Sarah Palin says we have to kill the wolves so that the people of Alaska can continue to put healthy moose meat on their table, so yeah, I guess people do eat it. I'm sure the Googler could whip you up some recipes if you need.

I was actually thinking of The Da Vinci Code , which sucked majorly. But it served the purposes of the idea I was putting forward - namely, the movie propagated the malformed idea that every little tribal belief in pre-Christian Europe (stretching from the Mediterranean regions of Africa and Asia, all the way up to northern Scandinavia, and including the Eastern Bloc) all magically believed in essentially the same thing in some kinda idealistic long-lost Utopia of spirituality, and they all believed in the "Sacred Feminine" and had love-fests and stuff, until the big bad Christians took this away and made them all patriarchal. Because, you know, pre-Christian peeps were all "yay gender equality" and stuff, and weren't just as patriarchal as we are now, if not more so. Oh no, of course not.
Damn, I could go on and bloody on about this. What an awful movie and the concepts it claims to be fact.

Dr. S. K. Radley:
RE: Early christians and sexual equality.
Seems that while orthodox Christianity (like that of Iraneus and Against Heresies ) is extreemly patriarchal, other expressions of original pre-orthodox Christianity were really into gender equality. We have reports of females serving as prophets as early as the Acts of the Apostles (yes, the one in the New Testament), and some sects had female ministers and priests as early as 90 C.E. (We know this largely due the complaints about this practice entered by those Greek cultured and educated leaders of proto-orthodox sects.) The great North African Christian thinker and defender Tertullian died a heretic for following after the monatist movement, headed by two female prophets.
But certainly the peoples of Egypt, Philistia, Phoenicia, Babylon, Persia etc were anything but gender neutral!

The movie was actually a little better. Some of the really gross out-and-out errors of the book were corrected in it.
I got what the "surprise" ending was just as soon as we met Sophie Neveu. Sophie is French for Sophia is Greek for "Wisdom" and Neveu is a not too clever anagram of Neuve (feminine form of the adjective "brand spanking new"). Just as Robert Langdon was the master (don) of tongues (Lang), etc. It was a thin plot spackled over an extreemly poorly conceived theory that only got anyone's attention because it claimed to be shocking and new, referenced Da Vinci, the Templars and Secret Societies and was supposedly a gripping detective story to boot.
Except, the only thing shocking was how poorly researched it was, and it wasn't anything really new. The whole Merovignian bloodline idea has been around since the '70's, and wasn't credible then. You've hardly ever met someone who isn't a descendant of that bloodline! (Even Obama is!)
Finishing the second half of that book was an exercise in sheer will power. If it's any consolation, it was a dream compared to the absolutely horrible "Angels and Demons".

You were wrong on Ubik. It's even better than they say it is. You can't read it expecting the prose of a stylist. PKD was a pulp author, writing to a pulp audience. It's a lot easier to love PKD if you come into his work after spending your entire youth devouring the golden age of SF. If you want to give him another chance, read A Scanner Darkly some day.
Also, it's not true that nobody in that genre is a decent stylist - read Gene Wolfe.

Technically, I wasn't saying Saul Bellow was a hack. The man had a long and prolific career. I just was saying that The Adventures of Augie March was not all it was purported to be and incredibly frustrating, which on reflection is probably understandable given that it was early in his career.
That book did not seem to be hack writing as much as it was boring. I think of a hack as someone who is unoriginal. The book was relatively original for it's time, but the problem is that Bellow's method looks like it is "Hey I know how I can make my character original I'll just have him do a bunch of random ass crap for no goddamn reason, probably by writing some concepts on index cards and tossing them up in the air" and then when they land he reads them and he's all "A falconer in Mexico?! Oh well, guess I'll just have to trust in the Heart of the Cards! And a waaaaaaaay we go!

That gay dudes are the best at blow jobs is common knowledge, I think. Feminists fall into two blow job categories: good ones or nothing at all. If we're sucking dick, it's because we want to and enjoy it, not because we feel obligated to, so it makes sense that we'd be better than average. Of course, I suppose there are those who like blow jobs better when they are not given willingly.

If you compare a decrepit version of Firefox with modern IE, there are a lot of ways IE is faster. (and yet, Opera is faster, and Chrome is even faster again) However, I'm the one still running a decrepit version of Firefox (1.0.6) so I can't comment on whether 2.0 or 3.0 improved that.

