have YOU forgiven Orson Welles?

Fucking "War of the Worlds"...

I set fire to my livestock at the first mention of intergalactic immigants. So no.

Oh, come on, it's not Orson's fault that people are stupid and easily frightened.

Good thing they added the key or else I would be very much confused by the poll.

A nickel to the first youngin' to identify the woman on the cover.

Eleanor Roosevelt.

You best adjust that nickel for inflation, brosevelt.

Okay, make it fitty-cents.

Brosevelt. God damn, every time I think every bro-able word has been bro'd, I hear a new one, and I swear to god, I always think it's hilarious. What is this weakness in a dude? Anyhow, chubbied.

I have to say, I completely agree on the hilarity factor. But I don't know that many. ENLIGHTEN ME PLEASE DOGGS.

Just off the top of my head right when I woke up:
Broseph, Broscious, Brosephus, Brobler,
Brodacious Bra-Bras, James Brolin, Brotisserie, Brotator cuff, Sir Broland, Friends and Bromans, Brolaids, Broget's thesauraus, Brogain, Brose (like jose but w/ bro), Achilles' Elbro, broner, Hasbro, OH CHRIST GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL NOW

Many thanks. Will be using.

my personal favorite is bro-magnon

Bro-nan the barbarian, though bro-nan could be a reference to Onan, which I guess could work if you caught your bro jacking it. Like "Hey bro-nan, when you're done in there we gotta get to sosh class, there's a test today"

Little Bro Peep

Broceidon, Lord of the Brocean. Don't thank me, thank The Onion! And Anarchy.

Brosef Stalin, who will liberate the means of broduction from the greedy brogeoisie and give it to the broletariat.

REMEMBER, BROLETARIANS!

Well now this has reached the apex.

Broba Fett.

Hybrothetical question:

There is a crossroads with a 30-pack of natty light in the center.

The theme to Bronanza is being played on a fiddle by Brozlebub.

Brozymandias, Abroham Lincoln, Brothello, and Don Quibrote are at each of the roads.

Which bro gets the 30-pack?

Natty anything goes to Brah Brob Marley by default.

And for all of the GLBT fans of Achewood, we must not forget Bromosexual.

Nice to see you again, Ms. heccibiggs. Thought we doggs had chased you out for good.

Don't expect to see me on the current strip's comments any time soon.

Congratulations. You are now Assetbar Elite, heccibiggs. Shuffling through the archives like it's nobody's business, communicating through the Distant Past. All using a telegraph machine to write your posts. All of them.

(Okay, only Pogo and I actually do that last one. You're still elite, though.)

... Was Doc Rostov just a dick to you in the most half-arsed of manners?

He gives a bad name to dicks everywhere.

Soticoto! It is sad that you do not understand Basic Human Interactions, but rather than commenting on your misapprehensions all of the time maybe you should consider just observing quietly for a while, at least until you can make a good attempt at emulating okay guys like the rest of us. Maybe? Consider it for me, dude.

You sound like a real-life Mr. Bear.

Reminisce magazine has to be the most depressing thing I've ever seen, and since it's normally found at hospices this is not a good thing.

I know! I saw a copy at the nursing home where my grandfather was living shortly before he died. I was really surprised--I thought it was just something Onstad made up!

Insult is literally added to injury when your friendly local ER only has "Reminisce" and the large-print editon of "Readers' Digest"

Wow; I didn't realize. I thought he was making fun of Reader's Digest...

Yep. They even have a website. Apparently today's bobbins are different from the ones we used to get.

Why the fuck does "Dave" have the nickname "Stu"

I am incensed by something so asinine

Incensed

Prepare to be even MORE incensed, then.

I know a guy named "Jeff" but his nickname is "Earl."

My name is Oliver, but my nickname is Olly! Wait...that's perfectly reasonable.

Okay, from now on I am "Duke of Teacup Land".

My nickname is Zimbabwe, it was given to me by a group of young mostly Caucasian males who thought me to be the "whiter" than average. Ironically of course. Then a family bible was discovered by yours truly and I found out that I descend from African roots. Suddenly the white boys calling me the country from Africa looked to be fools.

his middle name is stuart. get a grip. dayum. im calld tony, but my first name is joseph. you wanna fight about it?

My grandfather's name is Richard. Everyone calls him Babe. He says he doesn't know why, so the story must be fantastic.

[IMGS OFF]

sorry it's blurry. also, i hope this works.

Orson Welles would've made one heck of a Mr. Bear voice, all hollerin' about butts at the dinner table and such.

There was a similar poll on Starwars.com not too long ago, except it was Annie Hall instead of Orson Welles.

what? annie hall is a movie orson welles is a PERSON. i do not understand.

Annie Hall won Best Picture Oscar for 1977 -- instead of Star Wars, some would say.

some would also say they had the force.

I highly doubt Star Wars was even nominated. But I'm too lazy to check.

You would be highly wrong.

You can be wrong to doubt, but can a doubt be wrong? It isn't an assertion.

His doubt would be highly unfounded.

