Cornelius wouldn't even need a bong. He'd use two old fashioned knives (perhaps even swords) and heat the weed between them.

Knife hits: classy?

Back in high school this was so popular we just called them "K-hits". Oddly the faculty was more worried about drugs than knives. We did get a good water-bong solution cocked up at one time. I have been known, when completely donked out, to scream into the night:

(wait for it)

K-HITS!
LOVE K-HITS!
MOIST!

In that elegant, classy way.

I'm sorry falseprophet, but it's time. There's new talent here and you haven't changed your game. It's dog eat dog out there, one artist is dropping "classical" new wave is doin it "classy". We're sorry, but you're off the label. All of us here at Sony BMG pass on our respect for your early work.

We can't offer you any severance, but we did make you a mix tape.

AS YOU CAN NOTICE THIS ISN'T REALLY A MIX TAPE I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE SONGS ONTO THE TAPE.

SORRY FALSEPROPHET.

I just noticed how perfect your avatar is! Guys look how perfect his avatar is!

Oh my lord, that is the most perfect avicon ever.

SPLUT!

he's using all his presents. what a wonderful application of oneself.

I seem tho recall edwell donating that on this thread.

to recall. Hmm, I have an internet lisp.

cornelius may have won the games, but lest we forget, let us all behold the raw power conjured on the day of lyle's and marijuana's twin birth

Chubbied this whole exchange.

It's a shame I changed my Avaicon because no one will get it.

It looked like this:


DAYMAN AHHAAHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH FIGHTER OF THE NIGHTMAN! AHHHHHAHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We have a radio station that calls itself K-HITS, KHTT 106.9. This is a station that plays Britney Spears, so I would rather gouge out my eardrums than listen to it, but, hey, you brought it up.

There are probably 50 to 100 other radio stations that refer to themselves as K-HITS. So, really, you probably aren't going to get the reaction you hope for by shouting LOVE K-HITS .

You may, however, get two tickets to see CHRIS ISAAK from Wacky Will and the Morning Crew if you were the 11th caller! AWOOOGA!

11th shouter?

sometimes i run,
sometimes i hide...

"K" radio call letters start west of the Mississippi, I think. They start with "W" in the East, i.e. WLS in Chicago, so fuck your K-Hits.

you are correct.

The Communications Act of 1943 established the W to the east, K to the west rule.

And I agree with "fuck K-Hits." I cannot imagine any radio station called K-HITS be something I would ever listen to. You ain't never gonna find no Tom Waits on no K-HITS.

K
LOVE IT
SEDATIVE

one of my friends once did K with James St. James.

actually, she sold it to him.

Umm no. It's a sedative in horses.

Couldn't remember the proper name for something that mainly causes the perception of having very large hands and a severe inability to walk properly.
But seriously, there should totally be a word just for that. It would be a good one to toss around.

Nobody should ever listen to K-HITS, even in jest. What a horrible station.

What a rotten application of one's radio tuner.

They are a great disappointment to their parents.

In my dormitory in Moscow I used to do knife hits of black hash with a Georgian named Soso. Classy doesn't even begin to describe it.

The Maltese crosses in Lyle's calligraphy make the frontispiece vaguely reminiscent of the Georgian flag.

Hash in a hot knife, that's what I'm talkin' about!

As usual, Connie left an exquisite record of his early experimentation, written whilst under the influence. At first he intended it to be only for his own edification under more sober circumstances, but he later realised that the little bagatelles might provide some amusement to others:

Excerpts from Main Features Of My Second Impression Of Hashish

"The dual structure of this depression: on the one hand, anxiety; on the other, an inability to make up one's mind on practical matters..."

"On my return home, when the chain on the bathroom floor proved hard to fasten, the suspicion: an experiment was being set up."

"The constant digressions under the influence of hashish. To start with, the inability to listen. This seems incongruous with the boundless goodwill towards other people, but in reality they share the same roots. No sooner has the person you are talking to opened his mouth than you feel profoundly disillusioned. What he says is infinitely inferior to what we would have expected from him before he opened his mouth, and what we happily assumed him to be capable of. He painfully disappoints us through his failure to focus on the greatest object of our interest: ourselves."
(Amusing sidenote: he's speaking here of Gore Vidal, with whom he got lit on this occasion.)

"Hunger as an oblique axis cutting through the system of the trance."

Fearful of the embarrassment the publication of this essay might create for Iris Gambol, were it to find its way to her friends in the Auxiliary, Connie arranged for it to be posthumously credited to Walter Benjamin.

I can't speak for the lamers -- in fact, I haven't even lowered my threshold to see who it was -- but by congratulating Onstad on his great comic, you were kind of stating the obvious, at least according to most people on the board. People were also probably pissed that an 'newb upstart' like yourself should tell onstad what he should or shouldn't do with his time. Basically, from what I can tell, you made yourself look like an oblivious fanboy. But also, some people on the 'bar are hella douchebags.

this is true, and while most everyone on here is not a douchebag, there is still a great diversity of opinion and point of view, so no matter what you say and how you say it, there is a good chance that in someone's world view, your statement will be lame, and in fact you often won't even be able to figure out for yourself why they think this. You can ask, but it probably won't help, because most people don't want to diagram their inner thought process for you. Asking them to do this is kind of like for example asking someone why he or she likes the color green... It can be hard to explain. So don't worry about it. You can try to be inoffensive to most people on here, but if you try to argue with someone on what they consider lame, and disagree with them on their opinion, damn, that is an argument that you can't win, it just ends in name calling and AM NOT AM NOT ARE TOO ARE TOO kind of stuff.

Changing the subject for a moment, what is up with rating this strip a 4.4? It is at LEAST a 4.7! Gawd! Sometimes you people make me so angry I can't begin to tell you!

I just kinda assumed that people were doing it because they just plain didn't like me. But the compliment may be obvious, but I was just being nice. And I told him he should come on mre because he would be accepted, I guess. Did you see his first post? I don't know. I wasn't telling him he should go on; he can do whatever he wants.

I rated it a three. You have to rate it against other achewoods, I think, and not against other comics.

If you pay attention, you'll notice that nearly everyone gets a couple of random lames here and there for absolutely no reason at all. Complaining about it, however, will garner you more deliberate lames because everyone's been over this a million times and it's a boring discussion that no one wants to look at. So just ignore it and stick to making good posts like you've been doing otherwise, and soon you'll have enough chubbies that you'll stop caring about a few pesky lames.

Yeah, you're right. I won't worry 'bout it no mo'.

Here, have a "keep on truckin'" chubb.

Here's a chubb-chubb for both of you: you for just being cool and uplifting like, catgrl, and you for giving up a losing battle while you still had your dignity, sje. Good going, folks!

Aww, thanks!

niiiiiiiice

The phrase "groin idiots" alone makes it a five.

I'm pretty sure the vast... vastitude of the assetbar is a back-pat enough for my hot sauce vendor.


So ... what font does Onstad use for his speech bubbles?

The font he uses is named Interstate, and it is a good font which can be used for many purposes. I recently developed a website in which the central font is a version of Interstate called Interstate Mono.
Despite my desires, I have decided to abstain from providing a hyperlink to the website in question, due to the shameless self-promotion that it would portray. Anyhow, it is a website for a management training firm located in the North West of the UK, so what do you care in any case? (Unless you are from the North West in which case we should have a beer immediately. There is a supreme shortage of Achewood aware citizens in Lancashire.

It's at my expense . . .but I like it. (or are you satirizing the folks who lamed me?)

