Have you actually played one of those airlines? They have incredible, fat, textured, beefy necks, and ridiculously rich, mid-rangey, quiet, low output humbuckers that combine to make Airline/Supro/et als sound better than almost any of the vintage guitars from that era. The bridges were pretty bad, the gears mediocre, but the guitars are among the best sounding of the pre-good-hardware era. Now, Rickenbackers are are some shitty, poorly intonated, thin-ass, too-treble-ey guitars. Thank you. It is now 4:39 in the afternoon, and I'm about to go to work. It has been one of those days

This all reminds me of the aftermath of the aforementioned use of "hella" on South Park that caused a lot of people not from the Western US to believe that the word had been made up by Parker and Stone. Oddly enough I had a similar experience, not with "hella," but with "queef."

my friends got me a signed copy of this strip for my 21st due to my tendency to get wasted, spew out a couple of ray's lines and then play some seriously sloppy white stripes on guitar. this strip would have to be at least top 5. But, as you all know, it is impossible to narrow down that much.

Uh...stole it from somewhere on Myspace, I think. It was a page devoted to all things horror with specific reference to Evil Dead, and I pilfered it with reckless abandon. You, too, may take it, for this is what the internet is all about, baby. I don't know the original, nor what it was called, so I guess you can't get the high quality version :( Unless I figure out Photobucket, which I can't be bothered doing right now. Sorry, friend. It's just the way it is.
