Panel 2. Solid gold.

Disambiguation is not a real word. Wikipedia made it up.

WIN.

LOSE. YOU LOSE, IMAGESHACK.

I tried updating the wikipedia page for BBCode, but wikipedia cancelled my edits. I think it objected to the words SCREW and FUCK, or maybe the bold and italics.

If I squint hard enough, I can almost... Yes, I can almost cause my eyeballs to come bursting out of my skull like a pair of peeled and lubricated grapes.

That happened to me once. But it wasn't my eyes.

(What do I mean? Surely not that . But what else could I mean? We are confused together.)

Is Connie getting his magic gravy on?

You are in Trouble yet again, krisos!

What sort of nonsense computer is that.

[I know the answer by the way.]

5.0

There are like 7 panels here of already classic dialogue, even though the strip is but a few hours old.

Call me the product of a horrible age.

Good.

Now choke me.

that is a real computer little man used by a man who programs computers for his life

Shouldn't the image be what is shown in Panel 2 of this comic, since it's what Beef is referring to?

I think he's demonstrating that something already exists in a place where the Void should.

OH FUDGE I didn't see the picture

I'm not sure if what you are saying makes any sense.

how's the apartment search in niseko going?

Terribly. Stupid world economy.

Possible vandalism spree upcoming

Just a heads up - this popular webcomic has essentially outlined vandalism to this page, which at least one user has already inserted (see this diff ). It's very possible that more vandalism of the same type will appear as well. - Elmer Clark (talk) 01:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I've semi-protected for 24 hours due to repeated vandalism from IP addresses. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC).

Hee hee! Onstad "essentially outlined vandalism...." I can see him chortling in his lair even now: "Go, my minions, go and vandalize Wikipedia!"

he has been referencing it a whole lot.

but then again who doesn't nowadays.

Disambiguation - Removal of ambiguity; also, the result of such removal ( Oxford English Dictioanry ).

First known use by G. Bentham in 1827 in his Outline of a new System of Logic .

Hee hee.

oh man, i'm the guy who looked up gullible in the dictionary, too

I know a girl who owns a pair of sweats that ain't Juicy. I see where she's headed

I'd say it's even worse to own anything that has actually come from or might be in any way associated with or mistakenly viewed as being associated with Juicy Couture in any possible way.

People who wear sweats at any time, even to exercise in, frighten me. There is simply no reason to own them.

what's worse is the pants/shorts that say things on the ass... nothing said this way is good!

Especially the pants/shorts that say "Juicy" on the ass, and when fat chicks wear them. Horrible mental image there.

they get fat after they have a baby with a bass player, although perhaps if they lose the weight, they can fuck Fooker again.

the fuck of shame and loathing and inescapable, tragic infatuation.

We've all been there. Ah no I am thinking of theirateturk's girlfriend.

No self-respecting bassist would touch one of those ladies. Those ladies belong to DJs. Nobody else is that low.

At least, I certainly wouldn't.

not even bassists are that low?

Hey, I'm a bassist!

By simple logic I am nowhere near that low, ergo, fuck off.

While it is impressive that a brain in a jar can play bass, this does not mean bassists as a people are any less low. You yourself, lacking legs or a spinal column, are quite "low" to begin with, sir.

OBJECTION!
Champ Kind Ace Attorney

Bassists were invented so the drummer and the guitarist could use the carpool lane.

Don't you LISTEN?

Can't you... see?

A comment left by lechatbotte was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Sant, KaMeT, Jeet)

Dude, that's my line. I have one freaking line. Really.

My bad, old chum. I retract and withdraw.

Go ahead, take the lead:

I actually like bassists (please don't kill me... look, I have a shitty bass pack from guitar center in my house bro (I am not a bro)), I was just making a pun (please don't kill me dangelder)

That was, in retrospect, a good pun. A solid pun. The sort of pun that one can come home to at the end of a hard day and know that things are right in any world where a man can appreciate that sort of word play.

That pun brings you a cold one, and a foot rub.

Quite likely. I want to further stress the fundamentally working-class nature of that pun. It is a pun for a working man. No, it's not as clever or enjoyable as the well-crafted puns enjoyed by elitists like myself, but I suspect that an honest tradesman can appreciate it and, in some small way, believe that there is still good and value in the language. This is the pun for a man who may or may not own a truck, not someone who most definitely would never own a truck. At the same time, it is above the level of someone who most certainly owns a truck and would insult your heritage and sexual orientation for even implying that he might not.

But that sort of person is not often fond of puns to begin with. They are an abomination.

I get so sick of people pandering to Joe the plumber.

Don;t you mean "Joe the Punner"?

that's me!

My name is Joe, and I make puns. It's not that the word pun came up and I had to foist myself in.

Foot tastes aweful

I think that joke was pretty base.

if my earlier pun was a working class pun, this is a working class hero pun -- post-ironic but not shallow.

But wasn't the song "Working Class Hero" not only pre-ironic, but also kind of a dick move? Then again, not intended as a slight against his later years, but it seems like Lennon's early days were basically composed entirely of dick moves.

"How Do You Sleep" was the dickest of dick moves.

Who was the millionaire who said to imagine no possessions?
He was a hypocrite.
Man, I can't believe I missed a Beatles reference.

He was also, apparently, a real asshole to his first wife as far back as when they were initially dating not to mention the whole thing with Yoko. Or his son.

Yes. This is why I like Paul better.

Pheh, George all the way.

There is only one Beatle you could trust with your life, one Beatle who when the tanks are rolling down the streets who will stand at the barricades, and it isn't one of those three.

I always liked him too. . . . for more than one reason. I'm not musically savvy, so I can't judge how good of a drummer he is. But I heard that in all the years of the Beatles, he only messed up six times, or something . .. something like that . .. I don't know, it sounds a little unbelievable. But anyways, he always seemed very loyal to the group, and had no ego really. I mean, I don't think he ever really got in any fights about the songs, or whatever. HE helped out when he could, and such.

Oh, you know that Simpsons episode, where Marge sent him a painting in the 60s, and Ringo finally replies? Turns out very recently Ringo had requested that fans stop sending him fan mail, because he is so back-logged. Haha.

I know it's a popular stance to ignore Ringo, and in many ways I do, as well. But the man reinvented the rock drum fill. I'm not saying it was the flashiest or the most technically difficult, but that shit was, for lack of a better descriptor, tasty in a way that no one had before mastered to such an extent. I don't know how much the average non-drummer thinks about the fills that he or she hears in post-Beatles pop, but just keep in mind that they wouldn't be the same without everyone's favorite target of rock ridicule.

I love Ringo. I think this is mostly because of the movie A Hard Day's Night , but he just always seemed so mellow and easy-going.

Indeed. He seemed like, among all of them, he was always having the most fun and was the most reasonable. It doesn't matter if he wasn't the best drummer or songwriter he was the best person.

My parents' dog is named Ringo so this entire conversation feels rather surreal.

I suspect he's named after the Beatle but I know which one I think about more.

I'm listening to All Things Must Pass (album) for the first time right now. Dude . ..he does What is Life? Awesome!
Yeah, I always liked George.

Bah, Paul was always a commercial-minded sell-out.

Irony. One of the owners of Juicy Couture is married to John Taylor who is, in fact, a player of the bass. Whether his being one of the Duran Duran Taylors solidifies or nullifies his deserving self-respect is an individual call.

How and why do you know these facts.

I have been loving John Taylor long time.

He is fantastic. Sadly, it took a silly video game to help me fully realize that.

Agreed. I think we all just ignored the contribution of someone who would be involved in something so ridiculous as Duran Duran.

Boo. A somewhat dispassionate boo, but boo nonetheless.

That depends. What about "Greaser" bassists or people who try to dress and act like 1950s hollywood stereotypes, today? Weirdest. Subculture. Ever.

Anyway they are usually that low, or that funny. I "base" this assumption on the statistical high percentage of bass players who start relationships after fucking drunk girls (3 for 3 so far, one of them being my airport rendevous chick, the others just being occasions I knew about through the grapevine).

Sorry, but I have to lame this due to the further repetition of that airport anecdote. It has gone on long enough and shows up too regularly. A moratorium is being declared.

Dude, I hate fooker as much as anyone, but to be fair I have to point out that you all have been dangling this thread about bass and bassists so tantalizingly in front of him all day. Knowing full well that he has nothing else to say about anything, how can you reasonably expect him to be able to resist? We just need to understand that if anyone mentions bassists, airports or awkward oral sex on this board he will be there with his two cents. Like how if you shit on your rug your dog will try to eat it. It's up to all of us to keep that from happening.

Stop shitting on your rug.

1) I was unfamiliar with the bassist component of the aerodrome fellatio scenario.

2)I did not, technically, start this line of inquiry though I will acknowledge my role in keeping it going.

Aerodrome Fellatio Scenario . This could also be:

a)The title of a lost Butthole Surfers album;
b)A lost Space Moose cartoon; or
c)a chance meeting between Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart at Idlewild Airport

Definitely an album, but I'm not certain of Butthole Surfers. I'm still trying to find the ideal band to have recorded it. Nevertheless, I am certain that it is awesome.

The Mars Volta.

this is like when your really nerdy friend was the last to get laid and when he finally did he acted like the local expect on sex and wouldn't shut the fuck up about his one time which, as you heard from the girl, lasted five minutes in her basement rec room, with Top Gun still playing on the TV in the background.

Five minutes? First time? I doubt that.

That includes foreplay ( also known as taking off clothes and putting on protection )

The proper purpose of foreplay is to convince the lady that this was a good idea and discourage her from leaving. Also, to make certain that she associate positive memories with this and perhaps desire to do it again at some point in the future.

The clock starts when the cock enters.

For some, the battle is already over by then

(Non-Juicy sweats) (bass player sex) Fooker airport = (Bad Head) x Shame

I bet you wear those all the time.
Even though you're not fat.

I wear Juicy pants all the time. I am very, very fat

I'd give you a chubby for being so damn correct but I just can't bring myself to after the mental image you left in my mind.

Old Crow, is this a confession?

NO! No I swear not. Its a feeble attempt to purge the view screen of my mind. In my world, when I saw that, my mental hands scrabbled in fain for a flushing lever.

I was just asking, because I will be going to Old Crow Confessions at my neighborhood community theater Saturday night, and I thought there may have been a connection.

beg to differ - it provides an excuse to take in a bottom, albiet a perfunctory one. Personally, to improve the quality of the excuse, I intend to introduce sweats with 4pt font.

You can go ahead and be an ass man if you want to, then.

You can go ahead and be an ass, man, if you want to, then.

I'm a personality man.

"Check out the big ol' personality on her !"

...Nope, doesn't work.

Man, you totally called my bluff!

