Hulk Hogan does this thing where he preens and poses for the audience when he is wrestling, and it involves twirling his hand in the air and then puts it up to his ear as if to say "I can't hear you, cheer louder."

If it makes you feel better, I totally misread the zeitgeist when joining Acheworld, and used the least visually appealing picture of myself in an attempt to more succesfully blend in with "The Internet Crowd".
Little did I know that every achewoman was a babe, and the dudes did not all have neckbeards (bloatees if you will). Sadly, now I cannot change my avatar, for fear of being accused of whoring.
So anyway, I just realised I didn't adress your point at all, and probably did not reassure you whatsoever. Think of it this way- Axl Rose has gotten laid more than once, and he is a less than attractive man, so there is hope for uggo's everywhere.
Note- I do not believe you are an uggo. More like a Canadian Billy Corgan!
If it makes you feel better, I totally misread the zeitgeist when joining Acheworld, and used the least visually appealing picture of myself in an attempt to more succesfully blend in with "The Internet Crowd".

if you changed your avatar i would not accuse you of whoring. also it's too pixelated to really know what you look like, so it would be a legit decision.

Yea, seems like a contrived narrative device, which is fine because I like David Foster Wallace and such.
I don't mean to be patronizing, but I can tell you something I've realized recently that it would have spared me a lot of grief to realize earlier in life: EVERYONE IS FAKE. There is no such thing as authenticity. From your childhood, you learn your actions, words, and mannerisms by mimicking others. Then when you realize that other people have minds just like yours through which they perceive you just as you perceive them, you inevitably orient yourself towards being perceived a certain way in order to function in society. And that IS who you "really are", because after all, you've still made the choice that you want to be perceived as one thing and not another, and in your striving to achieve the image that you've chosen you ARE being 'yourself' in the fullest sense that anyone can be. All you can hope for is to be more introspective and aware about the choices you're making.
God I sound like Dr. Phil or something. Um...omg stfu ur posts r 2 long!

True dat! What Catgrl is describing however sounds like a sort of intensity that is seen in such extreme conditions as bipolar disorder, or an LSD trip. This really complicates the task of gaining introspection and self-awareness.
I wonder if perhaps people who are hyper sensitive to their own emotions and emotional perceptions are not, perhaps, somehow, by definition, inherently less fake than the average Joe?
On this subject, lately I have been reading this book. I totally dig it. It's changed my life. I would send a copy to Roast Beef if I knew his address.

It's incredibly hard to look someone in the face and say "No thanks." Also, girlchildren are often raised to be meek and mild, and to always be looking out for the interest of others. Mostly, that is.
The more you ask people out, the more you get rejected/have to reject, the easier it is to do it/read others. So if it is a couple of people who don't date all that often, it's going to be a lot of awkward hemming and hawing until one of them gives up.
The best tip for ladies OR gentleman is to just not return phone calls. There isn't any misreading that, and you aren't leading anybody on. Of course, I'm speaking on would-be-courters that you don't really know. If it's a friend or something, I guess the situation would be much different.

Also, when you say, "No thanks," (or, "I have a boyfriend," or "I'm just going to dance with my friends right now, if you don't mind") and they keep persisting, then what do you do? I'm too awkward to get firm about it, and it has led to some really uncomfortable situations. The uncomfortable quality of those sorts of interactions probably should make me want to be more direct, but instead I end up being indirect in an effort to avoid the whole mess.

How about you print cards, and if necessary you just hand them one? I'm thinking business card-sized, with the message:
face: I Am Sorry I Do Not Wish To Know You Better Or Otherwise Interact With You (Sorry).
reverse: I Am Not Especially Sorry About This. All The Best.

The secret to these kind of situations is to never speak to anyone or look anyone in the eye ever. Avoiding social situations all together gets you out of some awkward ones. Take it from me, it works!

Totally! You can either be really firm and upfront about it-- in which case, it'll turn out that the guy was really nice and sensitive and you'll see his heart break when you shut him down. Or you can be nice about it, in which case he'll turn out to be a creepy stalker who has no concept of social interactions, who follows you everywhere and won't take a hint.

