I mean it's a phrase that is "pimp skitters". This is not something you label under unsorted in your iTunes playlist.

ive got smash mouth on my sinner's ass playlist

I have the Animaniacs singing the "Nations of the World" on my iTunes. It is a beacon in times of trouble.

explains it rather well.

That's now how the next line goes AT ALL

dear lord what hath i wrought

Someone went through and gave a lame to each person involved. They do not like musical geography. So that would also rule out most of the works of Rockapella.

I saw TMNT in concert on the "Coming Out of Their Shells" tour when I was 8

I don't know which tour it was, but a TMNT concert was, no joshing, where we went for my 8th birthday party.

what's with all this "when I was 8" talk? I see them every time they come around. they are as excellent as you remember. they do not seem to age.

well shit, I misread "tmnt" as "tmbg" and now I have to lame myself because I can't edit.

this is a never-ending spiral of fuckup.

I do not know which would make me more tickled: the thought of someone who's seen every They Might Be Giants tour since they were 8, or someone who's continued to search out the elusive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stage show, decades past the date when it was actually staged professionally, perhaps recreating it at home with the help of a home movie of the tour, some imaginative friends and a costume box. Cowabunga, dude!

Yes! I was imagining that iidebaser lives in some weird alternate universe where the damn ninja turtles concert tour is neverending, and somehow his posts ended up in our universe. Or he's just completely insane.

YES
YES
YES

I was into TMNT when I was fucking five. I remember exactly.

I don't know if I would want to be friends with someone who wasn't...

Agreed. I don't care if you're on the other side of the planet and don't know what a TV is. If you were not a fan of the Ninja Turtles at any point in time in your blossoming youth, that's an offense that's on the level with punching Jesus. Right in the neck. At a wedding.

fuck it, i'd do it!

but i loved TMNT.

Ditto.

Unless you were a girl. My little brother watched them, and that immediately made them Dumb.

I guess I'm not a girl. My mom will be disappointed.

I suppose this would be a poor time to tell you that your Mom always wanted a boy.

My sister and I both watched them, and transformers. But she also went on to become a biological engineer and learn kung-fu. Maybe the reason girls do less in athletics, engineering, math and science isn't sexism or social expectations, it's just the kids shows we watch.

When I was 4, my grandmother caught me sitting under the kitchen table twirling around a butcher knife and yelling "COWABUNGA!"

After this I was not allowed to watch TMNT. :(

I grew up with almost no actual culture (Single Mom; raised by the video games, etc), so I wasn't a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Know why? Never saw an episode in my entire life. You think I enjoy this fact? I do not. I would watch one now, but somehow I feel that without the nostalgia most of you get to experience when viewing such things, it would mostly be lost on me. This also saddens me.

...five what ?

well, the structure of the thread completely fucked up that attempt at a joke. For anyone at all curious why the hell I just said that, it was a response to spinynorman's post regarding when he was into TMNT...

Five Swedish airline attendants, of course. Sideways.

This is the best. I am having a very difficult time making myself stop laughing because I am at work.

I approved of it quite highly without your correction.

Did they sing Skipping Stones?

On a smooth blue pane of glass?

Or Pizza Power, or Count on Us?

My phone plays the Thundercats Intro...

i LOVED thundercats when i was a kid. as i have red hair, i was called lion-o. even though i am female.

[[sings]]
did you ever know that youre my hero
youre everything i wish i could be(baby-parents with)

Found by your desires? If I could give you 5 Chubbies, I would. At least, I would if chubbies are what I think they are.

give it a chubby if it gives you a chubby

All Star came on the radio the other day and I was like "How much of a bummer is every other song on the radio that this song now sounds like a big old frosty limeade?" Really that is what I was like.

times are hard, thank christ for them.

I used to be a fan of theirs, but... You do know they toured with N'SYNC, right?

Lamed and rightly so.

CHUBBY AS HELL

Dude at least the visible members of Smashmouth play actual instruments.

Damn, you're right. And it's true. And holy SHIT is that depressing. If you had told me when All Star first came out that some day this song would make me nostalgic for the days of my youth I would have shot you in the knee.

that was the worst Gatorade commercial ever

Here, there is an argument over who was better or worse between NSYNC and Smashmouth. People. Just stop and think about this for a moment. Please. Just consider what you're saying. Please. For just a second, consider these things. Please.

I get it, really, but why didn't you post this in the other section where people were actually doing this thing which you are decrying?

As you must soon understand, in the Assetbarrio, being only five comments away from the one to which you are replying isn't really that bad. It is a Thing that happens, see.

This is like arguing whether pimp skitters or swamp ass is better.

See. It happens.

Dude, there's a lot I miss from the early nineties, that I also don't find in most of todays popular "rock". This makes me feel old, but still, I actually think the early nineties where a pretty good age for music.

Pics or it didn't happen.

wow, you hate new music and long for the glory days of 10 years ago? please continue

I wish I could chubby this more!

I'll have to disagree with you, at least regarding rock - the 1980s were the golden era of rock, and they will never again return.
However, the techno scene in the 90s was just fantastic.

Pimp skitters should make it into the general vocabulary.

I fear I have the pimp skitters, I haven't eaten a banana in months.

Roast Beef is eating a single egg.

I don't know, but I'm sure he'd barge into the bathroom to share his thoughts with Ray.

Like Ray, before this comic, I was virgin to the term too.

It is a little-known fact that the term Sinner's Ass came about because of Jesuit missionaries in Mexico disliking the native food there so much they considered it sinful.

Whether or not a factoid is true has no bearing on whether or not it is awesome .

DC

5 for Beef's last line. 5 again because the term "pimp skitters" has crossed over into real life usage - I have made sure of this.

Snoop Dogg is all, BITCHES do NOT LISTEN

You know, Beef's final line may shed some light on Snoop Dogg's song, "Drop It Like It's Hot".

I like the throw-away part of this strip, the comment about Gramma K. She may have been an awful hag over the years but she took care of her own. I like family stories like that.

but if snoop dogg did rap about it, it would be awesome

Oh... no... oh no. It really wouldn't be. Just... just say it out loud a couple times for me. That's "pimp skitters."

Luke Skyywalker would probably own up to having pimp skitters before Snoop

Luke is all JAWAS do NOT LISTEN

Today's Blogs

Ray: What in the damn hell is going on around here?
Philippe: FUN PARTY a total success!!

Ray and Philippe's blogs from today and a couple of days ago are hilarious. Thanks for your general awesome blog linking!

This is the best blog.

LYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

Roast Beef's best lines ever. Pimp skitters, sinner's ass, the Snoop Dogg story... every time he steps to the plate he hits a home run.

that's a good lookin' egg beef is about to bite into

I'm a huge fan of the single egg splattered with Pico-Pica in the a.m.

I didn't mess myself reading this, but I feel it's owed.

This strip gets a 5 because of the last panel. This is one of the few Achewood strips thus far to make me not laugh out loud, but double over, laughing silently over something small.

Roast Beef has an egg for breakfast.

I love it when Onstadt makes up brand names.
