ALT TEXT: Actually, he isn't. Ray was high, and AutoComplete waylaid an invite meant for the entire staff of Roadrunner Records.

Twenty minutes and mine is only the second chubby? We'll never beat Downtown Danny with times like these.

Text-chubby.

I don't want to chubby this comment. I want to give this comment a 5.

alt text[ : Ramses drove fifty miles out of town to write a note this mushy.

Ray's mother will be very disappointed if she sees that cheque.

Ray has made us aware of his feelings toward accent marks, I believe.

It effectively conveys the sentiment:

"Stop bein' a dick, Teodor. Look, you're so much of a dick, there's a dick in your name.

Dick. "

i Like that band.

that is a Good band.

I'm always happy to see you mentioning liking post-hardcore bands. I think you, me, and usversusthem are the only ones here who admit to such.

Not true - She always writes what she bought on the memo line of her checks, which Ray did here. It's a good habit.

that is way bearing of the emotions for Ramses Luther

To sign it he will draw his prefered beer bottle for dislodging a man's face.

Oh, Ramses, you've punched your way into my heart.

What is Ray wearing in this strip?

More importantly, what is he giving Beef, and where can I get some too?

I think Roast Beef is dreaming. The only way he can rationalize his crummy bachelor party is to latch onto his worst nightmare.

That is not Ray, that is the son of Dr. John Worhabus, a prominent entomologist, and he is there to ensure that the experiement continues as planned.

On the brink of cancellation, the experiment found emergency funding when the participants pooled their T-Mobile gift certificates and sold them to a wealthy benefactor for $100,000. This mysterious patron declined comment, saying simply, "I've got some calls to make. Dammit, fool, you don't interrupt a man when he's got calls to make." One of the participants, reportedly named Patrick Reynolds, declined to take part in this trade. Following a lengthy discussion in which an elderly Welsh woman beat him about the head with a dough hook, Reynolds dug deeply into his pockets and contributed $0.01 to the cause. As the crowd dispersed, Reynolds was heard to say, "With interest, you understand me? I expect it back with interest."

Brilliant. I would chubby you if I could.

It's got kind of a Morpheus vibe to it.

When I first skim-read this, I had Ray invoicing Teodor $100,000 for *ruinin'* Beef's wedding, hence his sad face.

Don't forget the extra penny.

The extra penny is Ray's attempt to spell "DICK" in binary.

How could T ever forget the Penny?

He's done admirably so far!

He's wearing the jumper (sweater) she gave him dude. His penis just got the better of him for awhile.

I think T's sad face is the realization, via the memo section, that he should probably have just done as Beef had asked and that Ray didn't need to get Into This.

no.

Does the lowercase mean you only disagree slightly?

He needs options to put more emphasis on the disagreement, should an argument take place

Dude, did you read Teodor's "menu"? That shit would have tasted terrible .

...and been expensive for no reason at all, just cause he wanted to name drop a couple of cities. For no raisin at all!

disagree. the salad alone validates the entire menu.

duck, man. it's off the hook.

Hah! Your avatar! Awesome!

Look, I'll do it in beige, stipple effect, it'll be sorted!

No, you get me wrong. I want a picture with the Holy Father, Jesus Christ and lots of little fat kids with wings.

Chicken wings?

Did you see that Onion essay where the guy was training to *ruin* a marathon? It was pretty good. Ruin is a funny word.

It'd be pretty rude to bill someone a hundred grand (plus a cent) and ask them to make your mother some artichokes all in the same slip of paper...

I don't know if you are supposed to doodle on a cheque in such a manner.
Will there be trouble if the bank teller ID's you?

This is Ray we're talking about, I'm pretty sure they're used to it.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of his checks had a cartoon dick watermark, for security, except that he'd probably end up tracing over it in ink on every check. I could also see it developing into the bad habit of handing them out to strangers as a novelty.

jackie treehorn would be proud.

if he treats objects as women then you can technically say that he treats women quite gracefully indeed if you consider it from the right perspective

But...the wah wah trumpet noise! Aww, who am I kidding. I just wanted an excuse to type that noise out. Why, the quadrulame, though, I have no idea.

I think people are upset that you didn't get The Big Lebowski reference.

I love the movie too, but didn't lame you. But I thought about it. Then I thought "wait Chris, didn;t you just rewatch that movie like 3 days ago -- so of course you'ld get every reference?" And then I was all "yeah, I guess Chris". So I didn't lame you.

Huh?

They would be more suspicious of Ray's cheques if they lacked doodles. The cat multi-purposes his stationery.

Maybe he has his own bank.

The Ray Account. By Ray, For Ray. Every Time.

He does. Look it up your own damn self, though.

Chubby for the tough love and here's the strip to show we all really care:

https://achewood.com/index.php?date=07062005

Spinynorman; a scholar and a gentleman.

Well, since he's the only one who cashes checks at that bank, I assume they'll take them.

I'm pretty sure Ray generates enough business and entertainment at the bank that they know to let him alone.

I often write hilarious, awkward or unsavory things in the memo field when I have to write a check to someone I know. Nothing like making your best friend cash a check for "erotic massage/breakdancing"...

