"Roast Beef wrote the book about rewriting and then deleting the book."

I remember bridge diving when I was but a teenager, feeling yourself falling and then plunging into the murky depths of some backwoods river. It did seem to put things in to perspective, a side effect from the amount of endorphins that where running through your blood at the time. Next time I am faced with a difficult decision, perhaps I shall revisit my youth in this manner as Roast Beef has done here. Or, perhaps I'll just hide in my bed for a few days and ignore the problem completely.
Anyhoo I hope the two silly cats get hitched because lollers

That just makes this strip for me, above and beyond all the usual Achewood genius spread all over the rest of it.

For a depressive, Beef is very buoyant.
Here's the Man, Ray.

Me and my fiance have lists like this. A major item on mine is that when it comes to chicken wings, he only likes the drumsticks, and I can't stand to eat anything but flats.

the best part of the strip is the desperation apparent in the typing of asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasd.
I once got stuck writing my thesis paper and typed asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf for five fucking pages. I cannot imagine how hella long it would go on for something like this list.

The only thing that has fewer balls than a carrot listening to violing music is a cactus chef playing "We Didn't Start The Fire" on the recorder.
Balls quotient: -4.3 balls.

"....and just like that two folks set in motion the greatest and most drawnout tragedy, which is namely, that in fifty years, one of them has promised to sit there and watch the person that matters most to them die."
Damn.
I have the same exact view on marriage as Beef.
Should I be scared????

Oh my God, Beef's definition of marriage is horrible yet amazing. This is my new answer for the people who ask "Why?" when I say I don't want to get married.

The fact that one of Beef's Pros is that he can put his chin on Molly's head is one of the most romantic things I've ever heard. 5!

Is it odd that I find myself strangely attracted to Roast Beef? Like if he were a real guy I'd probably have a mad crush on him.

No. In so much as that if we believe you are speaking the truth, it means that most of us hold out some kind of hope as far as the ladies go...

As a very tall dude (6'5"), I can put my head on pretty much all heads. The trick is finding a girl in which this is a comfortable prospect, rather than one involving much slouching and contorting, which makes the fit less fun.

Well to be fair I've never heard anyone smile noisily.
Isn't that what a laugh is?
Point.
Though I had an image of 90 year old womans parchment like skin crinkling as she smiles at, oh lets say an old Sinbad routine.
Great now I'm gonna have nightmares where groups of parchment-skinned grandmas with blood dripping down the corners of their mouths where they smiled chasing me down a hallway. Thanks a lot.
Which then gets its ass kicked by the garlic, right?
The garlic loved that carrot.
Shame that beating up the pear won't bring her back.
Technically the only fruit that has an ass to get kicked is the peach.
All i'm saying is that the damn thing should put some pants on.