As a dude who regularly talks to girls he does not know (what can I say, I love tits), whenever I get a "thanks but I'm not interested" (or anything from the same ballpark), I usually (if I think it won't come off as too odd) ask what it is that creates the lack of interest. This serves the important purpose of not having "not interested" be the last thing that is said between you two, and is sort of the closing equivalent of an icebreaker, a less abrupt, more conversationalist way of finishing a chat.
Occasionally there is also the secondary purpose of sparking a conversation, which is always nice. Amongst the many "have a boyfriends", "I'm gay" and "no hablo ingles", there is the off chance that a conversation will bloom, and then later, make-outs.
At the very least, I won't feel like I got shut down, which is a feeling that sucks.

Yeah I had to shut a guy down a few weeks ago and he pulled that on me-- as if it wasn't horrible enough to have to look at a guy that I could tell liked me and tell him I wasn't feeling it (NOTE: I am not a bitch, I did not use those exact words), but then instead of letting us both go our separate ways and end the awkwardness, he just stood there with puppy dog eyes and wanted me to explain it. Really? You want me to tell you that I am in no way attracted to you? You want me to tell you that I can't look at you without thinking of my oldest friend who I've known since I was 10? You want me to say that your lack of impetus is unattractive, you aren't that good at conversation, I don't like having to shoulder 70% of the conversational burden, and neither your job nor your hobbies are interesting to me?
I don't even remember what I ended up stammering out. Boys, when you ask this question, do you actually want an answer?

Seriously . If you are being forward enough to be picking up women and not in "making friends" mode, be forward enough to walk away. It shows you are needy to be all "why don't you like me?" If you're so uncomfortable with yourself that you need your personality evaluated by a stranger, you really shouldn't be looking to hook up with someone until you figure that shit out.
Respect yourself more than that ...

But what if it's something stupid that you could easily remedy, like what if you smell like squirrels but because of a childhood incident you have some kind of disability that prevents you from sensing squirrel smells, or you've had toilet paper stuck to your shoe for the past 5 years and no one had the heart to tell you because they thought it was intentional? Then you could just peel it off your shoe and be like "oh man, no wonder you didn't wanna go out with me!" and you could both have a good laugh before proceeding to make out.

yes. also statistically unlikely is that as a large SUV comes to a stop before a cross-walk where several blind nuns are crossing the street while pushing a baby carriage, some frightened squirrels scamper such that one squirrel each, for a total of four, arrives under each tire of the SUV, resulting in an out-of-control skid on all four tires.
Given enough squirrels, blind nuns, SUVs, and time, sooner or later this should happen.

Yeah, the only thing worse than being asked that is if, after you have that awful conversation, the guy asks if you could go out just one more time because he really thought there was a connection.
...What I'm saying is that this is what that guy said to me, after he asked me to explain why I didn't want to date him. And it was bad. And none of you should ever do that. Achillesbow, if you're concerned you smell or whatever, ask a dear friend that's a girl that you don't plan to date. Ask her to be honest and she will tell you the truth, if it's something that can be changed. But it's *never* good news to pull these shenanigans on someone you're dating/being rejected by.

Well, joking aside, the things you hope to find out could be things that only people whom you approach romantically and who haven't known you for a long time would notice. The way you interact with your friends is completely different.
And seriously, I mean why not ask? I mean all I've heard so far is ladies complaining about how uncomfortable it made them , but if the girl's already said she's not interested, it can't really get any worse, so what do I care how she feels? It's not like I'd want to be 'friends' with her (see above). I guess that means I'm partly motivated by a need for a passive-aggressive form of pathetic faux-revenge, which isn't something to be proud of, but hell, it's true.
As for the other argument, that you don't want to hear her reasons because they will make you feel bad, the point is that you already feel bad and already assume that she's thinking bad things about you. Plus, I'm the kind of guy who looks at things like 2girls1cup and swap.avi even after people tell me "trust me, you don't wanna see it" because I figure if it's out there, I might as well know. So the same would apply here.
I guess the point is that I think it's legitimate to ask the question if you have reason to suspect that there's some kind of common pattern to your romantic failures that you can't figure out on your own. Like for example, some of you are hella feeding my ego and telling me I'm attractive and whatnot, which is nice and all, and though I may not fully agree I must admit I don't see anything horribly wrong with how I look, but then in REAL LIFE it's seriously like I have something stuck to my shoe all the time or like I'm completely ignorant of some rule of conduct that everybody else knows. And I know that by now you're probably looking at this post and thinking I'm a little crazy and over-analytic and maybe that's actually the problem, but I don't think I really express this in everyday life, and if I do, I'd like to know how so I can stop or hide it better or whatever.
So yea, I mean obviously if you are too bothered by the question you can always just walk away and choose not to answer it and there's nothing we can do to force you, so I don't see why there's a problem with just asking, but also I think it's a legitimate question that people could consider answering more often and not just dismiss as something ridiculous. This is all theoretical, by the way, because I've never even had the balls to ask that question - I usually just break off all contact immediately so as to forget my shame. But it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to know.