I used to do that to my former roommate. When I'd give him a check for my half of the rent I'd write on the memo line "sexual favors" or "hookers and coke" or some such inappropriate thing.

yeah i've done 'whisky and fireworks' 'giant robot (leg)' 'trampoline fantasy camp' 'macrame rhombus'

"(leg)"

hahahaha

My chubby goes to "trampoline fantasy camp"

And mine was for macrame rhombus. What a widely appealing memo line. A little something for everybody.

Trampolines? Largely nonsense.

I tended to just write 'services rendered' and a little squiggly heart. I would do this on checks my roommate sometimes gave to his parents. They were so certain that we were fucking each other.

Glorious!

Oh sirrah! You do amuse.

I have to admit, all this use of cheques *checks* is craaazy. Expensive little slips of paper. You people do have netbank don't you?

Also, there's a section in Netbank where you can put a description which appears on Statements and such. "34 Underdeveloped Pandas" was a far more permanent practical joke.

this is a copy of a check I once wrote to a hospital because they sent me an incomprehensible bill and refused to clarify it. So I paid it off with an automatic payment of $10 a month for about a year, until the last payment which was $9.98, thus leaving a balance on the account of 2 cents, which I never paid. I know... I needed to get a life...

If I ever accidentally have a child, I will give it to you.

"Whoops! Hehe, my bad!"

binlaggin knows that we're all out here just fornicating like mad, the males among us spilling our seed on the ground instead of getting married and procreating like the lord intended. He's trying to help us, because he sees the path that our sins are taking us down and doesn't want to watch us all go to Hell.

Whoa now. I don't want anyone to have children they don't want.

What I am saying is that when you're ready, having a kid is awesome.

And listening to Iron Maiden is awesome, but I don't think poorly of everyone who doesn't.

Wait, nevermind.

Chubbied solely for Maiden love.

I promise you I will never be ready. Any child at any point in my life would be one I don't want.

Ahhh, from the mouths of twenty year olds...

Oh shut up, you're not even close to thirty yet.

I have a much-younger brother, and I am intimately acquainted with all the crap associated with child-rearing. I have spent many an hour changing diapers, babysitting, chauffeuring, disciplining, explaining what menstruation is, etc., etc. I am already pretty sick of it, and I don't fancy bringing it upon myself on purpose.

WARNING! ANEDOCTAL EVIDENCE:
I'm at work here now with a lady who is quite happy, in her 50's, pretty fit and without children. She's been through Cancer and other life changing things and she just "doesn't do children". People choose different things, and later, if you choose to do something different from what you originally decided then that is cool too. You're never defined only linearly drawn out.

"I am intimately acquainted with all the crap associated with child-rearing. " lol gross.

Oh wifeybot and I are of the same mind, she's worked with dozens of kids over the years. However, as you go through the next decade, keep count of the number of confirmed-kidless people change their mind. From about 23 to 33 a strong majority decide to brave the awfulness of raising children. I haven't switched my mind over yet, but I've seen enough people do it to know better than to make a lifelong declarative statement

Agreed. When I was twenty, you could've asked anyone within a 300 mile radius, and they would've been able to tell you that I never in my life would have a baby. But now I'm twenty-five, and if my boyfriend doesn't propose to me soon and give me an infant as a gift, I may scoop his eyeballs out with a melon baller.

I'll make lifelong declarative statements when I damn well please. Forever. As long as I live. For the rest of my life.

I would just like to support the no-children stance.

As far as I'm concerned, the reasons for not having children are many.

Why would you think poorly of someone who was self-aware enough to realise that kids weren't a good idea for them? How many kids need to be found in dumpsters before you'll keep that to yourself?

That's quite a piece of hyperbole there sir. I don't believe that it is likely that every person who says "I don't want kids" will be immediately shamed by me into reproducing, and then subsequently abandon those babies.

My point, which I wouldn't think needs much elaboration, is this. Having and raising children is, in my experience, a fantastic thing. However, it should only be done by choice. If you think you would be likely to abandon your child in the woods, or otherwise mistreat them, you should not have kids.

However, if you don't want kids because you think it will interfere with your skydiving massage schedule, or your attempt to write the great american novel, then you are, in my opinion, making a mistake.

I think that's quite clear, so I am going to drop the matter now.

Are you saying that it won't interfere with my attempt to write the Great American Novel, or that said attempt is a mistake?

I mean the Internet has shown us that people can be happy with a wide array of life choices and directions, even if they involve dressing up in fursuits and going to conventions. So it's very possible that a good deal of people who've decided not to have kids are just satisifed with their choice as you are with yours.

Your opinions are entirely OK, but you said you think poorly of people who don't want children. No elaboration. So that opinion is overly harsh.

As far as the Hyperbole goes... yeah. Dramatic knee-jerk reactions are my forte. Apologies.

As Balzac said "There goes another novel".

Hell even the sex act will prevent you from writing the great american novel.

I was wondering what was stopping girls from wearing their watches down there.

The question is, why wouldn't he draw a penis?

I read it as "Tee-DICK-uh-DORE". Said fast because it rolls off the tongue.


