I was so close to pulling this move the other night

Stupid gravel floor

T's got hella moves

Agreed. I had to see what it really looked like...

it is impossible to give this comment as many chubbies as it deserves

The fact that you bothered to chop the "T" off "THOP" to make the little dotted-line "HOP" makes you a marvel.

O my goodness gracious.

Also, cue up Common - The Corner and watch this gif for a while.

That's really remarkable, he pumps his arms, strikes the pose and even hops in time, this is a connection so very removed in degrees but so very very appropriate.
"We write songs about wrong cause it's hard to see right; Look to the sky hoping it will bleed light"

You are a true American hero

Your avatar is almost as good as this animation. Bravo.

I love the crossed arms at the end. Teodor is so hard.

Thop.

It's the B-boy stance, look at some old Run D.M.C. photos

I find myself using this move at least once a day on my friends now.

Dang, though, the dance move requires proximity to a wall.

I don't think T�odor used a wall, he just put some back spin on his head when he bounced it.

or the edge of a panel in a comic strip

As well as the ability to remove your own head.

Dude...where my Fireys at?

Hell of chubbies for Labyrinth reference

Any dance move requiring the presence of a doctor is a 5 in my book.

Doctor Andretti takes a serious interest in the well-being not just of Beef and Ray, but also in their stuffed animal compatriots.

Thank you for putting this into The Right Words

Like Roast Beef, Ray is upset when people do not show up to eat his cooking: https://achewood.com/index.php?date=01172007

This is the kind of dance move they put in video games where the entire point is that your character is the biggest badass in the tri-state area, bar none. This belongs in God of War, or Godhand, or God Sudoku: Dismemberment Incident.

The look on T's face completely makes this. He is angry at this dance move, and he will beat it into submission.

It is the angriest a person can be, to do this.

DO YOU WANT SOME FRITTATA?

i just had a 'goats' flashback...

it's the rude disposition of the orezcu that propels this strip from "good" to "sweet jesus how can anything be this incredible."

Hell of head removal, yo.

I just love the

tiny little hop he does beforehand.

how could one tear one's head off without it

Also, being a stuffed toy helps. The actual clever part is how he bounces off the floor and back into place.

Bounces it off the floor and the back of the Teodor in front of him.

This move requires seven Teodors to pull off, three of which must be expendable.

I was gonna lame this comment for being nonsense, but then I looked up at the strip and realized it was a profound meditation on the comix medium. Scott McCloud should give you a medal.

Holy crap! A miniture chicken.

Maybe it's a Cornish game hen?

You... You cut 'em up, just like regular chickens.

My first Achewood!

this dance move raises really difficult questions

I'm assuming it's similar to Duck A L'Orange . (also)

Definitely real. Wouldn't have an overpowering citrus flavor, just a nice light one if done right.

what's wrong with you
citrus and chicken are perfect together

accidental lame dude. I wanted to chubby you because I agree whole-heartedly that citrus and chicken are perfect together! sorry :(

i can't believe you've done this

Hey Citrus, hey chicken, I love it when you touch each other.
(please tell me there's someone who gets this)

Man, brining is by far the best thing you can do to a chicken before you cook it. It seasons deeper and more evenly than any simple rubbing of salt and spices can do, and it keeps the white meat moist throughout the cooking while allowing the skin to brown. And the citrus flavor would add a delicious and subtle layer. Check out Alton Brown's Turkey brine. Maybe, if you're good, I'll find a link for you.

Convert, infidel.

Well, I guess I was imagining the citrus taste to be sort of oppressive or over-the-top. If it's only hinted at, I can see how it might be nice. But here's just something about that tired old salt rub that seems so right. Don't think low of me. In the end, I just don't really like...meals.

Ahem: "THERE'S" just something...

I would never think low of you, my man.

And in the end, we all became better people.

Citrus-brined chicken and totally-rude dance moves have a way of doing that, I guess.

And all throughout Whoville, there was peace in the land,
With rowboat, hellofyellin and zem hand in hand,
With happiest thoughts, the whole group did sing,

Citrus-Brined Chicken was officially a Thing.

i'm in it, chubbied

Just to put a nice ribbon on this whole thread - I have since eaten citrus brined chicken and it was great.

THE END

I'm surprised no one has posted this tune, and I'll be more surprised if Assetbar doesn't farkle the link:

Holy crap! Nice find, man. Dress up T in pink ribbons and put him in a kitchenette.

More surprising than Teodor's head coming off, is that Beef is wearing a shirt.