The amount of things we do or avoid doing to avoid being or making others uncomfortable has crippled gender relations under its weight.
I know we've been raised to be positive, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, think about other people's feelings etc, but we (and by we I ESPECIALLY mean the group we seem to have here) seem to spend so much time thinking about the possible ramifications of possible[/] permutations of [i]possible conversations with people we catch passing glimpses of on public transport, that friendships and life passes us by. All because it's the height of rudeness to be honest about each other, or about ourselves. It's aberrant behaviour to reveal anything true or real about oneself.
It's OK to be rude, and it's not rude to be rude.

In some ways you're right, in some ways you aren't. Even though she's rejecting you, you are effectively torching any chance you might have of ever getting with her in the future. But I go back to what I said about female friends, because though I agree with you on the "nothing to lose" front, if you ask a girl who's just dumped you to tell you why, her mind is still going to be tied up with her carefully worded dumpage and her imminent need to flee. The vast majority of things that might be scaring off a girl, a female friend will be able to see and tell you. Plus, if she's a good friend she's probably seen the way you act around girls anyway. You *are* good-looking so there *may* be something you do socially to turn girls away, I have no idea. But whatever it is, if it is something at all, I bet a good girl-friend will be able to tell you in a much more productive and less painful way for all involved.

On top of this, sometimes, there is no explanation other than "not interested in you at this present moment in time."
A person shouldn't have to explain their every thought and feeling to every Joe Schmo who walks in and out of their life. I'd like to know what exactly about me it is that some people have found ungirlfriendable throughout the years, but I'll handle it like everyday people; crying in the shower until I pass out.

This is true as far as it goes, and like someone above said, if you're just going up to girls you don't know and asking them out then you really have no right to inquire further. I'm just thinking that maybe you might owe some explanation to a guy with whom you've hung out on more than several occasions and whom you've gotten to know pretty well and whom you just maybe might have been leading on without fully realizing it and he kinda knew that deep down but was still willing to go grocery shopping with you and accompany you to see terrible experimental theater productions where the actors just read out of a book and change roles FOR NO GODDAMN REASON, all because he was desperately smitten by you and hadn't learned his lesson even though this same thing had happened to him at pretty much every stage of his life. Maybe.

Having never needed to pick up a girl in a bar in my life -- I think you are all way overthinking this whole dating thing. You can hook up at closing time with the drunkest woman left, sure, but what sort of life is that? Why not go for quality, someone who has the same interests and who you meet in a non-threatening situation? And if that doesn't work, online dating works great, at least for older people who can be a bit honest about themselves. Just be your charming self and never be predatory and she will appear.

Ingredients
* 1 gallon whole milk
* 4-6 tablespoons lemon juice
* cheese cloth (or a clean, non-terry dishtowel)
* colander
Directions
1. Bring the milk to a boil slowly (not a rolling boil), being careful not the let it burn. On my electric stove I turn it to the dead-middle heat setting. Stir constantly, scraping the sides of the pot to keep the milk from burning to the sides. The milk will foam a little. If it foams too much, scrap it off with a spoon.
2. Add the lemon juice, a little at a time until curds begin to form. Once the curds have completely separated, the whey (the liquid that is left) should appear nearly transparent.
3. Pour the curds into a cheese cloth set in a colander, and let the whey drain away. The whey can be discarded, or used in a recipe that calls for water to be added during cooking.
4. Once the curds have drained and cooled some, tie the cheese cloth around the curds and squeeze out as much remaining liquid as possible. If you are not satisfied that enough liquid has been removed, place the cheese cloth containing the curds between two boards with something heavy on top, and incline the boards slightly so that the liquid drains off.
5. Once all of the liquid is removed, place the cheese in the fridge to cool. Once it feels firm to the touch it is ready to be used in whatever way the recipe calls for. I like to fry it in oil or ghee and eat it as a snack.

cheese cloth is a loosely woven cloth that allows things to breathe but still covers them
and cilantro and coriander are technically the same plant, but NOT the same herb, as cilantro is the immature plant. they taste different.