I am. Because I actually chubbied you for your audacity. You have big balls, son.

This chubby should be bronzed and displayed prominently upon your mantle for all your dinner guests to exclaim over.

All hail contrasoma, King of Assetbar!

A comment left by keir was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by ZombieJesus, LucidLoon, Vee, ethelthefrog, kickstart)

Why?

That's a fun question, really.

And it works in virtually any situation!

Also, I think it's funny how you put "chubby" in quotation marks so as to distance yourself from the concept, considering you are the one who presumably created the terminology in the first place.

I also thought this was funny. 'One of these new-fashioned "chubbies" the young people are giving nowadays, hmm?'
Also, whoa, is nobody going to give Onstad a "chubby" himself? I kinda don't want to be the first. It makes me feel shy. I'm all shuffling from foot to foot, playing with my hair, nervously circling one toe in the dirt. 'Uh, Mis... Mister Onstad? I, I've got a "chub- oh never mind, nothing'.

I gave him one for you.

That was adorable.
You get a chubby for writing cute words on the internet!

That seems like a lot of trouble just to annoy one person who irritates me mildly at worst. Plus I didn't really understand any of that creating new accounts malarkey.
What Assetbar needs is to appoint me King of the Mods so I read through all the comments and ban people who get all up on my goat.
(Wait, that would mean I'd have to read all the inane comments every day, which would obviously suck more than somewhat. I need to go in the other room and ponder this)

You're so close to finding the solution, and yet so far...

The solution is to stop whining, ignore the comments and just read the strip. It's so SIMPLE.
Goodbye forever.

This one is a win-win-win. The extra win is for winning. Also I'm not sure if this guy's new avacon is Ron Jeremy or not.

It... looks like Ron Jeremy as Mario. And I don't know how to feel about that.

I feel like maybe it's about time for a new Super Mario Bros. movie!

I feel like maybe it's about time for a new Super Mario Bros. movie!

I think we're at that special aaaaage !

Sliding down your pipes. Hitting your bricks. Spewing 'fireballs' everywhere. He's takes mushrooms to get all big. Pornstar Mario doesn't care which castle the Princess is in. He'll settle for anything.

It's hornio, the lost mario porno. And it is rn jeremy. No one goes to something awful?

Not if I can avoid it.

It's a pretty funny site. It's not porno, at all. It just had an article about this not long ago. Here:
https://www.somethingawful.com/ . It's always good for a laugh.

Oh, I know what it is. It's how I learned all about swap.avi after all.

I just urbandictionaried that.

I think I'm done with this internet.

The FUCK , Hedo. It's obviously Ash from Evil Dead, during one of the "Ash goes nuts" scenes (my bet is the Windmill scene from Army of Darkness). Of course it's me that picks this sorta thing up. In fact, it is so damned stereotypical of my Assetbar persona, that I'm going to go back to a classic avatar from my own personal cache.


Meanwhile, when's this muthfucka gonna give up? Have someone else to hate, or something else to DO. It was funny for a while how easily you could string Elbox along, and how you were putting in a fair bit of effort into your troll character, but Crom's devils, it's a bit fucking sad now.

Hellballs, it's enough to confuse my orifices and make me vomit up my own shit onto the keyboard, try and clean it up with my own pubic hair, and slam my head in the fridge door until someone finds me and pays me money to go get drunk and forget all this crap ever happened.

That's how fucking stupid it is. And you are.

By the way, from second paragraph-onwards I was talking about AlreadyInUse (et al handles) and his ongoing slapfight with AchillesElbow, and not about Hedonismbot or any of his workings.

You know I got naught but love for the the droid with the massive love tool.

Haha, I was like "Did I miss something here?"

DO you like the droid because of his massive love tool, or were you just clarifying which love droid you like?

Errr.....I, um, dicks?

Also, I seem to have come here at the exact time that he had his avicon changed to Bruce Campbell, and then changed it back again in time for me to look like a tard.

Thanks, man. Thanks a lot.

Wait, no, I just got confused because they were both using the same avatar. I see what happened now.

Nothing to see here, folks.

I changed my avatar because it was stolen by that crazy person who wrote the long all-caps rant and I wanted to distance myself from him. He seemed to think we were about to become some kind of crime fighting team.
It's annoying, because it's my most badass avatar.
(Damn, I'm not supposed to be commenting. Disregard everything)

I think you made the wrong choice.

String me along? Sure, if you wanna call it that. I don't see how what you're doing now by responding is any different than what I've been doing.

If you're wondering why I've been singled out, it's pretty simple really. A while ago when his trolling was not yet full-blown I happened to mention on here that I'd be in Chicago for a few days, after which he added and messaged me on Facebook asking to hang out. I politely declined and gave my reasons for doing so, but still added him back because I figured I'd give him a chance and there's no way anyone could be that much of a tool in one-on-one communications. I was proven wrong, after which I told him off and blocked him. That's all there is to this story.

Anyway, my point is I don't see how I've 'fallen' for some trick or other. It seems more like you have by indirectly helping his strategy of singling people out and attacking them. I still think you're rad, just, you know, lay off and don't blame the victim.

But elbox, you were wearing a pretty short skirt, and you had had a bit to drink. Come to think of it, you were hanging around a pretty bad part of town, too. It's almost like you were asking for it...

Touche, Elbz. Well said. I recant my "stringing along" comment, as there was clearly History. I kinda also made that comment somewhat just as a playful jab at you, however in hindsight the way in which I implemented it seems a bit too obscure to have really been seen as playful. Oh well, not enough sleep.

And yes, I realise the irony of my posting like 20 times in response to him (indeed, responding at all). The irony is biting as it is tasty. Tasty, tasty irony. There is no better.

It's actually from Evil Dead II, I only know this because I just recently watched Evil Dead II and saw that, and then remembered what a big dick Keir is.

Looks like my personal troll garden is coming in quite nicely this season.

Oh, hee hee hee! Alreadyinuse all with a little fishing rod, telling you to go fuck yourself.

Not wanting to sound like a heel, but Onstad is in a weird place with this comment: should he comment more, and risk losing the air of mysteriousness that currently surrounds him (with the exception of the occasional A.V. Club article or New Yorker piece), or should he comment so infrequently (like, his current pace) that any comment is like a thunderclap from the heavens, or a wizened hand fixing a lead bulla to a parchment that indicates a pronouncement ex cathedra ?

On another note, Lyle's Genesis story does seem like the ultimate "Fuck You Friday" line.

I think the latter.

"Thunderclap from the heavens." That's how I felt, yeah. Getting a chubby from Onstad is like the Pope giving you a Cadbury egg on Easter, and I think it should remain that special.

But the thing is you can know who lamed you by lowering your lame threshold, but you can never know who chubbied you. So how do you know you never got a chubby from onstad before?

Oh my god. You're right! What if... What if he appreciates me? That would finally validate my existence, but I'll never know.

Quote:
When you do things right, people aren't sure you've done anything at all.

I'm sorry, Mr. Groening. It sounds deep, but I'm not sure if that actually makes any sense.

The Pope is a lie

Still be hella special getting a Cadbury egg on Easter from him!

Is... is that the camp nazi from Allo! Allo! in your avaricon?

...and if I had read all the comments I would have had an answer, sorry.

No sweat, Octafish. It's hella nice to be recognised!

It is a little known wild speculation that every Easter the Pope blesses one True Believer with a Faberge Egg, which he himself lays. Inside this egg: the finest Chocolate Jesus you will ever taste.

