This one strip adds great depth to his character. He draws on keen insight and his network of trashspotters & collectors in tracking Philippe, and yet he's hook-in-mouth credulous about one of the plumb looniest of conspiracy theories. It's like he has no filter for his ability to link facts and events and draw connections.

Onstad has helped revitalize the Beatles for me by using their songs so weirdly out of context. Now, whenever something completely horrible and panicky is happening, I start wailing "Lovely Rita;" whenever I have to take a disgusting dead rat out of a trap, I hum "When I'm Sixty-Four." A new lease on life!

I'm very fond of Emeril. this strip is one good reason why. Another is at the end of GOF, when he asks how the tenmen were.

I must say the moon landings weren't faked. But the car blaring "Lovely Rita, Meter Maid" is awesome. Is the tape stuck in the car?

I was thinking the same thing. The mixture of brilliance and craziness is in those folks is itself frustrating, because one never knows whether the next topic of conversation will be intriguing or batshit insane.
"I was looking up meditation on the internet last night!" :)
"Let's talk about string theory!" :)
"9/11 was an inside job." :(

xkcd is, in my opinion, probably the second most intelligent comic out there. Of course, rankings can be silly. xkcd could be most physics and engineering type intelligent, Achewood would be most intelligent culturally.
Monroe talks about this here .
Sometimes, being really intelligent just means you're really good at contorting logic to the view that you want to believe.

I love how Emeril believes the moon landings were faked even though Beef has been to the moon. So its not like it's impossible, just that certain moon landings were faked.

Just the first one. It was important to fake getting there first, in order to stick it to the Russians.
Because an ancient Sumerian tablet states that whoever touches the moon first, wins.

Best driving song ever. For reals.
what makes this is beef's ringtone
what is that from ?
It's 'Institutionalized' by Suicidal Tendencies.
That song is so goddamn hard to play on Guitar Hero...the tempo change...so hard.
I think that's mainly so hard because Guitar Hero is about time-matching what the guitarist did originally, and ST's original guitarist was either so trashed or so inept while recording (and the pacing therefore wandered so much) that I doubt even he could ever recreate the exact pacing of the studio track.
Please note that this observation in no way diminishes my absolute love for that song and album ("I saw your mommy...": classic!). Skate punk was FAR removed from any concerns about whether your guitarist was Yngwie fucking Malmsteen or something, and that was definitely a good thing...
Cross-over thrash for the win.

I just downloaded this song, and started looking for this strip. Just as I found it this part of the song came up.
(I'd say it's a lot like Weird Al's Albuquerque except told by your manic depressive pothead buddy)
and about 20 years earlier
and a third the length.
and good
This song pretty much defined our generation.
soundtrack for the strip.
Wow. Talk about a song that should never be made into a music video. That was laughable.
word it balances out the Beatles.
Beef's crotch is hella outraged about global apartheid.
