This is what it's like on the other side of existence.You kinda want some fourthmeal and you'd like to go to sleep coz you gotta get up early tomorrow. If you're on Ambien, you may be seeing double of things and rocking back and forth constantly. But that probably has nothing to do with the New World outside of me. We must forget our shame and our sorrow, our incontinent grandmothers and the squirrels we hit with our cars that didn't quite die immediately, all the things that held us back. Now, now we must go forth. There is a whole Hardon universe out there, and we haven't even begun to lightly stroke its balls.

Dear usversusthem,
The number of chuppies I would like to give you right now is about 17. Instead I'm going to give you one, so that I can save some for other people later in the day. If those other people don't work it today, the chubbus will go straight back to you.
This do I swear by the bright and unpleasant blood that runs in and occasionally out of my veins.

Unless it is a thing of South Korea to have hobo pack bonfires, I'm pretty sure it's the same one. It's on Shinan beach and it is indeed this weekend. My friend is in Gwangju. So I guess the upshot of all this is that I am encouraging you to approach her at this bonfire and let her know that I am indirectly stalking her via Facebook and a messageboard about cartoon cats. Yes, this seems to be the inevitable direction this exchange is headed in.

Dell really likes Christmas and screams when his mother tells him it is summer and christmas is six months away. The final scence in the little vignette featuring Crispin is him carefully placing a cockroach down his y-fronts while standing bow-legged and gleefully shifting his weight from side to side, as Laura Dern's voice-over says "One day Aunt Ruth found Dell puting a cochroach on his anus".
P.S. there is a big knife in the scene but I think I remember it differently now. I think he puts the knife down before smashing his sandwiches and screaming at his mother.

I'm so happy that there are apparently so many Middle Americans here.
Just to throw it out there 'cause I'm feelin' nostalgic - I used to drive my mom to work everyday in Baxter, then I'd go watch the sun come up whilst smoking nasty Mexican brick weed on this old, abandoned trolley bridge there. It was definitely the good old days.

It's surprising how many people I know that are from former Soviet states. Mind you, this would mainly be due to having been a wrestler in Australia for many years, where the sport isn't very big and pretty much everyone in the Olympic team is a European expat, and I was the only one in my club who could only speak English. At least I knew when people weren't talking to me.

At the same time the proximity to other scientists makes it less funny in a way as well. Quite vexing.

I have to ask you, oh recumbent man: are you an engineer? It's for demographic reasons...literally every recumbent rider I know is an engineer. I don't know why that is, but it is.

I am. I'd guess the reason that the demographic skews so heavily towards engineers is that we have a high tolerance for looking dorky if we can also be *efficient*. And often we don't end up more efficient, but we think we are. So that's where it all falls apart. I really like my recumbent, though-I wouldn't commute 30 miles a day on a road bike.
And yes, irondave, climbing does suck on a recumbent, but it's hard for me to tell how much more it sucks than on a diamond frame road bike because I sucked when climbing on a road bike, as well. There are recumbent riders who swear that one can climb as well as a road bike on a 'bent, but I've never seen anyone demonstrate it, and the road bike-riding guy I somtimes ride in to work with smokes me up the Dumbarton bridge, which is a pretty mild climb. 'Course, he has a pretty nice road bike and I outweigh him by 60 lbs, so that'll do nicely as an excuse.
I wonder if this is now the longest recumbent bike-related post in the history of Assetbar. If so, I apologize.

Here's an old one (apologies if you've heard it before):
So, the pope was visiting New York City, and had a chauffer and limo pick him up at La Guardia. They had been driving into the city a short time, when the pontiff made an unusual request of his chauffer: He had always wanted to drive a big American car, like this limo. Would the chauffer mind letting him try it out? The chauffer's orders were to provide his holiness with whatever he desired, and so obliged.
Well, it was late at night, and the road was wide and clear, so the bishop of Rome really let it loose to see what the power of this car could do. It wasn't long before flashing lights and a siren brought this to an abrupt end.
After searching a bit, the Vicar of Christ found the mechanism to roll down the window, and asked the cop what he could do for him.
Officer O'Mally hesitated a second, and then said, "I wanted to ask his Holiness for a blessing, and to request he blesses our city by abiding its speed limit."
"A blessing upon you and your city, my son." And with that, he was off again.
O'Mally returned to his squad car looking sooo perplexed. His partner looked at him, and said, "No ticket? What happened? Who was it?"
O'Mally, rubbed his forehead a moment, and said, "I don't know who it was. But he had the pope for a chauffer!"

Re: $39 bottle of $6 wine
When a publican friend of mine was running a restaurant in his pub he had a fairly wide ranging wine list. There was a really nice bottle of Cabernet Merlot listed at $15 (Aussie dollars so cheapish at the time) it just wasn't moving so he raised the price to $21 and cleared his stock in a fortnight.

When I first read this I accidentally followed the arrow to the left after reading the first breast panel... it actually made sense to me for the first few paragraphs until teodor popped up. I struggled for a few more panels thinking teodor was a metaphorical stand in for the lady until the logic was too twisted and I reaslized I was in error.
However I don't think any of you can blame me for briefly thinking of teodor as a lady stand-in. I'm sure Molly does.

Dear APERSON ,
Our files indicate that you have expressed support for the Chubby Research Foundation. Therefore we would like to extend to you the opportunity to make a regular donation of one (1) chubby per calendar month to fund the Foundation's important work. On payment of your first chubby, you will receive a laminated membership card, a full-colour chubby fact-sheet, and, I don't know, some kind of keyfob or something. More importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped ensure the ongoing cataloguing and categorisation of these rare and beautiful phenomena.
Sincerely,
The Chubby Research Foundation
(A Registered Charity)
P.S. As an incentive to join, here is a sample from our latest newsletter:
Did You Know
You can search for "You gave this comment a chubby" to check how many you've handed out!
Until recently, Chubby Researchers believed that the chubby population had increased to 5 in every 200 comments. However, after a tour of Assetbar's most densely commented regions (including the 2100-comment "Kazenzakis Card Company"), it has been determined that chubbies are available at a rate of 5 chubbies for pages of 200 comments or less and 10 chubbies for pages of over 200 comments !

Not only have I found the excuse for my next ten failures, I'm left asking the questions: "What scientists?" "Why do a thing?" "Why Ray's dick?" "Did they replace it with something?" "Are they going to?"
The genius is that it even has the veneer of believabilty. Thank you Onstad. My ass did need laughing off.

Eh, very funny.
But seriously, a woman is an occasional pleasure, but a cigar is always a smoke. So why was I with her? She reminds me of you. In fact, she reminds me more of you than you do! Yeah, she got her looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon.
So I chased her for two years only to discover that her tastes were exactly like mine: we were both crazy about girls.
But you know what I always say: Women should be obscene and not heard. And anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.
I'm sorry if that offends, but I must confess, I was born at a very early age. And I've worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty. And when I die, make sure my agent gets one tenth of my ashes, as written in our contract.
By the way, a black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
So, if you quote me, quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.
Well I must be going. I have had a perfectly wonderful evening. This wasn't it. See ya' in the funnies.

Climb up your column, Nelson! Is it not worse
To shrink away defeat'd, shamed, accursed?
Your honour spared to dip the pike in needless blood
And thus you sail for harbour home upon a glory flood.

how is it mysogynistic? He didn't say if the baby to be taken away was a boy or girl. You overlook the fact that by toying with her necklace at ray she is basically inviting his spermatazoae (sp?) into her faloopian (sp?) tube (s?) and so I just don't see how that is mysogynistic. It's not okay for Ray to want to make the baby go away but for all you know she is thinking the exact same thing... "I forgot my dental dam but I'm gonna toy my neclace at Ray anyway because if I get a baby tonight science can make it go away for a fee..." Would you complain if she said that? No, you wouldn't. That is a DOUBLE two faced indian-giving standard. Just so you know.