I don't know much old stuff but I have been digging on Sloppy White's mixtapes the past week ... if you Google him he has some to download for free too. While I'm being long-winded: Deltron 3030, the new Public Enemy album, DJ Kicks' DJ mix series (especially Nightmares on Wax's)... these are good albums. Also checkout Zion I, Outkast, Gnarls Barkley, DJ Spooky, Paul Wall, hella Kool Keith (Dr. Octagon), Haiku D'Etat... (if you feel like it).

Instead I might buy a lily named Apricot Sparkles, which kind of sounds like a good name for one of the strippers to which Ray offers money.
Come on baby! Take Ray's money! UNH!

An intestine and the letter D? No doubt a depiction of death, and also a reflection of man's intensely corporeal nature, despite all his literary and intellectual endeavours, which is all the more relevant as fewer and fewer people in western society produce anything other than information and documents.

It occurs to me that in my life it would be more useful to know Irish than French. No-one I meet is ever likely to be impressed by my French (it is terrible, and often theirs is not, and even if it is, they know plenty of people who know it well, but no-one speaks it regularly such that a basic grasp is any use). By contrast, plenty of people in America like to imagine that they are Irish.

Your sentiment is commendable, but even if you spoke Irish to someone in Ireland itself (never mind an Irish-American) there's a fairly good chance they wouldn't have good enough Irish to answer you properly.
Even so, it's so unusual to see someone non-Irish speaking the language that you'd easily achieve your objective of impressing everyone.

A quick note: I find it interesting that the legally Irish folk among us are quick to call the language "Irish" where us norteamericanos (or at least where I'm from) for whatever historical reason call it "Gaelic". Gaelic of course also encompassing Scotland and parts of France. History! You fickle beast!

Actually, the name of Irish in Irish is Gaelige. "Gaelic" in English may refer to that language, or to the distinct celtic language of the Scots.

Might be because most of the Irish who emigrated to North America did so before the Irish Literary Revival, which closely associated the language with Irish nationalism. Before then the identities of "Gael" and "Irish" were less synonymous - the former applying more to the relatively poor, predominantly Celtic westerners on the island, and it was they who were more likely to head across the Atlantic. Many spoke Irish as a first language, and as "Gael" was the only word that then existed in that language to describe themselves, they stuck to it. Same with "Gaelic" for the language, many would never have used any other word. So it would've made sense that they considered it to be the more appropriate term, and kept it on in the new world.
Or it might be that Americans are just tryin to sound fancy.

Is there a difference between being a sex offender and being a sexual offender?
I imagine in the former case, the word "sex" describes the type of offense, whereas in the latter you are just a sexual person who also happens to offend.

Japan, having ruined me, has made me associate renal failure with Kana, Little Sister. It's a game where you play a guy whose sister's kidneys are experiencing renal failure. The goal of the game is to have sex with your sister before she dies. I wish I was kidding. (I'm not.)

Woke up barefoot three blocks away from my apartment at four in the morning with two broken feet, ripped up clothes (no seat in my jeans anymore), dim memories of jumping fences all night, and one singular memory of socking my friend right in the jaw during rush hour in broad daylight of the city's busiest intersection.
To be fair, he was just as drunk as I was.

What I really loved was how Pat decided to "punish" Cornelius by not inviting him to his next vegan dinner party, which basically helps Cornelius, as he's now the only person who doesn't have to come up with an excuse for why he can't attend.

Okay, awesome story: There is a store near where I live called The Romantic Depot, which, for those of you that don't know, is an adult-type store, all late-night television ads featuring porn stars (fully clothed, mind you), and above it's storefront hangs a small billboard for a hardware-type place called SCREWS AND MORE. That always tickles my funny bone when I pass it.