I use Firefox because the tabs are better and it's slightly faster, but after my computer's been on for a day or so, web/flash videos stop working and I have to view them in IE. This makes my daily activities...vexing, to say the least.

You can hide a variety of things in beards. Old settlers would place knives, frying pans, various desert varmints, and even other beards in there. Often times when a-fiddlin' got rarin' and a hootenanny occurred the beard of a particularly prodigious settler would rain knicknacks and odds and ends as he cavorted and stomped. Locals affectionately called this occurrence a "Mineshaft Drizzle," though not in the presence of the settler, as to save him embarrassment.

I hope you realize this puts me in a quandary. Do I...
1) fully accept the compliment, thus tacitly agreeing with the notion that I am comparable to Spinynorman and possibly inviting disagreement and soul-crushing criticism from his supporters?
2) acknowledge the compliment but try to downplay it by saying I could never compare with Spiny, thus coming off as a shameless asskisser whose gesture of humility is actually an attempt at maintaining superiority by being "the bigger man"?
3) simply not respond, thus rudely ignoring what is likely a sincere compliment made in goodwill and adding further insult by allowing the fact of this unacknowledgement to remain in full public view?
4) craft a wankful meta-response that avoids committing me to any of the above options, but in the end comes off as yet another underhanded attempt to be admired and possibly alienates and bores people in the process?
This is why people like David Foster Wallace kill themselves.
Sincerity is impossible, the search for it futile. If only there were some way out of this linguistic trap, some non-verbal gesture that could communicate sincere appreciation without the act of its utterance being subject to analysis...

The trick to sincerity is not to fear what people will think of what you want to say. Some people are always going to be fuckers, and as long as you have faith in your convictions, it doesn't matter what other people think.
Unless, you know, most of the people misunderstand what you were trying to say, in which case you probably were A: not doing it well or B: not actually being sincere. Conviction doesn't mean you get to ignore all criticism *cough*republicans*cough*.
I recently grew tired of couching everything I ever said in a cloud of metaspeak and self-deprecation, and now I am free . Join me in the clouds achilles. It is blue and clear up here, and you get to be prom king without feeling sad about it.

I went to my senior prom only a few months after coming back from a year in Japan. My graduating class was about 50 people, we had known each other since kindergarten. Going to Japan, I found out later, had been offense enough to the sensibilities and expectations of a small town. I wasn't going to miss prom, despite my lack of date or interest in the proceedings.
I was pissed off and lonely, and danced so hard to Papa Roach's "Last Resort" that my neck hurt for a week afterward.
This was high school, remember, and my concept of rocking was...uninformed at best.

Assetbar Admin:
If you read this, we would like to thank you for the upgrades and improvements to this environment. Specifically the much improved inbox and additional chubbies.
If I may, I would like to request a couple more improvements.
1) I believe everyone would enjoy having still more chubbies in some of the ridiculously long threads that this strip routinely creates.
2) This is a re-request, but I know I'm not alone in seeing usefulness in a chubby/lame type of inbox where one could quickly identify which comments are most recently getting both kinds of attention.
3) Just a thought: there have been some concerns generated by long posts. I am one of the cheif offenders here, but there have also been other long posts that have caused trouble in the past, even crashing browsers. Would it be possible to have a length setting (either in inches/cm or lines) placed either in our profile or where we set our "hide lames limit"? Then when a post exceeds our personal limit, only the first x number of lines or inches/mm would show, and a "more" or "full" link could be added above "reply" that would open the full in another window/tab if we wanted to see more. It's an idea that would help improve the troll proofing of this site.
As always, I acknowledge just how unreasonable these requests may be, and thank you for considering them anyway.

I am usually only happy with animated avitars when they have long pauses built in so that they are mostly static with only short bursts of motion. When people have a very animated icon it gets so annoying that I have started to just ignore that person until they change it. I'm not being a snob I just can't stop myself from being distracted you know.

Many (most) will disagree, but I like the direction this place has gone. It used to be mostly yammering and back-patting about the strip, and tons of out-of-context unfunny quoting. Now we yammer about all kinds of shit (some good, some awful), and quote out of context in a very funny way. People know each other, and many "character" types have shown up, most good.
I just wish we wouldn't get bogged down in the politics bits every now and again. 98% of people being on the liberal side doesn't make for fairness, and it really doesn't make for interesting. And every discussion of gender bias or racism makes me want to post horribly offensive things.