She has a well rounded personality, and other great assets.

among them, HUGE tracts of land...

I know! Makes you just want to plow her field.

... I built a castle, it fell into the swamp, I built another castle, and it fell into the swamp, I built another castle and it stayed up for a little bit then it burnt down and fell into the swamp...

I lit a thin green candle, to make you jealous of me. But the room just filled up with mosquitos, they heard that my body was free.

but the fourth one...stayed up!

I could correct this but I'm beyond that stage...I'm an almost grown man...I have to remember that...

If I was 14 I would've corrected it. But no. Not anymore.

In every important physical respect, you're 'fully growed,' Nice. Except for a little thickening that will happen in another 10 years or so. All other growth aspects are much more open-ended and indeterminate. Your restraint speaks well of you, though. Useful wisdom, at whatever age developed.

But maybe mere mention of the fact that I could correct it shows that that open-ended development is in my case very real. Or I'm just hot on putting myself down.

Yeah I was relying on ancient swiss cheesed memory from, shit, 14 years ago, but you know, close enough for jazz.

I can't stick my fist in her personality

And I can't put my penis in her college degree.

I can't covertly take commute-hour upskirt shots with my phone of the cute way that she laughs when we're together and displays how she truly and deeply loves me.

I'm a face man. I mean, a pretty face comes before all else in my book. This seems so uncommon, I don't even know if "face man" is a proper term. It sounds more like a serial killer's code name.

I don't think faces entirely count. You can see a face anywhere. There isn't a lot of urge to get women to remove their masks and veils so you can see their hot naked faces. I get where you're coming from and respect it, I just don't think it's really germane.

For me it's important that everything be acceptable. I can't take this stuff just piecemeal. I mean, yes, I'm largely a breast man, but I can also appreciate some nice legs and a bad ass could just spoil the whole deal. I guess you could call me a "package man".

FALSEPROPHET taps BELGAND on the shoulder.

BELGAND turns around.

FALSEPROPHET

I get the basics and applaud you on them, but I'm still a tad confused on the specifics. Are you not gay? Are you implying that I am not gay (many thanks, but I already knew this)? Was my statement not "gay" or something? I'm confused.

...

But not sexually.

"Package man"

Yeah, that's a little gay.

No, Leslie Jordan is a little gay. Calling yourself a "package man" is like the Attack of the 50-foot Elton John.

But hey, you can be an ass man, if you want to.

PS: for all California's in here, vote No on Prop 8.

Back to your regularly scheduled chubbying/laming (depending on what channel you're on).

Um, what is Prop 8? Just saying the name doesn't really convince me that I should vote either way. Also, there is only one California, but there may be multiple Californians .

Discount bus fares for war widows?

basically, forget your unnecessary apostrophe.
and the horse it came in on, i guess.

Lamed for uncalled-for local politics mention.

Vote "yes" for a Sarah Palin/Ann Coulter sandwich for Rowboat in '08!

Excellent as it was clearly intended to be perceived in such a fashion in a bit of the sort of joking homoerotic subtext that the kids seem to find so amusing these days.

And yes, No on Prop 8 is pretty damned important. It is the bill that will make same-sex marriage unconstitutional in California because the people trying to ban it lost in court for being discriminatory asshats. Pat and Rob Huggins wanna get married that is their business.

Homoerotic? Dude, they're just the bread on this sandwich.

No, this will be a very straight sandwich.

That is gay as cum on a moustache

God, I love that expression. Thank you for being only the second person I've ever known who uses that.

I agree, the face is very important, maybe crucial, in attracting me.

For me it's even more vague, the facial expression. I just can't get into someone who doesn't smile honestly.


Hey Face Man! Dirk Benedict is sooo hot, he has Hot Lips.

Isn't anyone a pubic area man?

No. That puts you too close to being a hole man. Holes men leave the most raw of porno lying around and don't care. They still read skin mags. Do not become a hole man.

you can be an ass man if you want to, you can leave your friends behind

you can be an ass man if you want to. you can leave your friend's behind.

I am not interested in my friend's behind.

yeah, you seem pretty UP YOURS.

honestly though, no ill will. *smiley face here goes.*

There is no way you can insult, annoy, or affect me in any way by pointing out the fact that my head is up my ass.

The reason I have my head up my ass in the picture is because I chose to use a picture with my head up my ass.

It would have been quite foolish of my to use that picture of me if it could leave me vulnerable to ridicule surpassing the self-ridicule of using it in the first place.

In other words, no offense taken.

"This next song is about the song that it is."
Isaac Brock

cause your friends don't dance like there's ass in their pants so I won't rock their can

That doesn't even rhyme.

That doesn't even rhyme.

*glares intensely*

What the fuck is wrong with you.

It didn't need to. It was perfect.

Indeed. Rhyming would have made it bad.

Even worse than just being an ass man is wanting to look at the ass of someone who would wear those. That is not a good ass. Nobody with a nice ass would ever wear those. Those are for women with huge, unpleasant asses.

Small and shapely is the desired ass.

Wrong.


I know the lyrics to this, yet I do not listen to rap music. (I also have entirely too much of the video photographically memorized.)

Yeah you and basically every white person ever. Seriously.

i hardly ever watch anything but what my dvr records (lots of adult swim) so i have to ask in all seriousness,

which video is this?

Really? No recognition of Sir Mixalot???

[i]Oh my god her butt is so round, she's like one of those rappers girlfriends...[i]

nachos I think you just got SPRUNG!

oh... that song.
yeah, i never saw the video.
i am lame (awesome.)

This is just to say

I have forgotten
the backslash

FUCK YOU BBCODE!

OHHHHHH SHIIIIIT

Guess you got to go as Octa Fish Octas if you're gonna be writing poetry like that.

You're pretty picky for a bassist.

Damn, you've sure got me fingered!

No, that was theirateturk. A rear-view mirror might help you to keep track of who's doing what.

Lamed for failing to appreciate my clever pun off of hamscout's possible pun.

What if she had the flag on her face?

Flag? What flag? That doesn't make any sense! Besides, the issue is with her terrible, giant ass.

I wouldn't fuck her for my country with the flag on her face and a stolen dick. Wheatus song, you reminded me of it. I don't make sense, I make dollars. Hundreds of dollars.

I don't think there's anything I would do for my country. Definitely not an unattractive lady. I might even spurn having sex with an attractive lady if I knew that was the purpose of it though it would depend on the specific circumstances.

If she had a flag on her face I would probably have to set it her head on fire. I do not wish to do this. Ladies, please do not put objects that are so clearly designed to be immolated upon your person.

Wow. That was vitriolic. If you hate your country so much, why don't you move? (I do not know what country you live in. Perhaps it is one which will not allow you to leave.)

Eh, there aren't really any better options to pick from.

Still, flags are for burning. It is the way of things.

Fuck off, my country is awesome. We are way better than you.

As someone who has often made big stands about hating my current country (who has since decided that this country ain't half bad at all, mind you) let me just stick up for people who are unhappy with their country and such.

It's pretty much hard to leave the United States, the only country with which I have experience. You have to have a job lined up in your foreign country of choice, and specifically with Canada, it is has to be a job that they can't easily find a Canadian to do. Emigrating is a lot tougher than people seem to think. If it were as simple as loving it or leaving it, I think a lot of people would've, in fact, left. Not that I agree with that sentiment, but back a few years ago when I was a little more...simple in my vitriol, I found out leaving a country is a lot harder than saying you'll do it.

Don't hate your country. Hate your government, or popular culture, or military agenda, or whatever is shitty wherever you live. Your country are your peers. The are the people that you have to share this shitty experience with. If anything, you should work together with your country to change those things you don't like. If you don't have the will to change your condition, you don't have the right to complain about it.

However, this may not apply to you. I'm just a dick on the internet.

This is excellent. I like your thinking here.

You have a valid point and I can agree with it. The greater problem is that I really loathe most of my peers. They are the reason that this country is largely fucked-up.

The country on the whole, however, I have no real feelings for nor do I think anyone should. Try to care about making things better, but steer well clear of the nationalism. Basically every country is more or less equally fucked some are just fucked in slightly different ways.

Thieving dicks, are we? That's a strange turn of events to be sure. Now that you mention it, I don't think I would EVER bone ANYTHING with a STOLEN dick. That is odd beyond all imagining.

Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em!

You know what the worst kind of ass is? That long, white ass so popular in the early 1990s.

What the hell is this? Why would anyone be okay with this?

aww fuck just trust that the butt suxXx

*throws up in mouth*
My GAWD! Does she have Joseph Merrick in her trousers??


thongs make so much more sense after seeing this image

Mr. Merrick has trouble flossing.

How is a thong going to help this woman whose ass hangs down onto the back of her thighs?

In my opinion, the panty lines help immensely by making it seem as if her ass actually stops at the top of her legs, instead of continuing on far past any aesthetic boundary.

See, back in the day, jeans weren't cut for women, so they wore men's jeans, which often meant their otherwise attractive asses got squeezed in odd ways. It was a rougher world then.

now they are called Mom Jeans.

*cue link to SNL commercial on youtube.*
"i love my mom jeeeans"

Seriously, I can remember being in elementary school, 3:00, all the moms picking up the kids and every single (white) one wearing the mom jeans. Same hairstyles, same jackets, same bags.

There is no reason to ever have something written on your ass, ever .

My mom has a dream though, a dream to get a pair of those tacky things custom-printed with the word "Gassy".

My mom is a very funny lady.

Gassy ass, and you're welcome.

I had a dream that my dad was eating Cheetos (no one in my family eats Cheetos) and somehow managed to make a huge orange stain no less than 2 feet in diameter on a new carpet upstairs. He then went down to the laundry room cabinet in search of carpet cleaner, but only found tons of bubblewrap and hoodia flavored drink mixes in place of the cleaner. He then asked my mom, frustrated, where the carpet cleaner was and she informed him that she had moved it to the basement to make room for the bubblewrap/diet drinks. My dad got really pissed and stomped downstairs.

Then I woke up.

Anybody care to illuminate what the FUCK is going on in my head? Thanks.

Well son, you were dropped on your head along with a bag of oranges when you were very young, and it made quite a stain.

This is actually quite clear:

You need to buy a scratch-off lottery ticket, but don't scratch it off. Give it to the first homeless man you see.

Then buy four bottles of men's cologne, four different brands, all cheap. Blend them, two parts from the first bottle, three parts from the second bottle, five parts from the third bottle, and one part from the fourth bottle. Put a very small amount of the mixture on each wrist.

Go to the nearest casino. Give a very large tip to the second cocktail waitress. Put a dollar token into the correct slot machine, and you will win the jackpot.


I wish I could have a dream that was this easy to interpret.

This will be the sequel to The Alchemist

You've got mad cow. Or Dropsy.