Not to piss on the campfire here, but what would prevent someone from creating an account with the name Onstad and using it occasionally? Do we have verifiable evidence that the Onstad account belongs to the man himself?

Look at his status, that is proof enough.

Holy shit, dude! You got a chubby from Chris Fucking Onstad !

that is an awesome middle name.

i bet you ANY kid with that as their middle name would write his full name all the dang time.

i would have enjoyed his comment even more if he'd fucked up the bbcode


Only alreadyinuse would lame this. And he did.

Oh, isn't that just so clever and subversive, laming the creator of the comic you're reading. I'm sure he has a masturbatory 40-page manifesto prepared about how it's an exploration of social conventions or something.

You have quite the post history. Only 8 comments, but apparently one was made 38 years ago.

He is master of time and cartoons.

Contrasoma has brought his "A" game this week. Thank you for these hashish ideas.

We would like to sign you to the label mr. contrasoma. The papers will be on your desk Monday.

The availablity of bongs and rarity or knife hits in Charlotte has just garnered me two lames and a chubby.

I like to imagine that the lames come from people who are all "man what is daidai talking about I'd kill for a bong. I'm so sick of k-hits, had em since middle school. What a wacky cholo that daidai is."

Then I imagine the chubby person is all "Yeah daidai bongs just aren't as fun after a while. I'd love a knife hit like I'd love a Porsche. Badass."

He's like Donald Sutherland's character from Animal House: the original beat pothead, who everyone called Daddy-O and Corny Baby.

they aren't smoking hash. this would not work.

I was born three, and it has been a downhill battle ever since.

Downhill battles are actually pretty easy. It's the uphill ones you gotta watch out for.

It has all been downhill. It has all been a battle. It has been a downhill battle.

Downhill battles are the means by which the rowdy youths that live in my town determine who is head honcho. They are frequently broken up by the police.

I'm imagining kids tobogganing down a long, snowy hill, beating each other with chains in a sort of Road Rash -esque pantomime.

That's pretty much exactly what I was going for. Maybe with skateboards instead of toboggans, for that extra flavour of disenchantment.

And here I thought he was talking about Initial D, and people driving down hills in the rain to prove who has faster balls.

As three as the wind blows?
As three as the grass grows?

See if you'd been born three as an Indian prince from antiquity you could have achieved enlightenment.

Nirvana is classist like that.

kurt cobain is so damn conceited

When you take Lemmy as your role model, there are exacting standards which must be maintained. Look at him . He drives through girlfriends' houses. The cold embrace of the grave cannot hold him. He is the way, the truth and the lager.

Trick question! Lemmy IS God!!!

I know what you are referencing, and I am very disappointed in both of us.

Seriously?? As the sole chubbier of said comment (thus far), I merely have to state "Young, hot, long haired Steve Buscemi, Young Adam Sandler".. not to mention... "hot, long haired Brendan Fraser." Airheads was great!

I see those three names, and I see you using the word 'hot', and some part of my brains skips out. You seem to find lots of gents pretty attractive.

Brendan Frasier has a huge chin. i was given to understand that this is generally attractive to lady types?

Nah the ladies really dig on Jay Leno, Punch, and Mac Tonight. Who thought promoting a family restaurant with a character named after, and singing a parody of, a song about a psychopathic, murdering, raping, arsonist was a good idea?

Ya, I'm not down with the chin. The long hair rocker boy, yes.

Steve Buscemi is one of my favorite actors, but, uh, "hot" is not a word I would ever use to describe him.

I had a dream about him.
It left me with only questions.

I threw up the horns in a church after I went to see my friend get baptised. It was just all kinds of inappropriate.

Chubby from the girl who went to her father's Catholic baptism (at 4AM Easter morning, no less) tripping my ass off on shrooms.

I wish I could give chubbies to the both of you so hard.

Oh my god that's IT! Hallucinagens in church. Damn:

"My children thank you for coming today, if you all look under your seats..."

It's all about the Rapture , man.

More like rupture!

Rapter?

All gettin' chased by Jurassic Park velociraptors, feet hurting like crazy in those shiny shoes, being torn apart and bleeding all over those fine threads.

What if you're a doll and your fingers are fused-together plastic?

My first response was "More weed, less shrooms."

Then I watched the clip. LOL. Gave me an idea for a new seriea of puppet master movies....

Aww, would have been first if I had registered before today.

Just like the last Woot-off, the Ninja Gaiden 2 poster that came with a reserve of the game at gamestop, the free squirtguns at Lollapalooza 2007, and the Costco lobster bisque samples that ran out ten minutes before I got there.

be gentle it's my first comment too

Nothing feels free at Lollapalooza because the shirts cost you your entire wallet and an autographed picture of you with the words "my soul" written in blood.

Is that... Doug Funny getting crucified?

Doug Funnie needs to learn that is not how you win the heart of a blonde-haired black chick.

Sorry about that. I just did a google search and that was the first one that showed up (i misspelled Patty) and I thought that it ws a bit . . .odd.

What about "very special episode" oriented fan art?


I can totally hear Skeeter's voice in this and that makes it absolutely hilarious to me.

I totally hear the "honk! honk!"

That comic was one of the very few laugh out loud moments I've had on the internet. I am so hungover right now, I very much needed it. Chubby!

It is sometimes referred to as 'Chuckle Brothering' which is funny in the UK

You learn something every day.

"Man, it's been a while!"
"Since I chuckle brothered you that is."

That bird in the picture sure likes a bit of 'Dick & Dom'...

Saying that something is funny in the UK is kind of like saying that a band is big in Japan.

... and is kind of a recommendation depending. If it's humour and it's big in the UK, rad. If it's music and it's big in Japan, also rad.

These are both horrible overgeneralisations.

I go with "Chinese Fingercuffs" myself.

...we already know of your love of things Jay and Silent Bob related.

I like that one too.


Man, that movie ended so badly. That was the point I started really disliking Kevin Smith. I never got into him as a genius subversive filmmaker, but I could enjoy the funny and a few other bits. That ending was terrible. From there on I only went to any film to look for silly humor, a step above Will Ferrell, a step below John Landis. I stopped going at all after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

What exactly did you hate about it? Having been in a similar situation myself, I thought it was pretty poignant and spot-on.

Chasing Amy was unfortunately not well written, in my opinion, in that it explored questions of sexuality and orientation and arrived at mostly tripe stereotypes and myths.

Gay America's feelings on this movie are: con

My friends call it a suspension bridge.

Why's she sucking off an Andorrian?

Or is it one of the Blue Man Group? Does that mean there's two more waiting their turn?

Oh, no, Mihcael. I'm not in the group yet. I'm afraid I just blue myself.

I get that reference!

Man, those Smurfs have really loosened up...

I pray this post will explode into a thousand lames.

I'm surprised it hasn't.

To tell you the truth, the first time I saw it it was a bumper sticker on Facebook, and I actually got mad at the girl who posted it. And then I saw it today while searching for pattie mayonnaise, and I wanted to see what how assetbarians would treat it.

Ah, the Wobbly H . Good times, good times.

I've often wondered, what does the woman get out of such a three-way? (Besides a bad reputation.)

Let's ask theirateturk.

I don't want my dick in some chick's mouth while some guy is banging on her from behind. One thrust just a little too hard and she does a Lorena Bobbitt on me.

Depends on is she's on the winning side or losing side. If she's winning, she gets to get it on with two guys she hopefully has passions for. If she's losing, then let's hope she's got some bi in her. The greater question is what men get out of them. We can only stick it in one place at a time.

