I would briefly hesitate at the door and shrink underneath the hefty doorman's scowl, but then I would plunk down $5 to go to Winners' Feast record release party for "Our every move is the new tradition".

When I am younger, I no like'a the jerks.
Now, I am concerned whether they ever stopped their jerk business.

In Greece, some waiters sounded kind of like this. Maybe a few less "-as" but the same sort of sound. "Is gyros" and the like are pretty dang accurate.

These days being a jerk is less rarefied. There are to many people around nowadays to not have a surplus of jerks.

Not entirely the same.
There can still be a satisfaction in it, but it is a dirtier time, and not so much a place for jerks to be accepted any more.
Most would say I'm part of the problem.

Beef is looking out for his uncle. He wants to ensure him some revenue from future fight winners by making it the tradition to eat ten pounds of lamb.
Also, "He also have this "crazy sticks"? But they are bread."
Kills me every time.

Your pizza jobber is not mysterious?
For me the purchase of pizza is much like Teodor buying dried oregano from LN.
My guy... so much cheese. You will not believe it. It is cool though, he might get a bit nervous, but if you're with me it should be good.

Maybe Ray was referring to the other "next door," but when I saw that phrase I looked back up at panel 11, where we see that Kronos Cafe is next door to ABC Liquors. Nine large probably gets you a lot of Christian Brothers over there.

When I first read this I didn't understand that Uncle George was saying "Roast" in an accented way. I thought he was addressing his nephew as "Sick Beef," because "arrosto" is the Greek word for "sick," used here in the masculine gender, vocative case. Does Onstad know this? Such a thing is probably coincidence.

Also, we learn here that he bought himself a special hat for this fight which included a "Fight-Tite Elastoband". ::shakes head:: he was such a poser until her ripped off a man's face.

So in Achewood when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over California and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Nevada I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars'll be out, and don't you know that God is Cornelius Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what's going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Ray Smuckles, I even think of Old Ramses Rodney the father we never found, I think of Ray Smuckles.

Restaurant outsourcing is no joke. Happened to me in Budapest at one of those overpriced joints on the tourist strip. We ordered pizza and then watched them walk to the pizza place across the road in cartoon stealth mode that made it even more conspicuous. The overpriced beers and growling belly were well worth the 15 minutes of hilarity, which included watching the waiters carry cold pasta though the streets.

But man is this tradition going to be nearly impossible to follow.
It's pizza and liquor and crazy sticks that are bread. What's so impossible about that?