AIU: great point and argument. Thanks for making it.
Can we get clear that neither pro-choice nor pro-life camps are misogynist? While there is little agreement, both camps really honestly want what they feel most honors women. And the loudest voices on both sides are women.
I would accuse Ray of being cavalier, but then, he is!

Au contraire, ma soeur! My willingness to sit it out comes with great intentionality - the kind that makes a difference.
I really believe that something that impacts women so much more then men is something that should be exclusively theirs to decide. Period.
I'm not passively sitting it out. I'm actively promoting men sitting down and women standing up. I'm actively supporting men, regardless of religion or public office, remaining neutral on this topic, and allowing the women to have an authentic conversation about what they want in this area. Only where Father's rights come into play should a dude have a voice in this matter. Otherwise, I thank men for shutting up and sitting down, and listening for what is there when only the gals talk.
It really doesn't fit your quote.
I take full responsibility for all men everywhere who think they really have anything to say on this, and I will not have succeeded in my intention until I (at that level) have sat it out and let the women sort it out amoung themselves. 'Kay?

The difference is between intent and effect. We should agree that one can hold either position without the immediate intent being misogynistic. However, this doesn't prevent the other side from claiming that to hold such a position either a) involves some implicitly sexist assumptions or b) would infringe on women's rights through its desired ends.
I do think that to place the argument there is a distraction, however; the central question is simply whether or not a fetus qualifies as sentient life. Presumably the whole issue should be laid to rest once we finally develop artificial wombs into which a fetus can be safely transplanted. I have a feeling this would still not appease some 'pro-lifers' though, and that is the point when you would know that the intent is controlling women rather than preserving life.

Your points about controlling women are spot on, but even if a fetus were sentient life, I should not be legally required to donate my bodily resources to it, just as I am not legally required to donate blood or give a kidney to a relative.

Well, I think the point that a sincere pro-life person would make is that it's not like the fetus comes out of nowhere and forces you to donate your body - the need for its support usually comes about as a result of certain decisions you and your partner make (the fact that the burden is only borne by one of the equally responsible partners is just one of the injustices of biology). Mind you, I'm not making this argument myself, just saying it's a valid point that could be made.

ESSAY QUESTION
To stir the pot a bit:
At what age of gestation (or beyond) should you be legally required to take care of the child/fetus? Fertilisation, mid-second trimester, or is it once they leave the mother? Or are we going by functioning personality - namely, when they're around 3 years old?
Have fun deciding what makes you a person, fuckers!

I've always held that the abortion/infanticide comparison is moot, because it's much easier to just drop the child off at the local police station or hospital than stabbing them repeatedly and having to clean up the mess.

What's sad is that I had a full five page debate on the topic of abortion with a moderately intelligent pro-choice guy a while ago, and now I can seriously not be arsed to have one again. Although I realise that there isn't much call to, as most people are being considerate and trying not to fill up the comments section with futile bickering. (Not taking the subject of XKCD into account, of course.)
Point being, the reason I really couldn't be bothered to go through it again is that I know at least generally how the two arguments will present themselves, and vaguely what impasse will be reached. It's like the science/religion debate. Neither side will change their opinion, because both sides have slightly but significantly different views on what is and isn't moral.

That's an easy one. One is just a moral stance and the other is a moral and a political one. You can believe that abortion is morally wrong but know that this belief is based mainly on your religious views and thus should not be forced on others as law. You can also be aware of the fact that banning it would lead to backalley abortions and unwanted/abused children. In fact, many people who describe themselves as pro-choice actually feel this way.
On the other hand, there are pro-choice people who do not think it's morally wrong because they do not believe in such things as souls and all scientific evidence shows that a fetus does not acquire consciousness (frontal lobe activity, ability to feel pain) until about the third trimester. So until then a fetus may as well be a sperm cell.
The point is that while there are two defensible moral stances that cannot be reconciled, there is only one defensible political one, as laws in a secular democratic society can only be based on scientific evidence rather than articles of faith.

You know, thats a pretty good point, and I think I was off base using the word "misogynistic".
Then again, though, the point is, I dont know what shes thinking. Ray's attitude is "She is touching her jewelry... now it is ok for me to impregnate her and expect her to kill my baby".
The whole point is that we dont know what shes thinking.
I do think youre right, that may not qualify as misogyny. But I still find it pretty disgusting, and disappointing from a character I otherwise like, which I guess is why Im angry about it.
And I think youre wrong, I would still be pretty disappointed if she felt that way.
It may be a "double standard", but only because there are TWO standards. Because there are DIFFERENT sexes. Ray is not ever going to have an abortion. If a girl decides that she is willing to risk having an abortion just to buck nasty with Ray, thats her choice. If Ray decides that the girl will just have to have an abortion if she gets pregnant, well, thats different. Different standards.

It wasnt my intention, I am not religious, so thats not what this is about. I guess I was frustrated reading my favorite comic and the punch line, rather than making me laugh, made me lose respect for the character.

I agree with you chagment but only to the point that your assumption may be correct; You assume that ray is not assuming that the lady would want to have an abortion. Perhaps he is assuming that the lady would in fact want to have an abortion if she got preggo. And if she did want this, well then, more power to her and Ray. If she doesn't, then of course she and Ray are both screwed (no pun intended) in so far as they now have a much more complicated situation than probably either of them was hoping for.
Perhaps in Achewood, there are no ladies who object to the concept of abortion. Achewood is after all whatever the hell Onstead wants it to be, and maybe he simply doesn't think that abortion is a big deal, at least, on a philosophical / ethical level. Obviously, it is still a medical procedure, and one that it's best to avoid if you can.. from a medical standpoint even the morning after pill is a little more involved and difficult treatment than getting a haircut. But when it comes to ethical concerns, and possible psychological ramifications for the lady getting the abortion, some ladies simply don't have any problem with it at all. None at all. They don't think of it as killing a person in the least. And so, maybe ray feels the same way, and so naturally hopes that his lady friend also feels the same way. And like I said, maybe Acheworld is free of pro-life ninny extremists, in which case Ray's assumption would be much less naive than it would be in real life.
Also, I welcome Loneal's contribution to any debate over abortion here. I'm sure such a debate would be futile in the end, but I at least like to see a solid, rational, progressive, and well thought out point of view put out there for people to read. After all, the pro-misogyny folks never hesitate to spam their insufferable cultism-infused extremist rhetoric at every opportunity, so it's nice to have a counter-balance, just in case there be impressionable young kids reading, or the like.
my personal theory on abortion is that there is no friggin way you can argue that a fetus is a human when the brain is less developed than a frog or a dog... don't get me wrong, I don't think that we should kill dogs, ever, but, if by chance I would need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise that dog and spend all my time and energy on it and pay for that dog to go to college... fuck it.... hand me a 22 or a 38 or a damn axe for all I care... I'm gonna kill it quick before it does become human... and yet, even once a fetus actually does qualify as 'human,' ya know what, I'm still pro-choice, because you know, you gotta be pragmatic and recognize that as much as some might want this to be a black and white yes/no litmus test of life sort of question, it's not. If we wanna talk about life, let's talk about the life of the woman (or often the girl) who is the mother, the impact on her entire life, let alone the very real, however small, risk of complications of pregnancy up to and including death... It warms the heart that the pro-lifers are so ready and willing to force that risk onto women and girls... Even if everything goes 'well,' the impact and cost to the mother and society as a whole is tremendous, and in a worst case scenario, you wind up with the mother having severe health problems, and, you wind up with a flipper baby. Sounds like a win-win sitution.... NOT
This entire so-called pro-life philosophy is a scam that is the natural extension and tumerous out-growth of the extremist pseudo-Christian fanatical right-wing whose entire cultural perspective revolves around holding up misogyny and patriarchalism as sacred. If these hypocritical dumb fucks [b] really hold the life of a god damned single-celled zygote to be sacred, then why the hell is this the same camp of Red Necks that one generally finds at an NRA convention? Where's the respect for animal rights? No, these politically conservative bastards consistently fight for the right to use and abuse animals without limits, they fight against the most basic of human rights (health care, workers rights, etc,) but when it comes to a frickin amoebae fetus that is several billion cells short of being a human yet, all of a sudden these hypocritics conveniently become devout Buddhists.
So that's my perspective on the matter. Thanks for listening everyone. :)