The thing about political discussions is it's gonna happen no matter what. It's a part of life, just like anything else we talk about, and a pretty big one at that. And it comes up in the most trivial ways, like someone making a cheap joke or simply referring to a political figure, which someone either gets offended at or picks up into a serious discussion. It can't be avoided, and that's fine. We may disagree, but at the end of the day we'll all still be laughing about boning and such.
I do think the desire for 'fairness' is misguided, kind of like when the news people think they have to 'balance' stories about global warming and evolution. It's not like there's some sign here that says 'conservatives keep out'. What does it say about the respective mindsets that something as awesome as Achewood draws a 98% liberal crowd? Doesn't the same go for most cultural phenomena that are funny, clever, and relevant? Anyone remember when they tried to make the conservative version of the Daily Show?

But given that virtually all the major webcomic authors are themselves liberal and inject it into their work in varying degrees, and from the general tenor on the board, I'd say it's a pretty safe assumption that there's at least a sizeable majority. What that means is a whole different matter.

Very ingenious, and well crafted. I like how the only character choice is "Ray."
And for those who can't see the whole image, I learned a trick. In IE, right click and "Copy" the image, then paste it in a Word document. You might have to juke the margins a bit.

I'm tempted to make some kind of joke about not being able to use computers too good, but I get the feeling I'll get category five counter burns.
Plus I don't know the best thing to do in IE, but there must be something better than pasting the image into a Word Document.

hi everyone. yeah in a lot of browsers when you right-click on an image there will be the option to "copy image location." Just choose that option, then open a new window or tab via the file menu or via a keyboard shortcut, then right-click in the address bar of the new window/tab and choose "paste." press enter. for that extra touch, serve with garnish.

It depends on the nature and frequency of the troll in question. Glad is definitely some sort of performance art, Manflesh is like David Cross pooping on a flag, and AIU is the most dedicated troll I've ever seen, which makes him transcend a bit for me. I almost never read his posts, but his tenacity is breathtaking.

Actually, depending on the definition in question, AIU is not technically a troll. What sets him apart from Manflesh and Glad (despite his rather pathetic and unrequited appeals to them as kin) is that the other two don't break character, and they really don't care what any of us think about them - they just keep doing their thing without getting into long arguments.
AIU on the other hand, if a troll, is an extremely poor one. He started off as a regular poster and resorted to trolling only after he realized that people didn't like him. So he cares, he cares a lot, and he cannot stop himself from constantly showing just how much he cares about his one-man crusade to rid the Internet of any discussion that he doesn't feel a part of. If the point of trolling is to make other people mad while being nonchalant, he has it completely backwards, since his own posts are far angrier and more hysteric than any responses to him, which range from bemusement to calm disgust. It actually makes me feel pretty good to think of all the impotent rage that our apparently "retarded" conversations on here cause him. I suggest we make even more references to TV shows, video games, indie rock, and other things he probably wasn't exposed to during the childhood he spent locked in the basement, and see if we can't make his head explode.

I totally grok Elbox's definition of "troll", and yet also would still define AIU as one - however I would classify him as a different category of troll to what we will define as "Classic Troll". This one, as you described, does all the opposite things that a troll does, yet still "trolls for responses" (not to be confused with "trawling", see here . Also, in the case of Manflesh, another kind of troll may also be applicable. ), but does so in a more erratic, more desperate way. And a much more ineffective way, in my regard, because I (along with a large and ever-growing population of Assetbar) really can't be bothered reading his long-winded, no punctuation shit.
As for Trolling being considered performance art on Assetbar: it is, totally. We accepted this when we started to acknowledge them as funny, clever, or just entertaining - and solidified it when we began to discuss the artistic aspect of it (initially in jest, but then fo realz a couple of times).
But that having been said, just because it's a form of performance art, doesn't mean this art is always good , because goodness knows it's not. And it also doesn't mean we have to put up with their shit all the time and not have them on ignore - as I stated once before:

Trolls can be costly in several ways. A troll can disrupt the discussion on a newsgroup, disseminate bad advice, and damage the feeling of trust in the newsgroup community. Furthermore, in a group that has become sensitized to trolling %u2014 where the rate of deception is high %u2014 many honestly naïve questions may be quickly rejected as trollings. This can be quite off-putting to the new user who upon venturing a first posting is immediately bombarded with angry accusations.