And soon after turning to Wikipedia for the exact definition of climacteric, a prompt Google image search for "welsh wedding" tried in vain to discover some kind of information about the interesting female hats worn by Molly and her mother.

Until at last, this .

[IMGS OFF]

You look dashing, ethel.

Is that what you're going to wear to you and spinynorman's wedding?

The mention of 'climacteric' sets someone up for devastatingly self satisfied reference to Keats' 'To Mrs Reynold's Cat'. That person is me.

So, ummm.... How exactly was he able to figure she could have ten kittens before menopause? Is he thinking five litters with an average of only two apiece? Two litters of five apiece? Molly doesn't seem to be so old as to only have two more cycles in her.

They are not in Cat Mode at present. They are discussing twins.

I figured it was a case of in-Achewood-cats-aren't-like-normal-cats-but-a-lot-more-like-humans, so maybe it's just supposed to be one-baby-per-nine-month-pregnancy thing. So Molly's dad figured out she had enough time to crank out ten kids if she got pregnant seconds after she gave birth to each child. Of course, the clover would help her to have more.

Ray's momma carried him almost three months , but I think you're right about the number of children Achewood cats can be expected to bear at one time. This is definitely one of those IT'S-A-COMIC moments.

Molly's like, 300 years old. Having ten kittens at that age would be an accomplishment of Old Testament proportions.

A fine upstanding Welsh lady only having ten children is a crying shame. I mean, if you think about it, the odds of having one of them sainted is slim to none. And what's a Welsh family without a saint. For shame...

Oh man, Pat's dad.

Yeah I thought he was mailing something at first, but couldn't figure out what. Now I can see the suitcase. Thanks, whuppins!

Crash Bandicoot 2, yeah.

Oh man theremin.

That would be the worst thing for a theremin. All passive-aggressive and attending DAR meetings.

Wasn't that the name of Clara Rockmore's farewell tour?

Believe it or not, last year I attended a wedding that had not one, but TWO theremins in the reception band.

Were the vows interrupted by Leslie Nielsen fighting a giant cartoon?

Leslie Nielsen.. one of the best Canadians of all time.

The way the panels are set up, I almost get the impression that Vlad and Pat's dad are whistling the same tune.

Oooh, what if they are? Fun! :D

It's a montage. Of course they are.

I imagine it's some upbeat, vaguely cheesy '80s song. My bet's on "I Melt With You."

Or "Wise Up" by Aimee Man, a la Magnolia .

Damn, that scene was ridiculous. It made the bit with the frogs look perfectly credible by comparison.

For some reason The Clash's "Broadway" came through my head as I read the strip.

Don't recognize it? It's hidden somewhere in Sandinista!. You can hear it when you're older.

Ray is being a hell of a "den mother" type here.

It's an opus.

man, everyone needs a friend like ray

Vlad's hat is fierce. Straight outta Milan, I'm telling you.

It also seems likely that Téodor (I can't replicate the penis accent aigu in any font, sadly) will either explode with resentment or collapse from exhaustion before this wedding is complete.

(Apparently, I can't even replicate a regular one here.

I'm the girl who... you know.)

Plus you got... you know. Dee-piddy.

But what would a man in a fez think about Vlad's hat?

I assumed that he had merely fashioned his thick and manageable robot hair into a bird shape, and was fixing it with hair spray. That's what I would have done.

Being a robot, I'm surprised he didn't opt for the more elaborate helicopter 'do:

[IMGS OFF]

I was thinking he just glued a stuffed bird up there and is spraying it to keep it good and stiff. I get the sense he doesn't really understand hairdos, but loves to try. See: Stoned Lightning and his Pete Rose hair.

It is totally a layer cake with a small bird glued to the top, which makes total sense it you think out it...


...keep thinking...


...wait are you still thinking about that cake with the bird? Hell I don'yt know what it means, come on I gotta turn off the lights a close up. Lets go get a drink, maybe it'll come to you when your not thinking about it so hard.

So many typos, but worst of all your instead of you're, my cheeks are red with shame...


...and spanking.

just be like me and use "yor" and claim yor being ironic.

No, Vlad has merely ensared a passing warbler and is now holding it in place with Aqua Net.

In a related news, what the hell kind of robot doesn't come with a hairpray attachment already installed or at least in the expansion pack?

No no, see, the bird shape is a hair aberration and arose out of nowhere. Vlad is spraying it with Windex a la Big Fat Greek Wedding to get the horrid feature to diminish quickly before the big day.

ketchup that bitch

I get the impression that in a getup like that Vlad will dance along with a mournful tuba, the dance being no more than keeping the elbows at stiff right angles and bending very slightly at the knees

I had a girlfriend who danced like that. She just bobbed up and down. I actually love dancing, and I'd be forced to leave the party and take her to my room before too many saw us.

She danced like that in bed.

Are we talkin' about the horizontal monster mash?

Not with the bobbing up and down. That implies either a blowjob natural, or some sort of odd right-angle sex. Certainly no up and down from a lady in the horizontal configuration. Let me get my Abba album covers so I can illustrate this to you

The Mattress Mambo?

Fuckin'?

...BONED?

...IN STAIRWELLS?

Thank you boys, for setting up a nice little roll there. It pleased me

awesome comment/avi synergy.

it is So good.