It's not about respecting the human rights of a zygote, it's about holding the mother accountable for what she's done (to some, this includes behaving in a manner that attracts rapists, from what I can gather).
By the way, [b] starts bold text and [ /b] ends it. I think you had them mixed up.

you're talking about water balloons right? You can make some insane water balloons with condoms. Take them to the swimming pool and fill them up with the water jets on the sides of the pool, tie them shut and set them free... If you play your cards right you can get the whole pool evacuated with a jelly-fish scare. Especially if you use studded and ribbed condoms. Good times , good times.

I wish I could find a reference easily that explains the rationale for placing Red Panda in Procyonidae (the raccoon family) and the Giant Panda in Ursidae (the bear family). None the less, it's a great illustration of the grading of closely-related families into each other. Currently, the Giant Panda is considered the most archaic form of bear; presumably the Red Panda the most advanced form of raccoon.
The bears are, in turn, the closest relative of the dogs (Canidae). (Everything must ultimately be self-referential.)

If debates had a Lame button, I'm sure they'd be used. Just because you don't appreciate something, doesn't mean the creator isn't talented. I don't like coconut. Never have. Even though I hate coconut, it would be incredibly lame for me to slag Pierre Hermé and his Macaron Haute-Couture, and if I were to do so, it would entirely appropriate for other people to press a Lame button if they had one.

And so, Daidai used the word "suggested" instead of "suggestion", therefore ruining any chances of spellcheck saving him from looking like a bumbling fool.
only now I notice your avatar. it is a thing of this world and here's the chubby to prove it.
That would be utterly appropriate, although I think then to come in line with the comic Chubbies would have to be re-termed "Rads"
A macaron and a macaroon are two different animals. Ain't no coconut in a macaron, son.
How about a macron?
Ouch.
I consider myself a fan of both food and words, and that stings my ass.
Chubbed.
It's not the opinion so much as the nauseatingly smug jackassery.

I like xkcd, sometimes. It is horrible inconsistent in being funny, but if you look at his earlier strips you see he isn't even trying to be funny sometimes. I think it's partially that he is just getting his weirdness out there, i.e. his tendency to apply science and math to real life. Some of us actually have that problem!
I used i.e. where I should have used e.g. because it is not just that.
Furry conventions.
OR , you could go through an entire assetbar page, laming somebody's posts pretty much regardless of content, hellaurie. People admire and respect that kind of thing.
Hey! Did you ever notice how relationships are difficult to maintain when you have the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old? Also: References to the 80's!
Hey, Utahraptor: I resemble that remark!
Lesbians!
This is brilliantly ambiguous, but since I didn't make an 80's reference it must refer to xkcd.
Yes, yes that's it.
Oh lord, is this the 'I do not enjoy XKCD very much' coming-out event? I haven't had time to prepare.
I'm sorry internet, but this is who I am. I hope you can accept that I don't laugh and pat myself on the back for recognising an academic reference.
That Randall Munroe is a Webcomic Celebrity and KC Green still has to draw commissions to eat makes me weep.
Oh god I've said so much I'm so sorry.
I am with you. I also dislike Dresden Codak. Just as a heads up.
KC Green? You mean this guy?
Isn't he, like, twenty-nothing? I think he has time to reach Munroe status.
I agree 100%. I've always found that comic smart-assed and pretentious.
Unlike, oh, this one...
You have a friend in Jesus, now. (And by Jesus, I mean me.)

I'm not gonna look at that link and I don't care what sort of man he is. He is a very, very good director. One of the best of his generation. I don't care if his comics are bad or if his brand of coffee sucks. I don't care if he has funny ideas about the way things happened in the world. He gave us Blue Velvet. He gave us The Elephant Man, Wild at Heart, Fire Walk With me and, yes, even Dune.
You are the silly man, man.

Speaking of shitty movies, why hasn't the person behind Purgatory House been publically executed yet?
It is a simple dream/wish fulfillment story followed by the events that triggered the wish fulfillment. I know there are a lot of weird Lynchian moments in the dream sequence, but it is a dream and the subconcious goes to town. I am disapointed as Mulholland Dr actually makes a lot of sense, I do however have trouble understanding Lost Highway though I find it stunning to watch.

Subconscious- what makes you dream weird shit.
Unconscious- what you have to be in order to dream.
You're unaware (unconscious) but you're talking about the psyche so it's subconscious.
No.
Unconscious: Anything that you are not aware of. This could involve desires and drives and memories. You repress these things because they harm you. According to Freud, your unconscious desires manifest themselves through dreams. Collectively, all of your unconcsious desires and memories are known as your Unconscious.
Unconsciousness is also the state of not being aware of the environment around you, but this doesn't include sleep. Sleep is an altered state of consciousness, because you are still aware (this is why you don't roll of your bed and why sensory imput is sometimes incorporated in dreams.)
Subconscious:
What is between your conscious and unconscious. Pretty much this is whatever you are not currently unaware of, but can easily become conscious. And example is a memory that you are not currently thinking, but you have no block preventing you from remembering it.
This was renamed into the preconscious. No one talks about it anymore because it is as boring as heck.
Both the unconscious and the preconscious involve the psyche.
I've heard they're both the same, your definitions, and my definitions many times in my life. As I understand it, Freud used "unconscious" to mean what we basically mean today as "subconscious." So I'm sticking with my definition and if you can't figure it out, phooey.
But I have a better idea. Let's stop lecturing each other and all of assetbar right here and now and laugh at the pretty sequential art above.
P.S. you started it.
I wasn't aware we were fighting. I was just teaching you something that I know. This is the terminology that psychologist use. I figured you would have said "Oh! I didn't know that. Thank you for teaching me something new today, sje."
But perhaps I have an unrealistic view of the world.
Yes, lay-people do say "subconscious" to mean what psychologists call the "unconscious", but we should refer to it as the unconscious instead because that was the original word that the professionals still use. Also, it stops confusion.
Son, you make a daddy proud! Thank you!
Now I'm fighting and stubborn. I wasn't fighting with you, I was just saying that I have seen it in more places than one (or two or three) that it's the other way around, and I would gladly accept it if I saw it for myself. I looked online between your first post and mine so that I wasn't putting my foot in my mouth and I saw on several sites that my way seemed to be correct (I said "seemed because I wasn't sure about the validity of them). In keeping with that concern for validity, I didn't stumble over myself rushing to thank you, because I'm not sure what kind of source you are. Like I said, I will accept valid proof.
But I don't think it's really not worth either of our time.
Why are you so mad at me? Really, it's not a big deal. I'm sorry if I seemed pedantic or anything, but I was just trying to teach people something I know about. I mean, I'm a psych major, and I learn about these things.
It is really not a big deal that you use subconscious in that way. It is an extremely common use of that word. I see famous writers use it all the time. But they are, by definition of every psychologist, wrong.
Look at this:
https://www.painintheenglish.com/post.php?id=527
Most of the people here say something that they think is the correct meaning, but most of them are wrong. Until we get to John Hasznosi, who said it perfectly (about 5 posts down).
But you want reliable sources. Besides my psych teacher, this is what wikipedia has to say:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subconscious_mind