I think it's more like The Fear . If he sees his dead grandmother crawling up his leg with a knife in her teeth, then diagnosis confirmed.

Chubby for the Hunter S Thompson reference

Beuatiful fucking tits, man!

I had a dream wherein I possessed the power of laser heat-vision, but never used it on anything

A comment left by valrus was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by meddle, rowboat, Tad-, milkpants, biff)

It apparently didn't.

But a day later, it did! Pinch my loaf.

Nobody Scores is some esoteric shit.

When you say "esoteric" just hear "awesome" and I know that we are both correct.

No. He means esoteric. Didn't you see the various Kabbalistic references and structures? This strip was tied in with traditions going back to before the books of Moses were written! Can't you see it? Are you so blind?!

Oh wait. Brain in jar = no eyes. My bad.

How is it that Achewood is the only comic on the internet that isn't complete shit? How does that even happen? There have been so many people in the world who've tried to do this and Onstad is the only guy who ever figured it out? That's an insane ratio. It seems like there should at least be two or three good ones out there. It just blows my mind.

Your rant is based on an incorrect assumption. Please go look at some other webcomics. Such as: Dinosaur Comics, Perry Bible Fellowship, Daisy Owl, Truck Bearing Kibble, Thingpart, Penny Arcade, or Sam and Fuzzy. These comics are not complete shit, and are quite good to various extents.

Maybe the problem is you.

One! One mediocre web comic apologist!
Two! Two mediocre web comic apologists!
Three! Three mediocre web comic apologists!
Four! Four mediocre web comic apologists!
FOUR MEDIOCRE WEB COMIC APOLOGISTS!
AH AH AH AH AH!


I'm just saying, Sinfest, Irregular Webcomic, and LUCID TV have never let me down. Not to mention tekende's list.

he is only holding up three fingers.

One! One smart ass commentator/critic. One!

you just can't see the other finger

It's in his pants

As in, It's actually his penis or It's up his ass ?

BOTH

OK, OK. This has been fun, but now I have to say that, yes, I was going too far in saying what I said about web comics. I was feeling feisty, I guess. "Complete shit" was overly harsh. It was a rant and it was (to an extent) based on an incorrect assumption. I spent last night and today checking out all of the comics mentioned above and this (whether or not anybody gives two fucks) is what I thought:

Dinosaur Comics - Funny, but does not properly utilize the medium. If you're a good writer but can't be bothered with actual comic art, why not just be a writer?

Perry Bible Fellowship - Completely good. I will now read this comic.

Daisy Owl - Wouldn't be out of place in any newspaper comics section. It would be the best one there, but would still fit right in.

Truck Bearing Kibble - Obviously painstakingly rendered art unfortunately ends up looking like a Hallmark card. That wouldn't be such a big deal if it were any more than just vaguely interesting.

Thingpart - Pretty good, actually. Not great, but certainly far from "complete shit."

Penny Arcade - Really? Really?

Sam and Fuzzy - I am not a 15-year-old girl.

Sinfest - See above review of Daisy Owl, minus the vague half-compliment.

Irregular Webcomic - Not a comic. Disqualified.

LUCID TV - Very impressed. I love the style of the art and was continually surprised by the path of the humor.

So, ultimately the only one that I plan on returning to on a regular basis will be P.B.F. But point taken. There are some good things out there.

All that having been said, I would hope that we all can at least agree that while Achewood may not be the only good web comic, it is the best by a ridiculous margin.

Yes?

And the best part is PBF hasn't updated in months so you'll be returning to it but it won't have anything new to offer.

Well, it'll be an enjoyable romp through the archives while it lasts.

It always is.

but apparently PBF and Achewood both have relationships with Dark Horse, which means, well, it looks like my comic book pimp is going to be able to get that extra set of gold teeth after all

Oh finally. Good for Kenny.

xkcd deserves no mention?
Cyanide and Happiness hahaha.
I decided that that comic is not so great.

Dude, we done been around the block on some xkcd. If you don't know I feel about that yet then you just ain't been payin' attention.

My question is why does everyone hate Dinosaur Comics for some reason? I'll admit Ryan North is insanely loquacious but that's what makes it funny! The early stuff was just him painfully trying to wedge in the fact that it's the same panel of clip art every time but about midway through he just kinda says FUCK IT and that's the truly bizarre stuff came about. Like when he added the entire Angriest Dog In The World universe into his own universe.

Seriously it takes a while but it grows on you.

Sje just drop the xkcd stuff you are like an evangelist at a Christopher Hitchens seminar, you are well meaning but no one will listen to your message.

Oh, I was just making an observation and asking what he thinks of C&H.
I now regret it. You guys are making me feel bad. :(

Don't feel too bad. I can't stand Dinosaur Comics, and love xkcd (at least the last year or so). I am with you, my diminutive brother

Who doesn't like Dinosaur Comics? Where are these people, what is wrong with them, do they dislike asofterworld also? I don't think I want to hang out with those kinds of people.

someone should mention picturesforsadchildren

Oh, I know. I was making an observation. You decided that xkcd deserves no mention.

I'll give them another shot someday. I can only do so much growing in a twenty-four hour period.

Dresden Codak has great art, but I'm not certain how you'll feel about the rest of it. It just got done with a very lengthy piece that... well, probably was not to everyone's tastes. Still, it reminds me heavily of the wonderful A Lesson Is Learned, But the Damage is Irreversible of which it once did a tribute strip.

One of the best things about DC was the link to Rice Boy. I fuxin enjoyed DC very much, but... I wanted it to be longer.

No love for Scary go Round? Intelligence doesn't have to be overt, you know. Dr. McNinja is also fun.

At the tail end of this thread I'm going to mention one of my personal favorites that has yet to be mentioned.. anyone else read Girl Genius?

I basically went with a top 3 "most likely to appeal to someone who likes Achewood" at least in my opinion.

I do read Girl Genius, as well as about a couple dozen others (eg. Skin Horse, Gunnerkrigg Court, Overcompensating/Wigu, Wonderella) on a regular basis but considering he apparently took the time to read every suggestion it probably wins not to overwhelm him.

By the way if you have too much spare time I recommend all of those.

DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT PUPKIN ANYMORE I MEAN sheesh

Where can I find more pictures of people with their brain leaking outside their eye sockets and pooling on their breasts?

4chan.org

That's where I go for all my pictures-of-peop-with-their-brain-leaking-outside-their-eye-sockets-and-pooling-onto-their-breast needs!

more like gurochan.

Your mom is a lot of things

No, no. There are precisely three reasons to wear sweatpants:

1) you are proactively avoiding gainful employment

2) you are shopping at Wal-Mart

3) you are at home alone on a holiday that is often marked by some sort of celebration, eating cereal for dinner, and taking a few good swigs of vodka that is so low-grade that it is sold in a plastic jug before falling asleep on your couch with the TV on, using a half-eaten bag of Cheetos as a makeshift pillow.

4) You are attending a class at the University of New Hampshire.

5) you're sleeping and you ain't givin half a fuck

6) You just got out of rehab or the hospital

7) You live in a trailer

8) You go to any college every established in the United States and most in Canada.

EVER*

9) you're a competative swimmer going to morning practice

We had sweat shirts as well, with our emblem. Elko Anacondas! I think I spelt Anacondas wrong, I don't care, I was on swim team.

Although not particularly hilarious, tripleg gets the chub for pointing out the reason the pants were even invented. SPORTS!

Eww... you barbarian.

Sports are basically awfulness distilled down into an activity that is not just having sex with a nasty girl wearing trashy sweat pants with something written on the ass that she has been convinced to pay far too much for because some idiot "designer" decided that ugly clothes are cool because stupid people were already wearing them and looking exceptionally ugly doing so and that made it "street".

"Street" just about anything (not including food, of course) is generally the worst that you can get next to sports.

Sports are great, you are wrong.

Oh come on, obviously if every culture in the entire world disagrees with him, he must be right.

But those cultures are not composed exclusively of people who like sports. So it's not really a valid comparison. I could just as easily say that there are people around the world who agree with me that sports are dogshit.

I could argue but I just woke up so

FUCK

YOU

You are saying sport is an activity that is not just having sex (superlatives aside).

What exactly are you saying?

Hell, it go away from me. Reading it again even I don't know. Let's just accept that watching, participating in, or in any way doing anything that might be related somehow to sports is worse than having Roseanne fart on you for a solid half-hour. After she'd been eating the stuff that Taco Bell was about to throw out.

So physical exertion is out? We are not supposed to enjoy exerting ourselves physically, as in... bend any of our joints or stretch any muscles?

So we should be rendered to brains, floating in jars.

Oh look.

Don't you know you if you imagine yourself exercising it has almost as much benefit as actual exercise. If you can't keep fit just using your mind you are just a low barbarian. There is no excuse for not reading eighteen hours a day.

Actually, the barbarian jab was a reference to the origins of the word. Barbarians were defined by the ancient Romans as people who wore pants. At least, that's what I was told by my latin teachers.

yeah, because god forbid anyone engage in any activity that might bring them pleasure, peer-bonding, and physical fitness. and for god's sake, can you imagine the anarchy if people got a sense of accomplishment from something other than being a dick to strangers on the internet?

Psst! Guys! Someone already worked out that cerebral activities are infinitely more meaningful than the physical! Did no-one send you the memo?

Someone tell my heart, because it just keeps demanding bypasses.

The title of imaginary portly pop sensation Obeseia's hit single?

I never, ever wore or even owned sweat pants and when in college. I never understood the idiots who came to class in their pajamas either. If I can't take a shower first I'm not leaving the house.

I will still maintain that while people will indeed do it, there is no valid reason to wear sweatpants.

I haven't worn sweatpants in 2 years and I always shower before my morning class. SO.

Showering is such a nuisance, when you just need to go pick something up quick. That's why I have a hat, and a hoodie, and many pairs of jeans, and deodorant, and ride my bicycle. Of course he showered today, he is only smelly because of all the riding!

heh heh.

Nope. I won't even go out into the yard without showering. The only possible exception is if today is a street sweeping day and you forgot to move the car. Then the possibility of an expensive ticket allows you a brief pass to go move the car across the street and nothing else.

I always considered comfort a valid reason. Wearing sweatpants is like wearing no pants, except you don't get arrested.

That's nothing, you should see all the girls wearing leggings... as pants.

*shudder* Why does something being "trendy" excuse its ugliness? Exhibit A: Uggs. Dear lord, save me from those awful Uggs.

Well if it wasn't stupid it wouldn't be trendy. It would be "classic" and it wouldn't need to be justified. Trendy is just the explanation for why people are doing something stupid because they briefly think it's interesting and haven't yet realized that it isn't and may actually be incredibly stupid.

