How is this strip not a five
Best concept of a guitar pedal ever, combined with Ray's ever-present love of buying things he has no hope of understanding

SUNNUVAWHORE.
BBCODE CAN SUCK A GIANT DICK

BBCode can suck my dick .

Man, BBCode can do anything.

Could BBCode rip a dude's face off with his bare hands?

I've seen it kill a man, whilst keeping him alive, so he'd live through it.

Remember that next time you're chuggin' your member with BBCode, remember to treat it right.

I...
It...
OH SHI-

I heard BBCode doesn't listen to music!

Can you fathom how dumb this is?
I can.
I'm doing it right now.

Where was the pole?

Did I place?

In a surprise twist, you were actually voted most interesting poster not only on assetbar, but on the entire internet. Don't let it go to your head.

I'll try.

But you guys have to refer to me as the internet king, forthright.

I for one welcome our new internet overlord. Hail King Tragicone.

Collaborator.

the pole is in my pants

I've got a backup, I'm keeping it in your mom

Dammit, why do i have NO LAMES AT ALL?

You get a chubby for that fine comment sir. Fuck Linkin Park.

I think there'd be more of a market for an effects pedal that generates a five-pack-a-day smoker's voice. Especially for Blues.

It reminds me more of when a little kid has a total freakout, like if they're at chuck-e-cheese's and they've been crying and screaming so much that they have snot all over their face. Just picture such a kid going "all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you" it's the same voice.

The answer to your question is "Not everyone agrees with your opinion of this strip."

OH BABY I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY OH HONEY NOW MONEY DON'T COME LOOKING FOR YOU has been one of my away messages on AIM ever since 2/13/2004.

Come on now, man has effects pedals designed by NASA and his amp is a meager 60 watts?

Man, that's just Ray's practice amp.

If it's a tube amp, 60 watts is MORE than enough power.

BABY SOMETIMES I AM SAD becomes OH BABY THE NIGHTS ARE LONG WITHOUT YOU

NIGHT'S TOO QUIET
STRETCHED OUT ALONE
I NEED THE WHIP OF THUNDER, AND THE WIND'S DARK MOAN!

Thanks to this strip my friends think I am insane when i will randomly sing "OH BABY I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY" then pause and "accompany" myself with the reply.

I guess I am secretly hoping that one of them will read this and one day do the second part after I do the first.

A true friend will do this.

A true friend will give you a money.

I secretly hope that one day I'll be singing that quietly to myself, when out of nowhere a strange person will sing the reply. That's how we'll know we're soulmates or something.

Dude hate to break it to you but it's just gonna be me.

you wouldnt be the worst person to have as a soul mate.

I said this the other night at a party whilst strumming a bluesy riff and my brother backed me up out of nowhere. we're thinking of recording it, adding our own lyrics of course, I'll keep you guys posted.

I wonder if they call these "Johnson pedals"

The funny thing is: while reading this strip, I am listening to a Robert Johnson album (because of Achewood, too, yes) and it fits SO PERFECT

You too?

So THIS is how Ringo has been singing "With a Little Help From My Friends"...

Huge slam on Ringo Starr from out of nowhere.

PFSC high five Tekende.

Now on the side.

Now down low.

stay in school, children, what else are you gonna do

You suppose Ray's Rickenbacker has an inbuilt vodka-flask for those needy moments while rockin out?

... He doesn't take me as the sort to have it doublin as a fully-automatic, Haruko-style.

Different kind of Ric.

Man, John Lennon must have been a lot smaller than the pictures show him to be. No wonder he was such a Jealous Guy.

...because the guitar is the correct size for the cat, and not John Lennon unless John Lennon was a tiny man.

I think I'm the only one confused here, but are we sure the thing's actually responding to Ray? Are we sure it's not translating what he said, something anyone with a passing knowledge of the Blues could come up with, into something a man who has been Steeped in the stuff would truly say?

Either way, this rocks.

i agree, it's turning ray's line into something else, not following up on it, which wouldn't make any since. everyone saying otherwise is a fool

any sense. wow

except that it says that it accompanies Delta bluesmen