Annoyingly, I can't find a psychological dictionary.
It is worth my time. I love debating.
I have a psych dictionary, I'll check it when I get home. Which is a bit sad 'cause I'm practicing and I should no... oh wait, that's right, I'm practicing, I don't need to know that shit anymore!
Heh. Just kidding. I'll drop something from the dictionary later...
Oh fuck! I used "no" instead of "know", what the hell is WRONG with me.
Like you said: You're practicing. Who can read a doctor's notes anyway?
You're a practicing Psychologist? That's really cool.
I bet you get people wondering if you're psycho-analysing them all the time. And I partly assume knowing all about such stuff would make self-analysis all that more complicated.
re: self-analysis: depends on your discipline. The approaches I'm into at the moment make self-help far, far easier.
No instead of Know eh? Freudian slip?
Woodenteeth--you're a practicing psychologist? Could you, um, help me with some stuff?
Sure. Your problem is obviously based on the complicated issues faced by any feline DJ. I won't be suggesting an existentialist approach, because, you know, Feline DJs don't actually exist...
The problem is is that some of us don't think you "know".
Even if you are a trained psychiatrist.
All of this is hotly debated now and I think most modern psychiatrists would lean towards nice-on-water's definition.
HOLY DABBLER, YOU BEEN DROWNIN' TOO LONG IN AN ENDLESS SEA.
Sorr everone Korea has alcohol thats new to me.
(Now I owe you two.)
: )
... or you don't prescribe to Freudian theory much at all and understand that the phenomenon he's describing fluctuates along a continuum and the seperation of those two definitions is kinda pointless, practically and scientifically.
Hah! MY OPINION! Taking my stance it's hotly debated to no good end. But I'm always entirely open to being entirely wrong. Or disproved. Either way.
That's all I asked for. The sources I found didn't look extremely credible. I wasn't mad, either. I was just annoyed that you decided to school everyone for no reason. Anger is very different. A psych major should know that. BA-BA-BA-BURRRN
Are you twelve? Why are you so immature?
I just said that I was trying to teach someone something. This is precisely what my psychology teacher taught me, as well as all those sources said. It is true that the word subconscious almost never appears in serious psychology articles/journals/whatever.
And what were your sources again?
I'll ask my psych professor on Tuesday what the difference is. He was a psychiatrist in the biggest mental hospitals in California, and teaches the subject for a living. If anyone is a reliable source, it is he.
Saying "Burn" during a debate shows that you value winning competitions over knowing the truth. It's quite a silly thing to say.
If I am wrong, provide a reliable non-laity source that will show that I'm wrong.
Ugg. Nevermind. I have a feeling that this thing will just cause resentment.
I will ask my professor though, and if you want to know what he says, just ask me in a few days.
*dropped*
No, I honestly don't mind as much as you think I do. I don't hate you, and the immaturity is me trying to introduce some humor to a tense "debate" (which I conceded to, I told you I accept your sources, that wasn't sarcasm). You can go on thinking I'm sitting here, fuming and sputtering at the computer, but I'm not, the only thing that got my goat was when you just decided to teach me, and thinking I would love you for it. But agreed, let's drop it.
Can I say something. . . ?
"NO!!!"
'Kay. Sorry. I'll. . . I'll see ya'.
@nice-on-water
[I am replying to lechatbotte because Assetbar is lame on Firefox and I can't hit "post".
Oh. Okay.
Wow. I'm bad at the Internet. Sorry I didn't understand your sarcasm.
I didn't actually think that you would love me. That was a little hyperbolic. I just thought people would say "Oh. I didn't know that."
I didn't mean to be pedantic or anything. I just didn't word things right.
I totally misread you by the way. I thought you said "The sources you found don't look extremely credible". I really wish I didn't "jump the gun" as they say and make a fool of myself, which I did.
EFF I am dumb!
All is forgiven, and forgive me for my tone.
OH DA WUV IN DA AIR IS PALPABOO!
Palpaboo? In the air?! Quick, everyone, hold your breath!!!
*HUGGZ!*
Goddamn, we resolved that shit.
Nice-on-water and SJE gets things done.
I declare both of you cured.
::speaks in tongues::
Thanks. How much is that, doc?
Oh - I'm not a doctor.
Jargon isn't necessarily English.
Subconscious - B. absol. as n. Psychol. The part of the mind that is not fully conscious but is able to influence actions, etc. 1886 Encycl. Brit. XX. 48/1 We cannot fix the limit at which the subconscious becomes the absolutely unconscious.
Unconscious - A. adj. Not conscious or knowing within oneself; unaware, regardless, heedless.
Gentleman, I submit these definitions to the debate. I think your lordships will find these to be most pertinent. It is of utmost importace to remember that words have many uses; jargon has very specific meaning outside the realm of common speech, but this isn't necessarily the only correct definition of a word.
Oh shit OED online, btw...
Lay dictionaries describe usage, not prescribe. Where is the noun form of unconscious?
This dictionary is for lay-folk.
I like to lay....folk
This is humorous.
Who fucking cares.
hahhahah... thata boy.
I'm thrilled that this entire psychological debate somehow found it's way into my inbox even though I never touched it, not even with a ten-foot pole.
Thrilled.
Lost Highway and Mulholland Dr ? If you liked these, what'd you think of Jacob's Ladder ?
Jacob's Ladder is still the scariest film I've ever seen. I love it.
Jacob's Ladder is terrific. I just watched it again last week; it has some of the most disturbing & frightening scenes I've ever seen.
Back to David Lynch, I also really enjoy Inland Empire . If people can't deal with Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive , don't even try Inland Empire . Understanding isn't relevant to Lynch's work at this point. All you can do is surrender to what happens on the screen...
In life, understanding is the booby prize. The most valuable things we'll ever have aren't understood, we just sort of "get" them. That's the only way to work with a Lynch movie. Just "get" it.
I need to see INLAND EMPIRE again. It was a midnight show and I had been stoned all day. I'm sure I misunderstood a lot of it. I remember that it was pretty fucking terrifying. I remember that much.
Stoned? You likely got it better than the rest!
so true. every david lynch movie i've seen and that i've rewatched while high has made approximately 6 times as much sense while i was baked. but not in the "oh, that seemed logical while i was high but now that's the dumbest idea i've ever heard" way. drugs just make you smarter.
kids, always watch david lynch stoned.
agreed on inland empire. it's fantastic. i got it as a gift and i find myself wanting to watch it again and again.
Ironically, I find David Lynch's best film to be the G-rated (!) and Disney-released (!!!!) A Straight Story . Wonderful movie that proves the point (to borrow a tired cliche) that it really is all about the journey, not the destination.
Aw, so it does get some love! And from a Young Ones fan, no less. Once again, I've judged you too quickly, my little assetbar. (spry winky face)