Anyway, I don't think today is a good example. It's basically been a 'let's get to know each other' circle-jerk, which is good because after all this blows over I expect we'll all be a lot more civil to each other.

As much as I love trying to be cool on Assetbar, this is getting a bit out of hand. That is why I just made an IRC channel for achewood. If anyone wants to try this out, join #achewood on Slashnet. Hopefully we can move the less relevant ramblings there, and keep assetbar from getting further out of control. I used to have a nice little .txt file for explaining the intricacies of getting an IRC client and getting it working, but I lost it. If anyone is interested but is an IRC noob, uhm, I'd be glad to help, just let me know.

In the meantime, just soak up the lovely atmosphere, and enjoy the unforeseen attractiveness of your fellow Achewood enthusiasts. I know I'm enjoying it; some of you guys are just delicious.

Yeah, I know that it kinda sucks not having everything committed to the eternity of the internet, but I think having a place for more vapid conversation to exist could help keep assetbar strong.

Dear pretty lady,
There is something about you. I realised your true beauty even through the internet. A fool would have missed it...

Man, I leave to go drink all weekend, and now I have to show my face on the internet. This message board is the party where everyone gets really drunk and is like what do your boobs look like and then everyone is naked. I don't hate those parties, but there is always someone who ends up naked who is really uncomfortable with it. I am one of those people at this particular party. But, now I am showing you my face.

Part of the internetness of the internet is being able to say "fuck you" in new and inventive ways and remain relatively consequence-free: the dude can't come over and rearrange your body parts and you conscience, if you have one, never takes a single hit.
Well, I don't think anyone is capable of reaching through the internet and strangling anyone else, but now that you have a face on a comment I'm willing to bet it's a little hard to smirk and say, "Aw, fuck you."
Not that anyone would ever do that, of course. I just note that there's far fewer lames today.

My last girlfriend, a gorgeous, red-headed dancer who broke my heart had a pair of perky "tart-and tinies" (Hilarious!) and I loved them.
If this is creepy, I am sorry, but I don't want you to think low of Breast Men, or feel bad about yourself, even in any minor way.
Looking at my avatarpic, it does kinda come off as creepy' though.

That's because any woman that is in any way good looking is either there because their boyfriend dragged them or looking for Archies, plushies and/or bringing their kids. So to have a good-looking lady wanting a comic is so ridiculous it catches us for a loop.

What, exactly, defines a fetish? Is it like phobias, in that it has to be irrational? Like, one can be frightened of spiders, yeah, that's a little irrational, but you can't have a crossing-a-highway-in-the-middle-of-the-night phobia, because that's completely rational.
So one can't have a "naked lady" fetish. That's like saying "I have a fetish for sex that I enjoy." (Conceivably, one could have a fetish for sex that one explicitly does not enjoy. That would be irrational.) So where exactly does one draw the line at rational and irrational when it comes to attraction? Certainly, there's physical characteristics (which are being heavily scrutinized at the moment, hem-hem) and emotional and mental characteristics which one person would find compatible and stable were the two to mingle every day life. Oftentimes the division between physical and mental characteristics isn't even there, really - stature of shoulders speaks of strength, the shape of eyes and cheekbones denote sensitivity, feet may, to one person, indicate delicacy, artistry, grace. But any of these attractive characteristics can be canceled out by another singularly unattractive quality, I should think.
A real fetish, then, cannot be canceled out. It doesn't matter who happens to be, say, naked but wearing tennis shoes and socks, if it's your fetish you're immediately attracted. It's irrational in that it persists against all reasonable indications of character or physicality.
Anyways, that's my small thesis about the line between a fetish, which is a minor detail that forces the attractee to ignore all major ones, and taste, in which physical and mental characteristics are translated back and forth by the viewer to denote stability, growth, and "beauty."
Also there's just the really good fuck. Which doesn't even need a thesis really, because one can't say enough for it.

What you are describing is either preference or kink, depending on where you go with it, but as far as I know (and I am a regular Savage Love reader who has also been interviewed in Playboy for my advice column) a fetish is a sexual attraction to an *object,* independent of its actual use in sex. I.e. you're kinky if you like your girlfriend to wear those tennis socks and shoes, but you have a fetish if just looking at the those socks and shoes turns you on, even when she's not wearing them. Etc. etc. etc.
Between my picture, me talking about my ass a little ways up the page and now this, I'm feeling mighty exposed! It'll be good when tomorrow we go back to being pictures that live inside the internet and not human beings with faces.