This one is downright filthy. It would get banned from textbooks in Kansas on the grounds that it not only educates teenagers about the basics of sexual intercourse, but also flies in the face of creationism, because God would never make a rock that obscene.

Most schools on the east coast are on a semester system and go from around late August to mid May. Further out west, a lot of schools are on a quarter system and start in late September but end in like mid-June. It adds yet another difficulty to long-distance relationships, since one of you has either finals or midterms at almost any given time.

If I understand your question, you want to see the comments you have sent. If you are logged in to Assetbar, on the home page, near the upper left corner, is the head "My Comments". Below that heading are two links. The first one is to your Inbox, where all the threaded replies to your comments appear. The second one, "Sent" goes to a list of comments you have sent.

For me, seeing Onstad was, well, not a big deal or shock or anything. He looked so friendly, so very very glad to have fans show up, so appreciative and jolly, what could one say? No room for jokes when someone looks so nice.

Yes, that album is very good. Its one of those rare records that rewards upon repeat listens. (a very easy thing to claim, and way to many albums get awarded this distinction) I'll be covering the album in my blog when I get to the 80s next...year?

Here's a pretty good video of the fall playing Smile, for anyone who's with me on this.
Does anyone else worry that when they have to do things repeatedly to like them (Whisky, old punk music, cigars, wine) that they're sort of being a phony? I worry about it.

Heck no, it is up to you whether you like something or not, and why you like it. If a number of sources say "Cultural Object X" is good, and you don't like it, it makes logical sense to keep trying it, since you are one and they are many and no one person's experience is ever total. It is okay not to like the thing, if you can explain why, and it is okay to say you like the thing if you can say why. It is only when you can't support your reasoning that you are being a phony.

Here is a photo of Scotch Eggs, made from Cornelius Bear's recipe in The Achewood Cookbook. So far I have made these eggs a couple of times, oven fries, and Roast Beef's Basque Green Bean Salad, and Diamond Juice. I am going to make Mexican Pizza tonight.
There are several nice things in the cookbook.
There is an easy-to-remember process for hard-boiling eggs. There is a lot of writing from Ray, confirming that, left to his own devices, he is a dolt. If you like to eat and don't mind cooking, this would be a good cookbook for you to buy. It's not fussy at all.

I don't go to my bar to eat. I go to my bar because they have the best jukebox in town, and if you drink five pitchers you get one for free. My friends and I consider it a challenge. You can yell very loud, and there is a smoking area.
Many nights, round closing, there are women who I used to sleep with who want to do it again, for old times sake. Sometimes, god forbid, there are even entirely new women.
They don't have scotch eggs, but I don't come from some elitist, hydroponic arugula farming, jesus-snickering, eye-rolling, Prius-fucking, independent music reviewing, gallery opening university town .
(to be honest, I also wish my bar had food and scotch eggs, but when you are a high-functioning alcoholic, you have to make trade offs.)

These particular eggs are encased in chipotle-flavored pork sausage (the kind that comes in one-pound plastic tubes). Then you dip them in egg and bread them. These are baked rather than deep-fried. The chipotle sausage brings a little heat, which I think makes these even more awesome with beer than usual.

Wait, so the eggs are encased in sausage, then dipped in egg? Wouldn't that make it like...meta-egg?
Seriously though, these sound awesome. It reminds me of freshman year of college when my friend and I would sneak into frat parties and raid their kitchens while everyone was in the basement drooling on each other. This one frat always had a tray of deviled eggs in the fridge, which we covered in mayonnaise and Easy Cheese before devouring several of them at a time, somehow believing that this qualified them as sandwiches.

Oh, Pogo, your elderly innocence is adorable. People do it. Lots of people do it. In fact it just may be that case that one out of every five people you know has tried anal sex! Do you know where your children are?
The messiness factor is a bit exaggerated in the popular consciousness. The anal cavity doesn't store poo, it's just a passageway. Besides, an enema can be used beforehand to dispel any doubt.
I am of course only reporting all this from hearsay because as we know I never get to have any sort of sex ever.

