I thought the beauty of this e-mail was that it totally highlighted Ray as the kind of character who could just as easily be totally serious about laying down some overheard capital to start up Mombasa Munchies Christian Burrito Eatery (patent pending).
Which is to say, I kind of agree...?

heh, yeah. it makes me reconsider everytime I've spoken aloud to my own e-mail typings. "This is a good sentence." "I am very modest."

I was unaware of it at the time but once whilst writing in an exam I said aloud "That's a damn fine place to put the comma. I am so good at commas.". I only found out after the exam when the people sitting either side of me both told me about.
I was only saved from expulsion by England's stupid teach to student ration which meant the exam hall was the size of a hanger and monitored by three people. One of whom was chain smoking outside for half the time.

My first Achewood! I think I found it by poking around on the links on Jeff Rowland's Overcompensating. I think I read the whole archives at work over the next two or three days.

I think I came here via Overcompensating as well.
Then again, I'd never heard of Penny Arcade until i picked up a reference via XKCD.
This wasn't my first Achewood strip, but I'd read just enough to know that Ray has scads of cash, is extremely optimistic and will back any half-formed business plan.
Thus, I wasn't sure if Ray in this strip was genuinely going into business with Leon, really setting up accounts in Mombassa and all.
It becomes clear very quickly of course, but at the time I was concerned that ray would get 419'd

I really like the "Of course." which seems to have no relation to the sentence preceding or following it.

If you desire burritos California is indeed the ideal. Because seriously, good luck getting a proper greasy, chunky, foil- or wax-paper-wrapped portable 1-2 pound burrito anywhere east of Arizona.

I must disagree, good otterpops. I live in the Denver area (right off of East Colfax, specifically) and within a mile there are at least ninety-eight places where I may find the same thing. The only problem here, is the pervasiveness of the heresy that is the "smothered burrito".

This maneuver Ray is pulling is technically called a "Reverse Ethiopian". He seems to have a pretty good handle on it, which is surprising given his general lack of computer savvy. Like remember the mountain and the motorcycle?

So you got it first of those who did not get it immediately?
This could quite possibly be a verse of "gravity train"