For me, the grass was no greener on the other side of the fence. My best friend was jealous of the attention I got, and yet I was mostly unaware of it. For you see, what females took for unflappable aloofness and raw, primal class-clownism was really such powerful cluelessness about human interaction that I couldn't even display timidity with body language, let alone flirt.
All I knew was that I meekly burned for the shy, bookish girls, and yet I only ever got asked out by the outgoing, popular ones, whom I summarily turned down. (I mean, what could I do on a date with that cheerleader? We would have nothing to talk about. )
So basically, I had the same set of problems in high school as every nerdy guy.

I thought it was sorta sad that no one would buy him his own meal. I mean, if they got him a happy meal we would get a toy. Granted, he seems to enjoy his fries alot but it's the principle dammit.

"Spaghetti Philippo" is now part of my lexicon. It was very cute, and sort of sad, since he can't afford protein.
Also agree about the real faces making the Net a better place, if we could ever verify they are real.

well it was really neat at first seeing everyone's photo but now the novelty is wearing off, and the photos are actually, some of them, most of them, blurry masses of pixels that express less visual content than a well done avitar. I think that the mind must be programmed to absorb just tons and tons of information from a person's face... when that face is static and never flinching, never changing expression, then I think the mind kind of just stops seeing anything there at all. These damn face avitars need higher resolution, and if Assetbar won't allow that, well then, the face avitars need to be rotated daily to a new expression or angle of view.

Man....I was away for like a week and now I don't know what the FUCK is happening.
It's tempting to put my personal picture as my avatar and join in the fun. But I'm at work and can't be shitted doing so, so what can you do.
I'll see if I can scrounge up a picture of me wrapped in barbed wire, from my backyard wrestling days - if it still exists (possibly lost in the ether of CyberSpace. Or something else.
We'll see.
Nope. Google searched - you muthafuckas miss out on seeing a circa 2001 photo of my pasty white, shirtless and bleeding, barbed-wire covered, backwards hat and grinning like a mental patient 17-year-old self.
Besides, given the overwhelming manliness involved, I couldn't have guaranteed against spontaneous pregnancies, or any such case of the vapours amongst all you ladies out there.
Skradley, your homework is to make an animated gif of yourself doing the Ash head-nod.
That's dr skradley to you, 'boy!
But seriously, drskradley, you must do this--before I make a PDF archive of this Gamera-sized, 1800-plus-postings leviathon (an early test ran 292 pages!). Immortalizing that chin-butt would be S-mart.

Id like to think you put that suit on just for us. But you probably had that photo lying around I guess.

Go away for a weekend and all the kids play. Now I'll feel like a creep unless I have something current up there instead of hiding behind the veil of the cute baby duck. Male pattern baldness. Fear it.
I fear it more than I care to put into words, lest I summon it.
Okay, I'm in. This is me. Aren't I a catch? I look like I'm channeling the spirits of both Lyle and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Let's not forget the amazing tale of Poison Ivy/Dorian Gray/The Girl Who Sexually Gratifies Literature Fans. It might have been the best part!
Essentially, everybody on Assetbar knows everybody else on Assetbar a bit better than they did on Friday.
True, but what about those of us that went away for the weekend, and came back to this lovely "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" moment? What the dickens have you kiddies been up to? Has there been loud music? Dancing? Cigarettes? Necking ?
...Boning?
It looks like I missed something big! Damn having to go to interviews and have many drinks with friends later! (Both went well, by the way).