....with the tuba music?

I respectfully disagree. It looks to me like Vlad will will walk from his flat straight to the reception, walk in and up to the bar (still whistling) and order a martini. He will drink it in one smooth gulp, and walk neither slowly nor fast to the centre of the dance floor. Then he will dance the hustle without cease, and irrespective of the music being played, until it is time for him to go. He will leave with someone's recently divorced aunt or godmother.

Teodor is being an idiot if he doesn't hire at least 5 people to help.

Is it possible that he has been struck by GREED?
We do know that he buys all kinds of expensive crap - imported baked beans, antique ladle. Maybe there is something he has his eye on.

Monica is such a good name for a girl cat.
when I get a cat, I'm naming it Kevin. Case closed.
But this cat's name is Molly.
-the end

I was about to relate an anecdote about me wanting to call a cat Chairman Miaow and my dad wanting to call it Derek and me finding "Derek" the most hilarious name for a cat ever, but then I got a very strong feeling of writing this all on Assetbar before... Does anyone remember this?

But...but doesn't "mao" mean "miaow?"

I don't think you've shared this nugget of joy before, no.

I also sincerely hope that you didn't name the cat Derek.

Comment left by ___________---- ignored.

I have a chinchilla named Anti-Stephen for a very similar reason: Stephen is an awful name for a guinea pig.

A cat we had a long time ago had a litter of kittens and we ended up naming them all after political figures. The survivors were Mao, Castro, and Benito.

coming up next, Che

Monica is a cool name because it's the name of the nation that Aeon Flux fights for. The opposing nation is named Bregna.

I was going to type "Æon Flux" but then realized that this would happen.

w-wait, Assetbar can handle the Æ ?

Can we now call Teodor "Téodor", as well?

Well hell! I don't know if it's just my Opera browser, but I can see the special letters!

Aaand now I can't. Thanks for raising me up just to push me back down, Assetbar!

AssetBar thinks you not a fool, but a silly, trivial, neusance.

It's a character encoding issue. I use Firefox, so I don't know where the option is on Opera, but make sure the character encoding is Western, not Unicode or any other option. Your characters are showing up fine on my computer with that setting.

The problem with the "I've changed it on my end so I see what u did thar" mentality is that it doesn't fix the problem. It's just lazy nonsense on Assetbar's part that should have been rectified a long time ago.

Steve McCullough is the name of my weiner dog. I introduce him as such and then tell visiting friends of his prestigious law degree and involvement in the Community.

Is it me or are there so many chuckles waiting to be had in the comments today that *~*All the World's Feelings on this Asset are: Proud to be Here *~*

oh... v-chub.

Given that Onstad generally renders cars pretty accurately (cf. Cornelius's Mini, Beef's Galaxie), has anyone worked out what Ramses drives? I was thinking like a 6-series BMW but there's no kidney grille and there are NACA ducts in the bonnet...

I would also like to know, but lack the car culture chops to figure it out for myself.

im pretty sure he would drive an American car

But we know Aussie cars from the 1970's are fucking awesome; see the Ford Falcon Phase III GTHO, XB Falcon, Holden Torana, Chrysler Valiant (originally an American brand and a UK model, but whatev), et al.

Man fuck a car.

Im bout dem scraper bikes.

Teodor is going to have to put that video of him slicing 7lbs of mushrooms in one minute on YouTube. It's gotta be worth at least 60,000 potential dollars.

Basically I saw the penis accent as the male equivalent of the heart dotting the an "i". This should be used ...well I'd say "more often" but I think any use right now would be more than what is currently happening.

Ramses has the classiest of signatures

I'm having trouble identifying Ramses' ride, anyone know it? The closest I've found is that the hood resembles a '71 Mustang, but the headlight configuration doesn't really match.

It's probably a rental. If he had to drive 50 miles out of town to write that mushy card there's NO DAMN WAY he'd write it on the hood of his own car.

It's an Australian-Made Ford Falcon XB GT, as seen in the first Mad Max (the yellow police cars in that film).

Nice try but there is a definite stagger in the line of the grille. Falcons are straight across. You can see the step where the low beam headlight is cut off. That wrap around detail isn't falcon either. It still looks like a Mach 1 Mustang with the wrong shaped lights in the grille.

The cutoff is odd, but I do think it generally matches the Falcon XB - and the stagger in the grille may be as a result of using a lower resolution photo as a source. This is the only really good quality picture I found, I've resized it for Assetbar usage but you can clearly see the essence of all the details visible.

I guess I didn't recognize it because it's an Australian model.

[IMGS OFF]

I think it looks closer to a 71-74 Dodge Charger. Quick perusal of the internets shows that a few may have had dual hood scoops, and the line of the hood is sharper, like Ramses' whip, above, than the Falcon.

Actually, I'm changing my answer to a 1986 BMW 635csi with a custom carbon-fiber hood (explaining the hood scoops). That would be cool enough for Ramses. Barely.

Whew, at least someone else guessed 6-series Beemer, so my 'car culture chops' aren't completely in doubt. But the case for the Falcon is strong...after all, doesn't Ramses have something of Mad Max about him? Great Outdoor Fight-as-Thunderdome? 3,000 men enter, one man leaves?