What impressed me so much about Inland Empire was how radically he rethought his whole approach to directing based on the visual qualities of digital video (his first and only flick not shot on film- also the first he financed without any studio backing). I love the look of film grain & I do indulge in the ubiquitous movie hipster DV-bashing pretty often, but damn if the man didn't find the most beautiful qualities of that grainless seamless digital look. The extreme close-ups in that movie *kill*. I also really like how it teeters very close to some kind of coherent but incredibly complex meta-narrative, but every interpretation you come up with leaves out some loose ends. That could be said of most of his work since the 90's, I suppose, but then I'm one who likes Mulholland Drive (not crazy about Lost Highway , though). His movies all seem to relate to dream states in one way or another to me, so I think it's more about symbolic meaning and dream logic than anything you can easily explain. People say that's a cop out, but I don't know any director who can conjure that state of mind more effectively. Hey, I have so many thoughts about David Lynch, I am clearly smart! I am a white male who went to college, so my opinions must be interesting!
aw, never end an unsolicited critical dissertation with self-deprecation. We all do it, you don't need to pre-defend yourself. Perfectly captures the caveat-laden defense of Lynch that I was feeling but didn't want to write.
my low self-esteem is so transparent. hugs?
((((((((((((((((((((HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGZZZZ)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Holy...holy crap ! I feel wonderful! Holy CRAP! Alright assetbar, my next stream of pretension will be wholly unalloyed by preemptive self-deprecation! My next one after this, that is.
I chubbied you for your self-deprecation, because I find self-deprecation charming.
NOW what will your next stream of pretension be like??
I have a friend who always says Self-Defecating rather than Self-Deprecating, it is his schtick.
Self-defenestration is like a million times schtickier.
It usually starts out ok, and all, but it often ends up pretty messy. The number of stories involved is usually a determining factor. I usually schtick to one story at a time.
And I always land on my feet!
I happened to watch a documentary last night about Fellini and was reminded of Juliet of the Spirits , 8 1/2 , and Satyricon, all of which have dream/hallucinatory narratives and amazingly vivid, idiosyncratic visual style. Fellini is, in a way, Rodney Leonard Stubbs to Lynch's Ray Smuckles. (I had to do something to drag this back to Achewood.)
That is the most convoluted and esoteric metaphor I have ever, ever seen in my life. You are just lucky that it is apt. LUCKY.
I feel you, whiteturtle. And thank you! Even respecting your brief experience (after all, I's could be yo daddy), it pleases me to have made an apt, convoluted and esoteric metaphor (with a creamy simile center!) that made it to the top of someone's list. Do not despair, the decades to come will doubtless have new heights for you to savor.
I am lucky. After all I'm a sweet tempered pit bull-chocolate lab cross. With such big teeth like you have, you bet I'd just show my belly and wait for you to stop being annoyed.
Jacob's Ladder had a nice idea and some good visuals, but it was predictable from the first scene. The title even telegraphed it. In this sense it is much like "The Sixth Sense" except the latter was absolutely terrible and pointless if you figured out the twist within the first five minutes.
Yeah. Sixth Sense was painfully transparent. My only enjoyment (beyond the great atmospherics of it - it still had some great film-making in it!) was not ruining it for my wife, and getting a vicarious thrill at the "twist" ending from her amazement and surprise.
"What a twist!" (If you'll forgive a Robot Chicken reference.)
But Jacob's Ladder left me not quit sure until after the third viewing, and even now there's just enough loose ends left that I'm guessing.
uh, yes it does.
I'm sorry.
I didn't say that he was a bad director. I think that he is a good director. He is the master of atmosphere.
I was saying that I find some of his work pretentious. And the work I find pretentious are Eraserhead , and those videos about those rabbits that are scary as heck, and a few other things I saw of his. I mean the really surreal stuff. I saw Blue Velvet, and I didn't hate it. It was a good movie, def. And this comic is pompous too.
Okay, don't click on the link. It's not a link to a page ranting about what a terrible man he is or anything. It's from his site.
The comic is silly, as well as the belief that 9/11 was a conspiracy. And most of his movies aren't silly. (Although I have only seen Velvet Blue and parts of Eraserhead).
just because something is surreal or hard to understand doesn't mean it's pretentious. there is a difference between pretension and true artistic vision. the easily intimidated often translate the latter as the former, but rarely do you find someone who has both.
I should probably stop calling different types of artists pretentious, because that is not really a thing you can prove objectively, and it just gets people mad.
I don't like Jackson Pollack either. I find him pretentious as well. But I bet someone here would defend him. But I don't know too much about art/movies/poetry/etc. So I'll just quit now.
Dear sje46,
You have a high pretension meter because you are Achewood Phillipe. That pretensionless, perfectly sincere turn in most of your posts is what got you your stripes. Bringing up the pretentious-debate is what a board full of over cynical wankers needs. This wanker enjoys it. No quiting. Take the fight to the people.
Preferably with a daisy in your hand (please try not to impregnate the daisy).
Son! Pollack is a brilliant artist! (I'm telling your mother.)
Oh you mean Jack the Dripper ?
*points and laughs at schoolie-boy version of Jackson Pollack, whom I am for some reason imagining earned his nickname early in life through urinary means rather than through envelope-pushing art*
The Straight Story never gets any love. (frowny face)
The Straight Story was plenty good. But it didn't give me nightmares, so it essentially failed. When I'm watching a Lynch film, I goddamned better get at least one nightmare out of it. If I want a "warm" feeling I'll watch.... Yo Gabba Gabba or Tron or some shit.
Tron didn't give you nightmares? That movie's creepy as shit! And why the hell is Ben Kingsley in that movie? Oh wait, IMDB says it was David Warner. *sigh* Another childhood illusion shattered.
I had quite a distresing time the other day when I realised that John Goodman probably played Fred Flintstone in those godawful movies.
And when I decided to check whether or not this was actually the case after posting that message, I found out that he also voices Robot Santa Claus in Futurama! This just became a good day.
I find about half ADITW comics pretentious. The other half are just silly, and they happen to have the same format. So what? Even though I've been an aspiring cartoonist since I first picked up a Calvin and Hobbes comic, at the end of the day it's a comic . If you find it funny, great. If you don't, move on.
That said, xkcd is fucking bullshit.
Son, I'm a little late to the party, but those "Angriest Dog" bits were hilarious. I may get lamed for saying it, but even though they are a peculiar sort of humour, they work! I can't imagine it having anything like the run of Achewood, but then I don't need a lot of taragon in a year to be glad to have had some. Thank you for sharing this with me.
BTW, for the rest of ya's: Lynch may be all kinds of things, but brilliant needs a place on that list.
I am so glad I could tip your chubby/lame balance back into chubby territory.
dude's right, though. xkcd blows.