Yes, but it increases the degradation factor.

sex is not degrading

You must be doing it wrong.

Nah, I'm just not someone who gets his jollies from degrading people. I am, however, dirty as fuck.

that's pretty dirty.

Sex is not degrading, but fuck is dirty?

Oh yeah!

Makeouts?

Dizneedave and chair! Maye you should post your own posts before judging other people's, my potential friends? Just a thought.

Do you really expect to reason with someone named Dizneedave.

Yeah, my hopes aren't high.

if there was a way to chubby and lame this at the same time, I would, in infinite quantities of both. However, I decided to chubby it

Yeah, it's definitely a controversial one.

a literal chubby, amirite?

That's drawn surprisingly well, apart from Skeeter and Doug's faces.

one time i got stoned and read a magazine with Duke Ellington

Me oh my, I once saw that man in a magazine.

I didn't let my grandchildren read that, as the article was overly concerned with this "jazz" situation music was in back then. Oh if only he'd get into some respectable music rather than throw all that talent away.

I formally request the stoned monologues of Mr. Cornelius Bear and his adventures with the jazz cigarettes back in the day.

Rioting to follow?

That is the best way to use the word groin, Lyle. The best way ever.

P.S. Hey y'all, groin buddies.

Chub for "groin buddy". I think I would use it in a different context, though....if you catch my drift.

I thought Lyle was a fifty seven year old maritimer type, on the tail end of Cornelius' generation.

He probably looks older than he is. He lives life hard.


Oh fuck me.

I'll say!

Philippe was born five.

Are all stuffed animals born the age they will be their whole life?

And does that mean that Lyle is three and will remain three the rest of his life?

No. Probably not.

I want phillipe creation story comic.

And Philippe will die five.

That is so sad. Five year olds don't die; God won't allow it. They live forever!

God is a lie.

*the cake

Maybe the saddest thing ever.

daaaamn i didn't know lyle was a tiger

He's not. On Monday we'll learn how the baby tiger exploded like an overripe watermelon, leaving only Lyle and a bottle of Jim Beam in the ashes and filth. Then the bottle of Jim Beam will turn into Lyle, and the first Lyle will disappear in a puff of diesel fumes. And the second Lyle will go get another bottle of Jim Beam. This is called self-corroborating detail.

"She's got the ACE OF SPADES!"

motorhead, bitches.

Is Motorhead the explanation for the "ACE OF SPADES" reference here? I read the Wikipedia entry on this playing card, but am still unsure as to what most people, referring to it, are talking about.

I was only aware of its pop culture significance due to its presence in an old Marx Brothers routine in Animal Crackers! (This is why I'm not allowed to smoke pot.)

A dude who's never heard of Motorhead...you're a rare breed, groin friend. A rare, wild breed.

not sure, but it's what clicked in my noodle.

lyle has kind of a dirty hessian mystique. and Motorhead with its early thrash sound would seem like a natural fit. they definitely have a "fuck you" attitude.
.

he just wreaks of booze, hard rock, black clothes.. fuck you attitude.

also, a cultural reference you may not know either.. when the original Metallica was on tour, there was competition for the top bunk on the bus. Cliff Burton drew cards with Hetfield for the spot. Burton got the ACE OF SPADES.. and tossed it in Hetfield face.


the rest, as you don't know, is history. the bus crashed, flipped and Burton was killed. if he hadn't been in the top bunk, he'da survived. and yet another way to look at it is, if hadn't drawn the ACE OF SPADES, he'da lived.

didn't know that bunk-drawing bit...that's incredible! cliff was really the reason metallica had released some interesting shit. as soon as he died, they practically stopped being metal.

bullshit, ... and justice for all is one of their heaviest and most complex albums.

True. It was more like when they actually started letting Newsted play.

Nusteadt? I heard that guy jumped the shark.

There's no real question about it being a Motorhead reference. Do people not remember Lyle's decision-making flowchart ?

...And I'm not sure who that alterna-douche in the top photo is, but it sure as fuck isn't Lemmy or anyone else connected with Motorhead.

So angry contrasoma!
It's just Motorhead after all! *ducks*

Shit, where's the umlaut command?

Bro, given that we can't even type plus signs without breaking the internet , I wouldn't wanna flex with Assetbar as far as umlauts are concerned.

I'm not your bro, dude.

I'm not your dude, chum.

I'm not your chum, chap.

I'm not your chap, chode.

I'm not going to dignify that with a response, pal.

I'm not your chode, sweetheart

I'm not your sweetheart, lover

I'm not your lover, rapist.

I'm not your rapist, psycho

I'm not your psycho, hitchcock.

I'm not your lover, daddy

I'm not your daddy. Tell your mother to stop calling me.

But Simon, you're already dead!

I'm not dead, compadre.

No estamos compadres, jailbait. Another Motorhead song that one.

Chubbied for the Spider Jerusalem icon.

yeah. kept looking at that thinking "Man, Lemmy was young.. and somehow very modern looking. That pic was taken with a 1970's state of the art hasselblad then scanned with the best scanning software of today and PhotoChopped"

but no. it's none of that. it's just a contemporary pic of some dooshknocker.

no mole = no lemmy

Too many strings, not enough ugly, and he seems to be looking forward while singing, that is no Lemmy I've ever seen.

I'm not 100% on this, but I think it might be Adam from Killswitch Engage. And of course I am of low mind for even possibly knowing this.

I would give you a lame for that knowledge, but that would make me of Low Mind as well.

That beard...that beard evokes a visceral reaction of disgust and fear in me. That beard triggers my flight or fight response.

Man Lyle worships Lemmy

Motorhead fucking rules, mang.

I'm glad I don't live where Motorhead rules.

You're on another planet!? Which?

I wanted to link the motorhead video, of course, but this caught my eye and I had to share, hehe

https://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=zs3fqpj04OM

i gave it a 4 based merely on the fact that i didn't have to see Pete on here.

A 4?!? THAT IS NOT A 5

RABBLE RABBLE

LAME

(Nah, I gave it a 4 too)

I gave it a 2, because I didn't really think it was very good.

if you clicked on Achewood another 2 days and it was the Nice Pete / kill a dog strip, you'da been Fivin' it.

what

I was gonna give it a five based on the fact that I had demanded to see Lyle being crass, but this just doesn't have the old magic. Why do 90% of strips have to end with someone going to write a book? That's the kind of idea Ray would get, not Lyle.

It's true what you point out. Seems like "go write a book" has become an Achewood "trope". One could argue it goes against that old "show, don't tell" principle.

The books-written are entertaining, though. A lesser entertainer would not be forgiven for these sorts of shenanigans!

one thousand flames exactaly.

Jerk. I was gonna say that.

Chubby I guess.

Same here. Except I probably would have spelled exactly right.

Lyle figures that if he can trace his heritage back to a Chevy Apache, he can open his own casino.

Lyle's official font is Baskerville Old Face. I'm not quite sure what that says about him.

And his logo is askew.

Bless you!

(god I'm awful)

Lyle, Lyle, Did He Who Made The Lamb Make Thee?

I don't think Lyle is burning bright, though.

I think he is more burning out .

And then the little fuck stole my burrito!

Really, Lyle is Gilgamesh and Todd is Enkidu.

Nah.

Lyle never went to Hell to get Todd back.

Nor did Gilgamesh go to Hell to Enkidu back...

Someone is hella mixing Near Eastern post-Inanna literature with the Greek rites of Orpheus. Faux pas!

*pop*
AAAUUUUGH! Shit! Oh god! Fuck!

Same time next asset?

