Friday Facts - Ray Came Over Friday, April 13, 2007 • read strip Viewing 94 comments:

I am a big fan of Kid Cusses. I am somewhat incredulous at his omission of "applesauce", however, as Philippe has personally used that to great effect in the past.

I hate when things in my body "just let it all hang loose."

His chubby:lame ratio disagrees.

Nonsense!

How good is mental image that this one creates... you kinda just know everyone was baked and drunk in front of the kid.

Applesauce should have been included - although I think my flatmate has the onions

I think "peanutbeans" and "applesauce" are synonymous.

PS. I have the onions.

Holy christ the only anagram of "peanutbeans" is "bent ape anus!"

Naw, "applesauce" is a substitute for "bullshit".

Applesauce is 20s slang for nonsense, guys

Aw, banana-oil!

Any thoughts on what the dog barking thing is supposed to be?

i think he's mixing his metaphors (my dogs are barking= my feet are tired) in an adorable, philippine way.

Chubby for the invention of the adjective "Philippine".

Are we now calling his fans Phillippinos?

That is exactly what we are doing now.

Stop being such a tush head, Frederick.

UNCOOL, ROWBOAT.

You know I prefer "Freddie."

I thought it might have something to do with "catcalls". Does that make sense?

Dogs also bark when they're really happy or excited. That's what I think this is.

I think he's mixing up "She's so pretty, she'll give a dog a bone!"

Alt text on the main page is "Not sure what the barking dog slang is a substitute for."

Beef gets a little crazy with the Ctrl B when he's puzzled up purple.

Ray's quote upon entering the house is classic. This really conveys what would basically have otherwise been one or two strips, except through the lens of Philippe, which = awesome.

Anyone else wondering who L.B. is? I'm wondering if it isn't Liz, Chris wife, and suddenly I feel I've entered a sort of stalker territory :(

Lie Bot?

So, who else added Roast Beef's new AIM handle to their buddy list?

It was definitely considered

I LOVE Philippe's Friday Facts. Keep doing them forever.

Don't you hate the sort of person who poops with the door open at Thanksgiving?

A computer *is* a box where decisions are made

DiSaGrEeMeNt BoX!

Look at how concerned he is about seeing a rodent!

I love Philippe forever.

a RODENT!

Oh god your avatar

There is ALWAYS a reason to be tired of Tom Cruise

I did not know that ponies were an entirely separate type of horse. This is news to me.

Wow, I was embarassed for Onstad at admitting that, since it samed so obvious to me. But maybe that's just because I'm female, and as such went through the stereotypical horse fixation at a young age?

What's a baby horse?!

colt

and/or a foal?

A foal is a baby horse of either sex. A colt is a male foal. A female foal is called a filly.

The More You Know!

This should be featured in the Smithsonian for Beef's first sentence in the bottom right corner.

It's the little details that get me. Ray's newest Escalade has a trash compactor. Probably because his last one is full of coffeemakers and pretzel bakers'n'shit.

Do you suppose Clue Hat, AZ is where Clue Bucket will live with Onstad's daughter after they get married?

You get a chubby for linking that strip which in turn made me snortgiggle.

Also I imagine a member of the Clue family will actually establish Clue Hat. They are so backwards their last name is their first name.



What is with that huge bottom space...I did not press enter that many times.

THEY'RE ALL CHING CHONG WING WONG

Who is Frederick?

He tantalizes me.

Horse (duh).

Us Americans pose more of a threat to the general welfare of the earth every day with the massive buildup of our reckless adjectives.

"Built just like regular adjectives..."

Just cut them up like regular adjectives?

Ray's quote reminds me very strongly of Jules complimenting Jimmy's coffee in Pulp Fiction.

Beef's little coda makes it for me. I'd like to say I'll call wine grapesauce from now on, but since I've had five beers this morning so far I'll probably forget.

Friday Facts never fail.

I think L.B. hit the nail on the head that definition.

I was hoping Kid Cusses was going to be the subject of Phillipe's first cowboy novel.

tonight is fun and this don't matter.

If you have not had this though, you have not had friends.

I think Ray and Teodor are both making fun of Medicine Hat .

I like Medicine Hat. There's a hotel with really big chairs.

In Medicine Hat.

Once again Onstad has painted a picture in my mind. Unfortunately tonight that picture is Lyle dropping a deuce while the people in the next room are pretending not to notice and eating cranberry sauce.

I like how "the onions" is in italics; it gives it a whole different sound in my mind. A little deeper and drawn-out, like it would be typed in a green, dripping goopy font.

Today's Blogs

Onstad: Burgers' Jowl Bacon (bacon #2)

Why, why draw that scene from Deliverance so forcefully to my mind?

I can only imagine Philippe's reaction when he finds out Roast Beef thinks his newspaper don't matter.

Yeah so I totally believed that ponies were just young horses so I had to look it up IMMEDIATELY after reading this. I'm dumb.


did you see a rodent philippe was it todd

squirrels aren't rodents

from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A squirrel is any one of the many small or medium-sized rodents in the family Sciuridae.
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Rodentia
Family: Sciuridae

fuck

Wikipwnt

I'm not specifically offended by your false statement, but it deserves at least one lame and until now it had none. Nothing personal, just a public service.

I understand entirely. No hard feelings.

I'm glad we could see eye to eye on this.

I'm blind, you bastard.

Well, that actually explains a lot about your strange ideas regarding rodents.

You bastard.

Could someone who has AIM add _end_of_times_wigger_ and interview him?

it's not a real screen name.

Maybe you should change your AIM handle then.

Why wouldn't he just cick "Forgot Password?" and have it e-mailed to him?

5 simply for "A computer is a box where decisions are made."

lol, it doesn't matter.

Clue Hat sounds like the name of a Toni Morrison character.

Lie Bot actually sort of told the truth this time.

I'm sure everybody makes fun of Lyle behind his back all the time

Ray came over!

"A computer is a box where decisions are made."

And the Internet is a series of tubes.

(Sorry about that. It had to be done.)