I'm so out of the loop that I didn't even realise it was a thang to be hatin on XKCD until a couple of weeks ago.
His strips have made me laugh several times, which is more than I can say for 95% of the webcomics I've ever seen.
I concur with cracklewater.
HOWEVER, it should be noted that this means XKCD is good in the way that, say, How I Met Your Mother is good. If you aren't looking for anything more than entertainment, and aren't a dick about some (or most) of the strips or episodes being derivative and formulaic, then yes, it is good.

Who cares about XKCD? There is a better comic called Achewood waiting to come out of your browser.
You just have to load it and put it there.
Whoa... did Morgan Freeman just say something?
What? What are you looking at? Me? I don't like xkcd! Blasphemy! There is only one comic for me: Achewood! Why would I need variety in my webcomics? Nonsense! I do not go to Achewood for the strong characterization and storylines and xkcd to appeal to my somewhat intellectual side, and cyanide and happiness and white ninja to cater to my immaturity and perry bible fellowship and simulated comic product for the dark nihilistic humor! Never! I am for Onstad all the way!
I would never cheat on you, Achewood .
I keep myself entertained with Achewood, Dinosaur Comics and PFSC (and Wondermark if I remember what day it is).
JUDGE ME
Cracklewater: That is my personal problem with XKCD. I read through the entire archives expecting to find a chuckle, and i did not find even one chuckle.
I guess humor is super subjective but honestly I see no point to looking at stick figures and reading equations. We live in a world where A Lesson Is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible happened, and we give XKCD of all things this much attention? It boggles the mind.
But this is also the same world wherein A Lesson Is Learned has been on indefinite hiatus, and webcomics like Ctrl Alt Del somehow gain fanbases.
Damnit.. there's an edwell picture and I can't see it because my work firewall is a Nazi. Coincidentally, they also blocked Penny Arcade because they said it was a "Game" site. BASTARDS!!!
Hey Kamet, is that orgasm montage from Amelie?
Si senor!
Very clever.
I happen to like XKCD. Is that bad? Do I need to wear a yellow star on my lapel around here now?
We muft stick together.
Well excuse me Martha Washington.
I'm with you invi. We are the oppressed minority here. We are crapped on by default. Centuries of bias are heaped on our lives. People belittle us without even knowing they are doing it. We struggle for mere dignity.
My God. This must be what it feels like to be loneal.
Suck on my balls, hedo.
Suck on my balls, hedo.
The comment so nice, she said it twice!
Man, why did that have to happen then? I wanted terse, vicious precision and instead I got tomfoolery. I didn't even click post twice or nothing.
100% USDA chicanery. Well, it happens.
It would have been positively hilarious if you had said "Suck on my ball", singular, both times. The cumulative sucking of both your she-balls would have been a fantastic use of two posts, instead of a poor application of one's self.
Of course I don't give all this commotion two shits in the afternoon, but I'll leave my opinion that xkcd is very good. I think his voice "humanizes" much of the geek themes he talks about, and he made some characters with more than a modicum of personality - and that's no small feat when you're basically drawing stick figures (the guy w/ the hat, for example).
please ignore the quotation marks. that was a mix-up w/ an older version of this post. forget you saw them, dammit!
Usually XKCD doesn't do much for me, but it sometimes makes me laugh .
I, of course, am ready to forgive XKCD for a lot of things because of this strip.
My wifeybot likes them for this one: https://xkcd.com/400/ . Not so much the punchline (which is okay), but the fact that his idea of sex is what it is.
Is that a punchline though?
Do you need help?
How are you with explosives?
I'm excellent with... explosives.
OK. I'll concede that XKCD is smug and self-satisfied. However, it only by virtue of the link on XKCD's site that I discovered Achewood.
I think it is likely that many here arrived by the same route (akin to a date with the ugly girl resulting in banging her cute sister).
My friend showed my Achewood when I was still jerking off to MTTS, C&H and Dinosaur Comics (which I still like). Needless to say, I literally cannot read most comics I find now. For some reason, I was looking at QC (I know, I know, shut up, I was making a point) and there was a link to a comic called Ugly Hill that the "cartoonist" (I forget his name) said was great, and it was total shit.
I think Ugly Hill is very different from those other comics--intelligent storylines & the artist really is an amazing character designer. In illustration, the guy is a king.
Not everyone has to like everything, but it's hard to say it's "shit"--the character design really is quite impressive.
He's got the drawing down pat-- very cartoony style indeed-- but it's pretty formulaic and since the only thing I've read webcomics-wise for the past year or so is Achewood, Dinosaur Comics and PFSC, that just doesn't cut it anymore. Maybe the stories are smart (they're in the middle of an election-themed thing) and maybe some of the punchlines are funny, but since being exposed to Achewood, I can't read stuff like that anymore (Not that Achewood is like the apex of cutting-edge anti/meta/humor, but it sure not run of the mill).
I think it's a little silly to assume that "many" other people here arrived via an XKCD link. I found out about it through some hateful nerd's blog. Joe Mathlete, I think his name was. I hated the blog, but somehow read it just long enough that day to get to the Achewood link. The rest is history.
Oh, and since this seem to be the official "Tell Everyone How You Feel About XKCD" thread, let me say that I still hate it. Somehow, there was just never any question. The feeling was just so unambiguous, so pure.
I hate this. This much I know.
God damn, god damn, I slept late and missed a chance to force my opinion on everyone. I have a LOT of catching up to do.
...and GO!
1. I can't help but get the feeling that some people here think it makes them cool to hate everything on the Internet except for Achewood. Relax, guys, Onstad is not going to make you deputy hall monitor.
2. I am ambivalent regarding XKCD. 25% of it makes me laugh. Another 25% of the time I enjoy learning about the references. Yet another 25% of the time I wish he'd shut up with the references. And the final 25% is the inspirational/moralistic strips (like the furry one mentioned above) that are kind of self-righteous and grating. Still, the first 25% makes it worth it.
2. To say Dinosaur Comics is 'formulaic' is about the same thing as saying Achewood is about cats (see Constrained Comics )
3. It's not about patting yourself on the back for understanding Wikipedia articles, it's about the way T-rex tries to apply the theories and reverts to childishness at the end of every argument.
4. Anything can be made to sound lame if broken down into a sarcastic description. I can easily do the same to Achewood (and have in previous comments), but there's no need for that right now.
5. Questionable Content is still unquestionably awful, and Octopus Pie is just not funny.
Achilleselbow, you're OKAY

