cars

That's pretty weird.

They never address it the entire movie! Who made the cars? Did humans make them and then die out? Did they die of pollution from their own automotive creations? Or did some big old heavenly Mercedes Benz create the cars with sentience, but give them technology suited for humans? And why did Owen Wilson try to kill himself?

The Irate Turk: I HAVE ALREADY CONFIRMED MY BIRTH DATE
The Irate Turk: EVERY FUCKING TIME
The Irate Turk: WHAT THE FUCK, YOUTUBE

The cars make each other, I'm pretty sure. You had "The King," and "Mrs. The King." You had cute little Miatas with the hots for Lightning. I don't think I need to draw you a picture. Deeper cosmology was not addressed any more than in the typical human-based romantic comedy.

Also, there are insects, but they are also (tiny) cars.

You defend children's movies a lot, don't you? I like that about you.

I pretty much enjoy all things Pixar.

I think you do need to draw us a picture, before someone on a Japanese website does.

People obviously want to think that their cars can nail each other. That much is a given.

I used my last chubby on the comment directly above yours. So your own reward will have to be one of these nw-fangled "V-Chubbs".

I view Cars as the real sequel to The Matrix , like 50,000 years after Morpheus and his pathetic crew have been completely rounded up and converted to batteries

That's pretty weird awesome.

i repeatedly view achewood at such a high volume that i require a tinnitus cap

I'd just like to take a moment to give a virtual chubby to the new banner ad for The Great Outdoor Fight . Such delicious italics. Such lovely DIN.

Who here is gonna buy it? *raises hand*

I pre-ordered it. Yaay!

Wait, why would he bother going into the forest to die if he was just going to bury himself anyway?

Because that's what bears do, dummy.

that ray pout in the last panel is almost the same shameful pout he gave to beef when beef caught him looking at girls sitting on birthday cakes.

I bet Mr. Teal and the Publican conspired and filled the diskette with kiddie porn, then tipped off the cops.

it would be a lot of work, but, if a person posted a .jpg that they had hosted somewhere, and that .jpg was just a picture of their comment, well, then, they could edit their comment later on simply by editing the .jpg. One day, when I learn php and stuff, I'll make a web site that lets you type in a comment and then automatically converts it into a .jpg and hosts it for you and spits out the url to it on your screen, properly formatted in BB code and everything.

I know people will think this is lame, but really, come on, give me a break. This is so far beyond lame... it's pathological.

I actually thought the same after seeing hamscouts post as well. patho-buddies! *high-five*

Great idea! - And now I'm going to go back and edit that post, to make it look like I had that idea FIRST!
*maniacal laugh* /fills diskette with paed-porn

The secret is to treat a crappy very low profile strip as your sandbox :):)

heh.

I know that this is the incorrect response, but I just sort of like the publican. He's an irreverent lil' scamp, isn't he!

ps i made this comment only to make the person above me look silly. is that wrong? am i turning into a guy who cares about the internet too much?

No, I am.

*LAST POST!!!*

She was managing to do that just fine by herself.

I lamed you for this post, but it was not warranted as the post itself was not bad. However, I feel you need a lame for being part of this Last Post thing we've got going here, which I feel is a bit lame. Not horrible, and I certainly see the childish fun of it - just kinda lame. The justness of laming for this reason is arguable, and will be (and has been!) debated with no end.

I'm a joy-killer, I know.

I thought it was funny the first time, but not when hamscout tried to do it again.

agreed.
I just thought it was another of those escalating hands-up-the-bat kind of threads...
This will be my last post tonight, as I lame myself to sleep...

Both wrong. Only the lastwhiteman can be... last.

I agree.

I never could identify with Ray Smuckles. Then, I learned he was as enthusiastic about the idea of old teddy bears going off into the woods to die as I was.

Whoops, did I accidentally turn the conversation here toward relevance? Sorry, everybody. Please continue doing whatever you were doing before I wandered in.

And now I'm afraid that the above post looks sarcastic. I assure you it is not.

God damn Assetbar telling me I have to be nice to people and not allowing me to lame them anymore. God damn it right in the face

V-lamed

I know I'm convinced.

WHoever draws these, is a genius. They are great. Love the characters.

Nobody draws these.

they draw themselves

I'm glad I saved a chubby. Also, I want to read a new strip. I guess I could go eat lunch...

Kiddie porn seems a little tame for Nolan.

Well, he is a kittie. I think.

Child porn for cats does indeed center around human young, largely the bizarre fetish of falling asleep on their faces.

talking all wistful about basic stuff like sounds...

wow, whats more basic than sound?

No sound.

Someone needs to get working on the hierarchy of the senses, from most basic to most complex, right now.

From basic to most complex

Smell
Hearing

I have wistfully clicked on the RSS feed for Achewood at least a million times today.

Me too...

I hope he doesn't update the website for about 3 weeks. We'd all be so owned lol!

:(

If that happened this page would probably end up with well over 3000 comments.

He said he would update at noon, and I trust Onstad to keep his word.
The question is, however, noon where

Dudes never do what they say they're going to do, though.

West Coast, dude. Pacific Daylight.

Schw33t that is awesome. I was worried I might hafta wait another day.

If this happens I could auction some of my unused chubbies and lames on eBay and we could use the proceeds to set up a Free Cornelius campaign, not too dissimilar to the Sun's Free Deidre one. United, we can steer the ship through these turbulent waters.

I love how Ray raises his arms in panel 9. Is he going to embrace T for their species' shared approach to old age, or is he copying Teodor's gestures to symbolize their similarity? Panel 10 would suggest the latter.

Ray's in his Talking to Todd position in Panel 11. [i]I know him.[i/]