Quite true. The thoughtful person, anticipating a "full service" menu, will make sure he/she is "fresh" as part of their pre-date preparations. The term "fresh" is used here in the appalling euphemistic sense it's used in "feminine hygiene" product advertising copy. Also, it's simply crazy not to be using condoms, so "clean-up's a breeze."

To answer achilles's question, now far removed from this reply, the raw egg just sticks the bread crumbs to the sausage. That way, the eggs can be eaten as finger food without having to touch the greasy sausage directly.
You could use chicken sausage to make a dish the makes some...statement...about...something. I think Paul Simon already made that statement when he wrote "Mother and Child Reunion."
Finally, what the hell people? How does a post about a tasty picnic snack devolve in less than 24 hours to an extended discussion of anal sex? I was just trying to share the good news about Scotch Eggs. Some of you guys need to take stock.

Wow, these Scotch Eggs look like Dominican meatloaf, except less meat. They roll the hardboiled eggs in the meat before cooking, and it works very well. The best part is the sauce they smother the sliced meatloaf with.

That was last friday, dogg.
i don't post for two weeks and this guy happens?
this board has a really quick cycle on the whole "fallin' to shambles" thing.
Oh, alreadyinuse has been a sickness in the body of Assetbar for a long while, now. Can't blame anyone else if you didn't spot the symptoms.
jeez, it's too bad there are so many humorless people spending so much time here--i think alreadyinuse's posts are way funnier than almost any of the ones that get a bunch of chubbies.