By coincidence (and not to be confrontational or tit-for-tat), I just went and read dozens of Dinosaur Comics and I can't find a single amusing or interesting thing in that strip.
I'd come across it before (monitors wipe clean, y'know) and didn't see the point.
After a bunch of people recommended today, Ireally tried to stick with it an find something to like about it ... but no luck.
I was a little mystified by the first Achewood strips I read, but it's compelling after just a brief skim, even is one doesn't quite get it right away.
No accounting for taste I guess.
While we're revealing stuff, I also like PA a lot and think those guys deserve their reportedly immense pile of cash.
And on that subject, ain't no mufuk'n shame in my game, dear chap.
It takes unique and special piano keys of many different colours to make this crazy old world of ours, cracklewater. (PS: I didnt know about the xkcd hating thang either).
Oh boy, angry little internet people are just laming all over the shop now...
as someone who doesn't give a shit about xkcd either way, i'm getting pretty sick of scrolling around looking for achewood-related comments. that is all.
Achewood, Dr McNinja, Overcompensating/Wigu, Girly, Dinosaur Comics, XKCD, Dresdan Codak.. all awesome in my opinion. Sure the last two go over my head sometimes, but hey. They're good.
xkcd isn't too technical. You can usually understand the joke without majoring in mathematics/physics.
So, I was going through this archive of 19th century newspapers, and they had these political cartoons.
I'm picturing some old hayseed sittin' on the porch after a long hard day of shit labor in his dirty burlap pants and tatered straw hat, laughing his ass off at this funny or that through his last three good teeth.
Me? Did get half of 'em. Hadn't heard of most the folks or squabbles they were about.
One brought a small chuckle: it was a depiction of Brigham Young's harem. Picture a room full of a dozen or so women dressed in to-the-ankle and to-the-wrist dresses, pulling each others hair and hitting each other with fists and pillows while Mr. Young cowers just out of shot in the doorway. I wasn't hella funny, but at least a chuckle. And that was it. I've had root canals that were funnier.
So, humor really is selective. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Doesn't mean anything. Just means it didn't work for you.
I don't even have time for Achewood, so it is the only web comic I'm following. I envy those of you who have time to have an opinion on the rest.
You know what comic really sucks? Lucky and Guy . That's a crappy little bullshit strip.
Hah. I hope no one agrees with you.
I definitely agree.
Hey leche, they still have political cartoons in this modern-day era.
REALLY?
Yeah. But at least they tend to actually be amusing now and then. My point was how meaningless it really is that humor is selective.
(And only loneal is allowed to call me leche!)
So does "XKCD" mean anything or sound like something? Eks, Kay, Cee, Dee? What sort of stupid am I?
Hmmm... Well, how many sorts are there, pogo?
XD
There are 12. XKCD will present them in a 4x3 grid next week. Opinion on the grid's comical merits will be sharply divided. XKCD's creator, Randall Munroe, will make a T-shirt out of the panel, though, and the shirt's record-breaking sales will pay for his tuition at art school. Armed with this new education, he will abandon the crude drawing style of the original XKCD for 3-D renderings of stick figures. The next day's strip will consist solely of the rendering equation used for a stick-figure's hat.
It's easy to look up.
I'll save you time. It means nothing. And say it however you want.
And the funny, harmless kind of stupid.
In the spirit of Teodor, here is actual Google search of mine:
"hey nerds tell me about how the LHC will kill us its funny"
xkcd in summation
[thread closed by admins]
I am JonMW, and I enjoy XKCD.
That is all!
Welcome to XKCDians Anonymous. There is some orange drink and brownies in the back. Please: help yourself.
The best part of this entire XKCD debate is that y'all are having it because someone is wrong on the Internet .
I admit, some of his internet-centered comics are alright, like the one where the people fighting on the internet are brought together and stop fighting when they see each other. But as a rule, eh.
?
that is so old school, that is straight-up 2003 dumbrella.com board Onstad smack-down. I KISS YOU!
p.s.- does anyone remember that shit?
btw- now that assetbar has rearranged my comment so no one can easily discern to what it refers, it was a response to aperson's [thread closed by admin] joke. onstad used to drop that hammer on fools and thinkers alike back in the (pre-baby) day. he closed threads like most men close the refrigerator door... except twice as cold .
oooohhhhh... i noticed that shit going down and was wondering where all the damn posts had gone. Hilarious. Can't keep up with the tsunami's of redundancy anymore.
I think of that as an arc in Overcompensating.
A fine one too.
With all of the hatred for XKCD here, I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that the artist also made one of the only non-Onstad Achewood strips that are actually worth a shit.
https://www.xkcd.com/141/
Heh. Buuuurrrrn. This XKCD dude obviously has some chops when he wants to try.
"It's not easy being Vagina Products Webcartoonist," thought Vagina Products Webcartoonist, as the Assetbarbarian ruthlessly trashed his comic chops.
I don't think that most D&D players have a sexual fetish for the game.
Oooh, what're gonna do? What're you doin' with those? You gonna roll for initiative? You got a d20? You gonna roll for initiative? I got a plus 4 mod on my initiative rolls, you like that? I go first every time, every time. Mmm, yeah, pick up a handful of those d6...yeah, just roll 'em around in your sweaty little hands...FIREBALL!
O yaaaaa... You USE that staff of telepathy, Oooooooo... Baby you do it so good... O, you have to roll for that one!? Do it. Do it GOOD, baby... roll me a Nat 20, roll me a Nat 20.. O, you do it SO GOOD!! NAT 20 OOOOOOOO!!!!!
I'm sorry I crit all over you.
Ahem
Love crits
Love them
Moist
Thanks, but it improves the experience if you could just crit on a glass coffee-table whilst I lie beneath.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
...no, baby tonight we're gonna try something different, put down the twenties, sixes and fours, we only gonna need the tens tonight. Yeah baby the sexy tens. Look at these Success/Failure tables. That's right baby, tonight we gonna get our MERP on.
...and i am the winner.
And almost no Magic players do. (I've seen one piece of Magic "hentai" [is it called hentai if it's not Japanese?] on the internet only.)
No. But they want to!
I'd fuck a Shivan Dragon given a chance. Who wouldn't?
When I was younger I thought Alexi, the age was hot.
:(
Of course I meant mage. Not age. Woopsies.
The Serra Angel was the epitome of hotness.
The great thing about Serra Angel: You can tap her over and over and over again.
Well, you have to use another card interaction to tap her. She has vigilance, so attacking doesn't cause her to tap.
That's right laydeez, I'm that unfuckable
i didn't understand it (the 1st comment) at all, so i couldn't be cunty. but it seemed stupid so .. well, you know what happens then ( lame )
Boy I just did that on Ambien. As far as I can tell right now, I have ten fingers on each hand and two faces. The walls are undulating. And I'm sitting here with a stranglehold on consciousness just to pen something nice on Assetbar before I go total comatose. All right habgablit, please present to me all your first posts in chronological order so that they may be assessed as they were spewed into the world. I see your comment staining the carpet up there, so there's at least one comment worse than mine. I am calling you out, boy!
A feminist doped up to the eyeballs on prescription sedatives VS a resident furry of relative dark-horse status on Assetbar.
The battle you've all been waiting for.
Ray will buy this DVD.
He has a subscription.
You get a chubby from me for not being screwed by Assetbar.
This man knows his way around a comment.
What a compliment! Why thank you, good sir.
Drugs are bad, mmkay?
I'm pretty sure Ambien is a medicine, not a drug.
Let's review:
Valium: you can get a receipt when you buy it (medicine)
Marijuana: no receipt (drug)
Cocaine: no receipt (drug)
Caffeine: receipt (medicine)
Robitussin: receipt (medicine)
Alcohol: the bartender will probably smack you if you ask for a receipt (drug)
Based on the receipt criterion, Ambien appears to qualify as a medicine.
That leads to...
Self-serve gas: Medicine
Full-serve gas: Drug
Makes sense to me.
Where is full-serve gas the norm? Oregon
What do they have in Oregon? Hippies
What do hippies do? Drugs
Man I sooo wanted to pump my own damned gas when I was in Hippie-fuck Oregon!
It's still a drug, though, just a legal one with an actual purpose beyond getting one "so fucked up, man, seriously". Any synthetic medicine is always a drug. A drug is not always a medicine.
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of...
Wow. Octafish found a song with drugs in it. That is sooo rare! Really.
(Did someone say fish? {meow?})
your love is like bad medicine
bad medicine is what I need
oh-whoa-oh
(Wow! She's really cute. And she's totally toying with her collar so hard at me. . . .)
Please. Please stop pretending to be a cat. You are a grown man, not a toddler.
You haven't learned to tell when it's me speaking and when it's the avatar? I'm really proud of him. That was a great send up of today's strip.
(I haven't the heart to tell him that all yellow/orange cats are male.)
WHAT?!
Seriously, who posts as a character represented by their avatar? I mean really?
I actually thought it was a pretty good use of it. As long as he stays the hell away from ethel. Her avicon is much too young for him.
I am suppressing the desire to post "MULTIPASS!"
Ok, Leeloo.
Okay hedobot, but when you do it it's funny (at least sometimes). We're talking about a 43 year old man acting like a cat from a children's story with no ironic or humorous subtext. If it's not being a furry, it's at least somewhat creepy and nauseating.
I don't hit achilleselbow's funny bone.
It's only creepy and nauseating if that's what you make it. You could choose to make it silly and fun. Who knows, maybe even funny?
At what age, exactly am I no longer allowed to make it fun?
I can see it now: "Doc, I need some help. I have FD. Ya' know, "Fun Disfunction". Just can't make a chuckle. What can I do?"
Dude, I know too many people just surviving their lives. Bed at night is the greatest accomplishment of the day. Not my plan! Life is for LIVING, and it is for the living. Count me amoung them until I can't move anymore, and then I'll be blinking jokes in Morse code!
Well, judging from Tekende's post, I'm not the only one who thinks so. It seems more like you're trying to be cute than funny. I mean where's the joke? You're just mimicking cat noises and actions. I feel like Stewie when he went on Kids Say the Darndest Things and Cosby took his goggles and made skiing motions while making silly noises. "That's not funny! That's just saying what happens when you go skiing!"
Lucky for you he's not the only source of humor on this site.
Aww, he's just having fun. He don't ejaculate none
Lol. Hey Hedo-baby: If you going to get my back and stand up for me, try not saying I'm impotent at the same time!
Ok. Got it. Frankly, most of this silliness is the direct result of watching my youngest cat's ways and reactions (he looks just like the avatar). If I'm eat'n tuna, he's all "someone say fish?", and just really present. And if I don't share, he's likely to get rude with the slippers. So, to that degree, right on, that's just what happens with a playful cat. But I find him funny as hell most days, so for me, playing him in human language is funny. But I totally get if it ain't for you.
Man, loneal is so much fun when she's tripping balls.
Man, loneal is so much fun when she's
tripping balls.There, fixed that for you
(Ok I don't even know what that means.)
gripping balls
oh man how did I not think of that one? Ripping balls, dripping balls...that's all I had time for before I had to get back to work.
I always have time for dripping balls at work.
Limping balls?
Limpid limps?
Pimping gimps?
Unsatisfying!
Unsaturating?
...Insinuating?
Urinating?
Insulting!
Insurgents.
Insolence!
Insipid!
Intrepid!
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Inconsiderate.
Inconsolate.
Indifferent. (Continuing the Combo anyway.)
Inconceivable!
WINNER!
(Thank you all for playing!)
Inadmissible!
:(
Indubitably!
: )
Indecipherable.