Guys, I know he's an ass, but even just telling him that makes him happy in his three-sizes-too-small heart. Just ignore the troll.

I'm glad nobody's laming anybody for responding anymore. Really, either way it's handled, I think learning to live with him is just about the smartest thing to do. No little strategy has worked, and eh, I personally don't find one troll out of a lot of users to be that much of a problem. Ignore/Lame/Comment as you please, I don't think anything outside of his own interests changing is going to make AIU stop posting.

As a longtime troll, I can tell you, your vocalized resistance only makes his penis get harder.

My grammar may be off, but, in that last sentence are you not identifying yourself as a longtime troll with experience in penis hardening? Someone diagram that sentence for me.

Sentence one:[I(subj) can tell (verb) you (object) as a long time troll (adverbial phrase)]
that
sentence 2 your vocalized resistence (subject) makes (transitive verb) his weewee (object) get (verb, modifies object) harder (?).

No, he did not say that, grammatically. But pragmatically, yes, he did.

(I got a C in linguistics)

Autre is not a he, but rather a hot girl.

Which makes her experience in penis-hardening a bit more interesting.


Sorry I thought you were a guy, autrepoupee. You don't have to post pics to prove it. (unless you want to).

ty loneal, my experience comes from being an autre with an ultra (wang that is)

how do I know that the sentences that you are diagraming are equivalent to the sentence in question? It seems to me that they are not.

A sentence can have more than one sentence in it, believe it or not. If you say

"I know that you are a nice guy"
that is a sentence, but also "you are a nice guy" counts as a sentence as well.

yeah I know this, but, I'm saying, the component sentences you propose don't appear to be valid.

I think they are.
As a long time troll I can tell you that ("that" is optional) [secondary sentence]. You can just move the adverbial phrase, and add the THAT and it is an equivalent sentence.

Well since I wrote it, I guess I should explain how I meant for it to be translated.

When you make a big deal out of a troll, whether by loudly proclaiming at every instance "Don't feed the troll ok" or by saying "I'm playing along with your gimmick and I'm going to believe you are actually crazy and i am afraid pls mods do something", you're only making it funnier for them. Or, making their penis get harder. Same thing.

So it's best to just let nature take it's course.

Yeah, I understood that.

yeah but I'm more interested in this exercise in grammar than in what you meant.

also... did you just say in the previous post that you are a female with a penis?

Every damn one of these comments is in the guy's Inbox, including this one. Would you fine folks PLEASE just truly ignore the guy? I may advocate laming replies again if we can't do better than this.

I don't care if this is in his inbox, really.

That didn't work, though. He posted just as much then as he did before, as he does now. That's my point. Maybe it's time to just let it go entirely .

Actually, Onstad's got his engineers working on it, so hopefully the point will be moot sooner than later.

Either this is a joke or you are the wishiest of wishful thinkers.

looks like a scrunchie. and no kicking.

Okay . . I'm sorry.
But she likes being kicked! I swear!
For a 19 year old male I do kiss cats a lot more than I should, though.

Also, alreadyinuse, I don't think I like you. Perhaps you should either get a life or lose this one, because it just ain't working out for us.

Thanks.

Comment left by glum ignored.

As good of a burn as that was, the standard protocol is to ignore him in all his incarnations. I understand the alternative is tempting, so if you really feel like you must, go ahead and get it all out of your system now, but we'd all appreciate it if you not encourage him in the future.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't think that he would respond back, but he is that kind of troll. I won't feed him anymore. I'll just ignore on all his various incarnations.
But NOW do you guys believe that I'm not AIU in disguise?

Did until that last sentence.

ok, so if you're not aiu, then who are you? Your user name is not much of a name. No offense, it's just a jumble of letters. That's like Prince wanting to be called by a symbol which has no pronounciation in any language. Sje46 is also not pronouncable. Your avitar is also pretty jumbled. achilleselbow, for example, has an avitar that is of a dude. It evokes some kind of idea about the dude, sort of like a name evokes ideas about a person, or at least, ideas can be attached to a name as you get to know the person. Can ideas be attached to sje46? It's hard to say. It's certainly more difficult. Your avitar is kinda.. almost as random as snow on a TV. It doesn't have a face, it doesn't really express much in the way of ideas, except maybe the idea of being way far out there. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (there is something wrong with that)

His avatar has an origin within the comments of the last strip.

shoot man then what sort of image am i putting out there...

Pinesol is AIU. I'm calling it now.

... or his protege. Either way. Although he is infinitely more tolerable.

Quote:
That's like Prince wanting to be called by a symbol which has no pronounciation in any language.

Much as it makes me cringe, I have to defend Prince here.

His given name is Prince Rogers Nelson. Warner Brothers trademarked "Prince" and used it without Nelson's permission. He change his name to an unpronounceable symbol as a part of his legal battle with Warner Brothers.

As soon as he won the legal battle, he went back to calling himself "Prince."

So, as much as I think his music is 98% trite crap, I sympathize with his decision to refer to himself as Love Symbol #2 for a few years.

If I hold him in so much contempt, why do I know all this stuff about him? I tutored a kid for three years whose favorite artist was Prince, and I was inundated with information about him. The 2% of Prince's music that I don't think is worthless crap is Kama Sutra , an album that was never commercially released.

prince is The Man. virtually all his work is gold.

Quote:
98% trite crap


I hate you.

Quote:
I hate you.

That's OK.

Yeah, they said he had to pay to use his own name, and he said "fuck you", changed his name to something graphic that couldn't be pronounced, and respectfully requested everyone refer to him by the moniker "the artist formerly known as Prince." That way, he still had benefit of the name without paying one red cent to the jack-boots, and when they got that they couldn't milk him, they settled for a token, and he legally changed his name back.

I don't know why I know this, so I don't gotta give an explanation.

My name is sean, and I cam a college student in New Hampshire.
Sje46 is not just random. I just have no creativity. It is my assigned email address at college. The S and the J are my first two initials (Sean and Joseph), but I never figured out what the last initial and numbers meant. And my avatar is a combination of my last one (which was Roast Beef falling when he got shot like the third time, by Cupepper, right?) and an image cpnglxynchos made regarding my being a woman. My old avatar was the default one with the weird looking woman, and I made a comment about how I had to change it because people thought I was a woman. Then cpn photoshopped the comic of Nice Pete tallying how womanly Lyle was being. When I tried to make that my new avatar, it didn't show well, so cpn made me this one. Thanks, cpnglyxynchos.

So . . .yeah.

*writes in a notepad* Uh huh, and your social security number?

002-79-6321

Why do you ask?

oh man guy you better hope you have LifeLock or else it's gonna be on

Or some guy better have it. That isn't mine, although the first few digits are the same.

Argh! Will everyone stop accusing each other? This is what he wants. And let's say for argument's sake that either pinesol or sje46 WERE aiu (which, as a leading expert on trollology and the first to correctly identify his first alias of "glyc" I can say with 95% certainty that they're not). So what? If he were actually hiding behind a new name and acting like a more or less normal person (which I still believe he is fundamentally incapable of doing) and not directly identifying himself by posting stupid images or blocks of nonsense or being deliberately offensive, then what be the harm in letting him carry on in such a way? It's not like he's gonna gain your trust and get your credit card number or something.

I agree. You should write a book on trollology.

Plus I doubt that even AIU would waste his time setting up two accounts, getting in figts with himself just to make you believe sje is not him and then say "Hahaha! It is I, AUI! [and then a bunch of nonsense]. I mean, he has a lot of accounts, but that seems to be going a bit far.