Your posts are entertaining.
I'm gonna pick on Sartre. Interesting that between your two posts you have made me think of the one question Sartre could never answer...which is more important, the individual or the collective?
Which is the same issue you are fighting on assetbar is it not?
It's not that we don't understand what you're trying to do. We do, it's just that it could be pulled off a bit better.
Thanks for the effort though. We can all see by the lengths of your posts that you care.
So being contrarian, copy-pasting bad stories and spelling things wrong deliberately are the only way to be sentient?
excuse me cunt but i never copy paste. alls r orgnal
cunt
i..i am sry
I so didn't read that.
But you made Manflesh quit, so fuck you. The world is a sadder place without his once-a-month posting of random annoying shit, whilst we all gab on for hours about how big and juicy and bulbous and shiny-without-being-hairless his nuts are.
The idea of Manflesh is more entertaining than Manflesh himself
DON'T THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN WITH YOU
I think we just proved Manflesh is still here.
There will always be a little Manflesh in all of us, like cancer in remission.
Do you think he can really stay away? There is notoriety here, and what does a performer crave except notoriety?
But this is a hackneyed concept of performance and art and quality. Clearly, a visionary and comedian extraodinaire such as the good doctor would never be constrained by such bourgeoisie notions of basic human desire.
He and AIU can collapse into each other in a singularity of smug, antagonistic superiority, each mocking the other for staying in the black hole, but neither leaving.
That being said, I have never ignored them, because they do good posts.
Looks like le Chat Botte' missed an interesting day in Acheworld! Congrats, AIU on your chubbies. I have to admit I was laughing so hard at the thought of 29% of anyone's clones making out with each other, it more than made up for the over the top vitriole and bitume of the remainder. That part was pure brilliance.
That said, I am not aligned with you on the post deriding this community. This community is what it is, constituted by those who come here, each of whom get something , albeit different things, from the experience of this quirky, odd little comic. If you create them as boring, you will never see them as any other thing. I have previously stood firm in acknowledging and accepting you as part of this community. And that you are, and your voice (and the voice of the manflesh) are both equally valid with anyone elses here. Equally, not more.
I will not make you wrong for seeing it the way you do, nor will I insist that you change any part of it. I will acknowledge you being authentic in this expression of your thoughts.
I'll also invite you to try on the possibility of creating people powerfully, and getting and accepting them just the way they are. You may be surprised to find how interesting and brilliant these folks turn out to be! I especially encourage you to consider that your complex way of thinking and interacting does not in any way make you more human than those who choose simpler, more direct ways of interacting. There is a breakthrough available for you in getting how human and valid every poster on this site is.
You're really wasting good energy on someone who will hurt and betray your love at the earliest opportunity, for he deomnstrates continuously that he has no remorse, no soul, and no concern for anything but his own glorification. He is evil personified.
Bad Pogo! Down Pogo! That's a good boy.
Seriously, he is no more evil personified than you are a large dalmation. Nope. Sorry. Both human after all. Get used to it.
Mon Chat, would it be OK if one really, really wanted to be a large Dalmatian? It's true that if Dalmatians don't have meaningful work to do, their naturally high energy leads them into behavior that can be a fairly convincing imitation of evil made flesh. As is true for most sentient beings, these difficulties are overcome through appropriate socialization.
Whether anyone ever provided such socialization to AIU I won't hazard to speculate; certainly no one provided instruction in proofreading, typing too fast for one's accuracy capabilities, or not shouting everything one says.
I suspect that Manflesh, for his part, was provided with all the indicated training, and that whatever one's opinion of his contributions to Achewood, they derive from aesthetic choices and not from, say, poorly regulated hormones.
Being, myself, le Chat Botte', I have to say that my opinion of Dalmatians is generally negative. (Meow.)
I feel like "creating" in this post should possibly be in inverted commas. Or, y'know, replaced with a word that makes sense in the context.
No other word would make sense in this context. But you are free to invent new contexts if you want.
Then maybe... an assortment of words? To represent an idea? Is this too much to ask, Chatbot.
Oh. Sorry. For a moment there, I thought I was speaking in complete sentances, and everything.
So, I'm not getting what you are requesting exactly?
Oh, I don't mean in general, just in the use of that particular word. You can't prioritise some words just because they make you come off more meaningful and esoteric!
Silly i_love_kate, lechatbotte is not a food!
(?).
(!).
Still not clear on your point. I choose my words advisedly, and with little or no desire to be "meaningful", merely to say what I mean. Certainly no attempt at cabal or esotericisms! If you're not getting it, don't assume it can't be gotten, and read it again slowly, pondering "what does it really mean?" You might surprise yourself!
I think he means you can't create people, so it is confusing to say so.
Thank you, Farqussus. That made sense!
I submit you can't not create them, since they show up for you just the way you created them to be for you, regardless of how they are for others.
I certainly don't know where you're coming from, but I take this vocabulary of "what works" and "creating" as an unfortunate cross of dialectic behavioral therapy (which is for folks with borderline personality disorder) and literary criticism (which would really be about "creating the text," but the concept is the same). Such filters can render your comments meaningful in some way, although not necessarily the way you intended.
But there's simply no question that everyone else here wins the argument. Uncommon usages of words will make it hard for anyone to understand you. If you respond to puzzlement by insisting that everything you've said is perfectly clear already, then people will just ignore you. That wouldn't work for me. Of course, my opinions are just as meaningless as the next guy's around here. (No offense, farqussus.)
Thank you!
While "create" is an odd word choice, I felt meaning could be inferred well enough given the context. The following is an attempt to put these more in layman's terms, but do correct me if I am wrong, lechatbotte:
"If you [preemptively assume they will be boring], you will never see them as any other thing."
"I'll also invite you to try on the possibility of [attempting to view people in a wider scope that encompasses their entire personality], and getting and accepting them just the way they are."
It's a rather obtuse usage, but almost any word will work anywhere with enough intent and context.
Very nice effort! However, I really mean "create". Since people occur for us just the way we expect them to, and since those expectations are all made up anyway, we have the ability to create those expectations, and thus the people they are about. If we create people as a questioning instead of a knowing, we will more likely get what they are about today, as it changes from day to day. If we accept whatever they are about as being valid and human, then we will get them the more. Get it?
So we create our own manflesh and co from our perceptions and interactions with them?
When you said 'if you create them as boring' I thought you were speaking to the 'trolls' in question and about the characters they have 'created' with their actions.
Now I do get it.
If that's what you meant.
If there is no Manflesh in you right now, please raise your hand and an attendant will be right with you
If having Manflesh in me has anything to do with your aviticon, my hand will remain down.
COME BACKKKKK!!!!!! NOOOOOO MANFLESH!
...did my actions bring about the departure of manflesh?
was it i that was the proverbial butterfly, flapping its wings?
oh... noes...
Wow, Dr. Manflesh appreciates the polar opposite of the rest of assetbar and, self-importantly, let's us in on his conviction! Also big news: oceans are water.
Please, chubby his comment. Chubby so no one is left wondering "did Dr. Manflesh totally reveal our hypocrisy, our true inner selves... again ?"
What is the deal with black Vulcans? Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Planetary Development or no, it is silly to believe in black Vulcans.
But... this comic goes to eleven.
I so totally do not understand panel 9.
Nevermind ... it is Philippe imagining adults playing with dolls doing adult things. Slow on the uptake there.
That's panel 10.
What's going on with the gnomes in panel 9
Hah! I totally didn't realise that those things in their chests were "doll inserts" before. I've been a fool.
RARGH THAT IS THE TENTH PANEL THE NINTH PANEL IS JUST TEODOR AND PHILIPPE
WHY DOES NO-ONE LISTEN
why does teodor only need a putter on sixteen? alternately, what happened to his putter on hole fifteen?
He had to play a big fade on 16 and Ray's putter is just so much better for that shot.
Teodor was dominated by hole fifteen and his putter paid the price.
Nice to see the dropped panties again.
Too true. The adult doll frame is absolutely the best part. However, my lard-coated heart latched once more on to the innocence of Phillipe and his awe at the possibilities of the doll insert, no matter how small he may imagine them to be.
I mean, seriously. It could make a doll do the splits, guys. The splits . I don't think you understand the magnitude of that.
Assuming we're attempting Bill McNeal, its:
"I read your book, you magnificent bastard!"
I think he's quoting the origal line from Patton (that's what NewsRadio would've been referencing). Replace "ONSTAD" with "Rommel," and "BOUGHT" with "read."
And, though I haven't watched Patton in about a year, I'm pretty sure that's the correct sequence of lines.
origal = original, oops
I know that eyeball anywhere... Is it you, Eraserbeef? my first post via assetbar and it's to get a hold of you to finish unfinished business, mister!
TONIGHT: ON ASSETBAR: NO HOLDS BARRED!! SEE IT HERE!!! anemix23, the owner of a slightly out of focus spotted cat, vs. resident, who has a strange blurry tattoo of an eyeball with a tophat!! Be sure to tune in for live updates!!
i'm all fired up mean gene
nice, jandek.