I am not saying the Falcon is not a very cool car. It's just that the mid 80's BMW 6-er is a machine of staggering beauty and power, and thus perfect for Ramses.

The trouble with your theory is that people who buy 6 series are people who like to talk about cars. This goes double for first generation 6ers. Ramses does not talk about cars. He drives them to significant places or events. He drives very fast, or at a more reasonable place if he so wishes. If they break down he fixes them himself. No police man will ever stop him.
P.S. I vote Jensen FF.

That's very perceptive actually. You're right about the 6 series and its pull on the conversations of otherwise normal people. I once took a break between depositions by having an hour long conversation about getting a 6 series restored with an Indian (from India and all) Jehovah's Witness. It was a fascinating conversation.

Chubby, cause a Jensen FF is a perfect car for Ramses, that is not one though.

I know bugger all about automobiles, but the Ramses Luther - Mad Max - Mel Gibson - Braveheart - Ray Smuckles connection is most pleasing.

I dig on threads of comments by people who are Into Things; all thick and marbled with rich veins of information. I may not get it, but you do, and you put in the work for it.

You guys keep on keepin' on.

You get a chubby for the jerkcity dicklicking impression.

I've seen hundreds of '80s 6ers -- and they're both beautiful and awesome -- but this has gotta be a Charger. The pure badassness that is the Charger fits Ramses persona to a T.

Brock Samson drives a Charger.

It would be better if it was Kowalski's Supercharged Challenger. I keep willing it be so but it won't happen.

Damn! I take it all back. I just noticed the wipers are set for a right hand drive! XB Falcon for the win! Congrats akadriver! I would have thought if Ramses went to all the trouble of getting an XB he would have gotten the Condor grille from the black interceptor though.

de-grilled Alfa Romeo GTV6?

I also thought it could be an Alfa...

Doc Andretti is bringing his mother! Molly's mother looks just like her! Ramses is writting a sappy, avuncular note! Vlad is wearing a moistened bird! And his regular shoes! Simon! Also, George and Nina. This is awesome!

(Molly's parents are unaware that nowadays in the US, small children rarely contribute to the family business or subsistence farm, and so are not really an economic asset.)

She just loves the sound of a chorus of wailing children.

Wow. Ray is wafting the Gets-It-Done over to Téodore. This makes the second-sensitive planning of the last panel no surprise. ..nor the superhuman ability to slice 7 lbs of mushrooms in one minute.

EVERYTHING IS COMMING TOGETHER.

THERE IS ORDER IN THE UNIVERSE!

I might have to go to church.

It might be a self-creating order, though, rather than the product of a guiding intelligence. Or, such intelligence may be something essential to all experience and everpresent, rather than a supreme, distinct power.

Just mixin' a little mysticism into our collective Achewood experience.

good lad

Quite untrue. Things in nature tend towards entropy whenever possible. The idea of a self-creating order is simply unfounded. However, that sentiment does not automatically mean a jump in logic towards a creator of all things. That, too, is unfounded. I say don't worry: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Just wait for the wedding, where the universe will right all this "order".

Man how can you expect chupz when you haven't even hidden any secret messages in your posts or made random comments about Sandra Oh for like a week now? It's like you're not even trying.

Aw, give the poor guy a chuppy. At least he isn't getting around the post limit by registering multiple accounts. The man has standards.

The bullshit we've seen on here over the past few days has made me appreciate our resident art-trolls Manflesh and Rex all the more. Not everyone likes their style, but they're classy enough to shut the hell up from time to time. Hell, even Asherdan and Retardo are starting to look like valued members of the community.

For the record, they are shut up by dint of being lamed so often. A high lame total limits how often an account can post. poing well and proved that it is not due to wants that they post as infrequently as they do.

I think you haven't been around for the past couple of weeks, so I'll fill you in - what you just described is exactly the problem - people keep laming 'it', so it keeps making new accounts because it cannot conceive of the concept of shutting up. Unfortunately, Assetbar's security is such that you can drive a stolen bus dragging a bunch of rusty bikes through it, so it can keep doing this indefinitely. It has itself suggested that people stop laming it and ignore instead, but of course that only encourages people more, and besides, it wouldn't stop it from making new accounts every so often anyway. The best thing would be if we had more people with spam marking privileges around, but judging from yesterday's strip, there was only one, and he quickly ran out of steam.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, we should note from now on that besides replying to it directly, discussing it as we are doing now is also a form of encouragement and should be avoided. We need to carry about our business of Glengarry references and hastily photoshopped buggery as if we lived in a better universe where abominations of its sort simply don't exist.

Achilleselbow: On the spam-marking thing, you all are making me feel like you are the leader of the Axe Gang and I am Steven Chow. I can mark comments as spam, but you all keep saying to ignore. Which is it?!

Also, the "it" thing is totally out of line; that goes to all you folks. Use an epithet ("that fuckin' jerk") if you don't like him and want to insult him, but don't be like the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs. You de-humanize yourself more than anything.

Better to do what you keep saying: Ignore the posts you don't like. They do you no harm that you do not allow them to do.