Although I do admit I should stop posting dumb stuff like Patti, Doug and Skeeter performing a Wobbly H. I did that just to show you something dumb someone did regarding treating cartoon characters in odd ways (because of someone's avatar with Doug Funnie being crusified), but I really didn't make that clear. But the lame/chubby ratio is equal now.

I will figure you out, acheworld!

okay okay I'm aiu I can be aiu do you want me to put on the wig and cheap purple pumps too... No.. that will not do. If I'm gonna be aiu I'll have to get out the whole chicken man mascot suit.

In these various suspicions of various people being aiu, I'm noticing that apparently aiu is different things to different people.

I myself never put the guy on ignore except for when he spams tons of images and I can't read the forum anymore. There's seldom anything of interest or comedic value in any of his posts, Maybe there was some shock value at first but by now it's formulaic and if you've read one you've read them all. But sometimes the ruckus of a reaction that is generated is pretty funny. Like right now for instance. And here I am contributing to it despite myself.

But yeah, maybe I should start ignoring the guy on the theory that you can't un-see what you've seen, and I don't need all that endless crap seeping into my subconscious in any way shape or form. if guitar hero is convinced I'm aiu then maybe it's already too late, maybe it is influencing my writing style?

What I do know for a fact is that with gladi8orex's writing style it's already way too late. I am to the point now where I can read what glad has written and pretty much understand it automatically as if it was normal English. He is reprogramming my neural language circuits or possibly even deeper parts of my brain for what purpose I do not know. One day glad will type the magic activation sequence "atkca! atkca!" and we'll all rise from our computers to do his bidding per the pre-programmed instructions that have been encoded into his seemingly harmless daily missives.


Goody autrepoupee is a troll!

Oh hee hee!

I hope you're happy catgrl, now I've got to curse Assetbar with my ghoulish devilry.

I thought that was Liebot, dressed up as Culpepper.

Oh, man, your right!
Oops.

nice to meet you Sean Joseph. Wow that's a long story about how you got your avitar you are going to get tired of telling it I would just lie and say it was one of the default avitars. HEll maybe it should be for that matter

psst... I didn't know there was another person in New Hampshire that knew what Achewood was!!

< = [ = have a nice day.

Oh my god! What town are you from?
(chester, derry)

That is scary, as I currently live in Derry. You are a youngen to me, however. And this is creepy, so I will pretend that it never happened.

I still don't understand how this works out statistically. Hedonismbot and Tekende live like next door to each other somewhere in Oklahoma, you guys live in the same town in New Hampshire, yet I am apparently the only one here from the largest city in the country. Not that I need people to hang out with, mind you, I just find it rather odd.

Hey guys, achilleselbow is lonely and needs people to hang out with!

Did Hedonismbot and Tekende know each other before Assetbar, or were they like "My town in Oklahoma is really pathetic." "Dude, my town is too! What town do you live in?" "East Sodomyville"
"Dude, I live there too! Do you live on Rape Street?"
"Dude! I live on Rape street in a purple house!"
"Dude, I live on Rape Street too, right next to a purple house! You guys are so white trash!"
"Dude, you guys defecate on your lawn!"
"Dude, what a crazy coincidence!"
(details may vary (and I'm sure that they aren't public defecators and white trash. I made that up to be funny.).

Or were they like "Hey, we're friends. Let's go on Assetbar a lot."
"Okay."
(I hope it's the former.)

I have never met hedonismbot, or at least, not knowingly. He does live in the suburb-city to which I am about to move, though (I think). That has nothing to do with why I am moving there.

Hellofyellin

Haha. All right.

(Go Astros!)

Ah, nevermind. I checked your Myspace (okay, a little creepy, but I just had to check if I recognize you (I don't)) and you graduated from Londonderry. SO you are our rivals. BUt I don't care 'cause I don't have school spirit.
I'm sure we know some of the same people though.

So yeah. Weird.

Holy crap! An Astros fan!

Chubby for you, good sir.

I will take that chubby and not tell you that I'm talking about the Pinkerton Academy Astos, not Houston. (The first American in space went to my high school).

Thank you, sir.

I will name drop on the interwebs because I think that you could possibly know my good friend Bryan Donovan. If you do not, we will move on and pretend that this was all a dream.

No, no I do not . . . The only people I know from Londonderry are 10 years younger than you, mostly. Except my RA Steve Zimmerman, or his girlfriend Katie Ramsey?

You mean the girlfriend that I...

...Boned?

Oh, snap!

I'll tell Steve right now. He'll be destroyed .

For you see, Lyle was created with the APPEARANCE of age, which shatters the naturalists' objections that his mustache is too old-school to fit the textualist's "Young Lyle" theory.

hey man, god can make old rocks and god can make new rocks.

lyle totally walked away from that j...something is wrong!

All is well: he still held on to his precious brown liquor, which is his true love.

I am excited to hear more creation myths for the characters. Especially the asshole/crazy ones. A full-featured Nice Pete would be nice, but he's already had some backstory. More than anything I'd like to see some spinynorman creation myth.

yeah, yeah, procreation with some young myth. got it.

I doubt so much that creation myths become a thing but I would love to see Phillippe's.

"And on the fifth day did the Lord declare 'Hi!' and lo Philippe did reply 'Yes!'"

And God said "You're a special boy!"
And lo did Philippe reply "Applesauce!"
And lo did the Lord say "Bad Philippe! Applesauce is a naughty word!"
And Philippe started crying.

Initially I figured he was lying, but kiilerlimpet's comment "Omphalos" made me think that that was the title of the strip. Plus, I am not a suscriber, and I figure that suscribers have extra strips that I can't see. And I find it rude to call people liars if you aren't sure that they are lying and .. .

Mr. Fail Over-Explaaaaiiiner

I was brought on this Earth to entertain. God looked upon the Earth, decided that the people were glum, and decided they needed Someone people can point and laugh at.

That is the sje46 creation myth.

I was found by an employee of the State on a fragrant Tuesday afternoon, the stench of Janus' Creek still dripping from my fresh-retched mane. There was not any animal nearby, nor any Evidence of my origin except for the concealed remains of a campfire, smouldering itself gently to sleep. Oh how it burned; so cautious it was, the flames licking low as if they were afraid to let the Creek see them consume.

I found in the ranger's slacks a good, leather-bound sturdy wallet which held my new name, a name by which his Children did not recognize me. It was a good wallet, and brown.

I made the one into a shirt for the other and then was on my way.

I am honored to be the first to chubby this.

The premium subscriber flow suggest more creation myths. Onstad mentioned that Todd's took forever.

Lyle is suddenly over wearing his specs.

BRAVO Onstad, bravo. Welcome back

Ketchup that bitch.

God then materialized a dime bag of green, sticky weed. He slapped Lyle on the back of the head and said, "Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, whatever... smoke up, Lemmy!"

Soon, three kings appeared from the East, bearing Zig Zags, a water bong, and an awesome one-hitter that would look like just a regular reed pipe to passing Roman soldiers.

It's a Fuck you, God! Friday.

So...Lyle's a tiger?
Also Todd's creation story is better.

Lyle is like Hobbes if Hobbes was an alcoholic and like the worst person ever.

In Cornelius' day, the herb was good enough to induce madness. All whites showing all around the iris, hella Canlon Nancarrow ragtime going on, and the odd inadvertent homicide. Shit just makes me sleepy now.

Holy Christ, someone is referencing Conlon Nancarrow in an Achewood comments thread.

