There is no shame in being gay due to Morten Harket.

a fellow once told me i resembled him. i said thank you, and then i slapped him, because he was a god damned liar.

I don't quite get the appeal of meeting celebrities in real life. There'd be so much pressure to be cool.

But it's A-ha! You could reinact the video Take On Me in it's entirety!

piiiiipe wreeeench fiiiiiiight

Am I the only one who thinks this is wonderful?

Yes, apparently.

At least 12 people think it is not.

I don't understand WHY not. ;-;

Probably because he said "faggots".

Also because he said "Norwegian" and that reminds people of Vikings, which are scary.

Speaking as a gay person, I've learned that uses of that term term can be quite gentle, if applied VERY carefully within a considerate context.

The term "faggots," on the other hand, is right on the fucking edge. I see that now.

I didn't really notice; i just assumed he was using it from the inside, as it were. Better to stick to queers and maybe fags if you want to assimilate terms. Faggot is still 24 carat nasty-ass in my book.

I thought it was sort of in the obscene-poetic vein.

Something good about this strip: it wasn't a contest to win them, but a raffle , with little tickets and the mayor putting his hand in a big hat.

Nothing terrible got on the Mayor and a good time was had by all.

I think the real punchline is in panel 2.

I wish this happened in real life. The part I would throw with Duran Duran as entertainment

Party. The party I would throw. Party.

This is massively funnier if you imagine that you're throwing parts around. Duran Duran don't need no fuckin' parts on their nice jackets, but they gots to entertain because you won them fair and square. What a dilemma.

I don't know I would be nice to them they could like hang out with my friends we are pretty cool. But yeah that would have to play all their hits for drunk college kids in a shitty house

Yeah that is true and yet you are extending the dilemma...shitty house with nice yet drunk people. One assumes that after a certain point in the booze chronology of the evening they would make their escape and go find somewhere that served fish and chips late and then repackage them in newspaper like british folks.

or maybe they would fall in love with us and we would become close friends and they'd come back and visit often? This is what I, rather hopefully, invision in my mind.

I agree that this is a nicer scenario. Probably they would just order like twenty more fish and chips and you all would have a party.

I'm hungry.

I think they would talk to your parents on the patio about gazebos and the difficulties of lawn maintenance.

Point.

I imagined you'd still won A-Ha in the raffle, but just invited Duran Duran along to the party, and they came because they were interested in coming to the "I won A-Ha party!"

Taaaaaaaake ooooon meeeeeee. Take on me.
Taaaaaaaake meeeee ooooooon. Take on me.

You're somehow in my mind. As I was reading down the posts, I was singing the song. When I got to yours, I was singing the chorus. It was creepy. And extremely awesome.

I coulda sworn it would have been Pet Shop Boys that made him gay.

No one knows what made that little robot gay.

My god, I am jealous of a stuffed bear. First his life was spared by Roosevelt and now this?

"So.....that makes you a gay robot then..." RvB meets achewood. There's something to give you nightmares.