I agree fully with this. While I can sympathize that Achilles had to change his icon, it just doesn't warrant this extreme reaction.

This is a good point. :sigh: It's been a while since I put up some hastily photoshopped buggery. I need to get back to roots here. I got some things to sort out.

I was wondering if anyone got my reference!

True, but the fact that they've yet to register alternates (unless they're the same guy; you never know) suggests a strength of character entirely alien to you-know-who. Even poing and snick had the decency to give up after their lame/spam count got too high.

Anyway, I should probably stop talking about Assetbar politics. Nothing good can come of it.

I always hate ignoring any user, on the off chance that they might say something worth reading and I'll miss it.

That will not happen in this case. Trust me.

If anything, ignore all except the original (alreadyinuse). Then whenever he creates a new one, gently chide him and ignore it. Teach him to live with his lames.

No, don't gently chide. He feeds on the chiding. Just ignore.

Don't all of you deserve lames from the sex fiend at this point? Or was it the whiskey label? I don't care. Obey your own rules and stop already.

People will hate me for this, but I just have to say this is a fantastic troll post right here on several levels. Not just the offensive password, but the fact that he directs his 'friendliness' to someone who is unlikely to read it because they have him ignored. At least the troll here is good at it.

The whiskey label? Me? I haven't lamed anyone, ever, as far as I can recall.

I have had whoper.

He's right, you know. "Closing in on Love" is basically just the Bowdlerized version of the internets classic "Rape is Imminent."

FURIOUS looking drawing of a ding dong.

I could SO cater a wedding for $100,000.01. And I would not be a dick about it.

I have more or less catered a small wedding for under 2 grand, and will be doing so again later this year. I could do this one up for 10K, then spend 90K on lapdances from fat women, and still have a penny left over to feed to a hobo.

It's people like you that are the reason hobos don't have teeth!

And for that, we thank you.

Nina! He arrests me!

Ugh... The pickles in my jar are really rattling, but no sound comes on the subject of: who is the cat that's offering Beef the salvation pill?

I really tried, you know. But no recollection. Even when using the expanded memory of the internets.

I love how the cheque says $100,000 and one cent .

one cent.. you know, for that little something extra.

Its kinda like sticking that one dollar bill in the hosts pocket at a fancy restaraunt. Don't go spend it all in one place now.

but getting that handful of chiclets at the local barbershop is just too tempting!

God bless the Barbershop Chiclets

I'll bet that exact amount that Ray got halfway through writing out the amount when he was struck by the concept of paying in palindrome.

Ray knows that Teodor can't resist a palindrome.

Are you saying I may not entreat you to play at Whist?

It is a major part of why my grandma is happy with me turning tricks. But that's another story...

And of course Pat's dad is from my home town.

Pat's gay gay gay gay gay dad is from my gay gay gay gay gay hometown.

Ah man, I'm going there in a week! Hopefully it's just gay gay gay gay by then. I don't know if I can take a 5-alarm city.

Portland is only at gay level orange right now, so I think you'll be OK. If you'd come a couple weeks ago during the Portland Pride Festival, however, then you would have been overwhelmed, as the city was at gay level red. They almost had to add level chartreuse above red in order to describe the extremely high level of gayness. In gayness, this fine city is second only to San Francisco, which is also the only city in the nation more sustainable than Portland.


PS: I am not trying to imply that there is any correlation between homosexuality and sustainability, I just know that SF is ahead of Portland in both of these areas.

PPS: I am also not saying that gay people are like terrorists, I just saw fineoakstructure's five-alarm comment and went a little bit beyond.

Is... is this why they drink Sloe Gin Fizz by the pitcher and not by the glass?


I love the way Lorreta Lynn sings Oregon .

If that ain't love, then tell me what is.

I must say that Lainestin is one of the hardest working trolls in the business. You seldom have a comment up for more than 15 minutes before he/she finds and lames it. It's almost like Lainestin knows when you're going to be on, or is maybe on at the same time. Or maybe you don't even have a machine elf and just made up the story to get attention, and we have all been too foolish to recognize it before now.


PS: You would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids

PPS: I don't really think that you are your own machine elf, but if you are, then I am awesome.

Seriously, right? "Lainestin"? Who's this blowjob?

And how does he have the ability to give out so many lames?

Its lame supply gets refreshed every so often, so sometimes it can only lame me a couple times but sometimes it can lame me till the sun comes up in the morning. It must have just gotten a fresh batch the other day.

Also, usually it is not so quick. Sometimes it'll go a couple days without laming me even. I don't know if it goes back to the old strips it missed and lames those, too. I imagine it does not have much of a life, so I wouldn't be particularly surprised.

It's like that movie where the killer is holding the girl in a basement and the detective is trying to save her, and at the end you find out that all three are the same person .

If someone animates the unicorn so it cries, I will have this as my avatar.

I mean the pegasus. Damnit, you know I got no sense of mythical equines!

We TALKED about this!

more like my little noobie

Which is better - pegasus or unicorn? A pegasus makes for better transportation, but according to Heroes of Might and Magic 3, the unicorn has 6 times as many health points and can easily take on like 4 pegasi at a time. Also, if a horse had both wings and a horn, would it be a winged unicorn or a horned pegasus?