I've definitely had enough of girls wearing ugly tight pants and pulling up their ugly boots over them.

Sometimes the skirt and tights look can work. I think we see a lot more of it though because it's almost never quite warm enough to wear skirts otherwise.

I for one think a fit young lady wearing leggings is a welcome sight. Stupid, yes, most likely ensnared in Uggs, but damn, it sculpts and shapes legs and booty like nothing else. College is the best.

/perv

Whoa. I guess I finally need to splurge on some curtains.

I've had some experience with that. Make sure you wipe off before she gets back from work

Can someone come up with a "HEDONISMBOT ALERT" animated gif that we can link to in a comment, just for comments like rowboat's?

Basically like a Bat Signal, but for pervision and debauchery. Try to include a shot from a Pasolini film in it, somehow...

It'd ruin the surprise.

All driving BMW's and shopping at Abercrombie even though they're over 50 and look like bad leather. Got their Blackberry's, all bitchin about superficial and unimportant shit. Fuck Starbucks, I'd rather work at McDonalds.

And they use the brown lip-liner that makes their mouths look like assholes.

What is Beef doin in the Bubble Lounge? Beef is married!

man why hate on a guy? no sex in the "bubble lounge" in quite sure.

Getting a private dance I suspect.

Some ladies do not mind this. Some ladies like to be present. Some ladies like to join in and/or get their own lap dances. These are the best of ladies.

I found that encouraging my girlfriend to take lap dancing classes from Good Vibrations was actually the cheapest option. I get free lap dances, nobody get angry, and I get to go home with the stripper.

Still, it feels a bit like making carnival food at home.

My love would try to entice me to the clubs with offers of free lap dances... but what need had I when I had her?

A comment left by belgand was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by dwodles, Orskasm, Axhoola, Magreaux_Dogg, mattpowell74)

Dude, I would advise against selling your own turn of phrase. That ranks you a half step above the kid who raises his hand a minute before the bell goes off and reminds the teacher that she forgot to assign homework.

Yeah, it shows that belgand is of low mind.

I KNEW it

Yep. It is the basest.

He has a point. I constantly find it odd that people do not compliment me on my wit and sass, especially when I go to great pains to elucidate where and how I was particularly witty and sassy.

A fair assessment and I shall reply with appropriate apologies.

I wasn't certain what was being responded to, however, as sexy ladies also often bring mad chubs.

It mostly spoke for itself. I was impressed by the visual, until you decided to act as RB. Way to go pal.

I think we all liked the quote, you got 11 chubbies. That should be enough.

man, he ain't slow-dancing with no dame in a hotel room.

During my time as a bouncer in a gentleman's cabaret, I noted that many married/long term couples came in. My theory on this was that the atmosphere and scantily (un)clad women mentally "charged the batteries" for furious sex later. If there was any solicitation by them to rendezvous later that night after we closed up with any of the ladies, I never knew it.

As to why Molly "let" Beef go out...considering his near-crippling bouts of depression, I think she'd go for almost anything that would allow the poor guy to relax. It either that, or him screaming at moths or worrying about dead children (sigh) again .

Postscript: As I went to hit "Post", David Rose's "The Stripper" came up on random shuffle on my computer. I think my lappy is trying to tell me something.

Dude. Lappy? Seriously? Seriously!?

I'm sorry if giving my laptop a diminutive nickname offends your delicate sensibilities.

And calling me dude ? Seriously? Seriously?

It's not Lappy 486 is it?

The man can name his 'top anything he wants. ANYTHING!

Viva Zapatos!

My wife named my computer Consuelo. She tells her family it is my mistress.

my ex-girlfriend's class called her spanish teacher Consuelo under their breaths.

i kinda miss that girlfriend.

the end.

I'm sure your aim will improve with practice.

Anthony Quinn!

Anthony Quinn!

Anthony Quinn!

Anthony Quinn!

If he were calling his computer 'Navvy' I'd be serially worried.

What if your laptop tried to give you a lap dance. That would be weird.

Last time my laptop gave me a lap dance, it was because the hot battery got a bit too close to the ol' "Junior Smilebuddha". Wasn't very serene that day, i can tells ya.

Oh, don't put your laptop on your lap if you have testicles! That is, if you wish to produce issue some day.

Junior Smilebuddha has taken the lower way.

The only time I've been to a strip club was with my girlfriend and some other friends of ours. While I am not able to speak for anyone else (OK, I can speak for at least one friend whom I know didn't get any), but there was absolutely no sexing upon returning home.

But yeah, Molly doesn't seem the jealous type. I don't understand it myself. I've got no problems if she wants to check out other guys (and yet, she seemingly has no interest in this... I find that more disturbing) and it's rather complimentary when other guys check her out.

The stripper of indeterminate speciation does not want the older bear to realize that he is the little spoon. That would not befit the winner of the Badass Games.

Wikipedia just has everything.

aw connie is the little spoon

Man this is like the only time you are EVER going to hear Cornelius utter the words "open up a can of dumbass" in that order.

His cleverly vocalised quotation marks keep him on the good side of crass.

By this point, I'd take the quotation marks on good faith, knowing him.

Maybe it's just from around here, but I don't know if you guys have ever heard of "opening a can of whoop(/whup)ass"? It's a good pun off that, anyhow.

Where I am from (Earth) people say that a lot.

Eh, it's just that it sounds very Oklahoman, so I wasn't quite sure if it was A Thing everywhere or just around these parts.

That's alright; I still think you're wicked awesome.

Compliments? Over the internet?

... Maybe assetbar IS different!

(I kid, rest of the internet. I'm sure you guys are cool sometimes too.)

Oh my gawd, you said wicked.

That was so retahdid of me.

I am from Maine. This is a fact.

I thought it was tubular.

New England=/=California.

"Open a can of whoopass" is a very Oklahoma kind of thing to say.

Ironically, even though I have spent the majority of my 46 years in Oklahoma, I first heard this phrase used in Texas.

Although I have heard it subsequently many time in Oklahoma.

"Open up a can of dumbass" is a term quite appropriate for Oklahoma though. It should probably be our state motto.

My Latin's a bit rusty, but...

Recludemus amulla stulti asini.
"We open up a jar of dumb ass."

Wow, cool!

Thanks!!

Yes. Yes it is.

You could have at least put the word for bottle in the accusative. amullam

Sorry. I'm actually quite terrible at the language myself.

Ugh, hah. I was concentrating so hard on the vocabulary, I forgot basic grammar. You'd think with four years of study, I could at least get that right.

Pyxem asini stulti recludimus.
For jar, it's
Ollam asini stulti recludimus.
The verb has an i , not an e .

Really? I think my computer dictionary has a typo then - puts it in the wrong conjugation. My hard-copy dictionary has it right for what you're saying (and I'm more inclined to believe that and you... the digital one has been a bit sketchy before).

'course, had I been fully awake and thinking (my Latin teacher would cringe to see what I wrote, but then again, I've never been any good at English to Latin, only the converse), I would have translated it in the subjunctive to show ability... probably a bit more threatening and in line with the English connotation. :D

Maybe you had typed in "will" by accident. It is correct if it was in the future tense.
Quid nuntia ab septentrionale ferres?

Well, I think it wrong to say ass...


Arse is the correct pronunciation.

It's similar to the time Flavor Flav showed up with a blinking tooth and he said "That's so awesome!" But those were in the early testing-out characters days. They're much more developed now.

And you know that wikipedia page is going to be trolled by some clever person in the next hour and a half.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Beef himself.

Scroll up, kiddo

Cornelius is, as I imagined, ripped.

A comment left by rachel was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by johnnybaverage, symbolsoup, daidai, gladi8orrex, calef, Belgand, prius_chaser, ActualTaunt, Vee, TheGoodwillGirl, tripleG, HNimrod, aHatOfPig, ArthurDentLives, anewcede, usversusthem, Mastronaut, nickb285)

You are so completely full of terribleness for making me thing of Achewood in any terms that could also be applied to Family Guy. Seriously, surface tension is the only thing keeping terribleness from spilling out of you and getting your caps-lock happy fingers all sticky.

I think Ray needs a holiday.


Does Cornelius Bear discuss grandpop culture?

You played this game yesterday, I don't know if you should test your luck again.

PS if you make a pun on now playing the game "SORRY" I'm going to throw up and die.

THE GAME

I was wondering where that was. I had lost it.

Screw you, actualtaunt, FUCK YOU.

:(

Now now. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

OH GODDAMMIT.

i lamed it. it was me. seriously.

I thought about it, but no dice

I almost hit the Post button before realizing in the last moments that a true pun artist would have struck at the throat and hit me with a SORRY reference.

Couldn't let it happen. Huge anti-pun lobbyist here. Got you marked for death. No biggie, though.

Daidai lied.

I'm confused at the hostility here. I just wanted to be friendly, but I guess it's back to square one.

Nothing personal. Puns killed my family and left me for dead at the age of four. Had to make my way through the world as a coke mule. You know, no one expects a little kid. Swore to exterminate puns on my ninth birthday. Nothing personal at all, just have to wipe puns from the face of the earth. Hired in 2005 by Congressional anti-pun lobbyists to serve as a figurehead of the anti-pun movement after the McCoulley Anti Pun Act failed to make it out of the House again. Started a splinter group to take things into my own hands and exterminate puns while waiting for the government to catch up. If I get caught, I have faith I'll be pardoned once my bill becomes a law and my crimes are legalized. Nothing personal. Just hate puns.

Y'know?

im guessing you were never very good at clue.

I have to admire your tenacity. I've said it once, I'll say it again; I get more death threats in the wake of making a pun than anything else I do. I actually was physically threatened as a result of a series of puns back and fourth about the sea (it really was squid pro quo). The natural human reaction to wordplay is violence.
But I persevere; my people are long suffering, and long shall I suffer. But I swear that I will not give up.

Daidai, you are a worthy op pun ent.

this is fierce. all secret enemies and shit, like in unbreakable

Indeed. They are nemeses now and 'til the end of their days. It is at that moment, as they lay dying together, consumed entirely within their struggle until it was less about the puns than it was about simply vanquishing their long-hated foe, that they realize a shared bond over spoonerisms and die.

"The natural human reaction to wordplay is violence."

I would amend that slightly to read, "The natural human reaction to bad wordplay is violence."

Though in truth I've never been violent all over any of my friends who are incessant punsters. Because of this restraint I claim the title of Minor Nerd Gandhi. And if I ever work collecting coal, I'll be a Miner Nerd Gandhi. Dammit! [punches self in face and junk repeatedly]

i want to open another account named 'kiwkiw' to go along with 'daidai'.

...just sayin'.

Your comment was pretty witty but come on man, puns are IMPORTANT.

Who knows what wordplay lurks in the minds of men?

THE PUNDIT KNOWS!!