The idea of Star Wars winning Best Picture at all, let alone over Annie Hall (a movie that actually deserves to be called a "best picture," unlike many Oscar winners), makes me want to vomit in horror.

A comment left by ford was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Afterward, StagnantDisplay, Zem, cailetshadow, Boredom_Man)

You know how many times I've seen Star Wars? I first saw it shortly after I was born. I can recite fucking R2D2's lines, you fuck. .

But Star Wars is not a better movie than Annie Hall. It's a fun action movie enjoyed best as a child...there, I said it.

Many Oscar winners have explosions. And Annie Hall is often considered a comedy.

chubbied for truth

Even if it was George Lucas, I mean, who's gonna listen to anything he has to say anymore?

I don't want to reply "Marshall McLuhan," but you've forced my hand.

For a minute I thought you were being George Lucas addressing Harrison Ford.

That would be 73% more awesome, yes.

And Harrison would be all like "Yeah, well, have you noticed that all of your movies that don't have me in them suck balls?"

And then a chorus of stormtroopers goes "Ohhhh SNAP!"

Is he talking to ford the assetbar user or Harrison Ford?

"Chicken In The Basement (Do-Fi-Dum)" is one of my favourite things ever.

"I Must Love You, 'Cause I Sure Don't Like You, Marie" is EATING into my fucking BRAIN. I keep hearing it read, over and over again, by this retarded-sounding hick voice. I HATE YOU ONSTAD FOR BEING SO ACCURATE.

I think Onstad might have been watching Everybody Loves Raymond when he thought of that one.

chubbed.(rays wife is one of the only women ive ever wanted to punch in the face. and shes imaginary...)

Yeah, she can be extremely unlikeable. And the fact that I, a viewer, am expected to symapthize with her most of the time makes me dislike her even more.

Man I had a real bad case of summer complaint one year.

1924 Birth Certificate Instructions: Line 4 - Gender, Check M or F. If M, proceed to Line 5. If F, skip ahead to line 22.

nothing worse than being stricken with dolphin lung.

The death of Vladimir Lenin was very much the in thing that year. People would hold theme parties and such. Guy would dress up, halfway through he'd groan, clutch his head and fall to the ground.

And then he would be entombed and put on display for decades.

Next a man from Georgia would take over as host of the party; he would proceed to make a pact with Hitler and then kill all guests.

Rough chuckles.

SOON:
The rise and fall of the Ccommunist Revolution and Soviet Union by Roomba Theater.

Are there any non-Caucasians in Reminisce magazine? Do they have weird articles like Readers' Digest's "I Am Joe's Man Gland"?


I am Jack's raging bile duct.

I Am Sheryl's Osteoperosis

I read that article (or the one similarly titled) and it was scary as hell.

HELL.

I Am Alzuna's Heebie Jeebies.

Note that this implies Roast Beef reads this magazine regularly.

It's the only readin' available on Gramma K's crapper.

that was a misclick i totally mean to chubby that. i am sorry.

HUGS!

Ray's confusion is like delicious sauce for dippin'

This is so awesome. It reminds me of the strip when Beef sells cheeseburgers to the religious nuts.

Sammiches!

The Orson Welles poll not only has the bars labeled with bold, capital letters, but it has a key as well. It would be tragic to misread that poll, I suppose. Precautions have been taken.

The key makes the chart, I feel. Most excellent.

Ray's utter lack of understanding makes this for me.

And Dolphin Lung sounds like it would be a great ability to possess.


Go figure.

Oh man. Does anyone else see parallels between Milklin Honniker and Jim Jones?

yeah...but in a way that's hard to care about anymore.

The information in this magazine rolls off the surface of Ray's eyeballs like water off of a duck.

He will not be subscribing.

I read that as water off a dick and I have got some graphic images roaring through my subconscious like a runaway freight with a twisted sentience of its very own.

Also, I would stab a baby to be called Aloysius.
ah-loo-ish-us

Was the water running off it in wonderful ad hoc rivulets?

Mr. Bear: A terrible bit of angling!

I want to know what the lace up arm thing is...Some sort of ridiculous cure for Summer Complaint perhaps?

I believe it's some sort of olde-time prosthesis. Observe the articulation at the elbow and the fully-sculpted hand. The sort of prosthesis that you wear after you got your arm blown off in The War, not because it does you any personal good (e.g. no motor control of the hand), but for the comfort of your neighbors so they don't have to look at your armlessness all the day long.

I'm just glad I don't have the Dolphin Lung!

Funniest line in this comic: data not recorded.

The close-up of Beef's nasty broken claw is a nice touch.

The best thing is how Ray comes back to what. "What? How? Why? What?" Priceless :D

I think Karl Webber is disappointed at the number of brothers he lost during the War. He had hoped to be an only child by the time the War was over.

Who? What? What? How? Why? What? Who? What? What? Huh? I don't get it.

I must love you 'Cause I sure don't like you, Marieeee,
I do declare that that's the only way it could beeeee

Hahaha. This alt text is the best ever.

'Only two' brothers, that is harsh man.

Spokane! Thats where i am from! I love you Doris!

god why would you be from spokane that is terrible it is just awful