Oh no, I might not be considered a "true fan"? But where am I going to get 15 bucks? ...Does anyone need a handjob?
Sure.
Oh wait, from you? Never mind. Thanks, though.
A handjob is still a job!
Why do you think they call it that?

It's ok! He has a black guy for an avatar!
You can also claim he's a black Jew or Muslim (or both!), of mixed Polish/Irish/Arabic/Chinese stock, and then you've cornered the fucking market.
Sorry, you left out the Gays and the Mormons.
"i dunt lik queers!"
For $15, it better be an exceptional handjob. Otherwise, clearly over-priced.
Yeah, I mean, I can give myself a pretty good handjob for free, you know?
Really? I should totally try that.
Everyone should try giving Tekende a handjob at least once
(and me too)
*hugs!*
Philippe, no! Handjobs are grown-up things that only grown-ups can give or receive!
I got one in the mail just yesterday
And I want to be an adult! Adults get to pay taxes and go to school and drink coffee.
:(
(What is a handjob, by the way? Is it like being a ventriloquist?)
It's like giving hugs, but to yourself
What's wrong with that?
And how can I give hugs to myself to other people? There are two datives there, and that makes me confused.
:(
People don't appreciate a good handjob these days.
In ancient Pompeii, some prostitutes specialised in doing good handjobs. I mean, sure, you could do it to yourself - but it'd be nowhere near as good as a professional doing it to you.
And look what happened to them.
I suddenly got a decently detailed mental image of a pair of those ash-coated Pompeii corpses in a position that I'm sure you'll be able to work out for yourselves.
It was a stressful day, what with the vulcano and everything. Say "hi" to Pliny the Elder for me.
I knew that before you mentioned it.
I did not have to look it up.
There's a girl in my World History class named Pliny. No joke.
If she has a parent with the same name, I'm hitting that . Pliny the Elder, not the younger
Don't hit 'em. Just give 'em some cheap land on Mount St. Helens.
are you making a joke or did you really not know [url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i%27d hit that]this[/url]
Hyperlinks: putting the "ass" in Assetbar.
I mean this .
I preordered months ago. Got a deal, I seem to recall. I did it mostly for charity's sake, or maybe to show GOF to someone, someday, but I'll never read it again.
Yes you will.
I don't have the money. I have negative amounts of money. Dickass.