Subtle. Well played.

Thanks, Good sir.

"well played"... genius
That one almost slipped past, and then it made my day.

OH GOD THERE ARE MORE

He will rue the daidai this beauraucat took on the vigilanti punishment of all scrabble gansta's.

Game on, mo' fo'. Game on.

We've got a triple letter score to settle with him.

how many points for "boxing glove", bitch?

Oh no, now you're just scrabbling at the bottom of the bag for more puns.

Word.

Points taken.

A fart and a half?

Funny how this comment is so isolated, and yet has a certain resonance and meaning of its own. Rat farts.

That's how Autre rolls, man.

Your standard Cornelius model goes from asleep to sassy in 5.8 seconds.

Referring to him as "Raymond" and the neologic phrase "open a can of dumbass" make this a good 3.7, but I have to round up to 4. Damn you inadequate rating system!

I always felt the Connie should have called him Raymond on a more regular basis, but now I see that it's best used when he's telling him off, all matron-like.

The paternalistic overtones that Cornelius can bring to bear definitely give him an advantage when telling someone off. Each character generally has their own telling off super power. It is a key ability to have.

Bring to bear...

I'm sorry. I've been infected. The pain, she is unbearable.

STOP IT STOP IT EEEAAAUAUUUGHHH! EAAAAAUUUUUUNGHAHH!

um...

that's what she said..?

*lamestorm*

...as the actress said to the bishop.

what i wanna know is how you say what_happened without saying underscore?

what understrike happened?

I believe underscore is pronounced as a low growl.

To me, this is funny avatar/comment synergy.

But I'm insane.

_______

it took me three passes to realize those were underscores. chubby

*shudder

you say it with a little bit of an emphasized pause

That is such an outstanding amount of sass for a silly ol' bear to muster.

Does anyone else imagine Cornelius as a kind, classy, grown-up Pooh-Bear?

Pooh's younger cousin. He learned from that fool's mistakes and left for the city, instead of sitting on the porch of his double wide, sippin' on honey beers.

Pooh's all right. He takes care of his shit.

I always heard his voice as being somewhere between Droopy and Mr. Belvedere. Low key, but poignant.

Beef is so wrong he doesn't even know. Those girls spend small fortunes on their high-speed, low-drag, NASA-designed dalliance disguises.

Do you think 9-inch, clear, stilettos grow on trees?

Do you think they can just dig a hole and unearth a glow-in-the-dark pink thong?

Do you think baby oil can be mined from actual bastard children? If it only it were that simple.

although I've always imagined Halloween store close-outs are a pretty good deal for strippers with a novelty act.

I wish my imagination could be applied to practical situations.

(On another note, I once found an item of feminine underwear whilst digging a hole. I wavered between the ideas of keeping it as a grim memento and calling the police, but in the end did the logical thing by fashioning a canary harness from the elastic.)

Sadly not. Their wild gyrations and abandoned prostrations require special space-age design and the tightest of manufacturing tolerances. Even then, those delightful little gowns and absurdly invigorating outfits are not long for this demimonde.

You know the person who invented clear heels pretty much makes all their money from strippers...

I always wondered how you could dance or strip in those. I mean, you don't have any balance and I'd expect that getting clothing off over them would be a problem as thing with small straps and such would tend to catch on the heel portion.

Sometimes I have to admit that strippers have valid skills that the rest of us are simply not capable of. We really ought to learn to appreciate the skill of top notch strippers.

It's a well known fact that strippers who can't afford their transparent high heels often just dance on their tip toes. Like women who would draw lines down the side of their legs during WW2, when rationing made the acquisition of tights impossible...

According to some pictures I've seen posted here, they also frequently drew their panties around their ankles, and their groceries falling to the ground...

But was celery present? If not I doubt that Mr. Frahm would be interested.

Connie's got fat Philippe levels of sass going on at the end. He's all treating Ray like Ray's the guy that misplaces apostrophes.

"Whatever, fag ."

Maybe my favorite sassy Phillippe quote. If he ends up like that in future comics I'll die laughing at every strip. However, I don't know how he will grow up while remaining five.


"...if there's one thing you can't trust it's a man and a woman."

One of the truer statements ever said in Achewood, and Lord knows the dialog in this comic is more true words per panel than the Oxford Dictionary.

Connie plays it all sassy when it's time for a chicken to wake up.

Time for a chicken to wake up? Dude, bear's been asleep about 15 minutes! You wake me up after 15 ticks in bliss, moving things from "perfect" to less-so, you getting my sass, and I don't give a flying apostrophe what time o' day it is!

This strip gets a 5 for the last line alone!

Listen, this is what just happened.

So I came on to the latest comic thinking, I want to get involved in whatever's going on on Assetbar today, but obviously there are like fucktons of comics, so I thought okay I want to find really good comments and have discussions with those comments, so I opend up the "find" bar on Safari and typed in "fly" and like this comment was the ONLY ONE with the word fly in it. Before I did that I typed in "rad" but there were like eight results, and a couple of them were just drskradley's username, and I was all like SCREW THAT I CAN'T MAKE A DECISION OUT OF EIGHT RESULTS TO JOIN IN A CONVRSATION, so I picked a new word and that word was "fly" as I have mentioned, which lead me here.

So the thing is, after this whole entire backstory, I should maybe actually have something of relevance to say. But I bloody don't. So this is weaksauce. Ummm. Okay. Something interesting. Okay how's this. On the cab ride home, my flatmate started talking whale (a la Finding Nemo) to the driver. This was basically the most hilarious thing to happen ever and I hope whoever reads this appreciates the hilarity.

And also appreciates the fact that I am like so incredibly drunk that I think this entire comment is completely a good idea. Oh man. Hahahahahahahaha. Lames a plenty? Oh maybe. There is a smallish part of my brain saying "stop don't post this comment you are basically a travesty when drunk and there is no reason that all of Assetbar should know" but then there is a much bigger part that is just going "AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA EVERYTHING IS HILARIOUS" and i am inclined to agree with that part, because basically the thing is, everything is hilarious.

Listen, I'm going to click "post" before this gets any longer.

Sorry I didn't bring the goods for you, Heccs. I'll try better from now on, knowing that my name is what comes up when people search for Rad things.

That could've been made to be majorly egotistical.

Oh listen by the way Doc Skrad, I didn't actually read the comments that you posted which I was lead to by Finding "rad" so don't be all offended or nothing, they may in fact have been extremely superfly. It's just that at the time, I had no type of patience for reading them.

Guess who just got...

drunk agaaain!

(I'm at uni, don't judge me, I do not think it is rad to have alcoholism, okay maybe only a little.)

Wait, SHIT, I immediately regret posting this comment,

Guys I think heccibiggs has a problem with alcohol.

JUST SAY NO.
Alcohol is illegal. Well, it is in America. And America is awesome. So Jesus is upset with you.
Please stop. I don't want my country to invade your country.

Don't worry guys. There will be no drinking for a few days. (Largely because I'm running out of money.)

Fuck that, let's set you up a "it is rad to have alchoholism" paypal account. Maybe send a webcam after hitting a certain amount of donations?

...Do... do you know who you're talking to?

No, but I'd sure love to find out.

Read my giant rant here for a hint and then think about suggesting I be a camwhore.

I never even realized that "woman" thing before. You know, how people really don't say "That stupid man" instead of "That stupid woman."
Well. I asked my friend (who is a girl) if she is a feminist. She said "No!" quite emphatically, expressing annoyance to women who assume that all men are pigs. Apparently a lot of people believe that a feminist is one who thinks women are better than men or should be treated better. No. They should be treated the same.

I read the rant, now I am thinking about suggesting you be a camwhore.

Woh! Woh! Look out, its this guy. I'm totally kidding, and I know what you mean. I apologize and am sorry for the affront.

I've never seen that movie and so have no idea what you are talking about. But I will say that, drunk or not, you should never fuck with Working People like that. It is the lowest you can go.

That having been said, I completely agree that everything is hilarious (even fucking with Working People while young and drunk, oddly enough) and I am glad to be drunk on the internet with you even though you are probably passed out drooling in your chair as I write this.

god nihgt.

Oh my god...

WHAT THE FUCK.



THERE. ARE YOU HAPPY BBC CODE YOU RUINED MY JOKE.

FUCK YOU.

You've got red on you.

NO I DON'T SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

theguitarhero that could.

Hecci:

I was starting to feel special, until I realized that you were talking to me only because I was the first thing to fly out of your search. That said, I loved your post. It was honest and frank, and completely, joyfully drunk. It's alright if you pass out on the floor.

Oh Jesus, oh God . When I woke up this morning I remembered that I had written this here and immediately clasped my face in my hands and went " nooooooo ". What a fucking twat. But also, hahaha score one for drunken logic. "If I type fly or rad into the Find function, it will take me to comments that are fly and rad." Well done.

I hope the assetbar developers are reading this.

fly rad fly rad fly rad fly rad
Try what I did! Only 10K up front!
fly rad fly rad fly rad fly rad

Don't feel bad. If I had a penny for each time I typed "Please to help me find music that is uninteresting enough for my brain to filter out yet not so horrifyingly bad that my ears are severely offended" into Google, all while perfectly sober...

I don't know how to use search engines. This is the confession I am driving at.

I have done that and felt horrible for it.

"GOOGLE FIND ME A SITE FOR SHIRTS THAT ARE COOL BUT NOT STUPID POP CULTURE THINGS OR JUST BAD JOKES ABOUT HOW NORTH CAROLINA LIKES IT ON TOP BUT ALSO NOT IRONIC HIPSTER THINGS AND NOTHING LIKE CAFEPRESS PLEASE OK THANKS"

I'm not sure what you consider cool but these are basically the shit as far as I'm concerned.

threadless is cool, too. also this one other shirt place my best of friends showed me...but i don't remember the link for that one..

(nevermind.)

I was aware of Threadless but nothing there really overwhelms me.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS ALL BOTH OF YOU YOU HAVE DONE BETTER THAN GOOGLE

This is a fundamental problem with Threadless. Sometimes there are great shirts and more often there is a lot of crap. I cannot see how anyone votes for or selects the terrible shirts, but that is the way it sometimes goes. These things tend to go in cycles though.

I think I have about 13 or 14 of their shirts, but it took a lengthy period of time checking out what's available each week. I can't think of anything that I had any real interest in showing up within the past nine months or so.

Lots of their shirts would be better as just random pictures but not really as T-shirts. It's a bigger problem with Snorg, if anyone is familiar with that site.

I have 1 (one) threadless T. It is called "like father like son" or somesuch as that. Being a photographer it is my favorite ever T-shirt.

too bad it's sold out..my photographer friend would love that one.