'Bout time the original Achewood icons had some character development. Whether Lyle's 'Year One' story has any truth in it is another matter... Cornelius going on about seeing Duke Ellington in a magazine? he probably jammed with him for real!

First calligraphy, THEN word processing! God, that makes so much more sense than what I've been doing.

better nip that shit in the bud, mister.

i actually had a beer with lemmy kilmister once.. THE nicest man in rock and roll. seriously.

What happened to Lyle's glasses?

Lyle doesn't have his glasses because of a problem.

Dude what kind of pimped-out word processor is Lyle using that auto-corrects all his atrocious spelling mistakes? Maybe Beef whipped one up for him, straight custom job.

Would have to be.

Reefer madness, doily-style.

*excellent*

This is basically the same way that Jesus got the idea to write the bible.

Well, except he was too lazy too and made Matt and Mark and Luke and John write down everything he dictated.

I think John of Patmos was on DMT when he wrote Revelation, by the way.

Lyle skritches MAD CALLIGRAPHY.

I would get high with Cornelius in a heartbeat. He'd fucking start floating with flowesr and shit all around him passing down insane words of knowledge...yeah.

Lyle understands the importance of quantifying your flames.

Good creation myths have specific numbers, man.

I will not live to give you a chubby on this page, but my predecessor will avenge my prior friendliness.

woah... fuzz ungtabulous avery? is butterfly?

Have you ever seen a huge ass multicoloured butterfly in person, up close? They are ard to atch.

it's a wonderful experience. so much so that it is a pitty that there' isn't a' butterfly sort of exhibit. avarium? Where there is a big cage, and you walk in it with special double doors so none of the birds get out by accident. you know. they have one in Tucson. At the museum. The.. Saguaro? (Sp?) cactus? redbox?

and well instead of bird, butterfly. Lik that one time on the price is right. What was that gam show. Note the price is wright brothers. The other one. Where you step into the glass cage, and they turn on the fans, and all the butterflys splash around, and you stuff as much as you can into your gaping mouth, and when the bell goes ding, the fans turn off, and you get to keep all the ones you swallowed. And fives and fiftys and so on.

this is one of those <

Aiu? Or an an attempt at Spinynorman-esque non-contextual anecdotage?

You be the judge.

(Falseprophet.)

Are you saying you're writing in a style I've used? Or are you alleging that I'm pinesol?

You be the judge. Just answer the fucking question.

For those caught unaware, we are in hour four of the 'ask Onstad' portion of the premium updates.

I do not like "ism"
It seems like two syllables
Well, at least to me.

But it is one.

not that I condone fascism. or any other kind of ism. isms in my opinion are not good. a person should not believe in an ism. he should believe in himself. i quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, i just believe in me." hm. good point there. after all, he was the walrus. i could be the walrus and i'd still have to bum rides off people.

But Paul was the walrus!

And what about bagism?

...jism?

baginas?

[url= Bagism ]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagism[/url]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagism
I knew that was going to happen.

so do you just add 'ism' to the 'bag' word or do you pronounce it like 'badge-ism'?

Lennon pronounces it bag-ism, haha.

Lemmy as a baby is one of the most awesome and terrifying images my mind can produce. All facial hair on a baby and such.

Baby Lemmy was actually a mole.
The rest just sort of grew around him.

Heh, classic Lyle.

a five because i was sick of looking at achewood every day only to be greeted by nice pete writing about dog-shooting etiquette.

Lyle can spell now.

either that or we are seeing what Lyle thinks he's writing, translated into English.

he used to do so as well.

but maybe you knew that already.

when did Lyle stop wearing glasses?

WIMMEN, RITE? WIMMEN...

" women, right? women...

Have any of you seen "Gossip Girl"? What is that show about? Please explain to me. I have not seen it and am curious about it. I hope its not more of the same, "Lifetime" bullshit like "Gays" Anatomy, you know? Such bullshit. Women programming has gone downhill since Gilmore Girls went of the air. Can I get an Amen?

Also, Hannah Montana? Hailey is nasal? I need answers people! I need to know these things! Please tell me!"

Man, I sure hope I got close on that. It's an honor to be the first translation.

NOOOOOOOO! Not of the air! OFF!

"hannand montan? hailie is nassaly? "

sounds like: hailie is an ass uh ly

is this a play on the 10 different names that Miley Cyrus has?

Miley Ray Cyrus born Destiny Hope Cyrus better known by her stage name Miley Cyrus plays Miles Ray Stewart, a fictional character in the pseudo-eponymous tv show Hannah Montana whose stage name is Hannah Montana.

It's like those Russian egg dolls.
Also, Hannah Montana creeps me the fuck out.
I keep waiting for her to tell all the little girls to drink Kool-Aid with her.
The FBI no longer accepts my calls.

"Also, Hannah Montana? Hailie Selassie? I need answers people; I need to know these things. Please tell me."

I think gladi8orrex belives that Hannah Montana is the new Rastafarian messiah.

And that quality women's programming is in decline.

She's as popular and undeserving of the title as Hailie Selassie was.

I have, thus far, not even heard so much as a snippet of her music, or a clip of her show. I do not understand why people are treating her as a media behemoth. I do not go out of my way to ignore her or anything.

I'm pretty sure you're not the target demographic.

It is not the target demographic that keeps whining about it. I can only assume the target demographic is happy with the product.

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. Despite her media behemothitude, I've never seen a minute of her show or heard a lick of her music. People whine because whining is fun as compared to ignoring.

Let me tell ya. That's quality cinema she's got.

I think that the only reason anyone who's not a preteen girl cares about her anymore is because they've got a mental "Olsen Twin" countdown going - slowly ticking off the minutes until she'll be able to pose in Playboy in a vain attempt to recapture the glory of her youth.

Well... she did just do those topless photos in Vanity Fair. I remember there was a big to-do about it. (Before anyone gets too excited, there was a strategically draped sheet.)

The first time my brain had to open up a Hannah Montana file was when some state congresspeople wanted to open up an inquiry into ticket scalping because her concerts were selling out in five minutes and the tickets were going for six-hundo on-line.

Nice job, elected officials. By all means, let's forget passing a budget and call a special session of the legislature because your tweens can't deal with a little disappointment.


It is too late. I became too excited somewhere around "do".

Hey everyone! achilleselbow just came in his pants!

I bore of haiku.

Seen as I just bought a '68 Chevy Nova (no power steering, no power brakes, straight six) I will accept your accolades of badassness. As one of my coworkers said after he attempted to drive the vehicle, "It takes some practice. It takes some getting used to. I'm gonna go to the gym, then maybe see about driving that thing"

When I first read this, I thought that the truck had exploded one thousand times. Which might've been even better.

rather figure that the truck explodes for all eternity...either just one really slow-splosion or constant and multiple explosions like something out of Die Hard.

...and now i gotta watch that movie. ha. 'Argyle'.

Not directly related to this strip, but for lack of a "general announcements and discussion" forum I'll post it here:

I made a Greasemonkey script for Firefox that addresses one of my favorite Assetbar annoyances: how to figure out what post a comment is in reply to, when the original post and the response are separated by many intermediate comments.

This was my first attempt to do anything with Greasemonkey, so it's not terribly sophisticated, but here it is if anybody else wants to try using it.

That is rad! Could you also possibly add a thing that makes it easier to skip to unread comments? Like perhaps an easy-to-search-for bit of text that appears next to the timestamp?

One thing assetbar needs is a chronological inbox. And a PM system would be very nice as well. And a moderator. Seriously. Not to limit our speech or anything, but just to ban certain people who are really bad.