Dude a pegasus could lose in a fight with a Toddler. Unicorns, however, will gore their mothers to death if they so much as hear one word they don't like.

On the other hand, Pegasi is a way cooler plurar form than Unicorns ...

The debate continues.

Okay, fingers. "L" and "R" are nowhere near the forgiveness zone of typing mistakes.

A common Super Nintendo mistake, however.

I figure a male mythical creature could crush either

I think Pegasus is rarer. I mean like unicorns are like a thing. But Pegasus is just one dude. Like just that one horse that the occasional God flew around on. It's not a species, like unicorns, right? There's just the one.

Also I haven't refreshed in like forever so this point may have already been made.

Au contraire. Pegasus was the mascot of my high school, and all together we formed the fightin' City High Pegasi. Just bunches of budding young Pegasi, ready to take to the skies (of academic achievement) and carry the Bellerophon (of civic and moral duty).

And yes, we were all a bunch of nerds.

I'd attempt this for you, odei, but the source material would never work as well in a 50x50 format as your current, adorable userglyphavapicsigilcon.

theirateturk is disappointed that Molly will not birth a basketball team for his ex-girlfriend to take on with her vagina.

Did something happen between your girlfriend and the dressage team, too?

loneal if you want to date with me you are going about it entirely the wrong way :(

Dogg, when loneal wants to bone you, she doesn't tease you about ex-girlfriends. She sleeps peacefully and allows you to cut off half her hair, while making the rest a lampshade-stiff mass of spackled tangle. That's how you know she wants to date you. Also you have to have a vagine

When loneal wants to bone you she'll just out and out tell you.

I've seen it.

Ahh, England. Land of opportunity.

one of my friends moved from Denver to Portland. she is now in Seattle, back in the rave scene again, i'm sure.

...i miss her not always being on X.

Seattle has a rave scene?

They wear flannel shirts in screaming neon colors.

I have actually seen those but only on scene kids.

the same people, apparently.

This is the best strip in quite some time. I really enjoyed it, and I'm hella looking forward to the wedding.

Doesn't Pat know that Portland is so passe now? Missoula, Montana is turning out to to be one of the hottest places in the country for pretentious green-ness.

That is Simon, Pat's dad. He lives in Portland because Pat forced him to move there.

Well, now I know...and knowing is half the battle.

It's weird that Pat and Simon are almost identical, but some simple muttonchops (and more clothing) make Simon look like a fairly pleasant, reasonable guy, whereas Pat is clearly a FUCKING ASSHOLE just from his appearance.

Maybe it's effective characterisation that makes me feel this way. Perhaps I'd see it the other way around if they'd always had each other's appearance, I'd associate Tommy Bahama and Lennon specs with being a GODDAMN DICK.

Leland says you're going back there!

No, wait a minute - he's right. I didn't realize until I re-read it that climacteric is a noun, not an adjective.

imagine what would happen if you took stairs...three at a time...

"yawning" is the adjective that comes to mind.

Wah wah waaaaah.

Actually, it is a succinct, electronic "bup-bup", as I recall.

True story, the other night I tried to convince all the guys that I go to pub quiz with to name our team "Anal Bum Cover for $600", but they would not do it for fear that we might get strange looks from other bar patrons. I think that next week I will agree with them on a team name, then go up and register us as Anal Bum Cover for $600, that'll fix their wagon.

Psh, you should play Team Trivia here in America (I assume that since you go to a pub and have friends who would discourage public stupidity, you are from the British Isles). It is extremely common here for teams to have names like Leave it to Cleavage (a team spearheaded by a woman with giant, hypnotic cans), or Feel Mike Hunt (three giggling frat boys).

Actually, I live in Portland, OR, but my friends didn't want a name that sounded like it could be potentially vulgar, so I lost the vote to "The Good, The Bad, and The Wally" (somehow my buddy Wally usually manages to sneak his name into our team name).

Wally, Wally oxen free!

I also live in Portland, OR -- The Good, The Bad, and the Wally are shitballs compared to the Fighting Mongooses, and also your friends are lame.

My friends who frequently take the pub quizzes at our local always name their team after a film with an STD punningly introduced to the title. HIV for Vendetta, Clap of the Titans, etc.

When my high school phys. ed. class went bowling every week, my team's name was the Lead Hogs (lead as in the metal). I thought it was an appropriately manly, quirky, yet (this was during school hours) non-outrageously offensive moniker. Unfortunately the rest of the class thought that it was the Lead-rhymes-with-need Hogs, and made unmerciful fun of us as we proceeded to hog the very bottom of the standings week after long-suffering week.

Just reminded me that my brothers favorite band "The Porkers" was once known as the "Pork Hunts'.

We once rolled (an won) with "Suck it, Trebek" at a quiz night that was a church fundraiser, IIRC.

I played a Quiz Bowl tournament as part of a team called the Dikkfours. A team of chemistry grad students clobbered us, but one of them did ask, "What's a Dikkfour?" so we won by default.

AHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH! Quiz bowl. Nerdiest activity possible when executed outside a drinkin establishment. I understand this will bring me lames, as likely about half of the Assetbums spent a large part of high school and/or college doing this.