Oh man...those t-shirts are dogshit. How come you kids are so GOD DAMNED stupid and just do the stupidest thing possible every SINGLE SECOND OF THE GOD DAMNED DAY!

why are you such an asshole? seriously.

theguitarhero, if I upset you by saying I don't like trendy t-shirts on random internet models, I apologize; it was pretty controversial, and I knew the risk I was taking. If this is the most troubling thing in your life, currently, I'm happy that your life is ok.

And I'm such an asshole because I'm older than you. See pogo for further evidence.

Well as long as you apologized...

Oh fineoakstructure, you are awesome by me. You are a grouchy old guy (plus 1), you hate the way young people spend money on clever shirts (plus 2) and you are scotch (plus 3). I want to grow up to be you.

Fucking kids

You want to grow up and be him...fucking kids?!?!!?

Fuckin' kids.

Ask your local chifferobe or bureau about it today.

Sometimes they ask nicely and it's real hard to refuse. 'Specially when they're rad nasty hot. Of course, for me, 'kids' are roughly 17-25. Younger than that and their appeal evaporates.

Yikes.

You mean I should turn them away? That seems unfair to everyone involved.

YIKES.

So is it okay to wait until the 70th trimester?

OH FUCK ME OH HELL DAMN FART [/B]WHAT A GODAWFUL UGLY TITLE PAGE[/B]

This was all I could think for a good 30 seconds.

Oh hell damn fart. Yes.

Oh, c'mon. You don't pay money for dogshit.

I think it's cool that hipsters have their own version of Affliction or Contract Killer. Fewer skulls and angels, more headphones and random computer-generated stuff. Snakes...about equal.

hecci, the models they have for their clearance merch are very attractive.

i want to buy one of their shirts so that i may look as handsome as them.

I'm in love with Alice the Snorg Tees girl.

Is that the redhead or the small brunette one?

OH MY GOD I AM HORRIBLE

Oh wait, I'm thinking of another site. CANCEL THAT.


I am horrible as well.
Allison Stokke.

Oh man, I understand your code. I muft be horrible.


. . . .

Oh. My. God.

I never seen someone so happy to get naked in public.
I mean, this chick has no shame at all.

Shame is highly overrated. Discretion is admirable, however, and would be an equally powerful reason to keep the clothes on.

And that is why I'm in love with her. She has no shame.

That is perhaps the best reason for being in love with someone. You never have to worry that s/he will balk at something you know will be completely mad rutty, but will make you both look like jerks. (Just do it in a space without large mirrors, unless looking like jerks is one of your things.)

You have never seen me.

She looks crazy. Never buy crazy a t-shirt.

I think I know the one you are thinking of. I recall a redhead and a brunette that were abnormally attractive.

This sounds like an inane comment but it is not.

I have a Snorg Tee. It has a Super Mario fire flower and says "this is why i'm hot". I think it's superfly but a huge number of people totally don't get it. When I bought it I thought that like everyone would get it because surely everyone grew up on Mario? But no, apparently not.

PICS PLEASE.
. . . .
Are you sure you grew up in Western Civilization? I don't understand how no one would know who Mario is.

It would be this one (the only pictures I have of me while wearing it are drunk and ugly). I just have no idea how anyone could not get it.

man you know all i was trying to do was see what you look like besides your avaricon
Anyway. I thought that Mario would be on the shirt. But I still understand your flabbergastedness. It should be more recognizable.
Apparently in New York, they call him Mary-o. And they laugh at us for calling him Mah-rio.

Just ask then, dang.

I say Marry-oh. It is the British way.

Do you say Passt-ah, like Gordon Ramsey? That one I do not approve of.

Ri-sooo-toe.

Or Ri-soh-toe I forget how he says it.

Assetbar needs to be able to handle IPA. This is getting ridiculous.

I agree, though there are only a dozen (maybe) Assetbarrist@s who will be able to understand.

India Pale Ale? Awesome!

That was my first impression as well...

Do Americans pronounce it 'possta' or something?

Pah-sta? I try to avoid the word though and I usually name things by their general class of pasta.

I feel as though we should all throw up some pix. maybe...

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/Shobbs/waterfall.jpg

Holy shit, full beard!


Mine is still growing in.

You just posted that picture so I won't be tempted by you, isn't that it? Won't work sje, 'cause I got this real weak spot for redheads. And patience.

If you would like to see what she looks like, go here:
https://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v29/becci88/loneal%20and%20heccibiggs%20club%20things/?start=0

I can't be arsed to make that a real link. Also, it has pictures of the real-world face of our fallen friend

Wait, shit hedonismbot, why do you have that link immediately to hand?

because he is a true friend

Because you are so cutes, and he wants to show off.

Nice pictures.

Wait. Was this at the Achewood party?

Achewood had a party? What the FUCK I am so lame.

There was no Achewood party. loneal came to study in England and we met up a few times and became IRL friends.

How sweet.

That has yet to happen to me here.
Can .. .can someone here be my friend? Like, even just on AIM?

Like . . . please?

Because I have yet to have a friend in my life and . .and . . .
*cries inconsolably*

I will pretend to be your freind SJE46

Quote:
Because I have yet to have a friend in my life

You can follow me around and fetch things now and then. Just keep quiet until spoken to.

Shut up, jerk.

*cries*

I can be your friend on messaging services, but it costs you 50 cents a minute, a dollar if my cam is on

I can be your bodyguard; you can be my long-lost pal.

I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me you can call me Al

I get the feeling that you guys are toying with my emotions.

No really, we should talk. We should start talking today.

why am i so tired? why am i so tired?

Did you study a book you liked?

...we should have an Achewood party. Is Onstad still doing that book tour thing? It could be a thing.

He is.

I hear KaMet will be in Austin and I am very seriously considering that event as well.

I was referring to the Great Outdoor Fight premeir thingie that I don't really don't know much about.

That is EXACTLY the response I was going for. And I will add to the creepy by failing to answer your question

(he pleasures himself to you guys regularly)

The creepiest part is that I posted from work. Why the fuck would I have easy access to that link at work?

We do say Mary-o. It's fun. But we don't say Wary-o, we say War-io.

WAH. WAH. WARIO.

There is no way you can get that wrong.

That's why we say it the right way...?

WAHAHAHAHAHA


Now, Waluigi, that's just a cop out.

I was surprised when I heard about Waluigi. It sounded fake. I knew about Wario from Mario Kart 64, but what is this Waluigi nonsense?

The name actually has a degree of sense behind it. Wario's name, as a pun, actually works in multiple languages. In English and, well, any other language that uses the Roman alphabet, naturally the "W" gives the impression of him being an inverse Mario. But in Japanese, the "Wa" syllable is actually derived from the ikeyoshi "warui", meaning evil. Thus Waluigi might seem like a stupid name to us gaijin, but it makes a degree more sense to the Japanese.

Did you know that or did you research it, because if you knew it, I might not ever know how I should react to you or that piece of information.

I impulse bought their "I drink your milkshake" shirt twenty minutes after I saw There Will Be Blood and I only have a little bit of regret.

Busted Tees, I believe, if you care to check.

No, screw that, I'm a better man than that:


?

Ok seriously it's impossible that all these tshirt companies find so many big titted females.

They are either all fake or those are Youth Smalls.

It really isn't that impossible. This site is run by the College Humor guys, and if I'm correct in guessing all these pictures are taken in New York, then there's 8 million people to offer money to for wearing a t-shirt without a bra. You're bound to attract a few Ds.

man you are going to go insane when you see pornography

titties, titties, titties!

Do you remember how many boobies the porno had?

"So Many Boobies"

Sorry, this should've been there.


Maybe someday, when I grow up, my mom will let me watch one. I want to see what all the fuss is about.

What is the saddest thing?

A 39 year old Assetbar Philippe who can't wait until he's forty so he can finally see his mom's tit.

Yeah, only one of 'em.

Yes. That girl in the shirt with 18 on it. Seeing her pleases me.

As me it does too me as well.

Simmer down there, Kemosabe.

Chubbied for attractive models and raising your expectations of your self. You are better than that.

Thank you for validating my actions. High fives all around.

I kinda liked the Jaguar Love shirts, as much for the notion of jaguar love as anything else. Other designs, meh. Not so much. Cute boys modeling, though. That's a plus.

Jaguar Love is a band, or did you know that?

I surmised this. I do not know them or their music. Hasn't made it to my cave yet. I am so behind times.

It's basically a supergroup formed after The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves both broke up. So if you don't like The Blood Brothers (their lead vocalist is the lead vocalist for JL) you probably won't like Jaguar Love.

fuxin love me some Blood Brothers. Damn. I need to make a mix and throw that on my zune, riding my bike around... his peacock is beast. yes.

It will be no surprise that I know nothing of Jaguar Love's precursor bands. I took up my hermitage quite a while ago, only recently beginning a return to the world. Catching up on years of music is but one task I face.

Let me second the recommendation of The Blood Brothers. If it wasn't for the fact that they ended up heralding a generation of mall screamo that ended up becoming more popular than them, they would be SO FUCKING BIG RIGHT NOW. They are essentially the screamo version of Cap'n Jazz (one of the earliest known emo bands) in the sense that they did so right what their followers did so wrong.

PGMG is ok but TBB is awesome! Warning if you do not like high pitched male vocals you will not enjoy this.

Chubby for loving one of the greatest bands around. I feel like throwing in some lyrics, but I shall refrain.

Their lyrics go without saying; they stanza test of time.

if you don't want anything ironic hipster or """funny""" just look for something plain but cut well. Everyone hates them, but I just don't care their men's stuff is very nice , but underappreciated. Just don't get any of the one's that have dumb stuff written on them.

A warning: If you are not gay, you are going to be a little put off by the models. Don't worry, as long as you aren't getting a V-Neck that goes down to your nipples, the shirts won't make you look gay.

Unfortunately, the store I was really excited to suggest to you/anyone in the market for a new shirt closed down. I guess I was too late to save you, isavedlaurence ;_(

GEEEGH.

Uhh, I'm not exactly built for shrouds. I've seen this site before though and some shirts are alright.

Yeah, what is up with those v-necks that go halfway down the chest? Who wears those?

Hipster doofi.

I thought the boys at Hecci's Crystal City were way cuter. I didn't read any of these guys as particularly gay (and after all these years, the radar is fairly fine-tuned).

Straight guys, don't worry about some article of clothing making you 'look gay.' Doesn't generally work that way, for one. Even if it did (or something else attracts attention), the worst you may have to face is a bit of unwanted attention. It's not like we're gonna knock you down and fuck you. Outside of prison, that's pretty much a straight thing, ya know?

Actually, the whole "It'll make me look gay" fear that us straight guys have probably has more to do with us being afraid our straight male friends will make fun of us or potential female mates will avoid us, as silly as that may sound.

i meane lol whos afrid of querrs

Silly but probably true.

