They think, like, in an instant!

Ray says that liking man ass instantly makes you smarter. They did tests.

Taking it in the can makes you play soccer better.

now see, i always thought that the soccer snobs at my school always had something up their rears...

we all know what it was.

Other soccer players! They keep it with each other, so they can have all the skills.

Now Teodor fails at being understanding, too? Man, poor Pat - his friends are so inept.

I can see myself leaving a message like that. This is why it is best to err on the side of caution when it comes to answering machines.

In panel 6, Teodor is mad because Ray knows the gay porn photo shoot he was thinking of.

He's just squinting to try to figure out where the ball went.

yes. this is what it is.

Right into the lumberyard.

I absolutely love the "background action" of Ray and Teodor watching Ray's drive go long, long, long and into the rough. Taking a drop on the ball at the end clinches it.

I was going to say you don't just drop if you hit it in the rough. It has to go OOB or at least in the drink.

But this is Ray.

I dunno, man, I think that thing went longer than it looks like to us. Ray really has a thing for the swing.

it certainly was wide, and not landing anywhere near anything he wants to be

Basically just a big, hot tranny mess.

(BBcode, don't fail me now)

It looks like they're in the fairway based on the background, so it's def. time for an iron shot. Though most par 4 holes that require a driver and an iron shot.. you'd probably be going with a 6-9 iron, or pitching or gap wedge. That's about a 250 yard drive, then 150 in, then two putting for par.

Ray plays like I play with my friends early in the season. We're all coming back to the sport from a 4-5 month hiatus and it's really not about hitting perfect shots, it's just about playing. If someone shanks a ball off the tee two fairways over, we just let him hit another. No big deal.

You can always drop another ball with a penalty shot. I do this all the time when I can't be arsed to take my game into the nettles.

Man, I was always so caught up in the dialogue of this one that I never even noticed what was going on. Amazing.

It's not a coincidence that T�odor pretends not to notice. Skirt steaks and Stellas, fontina omelettes with hundred-dollar bills tucked at forty-five degree angles on the plate, those are just examples of the perks from ignoring a guy like Ray's shitty golf game.

That drive was a total vagina wig.

It took me a few minutes before I realised Ray was dropping a golf ball in the last panel and not playing with a yo-yo.

Goddammit, you just ruined this strip for me.

Fuck! Me too! Stone cold walking the dog around the world to the sand traps.

Alt-text: Gay men secretly want practical cars, pass it on.

I had a gay roommate who drove a red Jeep Wrangler. Onstad knows how it is.

Man, a Jeep Wrangler is like the antithesis of practical. Bad gas mileage, bad safety features, and no interior room are not attributes I would normally associate with practicality.

Sure, you can drive it around on gray rocks, but how many fresh young daddies do you think you'd see out in the back country waiting for a ride? Not many, that's how many.

You might be surprised...

No fresh young anybody wants to hop into a '79 Mustang with politics bumper stickers: this car is renowned among fresh young people as a harbinger of doom (it is basically the Black Shuck of motorcars).

What I really love is how Teodor has to point out that Ray needs to carefully explain his actions to Pat. The idea of a man so extroverted that he cannot possibly keep track of his internal processes or realize that they operate in ways that impressively defy normal logic is just lovely, really it is.

I expect Ray would show up at Pat's house with the car, shout, "WHAT UP, doggie! I come totin' gifts! I bought you a god-damn car!" and then would immediately be distracted by something like a loud commercial or a slowly flashing light. Then Pat would startle him, he'd hand Pat twenty dollars (Ray would not know why), tell Pat to enjoy himself, and wander off while calling someone on his cell.

The idea of Ray refocusing his attention on someone and immediately thinking he should give them a twenty for an unknown reason is brilliant.

spinynorman, you have absolutely nailed Ray's characterization. And I don't mean takin' it in the can.

You are a wonderful person.
I cracked up at that characterization of Ray. Seriously, on the motherfucking money .

i usually visualize Wranglers cuttin' up red Colorado, Arizona or Utah boulders and canyons. not grey rocks. XTerras, yes. Wranglers, no.

Secret soccer trials?

"The gay closet."

Thanks for clearing that up, T.

I...uh..I also know the photo shoot that they're thinking of. What's up with that?

Is there really a famous gay photo shoot that everyone has seen except me, sort of like goatse, only generally palatable instead of utterly horrible (from what I hear)?

If I were a terrible terrible human being I would tell you that yeah, there was this famous photo shoot, here's a url=[https://tinyurl.com/fgd3x]link[/url].
But that link would actually be to goatse.cx. Seriously, that's like the best straight line for goatse I've ever seen, in my life.

Well that just kind of ruined the joke now didn't it?

Your broken code ruined the joke which would end up ruining my morning. On an unrelated note, anyone who is either a Subaru owner or who is gay (I am one of the two) knows the truth . Now there's a link which works properly and which will not make you wish that you had killed yourself ten years ago.

Its retardo!

Good for you?

I just gotta say that the avatar coupled with this comment is awesome.

The kitten makes it look like the question is actually a question, rather than a sarcastic dismissal.

Pat's face.

ray has it spot on as far as the handling goes
but i think a keg has the one-up on a jeep because you usually can't get beer from a jeep

Lyle: dont' rememerb if I hit a guy

Man, Lyle can't spell for SHIT!

Simon gave Ray a yo-yo.

Ah...its a ball.

Yeah. He doesn't even bother looking for the first attempt, just straight up takes a drop.

you people were not Paying Attention if you thought he was playing with a yo-yo.

seriously not Paying Attention at all.

By Panel 2, this strip was already a 5