Honey, you're a regular poster on a webcomic forum. Do you really think you're in a position to judge?

I also was captain of a National Champion quizbowl team in high school. I memorized over 17000 title-author pairs and other rote literary facts. I mock those who are like me. I giggle and point out our shared flaws. And then I masturbate furiously.

Dang man dude, you studied for Quiz Bowl? My team, we just rolled out there and did our thang . Sure, going to the state championship tournament did mean that I missed half of my senior prom... but it was okay because my girlfriend was team captain! Rollin' up to the dance floor with hella medals on, straight up garnerin' envious stares from those who could only aspire to be on the prom court or the football team... straight out of Hollywood, baby!

Ha ha, I'm lying of course. We didn't have a football team; we were the City High Pegasi.

Oh God, all any of my friends ever fucking do is study for Quiz Bowl. You leave 'em in the car for two seconds while you run upstairs to grab a jacket, and when you come back they've got old packets out and can't be bothered to talk to you.

Quick! Name all the works of George Bernard Shaw, run the periodic table from 92 backwards, then list the first 25 secretaries of state. Instead of dating in high school, I made myself able to do these things. Your friends will grow up to be failures who stalk younger women on the internet.

I should mention that these friends are grad students much closer to your age than to mine. One of them is older than you. That is the one I dated, unfortunately.

I remember the Superquiz part of Academic Decathlon. It was the most intense event ever. They would project the question on a large screen as some local TV news anchor read it out, horribly mangling all of the foreign names, tossing her glossy-straight highlighted locks. A dread silence fell upon the room as we circled our answer choices. Then, our local starlet would again read each answer choice out and ask us to raise our hands if we had chosen that answer. This went on until the bitter end, when the teammates of the victorious quiz-taker rushed the stage and swept their new god up in rib-crushing hugs.

It was almost like having friends.

Awesome, someone else from Acadeca (as we called it around here). What was your superquiz topic(s)?

The Renaissance. Oooo yeah. I've still got the CD. I've kind of got an affinity for madrigals anyway...

Ah. AcaDec. Renaissance was definitely my favorite of my three years, though I really had the whole package. I interned for DemiDec over the summer, led my school's team for three years, kept my school's program from going under, and (most interestingly) ended up dating one of my team members in an unbelievably awkward turn of events that led in our permanent estrangement.

AcaDec: if you squint, it's like being a movie star.

Oh, it can totally feel that way for a brief moment. My first year we won regionals, beating the until-then undefeated team. The applause when we were announced for first place was deafening; even though I knew deep down that it was more for who didn't win than who did, it was exhilarating. It was just like one of those '80s movies where the scrappy underdogs beat the rich jerks and all the other competitors cheer and carry the team on their shoulders because they are all extremely good losers.

Thats so Ray to ask a question on a personal check

The forecast says that there will be weather. I am finding that phrase and the George and Nina episode just exquisite at the moment.

This is an acceptable phrase in California English. Used to distinguish days where it is possible for water to fall from the sky from the other 355 days in the year.

I think throughout the country older people tend to think of clear skies as not constituting "weather" for some reason.

Water falls from the sky all the damn time roundabout these parts of California, but then we have to send it all down south to you droughted up motherfuckers.

That is just a really unhelpful attitude you guys have up there. If we can't steal your water, we want all the porno back. You can keep Arnold, though.

Sincerely, Los Angeles

The stern demeanor of your avicon makes your delivery extremely menacing. Here, have some more water! I won't even ask for any porno in return!

Don't give it all back, I need something to inspire me while I'm, uh, spackling

By spackling, he means masturbating furiously

I have this problem that when I smile for pictures, people think I'm smirking at them. I'm usually not smirking at them, and I know people don't like to be smirked at. So I grimace.

I am trying to get my people (those whose smiles are mistakenly interpreted as smirks) recognized as a federally-protected class for the purposes of employment and housing discrimination. I have a petition circulating.

I would like to get in on this. I have reached the point where instead of saying, "Smile for the camera!" people say, "Self-consciously smirk for the camera!"

We smirkers have been kept down for centuries, but not for much longer!

Yea, me too. In my handface photo, I was actually smiling as hard as is physically possible for me.

Cool avatar, but I think the head is supposed to hit the floor, ricochet off the wall, then land back on T-Bear's body. At least, that's how I interpreted it at the time.

Nah. Wicked backspin.

Am I the only one who would be just slightly worried to see a doctor at my wedding? It's like saying, "Something bad is going down today. Better be prepared."
Although he's probably invited because he's saved Beef's life at least twice, or something like that. So unless he shows up in the uniform, it's probably nothing to be paranoid about.

Naw, you got it all wrong...

Beef needed his dead-time to meet Molly - but he needed to be brought back to life again, too, or else... well, or else nothing, I think. But the doctor is, in a very roundabout way, the guy who facilitated their first meeting.

Dear Chris Onstad,

How are you? I am fine. The reason I am writing today is to ask that you please include a scene in the wedding in which Dr. Andretti interrupts Ray in the bathroom, as it has been some years since we have seen this happen, and the new context would make it very funny.

Up yours if you don't include it (but not up yours if you do).

Love,