That's what I figure it is, although I am firmly in the "dress well, no matter who you want to fuck" camp. If I see one more guy wearing basketball shorts I will just thonk his forehead, and not in a sexXxy way.

The Nike Thonk.

Not sexxy tho.

what if he is playing basketball

Even if he is. I hate those flour sack baggy rags they wear these days. I much preferred the short shorts they wore in the '70s and earlier '80s. Too gay, I suppose, for the modern manly man. (The current style is admittedly less restrictive, but the old one didn't seem to hold the game back any.)

a gentleman baskets his balls in slacks at all times

You gotta chino that shit.

I basically agree with the whole "dress nice no matter who you want to fuck" statement. Admittedly I am not the toughest dude around but I wouldn't consider myself metrosexual however I do enjoy wearing nice fashionable "hipster" clothes unfortunately I am too broke to buy that much.

Easy words coming out of painted lips. Get some balls and some slacks and let me know what you think of day in, day out, and day back in again.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy wearing a suit now and again, but formal wear has it's name for a purpose.

No woman or gay man will ever turn down a guy in a suit. ZZ Top was right

Ehh... I find the cut of their shirts a bit unpleasant. For one they tend to be rather slim so unless you're in rather good shape it's not going to work. Also I feel that the sleeves tend to be cut in a bit too much and they just feel unpleasant.

I own a few due to other people printing on them, but I'm generally strongly in opposition to the cut that they prefer. It is fundamentally a hipster cut.

yeah and it would totally blow to be dressed in the style of today

My claim is that they feel profoundly uncomfortable and if you're not particularly slim they don't fit very well. It has nothing to do with style.

That said I tend to prefer classic styles to "the style of today". If something is good it is always good. It is not a fad. It is not a trend. It does not ever come into style or go out of style. If something must be justified by saying that it is the style then it is bad and will be quickly revealed as such. It has no basis for claiming to be good other than "other people are doing it".

Tomorrow has made a phone call to today.

"Your clothes, they are ugly." it says, "We are all laughing at how stupid they are and unable to imagine how anyone could think that looked good."

Later on it called back.

"Your clothes were so ugly that now they're cool again."

I think lots of Assetbarians can identify with this mentality. Have no fear.

Don't feel bad, at least you didn't go on a four comment rant just to post some stupid image to make fun of your drunkenness.

I was SOBER too.

I feel so empty...

WHAT'S THE BEST THING YOU GOT

Just be glad you didn't wake up next to some stranger.

I always thought that was the best part.

If it's the right sort of stranger, it is! The sickly realization that it's the wrong kind is in at least inverse proportion to the pleasure of the former.

I always like it. She has been hideous three times, beautiful once, and he left before I finished making coffee. It is always exciting.

Then you make sure you don't have the Hi-Five.

Yes, right or wrong stranger, it's always exciting. One does hope that the statistical average favors the right ones, and, to the extent this is an intersecting set, the really, really hot ones. (Actually, the balance can weight toward hot, and still mitigate a whole lot of wrong.)

Come see me when your sample is large enough to extrapolate some results. I love comparing data.

Where is it that you reside? I can go on a road trip and have enough data by the time I get there. If you're on the East coast it will make my data gathering much easier.

I am in the ass-end of nowhere, northwestern CT branch. What would constitute an adequately sized sample, in your opinion? I mean, I assume you're not planning on spending months on the road.

I have no idea.

I guess I could go up, and we start farming? Just you and me picking up the ladies and doing science to them. Or if anyone wants to come that'd be fine.

Are you ready Assetbar? Are you ready to get so nude with strangers and then write about it later?

Shit I forget if we're talking about Coyote Uglies or just some party time. What the... What are we doing?

Hell, I don't know. For the record, you'll have to science the ladies by yourself. I'll science the guys, and share 'em if you like. Still, good research takes time. Almost always a mistake to rush the protocol.

Funny, but I expect a fair number of Assetbarians would take you up on your offer, particularly if there was a real private way they could accept.

What we need more of is SCIENCE!

Jesus, someone offering me the chance to put a scientific reason behind my sluttiness? Count me in.

See you later guys I'm going to England for a night or two

I'll be down in 5 minutes, for 5 minutes

Don't forget to make some graphs.

My email is in my profile, contact me and we shall bring science to masses. I'm talking to you attractive female, or curious male. We will party.

until you are so nude.

*door slams open*

Haah, haah... Did someone mention... haaah... sex?

sober enough to be self-aware, but drunk enough to not care: it's a good thing

The hell the strip club is open until 6:30. What paradise is this

Larry Borgioni's The Cheetah Room is like Islamic heaven, except they aren't virgins...
It's more like Pastafarian heaven, with the beer volcano and the Stripper factory.
R'Amen

O Noodly Father
As we are tested now in these three minutes in boiling water until tender, we await the coming of the sauce packet of your love.
Bring us into the bowl of your heaven, where the beer volcano and the stripper factory are the works of your starchy will.
Touch me with your noodly appendage!
R'Amen.

seriously one of the best things i've ever read on here.

an improbable statement, indeed.

One day we shall all stand in the violent beauty of the FSM's end locale, we shall all be happy. Sailing with the Pirates on our sea of dreams and thanking the midgets for their bravery. One day.

R'Amen.

Many strips clubs are 24 hours. I've often wondered about the people working on some of the off shifts. If you're not paying stage fees is it easier because you can kind of just slack off and not really do anything or is it tougher? Do you have to pay a lot more attention to the only couple of people in there? Is it just a chance to pull out C-list or new girls just learning the ropes of how to dance?

Damn. Now I think I need to make a trip to the Lusty Lady at 7 AM or so on a weekday. I wonder what the truly worst time is though. I could see some people maybe dropping in a bit before work or such and possibly around lunch or so... I wonder when it's the absolute slowest.

The off-times usually are populated by regulars, the kinds of people who fall in love with them, and buy them Lexuses. Generally, the ones working at that time are the older, saltier strippers who have to pick up their kids by the late afternoon. I think new hires go on pretty much whenever, because a lot of the appeal for a stripper is in her being a 'new face' to returning customers, much more than her dance ability. Look at the success of "amateur nights" which are most often entered by strippers from other clubs. I guess not every soccer cougar and sorority sister is open to the idea of being leered at for pennies on the dollar. Who knew?

I work in a mining town, we have split shifts and all that. I'd get home when the sun was just showing up and open a beer. If this was my 'weekend' then maybe I'd go out, get hammered, and be a pitiful drunk. Or a HARD WORKING AMERICAN MAN WHO JUST NEEDS TO UNWIND

I feel punctuation should be omitted after caps runs. Also I'm not American. Also I don't go to the single strip club in my down trodden down. Also I wish I was drunk.

HEY ARE YOU JOE SIXPACK

Joe the Miner.

Nope, none of those guys. I'm a mystery!

WITH ONLY HALF A BEARD!!

Don't worry cpnglxnchos... captain galaxy nachos? awesome.

Oh yeah as I was saying: I now have no beard. Only a mustache, and that is only until Halloween is done.

As a former employee of Starbucks, I have said "Haha, yes, thank you" while hitting the button that says "COFFEE?" waay more often than I care to admit.


(I have never worked at Starbucks)

Oh, I was gonna say, what, the machines actually say that?

1.) Get a machine with a button that says "COFFEE"
2.) Give the output a hundred different names, sizes, and accessories
3.) Profit!

That's a true friend.. calling you at 6:45 in the AM to make sure you hadn't been betrayed.

it is taken as a curse to loudly bless your neighbor so early in the morning.

The Good Book says so. (and not the one at that one restaurant.)

If only Caesar had a friend like that. Or Jesus.

alt text goodness!

What can I do for you, other than teminate this discussion board?

let me say goodbye, for the last time.

goodbye, witticisms. goodbye, critique. goodbye all you users that make accounts but we never really hear from on the current strips.

goodbye, for the last time.
goodbye.

I love it when Achewood betrays a love of snappy idiosyncratic dialogue. Like Tarantino without the cliches or adoring shots of women's feet.

... or music Boyd Rice introduced him to, inadvertently kick-starting his career.

I know exactly who I am going to use the phrase "open up a can of dumbass" on.

I can't wait!

Everybody?


Well, I hadn't thought of everybody . I had a specific person in mind.

But now that you mention it, everybody might be exactly the right target. I must think on it.

Hmmmm.

If there's one thing you can't trust it's a man and a woman

If there's two things you can't trust, it's a woman and a basketball team.

But you can trust a woman and Nice Pete. He wins.

Deez nuts.

Very seldom rolling with veins on the outside myself these days either.

Did you opt for sclerotherapy, ligation and stripping, or ambulatory phlebectomy? Or perhaps you followed a careful regimen of exercise and a high-fiber, low-salt diet for overall circulatory health?

I've always appreciated Ray's night on the town jacket. Sort of an Eastern European immigrant flair to it.

For my youngest brother's birthday I devised that I should bake a cake, one that would celebrate his love of gaming. No baker could provision the proper nutrition requirements (their instance on margarine over the more proper butter left me gasping in horror) so I set forth to construct a marvelous vanilla cake, with butter cream frosting.

Pounds of butter, sugar, eggs, flour, milk, baking soda, and pure vanilla met their fate under skillful whisking. Fluffed egg whites, carefully folded, a batter so perfect that there was no question in my mind - I had constructed a cake of unequalled deliciousness.

Into the oven it went, and away I went for the period of thirty minutes, during which time I amused myself on the lightning box. Returning, I found, to my horror, the ruins of my oven (the bottom now coated in a sickly mixture of burnt and still-liquid cake) and my cake - burnt to a crisp on the top, still liquid underneath. Peeling off the top layer, I dialed back the temperature, hoping against hope for a second chance...

...to no avail...

The product I now received from my oven was twisted and sick, a mockery of cake. Gone was the sweetness of the batter, gone was the airy texture and buttery goodness. Instead, somehow, something with enough sugars and fats to provide cardiac arrest to all but the bravest of men was now a salty, hard, flavorless pile of failure.

Back to the store I went, now at 2am, rushing to the only place open. A quick glance through the aisles for the least toxic boxed mix, and back home, into a bowl, under the wisk, and into the oven... thirty minutes later a pair of perfect 8" circle cakes greeted me.

I returned to the task of icing, but by now my perfect butter cream was runny. There was no hope of constructing my grand plan (a Master Chief, as the kids say, complete with alien guns and other such foolishness). Instead it was a rudimentry "X", and this too ran, leaving a mishappen pile of icing in its wake. Steadying my nerves, I put the thing in the fridge, and hoped for the best.

