so many universal themes happening in this one.

Damn. I lose five yards.

So close, too. You just couldn't hold out for the last bracket, and hit shift under the intense pressure.

premature closebracketation?

lemme try ... I not tried in a while.
Probly due for some fail.

your boldness has paid off.

And you're gettin your slant on.

LN plays the flugelhorn.

Little Nephew looks so innocent in panel 3.

Thats when Ray should have smacked LN.

Alt text: "Tomorrow is the man-to-man talk."

Look, your male role model / caregiver lounges around all day half-drunk, pimped-out and talking about sex all the time. You're bound to get some donked ideas . . . umm, gee, wait . . . gotta go, I need to fix some things with my stepson. Ooops.

We all want to get our Bone on from time to time.

I haven't gotten my bone on in a long time. I am hoping to rectify this tonight. I'll let you know how it goes, if I remember.

Okay, so when I posted this I totally expected that I would be disappointed last night, as far as boning goes. I explain this because I do not want to seem like I am bragging.

But guys. I totally got my bone on last night. I was like, bone...bone...bone...

Nice work w/ boning.

As long as it wasn't my brother in law that you... Boned?

I'm giving you a chubby because apparently it's no more than you deserve.

Good job Tekende!

Now try again.

I have gotten my bone on at least five times since that post.

Good job Tekende!

Now try again.

Repeat ad-nauseum.

The beginning of the end of innocence for LN.

It may have been spurred on by Teodor's prodigious dirty talking at his birthday party

Little Nephew, like many young children, plays a musical instrument. And like many absent caregivers, Ray does not know what it it.

One character is shocked by the idea of youths getting it on and slamming pelvises, while somewhere in the house a five year old becomes a man.

Panel One:

Little Nephew spots a bearded man shuffling around inside a cardboard box sniggering quietly.

chubbied for mgs reference

I love Ray's pimp chalice . . . and the probability that sometime between panel 3 and panel 4, the chalice was dropped in shock.

That is not a chalice, it is a margarita glass. There is nothing classy about that unless you think that middle-aged paralegals getting ripped at Chi-Chis on $7 frozen "mango" drinks is especially pimp.

I normally think of it as a margarita glass, as well, but I've often seen people drink champagne out of similar glasses (obviously, it's not the traditional flute), even at fancy parties.

Yes, the champagne goblet also exists and is rumored to be based on a lady's breast. Specifically a famous lady whom I'm too lazy to look up right now.

The flute, I am told, does a better job of concentrating the bubbles and is thus the better vessel to use, but I have no practical experience in these matters.

A chalice would have taller, straight sides. A goblet would have rounded sides and more of a bulbous shape. A champagne goblet would be a bit taller and rounded more towards the bottom. That is a margarita glass. Or, on second inspection, it maybe could be a champagne goblet but it isn't drawn precisely enough to distinguish. I shall saw that given Ray I think that is the proper call to make.

Bone is capitalized because it is an important activity.

Is this the first instance of a character with an opened mouth?

Man we ain't seen Little Nephew in a grip. Where is he be?

If LN wants to get his bone on, like Ray gets his bone on... Then LN will not be getting his bone on.

Little Nephew. Oh, why couldn't have you stayed a one shot character and not a little hip hop pissant.

Worst uncle or best uncle?