I like the system.
Individual comments,
marked on their merit.

I'd like to have that -
Chronological inbox,
also what I've seen.

I should clarify.
I'd like the inbox to show
what comments I've read.

All fine suggestions
(Your commitment to haiku
Is admirable)

i'd rather it show the ones i haven't...so that i can read them.

And a racecar and a firetruck and a pony.

And true love!

And infinite wishes!

And a hard-boiled egg.

That's all I need! The hard-boiled egg, infinite wishes, true love, the fire truck, the racecar, the pony, the Greasemonkey script, the axe, the chair, the remote control, the paddleball game, and the ashtray. And that's all I need.

I need this!


Ohhh, I'm picking out a thermos for you
Not an ordinary thermos for you


With vinyl, and stripes, and a cup built right in!

A thermos brand thermos, it brings back so many memories, (and keeps hot drinks hot, and cold drinks cold). All those Steve Martin memories, hot chicken soup at lunch times in winter, the dildo joke, and going to the footy with my dad.

Memories
Midnight - not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her
Memory
She is smiling alone.

World Peace? Can we just, ya know , take care of that?

But war is awesome . Or at least the Clone Wars were.

I won't lame this, but in regards to the Clone Wars, making your CG characters intentionally hideous for ease of us in transferring them to action figures and television show is far too cynical for me. I was willing to stand behind his prequels as poor decisions, but this goes a little far.

*ease of use.

I hope a lot of people share that opinion, because I was practically rubbing my eyes (with squeaking sound effects no less) and blinking rapidly in a comic fashion when I saw the trailer for Clone Wars.

It looked like a Pizza Hut commercial from 1997. I mean really, absolutely complete shit. When is actual animation going to come back in style, anyway?

it makes you think george lucas has gone senile to watch that thing

i mean, he had to sign off on it

In interesting news most of the time he was shooting in Australia he was completely out of his brain on Coke. Spent some decent time at a few strip clubs. Like, all night then would drool in a director's chair the next day.

I know that's what I would do if I were a multi-millionaire American institution, but I am of low character.

Higher mind than I, davey-boy, your bbcode worked.

Actually I haven't seen that movie and I forgot it was coming out. I was referring to the battle in Attack of the Clones.

I'm not a big fan of that animation either.

I am impressed by your greasemonkey extension and would like to subscribe to your RSS feed.



I read it, I installed it, and nothing has changed, though I've reloaded multiple times. Are there... do you know reasons why it isn't working for me? Or does the universe just not want me to understand who is replying to whom?

What version of Firefox do you have? I am running 3.0 (it is working for me).

Did you make certain to download Greasemonkey first?

Are you reading the page in IE tab or Firefox tab? (Or maybe you don't have the IE tab add-on. Basically, make sure there is a Firefox logo in the lower right corner of the window, and not the Internet Explorer logo).

I never use IE in any context, if I can help it. I'm a big nerd, so of course I have Firefox 3. I even reinstalled greasemonkey, in case I had an old version that didn't support 3.0. Still, nothing!

hmm try installing Linux that usually helps for a lot of things Ubuntu is a good distro I hear.

Fool, no!

Hey, I recognise that font Lyle uses for the title; it's Killigrew, a personal fave.


You can't kill a grue.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but there's a new Perry Bible Fellowship, which edgy, dark and unfunny.

It's been there since July 22nd. But thanks anyway.

Are you saying that the strip or the comic is unfunny?

I guess I don't check it much anymore.

PBF used to be a must-read for me as it produced (this strip and spamusements aside) some of the funniest web comics out there, but the last couple of strips before he "retired" and this "new" one lead me to believe his heart is not in it anymore

Oh, right. Well, that's the reason he retired.

I R VERDI DISSEPAINTED WIT U ALLS. GOD IS MAK ME OS AMBLY AT U I DUN EVEN NO.

i ass uw al and simply cushions 2 cimp cushieons an u cnut answar me them but indseed us al tells me and fumbly coment abot it lik i dun car i wan answers 2 ma wsimply fukin cuestans. assholes, god

i canut tink i is sry 4 outbarst is cjus... is jus i dun ebben no i con has sit don an tink abot tings i mena is lik u dun cars

I are very dissapointed with you all. God, it's making me so angry at you, I don't even know.

I ask you all two simple questions and you can't answer me them, but instead you all tell me and dumbly comment about it like I don't care. I want answers to my simple fucking questions. Assholes, God!

I can't think, I'm sorry for the outburst, it's just... it's just I don't even know, I can't. I have to sit down and think about things. I mean, it's like you don't care.

what were the questions again, Glad? It sounded like you were asking what the meaning of life is, is what it sounded like to me, and well, if I knew that, you know, that would be pretty cool.

I . . .I care about you. I didn't answer because I didn't know the answers myself. I have never seen gossip girls, but I'm not entirely sure I want to. Although I must admit that Gilmore Girls is a top-quality show. Superb dialog.

Hannah Montana, I do not know too much about. I tend to stay away from the Disney Channel whenever I can.

If you . .if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you. Remember that, bud.

Lyle got a mouth for christmas. However, he pawned it for calligraphy lessons.

Completely off topic, this is the day I caught up to curr.

I discovered Achewood quite by mistake when a google search on "nibble" took me away from my intended computer term to an odd quirky story of a five year old otter and a chewed upon chapstick. I read a few strips, and then started at the beginning. It has been a fun journey, and I can hardly wait to see what cooks up next!

"So, what now?"

I'm going to Disneyland!

No, really, I am.

Your avatar looks like a character from Allo Allo doing an impression of Pogo.

A chubby for nailing it.

It is Hans, who isn't very commited to being a German. When all the "Heil Hitler's" fly, he slips in at the end with just "'tler" (usually comes off sounding like "gluck"). He ends up spending the rest of the war in England when his character is written out of the series.

I liked this quixotic Pogo-ish expression quite well, and in a fit of dislike for the megaphone default avatar that assetbar gave me, grabed this pic instead.

Ultimately not very well thought out, since my username is a rough translation of Puss-in-boots, but then again, they both got boots in common. Maybe it accidentally works better than I thought?

Woohoo, merci pour la chubbet. I actually thought it was the camp German officer.

De riens! C'est tout-a-fait normal.

So, is that "camp" as in "encampment", or more like a style of humor that paints with broad strokes and is so bad it's good?

I am going to Israel in four days. "Hell yeah, nachon!" is now officially my vacation catchphrase.

AWESOME.

That was camp as in 'camp as a row of pink tents'. Specifically, Lieutenant Hubert Gruber (Wikipedia, danke schoen).

Yeah, Gruber was the gay officer that "fancied" Rene and was ever so proud of his little tank. He was in the series from the first to last episode. In the end he married Helga, and they had ten kids together. Guy Siner played him, and may be seen in the first "Pirates of the Carribean" movie as the harbormaster who welcomes Capt'n Sparrow and accepts his bribe.

Hans Geering was more of an impertinent school boy skating through the war with minimal effort. His tent would have been the Chateau headquarters of the occupying force, and believe it, he was much more interested in Yvette, Maria, Helga and profiteering then he was in Rene. He was only in about a third of the series, and was played by Sam Kelly. I've honestly never seen any of his other roles, but someone told me he played Hitler once.

Anyway, I talk too much....

ACE OF SPADES

Best Lyle strip.

amazing

Best strip of August in retrospect.
Judas and God as Cholos = awesome.

Yes.

Lyle's calligraphy handiness is always a surprise and almost always put to good use.