-

And as Philipe was served horror-cakes in the place of Mickey Mouse, so too will I deliver an Xbox cake that, for all the world, may as well have a red-ring. A box-flavored nightmare, complimented by the frosting of the gods, in a design that would not muster a passing grade in second grade art class.

This is my fail cake:



It tastes of vanilla and disappointment.

aw man, it is totally the thought that counts. Really, I've seen much worse done by people being paid to bake cakes, so don't feel too bad.

Although, the baker in me wonders just what the hell happened to your first cake. I've never encountered a burnt top and a liquid everything else.



The first cake is not worthy of existence. It has been sent away to be shot.

Is worst cake baked in ugliest...ugh, I can't do it.
I did once bake some muffins that tasted of cinnamon and indescribable longing so I can appreciate the frustration involved here.
Your first effort is terrifying though.

I used to have trouble converting imperial measurements to metric. Once, after a slight overapplication of sugar to a generic muffin mix, I returned to a scene inside the oven that I would later be reminded of watching the beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Some of that even got on the Mayor!!

A cake with a bullet in it ain't exactly 5 O'Clock News Ray

I actually think it looks good.

You know what? Good for you! Really! I can't stand it when a person just goes to a Walmart and buys a cake. That always eemed to be the most depressing thing. Like, I would rather you bake me a cake instead of feeding me what is basically ipecac syrup in box form from a gas station tended by a former stripper with a tattoo on her neck (she's going to community college though, so she's movin' on up).
I mean, I always thought it was a case of child abuse to buy a cake from a store. If you are too busy to build a Betty Crocker, then you are too busy to have a kid.

And boxed mixes are good. They really are.

the best use for wal-mart cakes is for ladies to sit their bottoms on em.

Sometimes you can put people's faces on store-bought cakes, so that you are eating their faces. That is pretty weird.

That is just plain perverted.

More perverted would be to put your face on the cake, then pay someone to sit on the cake. Not that Ray is perverted or anything.

Most perverted would be to put your face on the cake, then pay someone to eat it, while you watch and, at the same time, have sex with a duck.

With an underage duck.

An unwilling, kidnapped underage duck.

Is there any other kind?

This is known as "the ugly duckling."

It is best done with orange glaze lube.

...Plum sauce and pancakes... and a bicycle pump.

Please children ask your local chinese restaraunt about the use of picycle pumps and ducks.

Why, yes! The kind sold by it's parents. Then it's not kidnapping, just trafficking.

I don't know any ducks that get into illegal commercial transactions in a big way. Other people are so much more worldly-wise than I.

creepy synergy approved

At least your story is well written and entertaining? Maybe you should print it out and tape it to a piece of carboard, stand it next to your cake. Apology accepted.

I will give you a pat on the head for trying the real cake. People never appreciate how fucking hard a really nice cake can be. Or how tricky stable, nonrockhard buttercream can be. I bake like crazy, and my first three cakes of any given genre are not good. I toss the first one every time (a genois without properly unclumped flour will make your bowels quiver).

You are a toughguy, and worthy of respect. I suggest you try a good ten more times, without time restraints. Homemade cakes taste much better. I will point out that cake-mix-cakes are going to be fluffier, and easier to dress up. They have access to leavening agents you cannot even pronounce.

Princess Peach was a wholly underrated toughguy.


Just look at that virile calligraphy.

Peach is such a ho. In Galaxy, they keep referring to her as Marios "Special One".. and I keep trying to tell them... bitch wasn't that special.

Haha the alt text. HAHA THE FUKKEN ALT TEXT.

Also Cornelius is just so god damn sassy. It is a good thing. It is the perfect thing.

Strips like this are why I read Achewood. The dialogue between Ray and Beef is so charming I find myself jacking it in a pathetic attempt to recreate it sometimes. Sometimes the comics are not so good because Mr. Onstad is trying to make a living, but this one makes up for weeks of time-stressed work.

See you are trying to make a rational statement but all I hear is "boobsboobsboobsboobsboobs"

turn text-to-speech off and you'll be able to read it just fine.

I was disappointed to see Scott McClellan's book, "What Happened" already occupies this spot in Wikipedia. It appears some disambiguation might be needed. Unless we can find a way to paste the image of Connie leaving with the stripper onto the book cover. Make it happen, Assetbar.

Click on the picture that's four posts down from the top.

"Open a can of dumbass" is the only phase I will use for the rest of the day.

Oh no! My hubby's almost home and I haven't even started dinner!

What should I do?

Besides terminate this call?

Lock the kids in the room, put on that "ultra-lite" girdle he got you for Christmas, and pose on the couch.

"Honey why the hell are you posing like that for the kids do you want to give them problems"

...plus, where's my dinner?

The idea is that he's so preoccupied with his children's mental normalcy that he forgets about that.

Really it's just replacing one problem with another, bigger one.

That's what she said.

Totally offtopic of the comic, but I know we have some programmers here.

Any chance of an Achewood app for the G1 and iPhone?

lammed 4 2 b optoptic. shaman u. shaman u

Translation:
I am mad, for to be an optometrist, you must be a shaman. You must be a shaman.

You simply muft .

Ftairs! We've found ftairs!

HEY!

CAPITAL "S" WAS STILL AN "S" BACK THEN

Just...y'know sayin.

Sorry. This pun nonsense has filled me with rage. But uh...yeah, only the lowercase "s" became an f thingie.

Someone needs to read House of Leaves.

Actually, you all do. That's your assignment, go find, purchase and read this book. NOW.

The Danieleweski novel, or the Whitman poetry book?

Silly Tekende, you know that House of Leaves is not Leaves of Grass . Even if it wants to be, and it doesn't.

Whoops.

I tried to find this in the library but somebody beat me to it.
Now I have to settle for Nancy Drew and the Mystery of the Clock .

It's more a book you should own , not rent.

Not should own, must own.

Not must, muft.

I meant I was going to steal it from the library and then send the author the correct amount of money because I'm hardcore like that.

damn right.

Sje, if only I hadn't ripped up my copy in disgust you could have had it for free.

I was so excited to read that book until I noticed the 'l' in the title

Yeah but see I don't see what is so mysterious about a cock.

Maybe if it is uncircumcised and is hiding in the foreskin...

Well, it was about Nancy Drew's first time. She'd never seen one before.

*looks through book, shakes head disapprovingly.*
"So many swears . .. ."

No mystery, perhaps, but rather like a present unopened. It may be just another pair of socks, or another necktie, but occasionally it turns out to be really attractive socks, an especially exciting tie. Plenty of reason to keep unwrapping presents.

It's what keeps me going, really. Thick, juicy presents.

An essential part of any healthy diet.

I would find it to be a great mystery if Nancy Drew had a bigole hairy cock swinging between her legs

Many, many v-chubs for this, sje.

Noooo. Onstad is now concerened with money and bright lights.

one of the best of late.

i am thinking taping what cornelius says to ray onto the side of my bed, so that when i recieve ridiculously early phone calls, i may recite it..

"Player must've trucked in his game with a pilot car and permits, 'cause..."

I don't normally quote the script verbatim, but fuck, that deserves repeatin'. That, my friend, is the bees knees. It is the duck's nuts:



It is truly, the

did you just give skradley a "cat ass trophy?"

Why did this remind me of "the Nuge"?

fail...

Fatherhood is destroying my brain, the Bill Cosby book that is, having a child is great.

fo' fuck's sake

...i'm actually a fan of that book. that one and Childhood.

"TURN THAT CRAP DOWN"

But sooner or later she'll have to use the bathroom, and the whole Lyle thing will scare her off.

That's if he uses the bathroom at all to take a shit. There's history here.

In my head, Cornelius is voiced by Michael Caine, which only made his complete badassery in the last panel more delicious.

Man, what a look at connie! I want to be him when I'm old and taking strippers on all-night lovin' sprees!

sometimes one cat who is recently married must take a bear to a strip club with the help of his rich lout feline friend, and then have long-length web dialectics utilizing the most memetic/outdated brand names , celebs , and slang on the topic as the ancient ursine steals away into the night with an ( italian ? source? )erotic dancer.

Dude, yo, I just realized that this does not match up at all with past history as seen here: https://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuad9KWN8

You're right. These characters are far too dynamic. Why can't everyone just stay exactly the same year after year, strip after strip? It would be so much easier to understand.

Then they could change the name of the strip to Blondie.

ZING.

Perpetual '50's freeze - one of the worst deaths ever. (Makes you feel like reading Andy Capp. . . Urge resisted.)

Oh Andy Capp, you wife-beating drunk...

You see I assumed the "sweats" Ray was talking about were something akin to the "meat sweats". Down here we refer to those trousers as "tracksuit pants" or more commonly as "trackies" or "trackie dacks" (dacks being common slang for pants).

Trackie dacks! What a whimsical land! I'm gonna guess that you're below the equator.

Well below, and 16 hours ahead of the 'States.

But wait, that means...you're in The Future!

That's right, I am typing to you from 11.21am Monday, now catch up!

alright then assetbar better be around December 12th, 2012 because I want to make sure the world doesn't end and it seems like you, octafish, will be the dude with the answers

The future, baby it is murder...

We get stacks of slacks and dacks on racks.

connie is mean here :(

Dude, warn us.

Hey, pityparty. I don't normally care about Things, but I have to ask where your avatar is from. I must know what is happening here.

OK, OK - I muft.

I feel so dirty....

You muft play a video game and watch part of a baseball game and drink 12 pale lagers tonight. I made me for the O.L.M.B. It is a muft-see.

I'm there.

I am curious as well.

Just out of shot: Noddy Holder with his knob out.

Your a know, Sam Adams.

Shee-it! You're a knob, I meant. (Not drunk just sloppy.)

Also, it's John Adams, and he's not a knob. But apart from that...

Oh, psych, I was drinnnnking Sma Adams ...

ah ok I see waht you mena.

Closing time, gents.

Awful puns, endless T-shirt discussions (they are NOT professional clothing, kids, except in the entertainment industry, wear collars!), and other drek makes this the worst weekend ever. Onstad, please split up the longer strips so the discussion time is only a day or two!

Jeez sorry for breathing pogo.

hey don't harass the elderly asshole

31 isn't exactly moldy bananas.

That might mean something.

But pogo is 59. He got his first AARP junk mail before you could could take an AP class.

That may be, but who elected you Official Elderfolk Defender, Mr. Me Generation?

Nobody did; I just wanted to call theguitarhero an asshole.

Oh. Proceed.

I deserve it. Yay!

I forgive you, now do your freaking homework!

Is there supposed to be a comma there?
Answer: Hopefully not.

I left it open for interpretation.


Yah 'eard me!

Sorry for partying , old guy.

I took my pill and now this all seems much funnier.

I think you mean "Sorry for Partying."

I think I meant

What

I

Said

Guy.