That's Wordwang!
So?
Conky 2000, r-r-ready to assist you, P-P-Pee-wee!
fineoakstructure:
Your correction is incorrect. "Tripping balls" is a phrase that the Doogie Howser guy uttered in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle . Which is funny, because whiteturtle posted something about How I Met Your Mother several hours later, but above loneal's comment, so it looks like she's picking up on the Neil Patrick Harris reference. Anyway, I'm afraid you lost the culture wars this time.
lateadopter:
Oh, I know what tripping balls means, I was "correcting" hedonismbot by making his surprisingly non-sexual post into a sexual post, but horribly so. Stereo's version was much better.
Unless you're saying "tripping balls" is also a sexual term nowadays...I just know it as anothe way of sayin "high as fuck," but more related to an acid trip, right?
Hah! I didn't even notice the strikethrough through the T there. Perhaps others didn't as well.
I had a feeling that might be the case. I gamble, I lose.
Par for the course!
dude ambien will fuck you up.
case in point:
I was staying with my parents this summer (all the time waiting to get back up here to school), and I'd been prescribed ambien a few months prior when I began to sleep through classes to the point where I was unable to sleep unless it was classtime. But I digress. One night my mother comes in the room and asks me if I've taken my ambien that night, and I respond that I hadn't. She then tells me the following story:
The night before, she was lying in bed unable to sleep around 2am when she heard what sounded like someone pissing. On the carpet. In the hall outside of her room. She figured it was her 5year-old grandson that was staying with us at the time, and he'd just been unable to get to the bathroom. At that point, I walked into her room.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm here."
"Have you taken your ambien?"
"yeah..."
"Go to bed."
"okay!"
I remembered NONE of this. Suffice it to say that I am no longer on ambien.
If I remember right, the "Ambien" defence has been used in murder trials. (Something to do with sleep driving and killing someone not smart enough to know that the driver of that car was actually asleep.)
I believe it. My roommate tells me one night I told him, excitedly, "I can see music!"
This is extremely true. I have never seen music per se, but the room gets lighter and darker depending on what I am reading/seeing/feeling at the moment. Mild temporary synesthesia hurrah!
Have you tried booze? Lots of booze makes me sleepy.
Try booze.
Cool. I remember (sometime last century) waking my sister from an afternoon nap to have her ask me to put the lids back on the watermelons.
I said, "What?"
She said, "Huh?"
I said, "What watermelons?"
She had no idea what I was on about. I wonder how that scene would play out on Ambien?
I'm pretty high right now, could someone else make the incest joke for me?
I fucked your sister.
I'm sorry. Pretty pathetic, huh? Those were desperate times. . . .
I got double vision from Ambien once. That drug is fucking crazy; it's like the drug you take in Grand Theft Auto II . Didn't help my insomnia much, though. Hey there cannabis, tuck me in and be my breakfast.
You take drugs in that game? All I remember is turning a bunch of Hari Krishnas into hotdogs for the Russian Mafia.
DO you mean GTA III? And what drug is that?
Uh, you know, the one with the thing.
Thanks.
I believe it was called "DRUGS".
The last one they had drugs in was Vice City, I believe. Also, coincedentally, the game I consider to be the apex of the franchise as far as Fun goes.
No, you're thinking of GTAIV. If not GTAIV, than San Andreas. If not SA, then GTAIII. VC is right above 2 and 1 and the london expansion packs.
There was marijuana in SA. But it was during a mission.
What do I know though? I only play Super Mario 64.
That's right, son. You don't be playing those "devil" games now!
How about that game you and your buddies play, Daddy? The one with the gun . . ..Russian Roullette? Is that a devil game?
Lad, that isn't a gun. But it certainly is loaded. And you shouldn't be peeking at the games your dad and I play with each other
Actually, that was spin the bottle with a handgun.
Someone had to do your mother.
Do her hair?
I don't like that, Daddy. I know that it's a sin, but Mommy's hair is really gross and the last time she made me do her hair I felt like throwing up a little bit.
I'm sorry Mom.
I don't know why I feel like answering your unanswered question this late in the game, sje46, but the drug to which fuckyoufriday refers is in GTA III. It's a big pill that makes everything around you move...real...slooooowwww. If memory serves, I think there was one such pill just outside the police station, which was a recipe for hours of mindless, pig-slaughtering fun.
I always assumed that it was supposed to be PCP. That's what I eat when I'm slaughtering pigs, anyway.
that was GTA II. but you know that already.
But when in GTAII? How would they even show if you were high?
oh, no, not the drug part, but the hot-dog part.
This is far from the worst first post ever.
In fact your post, the second, far outclasses it.
dose it maek u cryyyy lol egel
I don't know Loneal. I reckon some anti-comics are pretty laugh out loud. Neil Hamburger and Sam Simmons and the like.
I saw Neil Hamburger start off Frenzal Rhomb's set one year at the Big Day Out. Ninety percent of the crowd had no idea what was going on. It was brilliant.
Sounds like it was Kaufman-esque.
Pretty much the grandaddy of it was Kaufman. I have the DVD I'm from Hollywood. Kaufman and his Intergender Wrestling Belt (he would only wrestle women and offered his hand in marriage and one million dollars to the woman who could beat him).
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now Andy, did you hear about this one?
Kaufman was absolutely insane! I'm still not sure that I buy that he died; if he did it's a sad world indeed.
Yeah, he toured with Bungle as well. That shit was so fucked up. First time I saw him, I had no idea what was going on either and hated it. Then got the groove later.
Oh dogg Hamburger is my main man. I actually made a light reference up there ^ somewhere, or maybe yesterday. The anti-humor is so anti, it is humorous.
Yes, this was the one labelled "anti-funny." I'm not entirely sure it was meant to be derogatory. I think the label indicated that it was funny but in a totally different way from most comic strips.
I mean, I can't imagine GQ would commission and publish an Achewood strip just to show people that Achewood sucks.
It probably meant "anti-funny" as in "anti-joke".
I don't think it was meant to be derogatory either, I was just joshing.
So, this was really in GQ? No, I honestly don't know.
Yes it was. The August edition.
