He's not exactly buried, hes got hella chubbies

But a comment like that by anyone else would have gotten no lames and perhaps even more chubbies.

I'm not saying everything asherdan produces is gold, but the man can't catch a break.

Apparently he also can't make a single decent post without it immediately becoming a conversation about his lame-count and his not catching a break.

I was just thinking the same thing.

He brought it on his own pointy yellow head

chubby supportive reply for asherdan!

chubbie supportive reply for your avatar, sir

amen to that. don't pull a plath, cornelius!

Oh god, that reminds me of my old huge stuffed bear (it looked more like a real bear than your standard toy bear, and I could sit in the goddamn thing's lap when I first got it).

My cousin and I were playing Hide the Bear, and he stuffed it in the oven and it got grease all over it. I've had the thing since I was like two, I was devastated!

But it washed off in the end and it turned out ok. :)
Also I don't really know why I posted this story at all but I do know that I need to take a trip to the attic for a bearhug.

It's not as huge as I remember it but I guess back then I was two years old and now I am two metres tall.
It's still got this kind of weight to it that just makes you want to throw it about and oh god I need to go get a blog or something

That weight is all thanks to dust mites.

Dust mites wriggling through the Bear, the Bear looking like it's moving toward gumfish for that hug, gumfish totally ecstatic and horribly afraid at the same time...

... "gumfish?!" Er... what is this, then?

That would be the dude with the jumping Mario avatar.

See, if you're chewing gum and blow a bubble, and it sort of looks like a pufferfish...

oh my gosh i can't stop laughing at all the things you are saying

Unlike your spelling skills.

I know it was 'immaculate', but I really want it to have been either 'emasculate' or 'ejaculate'. M and J are right next to each other!

I've had to utter the words in times of stress

'Horrible things are happening for no reason!'

Teodor's critique is priceless

This was my review of Happy Tree Friends.

No it is for "naturally".

Oh! Christ, I was going through TVTropes wondering what the hell people were appending all their entries with that word for.

"I'll be in the oven."

Yeah, I just noticed that. What the hell?

Cornelius has a gas oven, and he is going to Kill himself

A gas oven. That's pretty hardcore.

Not to mention Old School.

If a gas oven is "Old School" then what the hell is a coal-fire stove?

Pre-School.

winner.

I have a gas oven, and one time my younger brother crawled inside it when I was in the room. I figured he'd e fine. The only reason he is still alive is because my mom came in about three seconds later.

Know Your Plath!

i laughed so hard i choked.

Cornelius is taking the Plath of least resistance.

(I will relish each and every lame I get for that, and rub them all over my body. I don't care. I had to say it.)

DAMN, Alexei! What WON'T you say?!? (chubbied)

My exact thought. Definitely 5.

I like to think that the "the drill" includes both Teodor's critique and Mr. Bear's suicide attempt. Like he could just hand it over and say "you know where to find me." After T reads, he goes to gently turn off the gas and let Cornelius sleep off his shame.

I have yet to witness a fortunate beagle micturation.

that beagle is a son of a bitch.

Pedantry does not become you, sir.

DC

5. For "I'll be in the oven". First time my 3 year Lit degree actually came in handy. Which is mostly depressing because the sentence that read "She killed herself by placing her head into a stove" only took a second or two to read.

Sylvia Plath.

Crazier than all the Bronte sisters added together.

Can anyone tell the exact disease described?

HPV

of the ear

WHY DID I GOOGLE THAT

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY DID I FORGET THAT I HAD TURNED SAFESEARCH OFF

please tell me there are not in fact cases of hpv of the ear

I didn't know what HPV was, so that's all I Googled. I didn't stick around long enough to check everywhere, but I did see it of the hand... So I guess the ear is just a feasible.

Chubby for inadequate sex education.

How strangely appropriate.

téodor is sympathetic to the girl's plight.

favourite avatar EVER, this and the dancing T-Rex

the synergy is ridiculous.

Hah! I hadn't thought... nice.

I enjoy the fact that it is not made clear precisely what Tom was doing. He leaves it all up to the reader's filthy, filthy mind.
I tried Googling for a definition of "mincturations", but it just suggested that I might want to search for "menstruation" instead.

Try "micturation" or "micturition". But I'll save ya' the trip: It's just a fancy Brit way of saying urination or pissing.

Point of Trivia: It is actually the source of the phrase "taking a mickey" (taking the micturations), and was thus the penultimate source of "slipping a mickey".

Needless to say (and yet here I am saying it!), Father's annoyance at finding her reading his woas will not be improved by the sudden awareness that he is standing in a rather smelly swamp of beagle piss.

Not to mention why I've always found "Mickey" Mouse to be an unusually amusing name....

...so what exactly is a Micky Finn??

This strip makes me feel weird. Kind of a milder version of the way I felt as I watched terrible things happen to Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents .

Does it make you feel weird in your Area?

It's more like in my stomach.

I, too, tend to feel icky about comedy that derives from a person having horrible things occur to them for no reason.

That and comedy that derives from horribly contrived awkward circumstances.

A lot of Harry Potter has this same theme in mind.

Looking back on this, I don't understand what Chris was getting at. Does he not like Lemony Snicket? If not, that is a shame because I'm sure the two would get along great, even though one is fictional.

I thought both Onstad and Cornelius could have done much, much better. But then, parody of parody is a very difficult game to play, I suppose.

Heh!