Six times!?

this may have been covered in a previous post... but I have SO MUCH CUBBIES FOR YOUR AVATAR, it brings great joy to my dreary existance :D
Tekende, for some reason I pictured you fatter. Don't take that the wrong way. Your new avatar is just surprisingly dashing, is all.
Ha, now that's an idea. I am the absolute antithesis of fat. I weigh less than 120 pounds.
Thanks.
Now what about you?
Tekende eat a sandwich
would you like me to make you a sundae? PUT WEIGHT ON I COULD CRUSH YOU
Be sure to have extra cheese, Tekende.
Some men would pay handsomely for that.
My creepy comments are extra super creepy with my grimacing mug next to them.
The tiniest Tekende!
Personally, I can't shake my impression of you as Gordon Freeman's younger, yet even more educated brother.
Though it'd work even better if your comments were all "..."
I had to look up Gordon Freeman on Wikipedia. And then I laughed inside.
Whoa, for serious?!
I have a really big thing for Gordon Freeman and in fact my boyfriend looks remarkably like him, as in people have remarked upon it, quite often. And I- I- I keep typing the beginning of this sentence and then backspacing out of there because it is far too weird to write about, even on this, the craziest of assetbar comments pages.
Anyway yeah I hadn't actually made the tekende-Freeman connection in my own mind but now edwell says it, it totally makes sense. And I already mentioned tekende being damn hot, so I'd better not creep him out further by saying it again.
It's not creepy. It's quite nice. It's giving me an Ego though.
You weigh more than me SCREW YOU!

To the men of assetbar's eternal credit, only jollysaintpete and the guy with the 2000 sunglasses have done this so far.

I assumed they'd use more language like "hai wanna cyber lol"
Yea, but that hardly makes it better. It's like "hey I'm gonna say this really forward thing in a kind of ironic way so that it can seem like I'm just joking and don't really mean it but I'd still be thrilled if you were actually to comply."

I was personally disgusted by your post because you spelt "bizzAY" wrong.
I think we should all be celibate, no matter how lovely we find the pictures of those to whom our sexual preference pertains.
If we were all celibate, maybe there would be world peace. I say this genuinely; hand on face, hope to die.
No, we need to have more sex and the world will be a better place. Do you know what people do when deprived of sex for long periods of time? They find god and then bomb the shit out of other people for suggesting that their way isn't the only way. Definitely needs to be more sex happening in the world.
Not simply "sex," but mutual intimacy is what's needed. If we all felt loved and cherished, why would we want to kill anyone?
You make a very good point sir, I tip my hat and raise my glass in salute! Chubbied as well.
Thanks, my chubby/lame ratio was getting down to 2:1 range.
This comment filled me with warm fuzziness. Hug and smooch for you!!!
at the last second i decided to go with the less generally accepted spelling. i was wrong to do this.
Dude, chill. Reading too much into everything is kind of a running theme on Assetbar, and the obvious irony is that I could only make such an observation based on an extrapolation of my own inner thoughts in similar situations. We're all guilty of this in some way shape or form, you just happened to be the most direct about it which is why people saw fit to just mention it. No one's offended - let's not ruin the general vibe.
Ok, I just realized the irony of my using irony as an excuse for pointing out the pointlessness of your irony. I'd make an apology card out of this, but it would probably be more like an apology essay. So yea, sorry about that, carry on.
it's okay. now, achilleselbow, let us get really bizzay
That was the closest I've ever gotten to having two dudes fight over me! Next time, I hope for more fisticuffs.
*punches jollysantpete in the rad chillies*
*knocks over a chair*
*attempts to hold back tekende and while shrieking "he's not worth it"*
SCREAM!!!!!!
*carefully rights chair before professorhazard notices*
*chants fight repeatedly at top of voice*
*walks in unaware of what's going on and gets hit in the face by a flying beer mug*
"promptly sits down on the floor, closes eyes, and takes a deep breath"
*knocks a table on it's side, hides behind it, brandishes two nickle plated revolvers*
*lets out a good eight second scream in strix22's meditating face, causing him to suffer a heart attack*
*rolls for initiative*
*wants to be part of whatever is going on*
*chats up the girl while the fellers nurse their wounds*
*walks in and trips on a carelessly discarded rollerskate*
BLAM!
MMmmm whacha say
MMMMmm that you only meant wellll
well of course you did
This is the best possible ending.
Ahhhhhh that is exactly what I was thinking!
*throws a beer bottle in a perfect spiral through the heads of all other suitors.*
But the rest of us have thought it. BTW, you're hot.
BTW, she's also 19...
I appear to have given you two chubbies at the same time!
If I were attempting to conceive for a child, tonight would be a good night.

I tried to find what you said funny but I really couldn't. I'm sorry. :(
I find your apology strangely heartwarming. A chubby it is.
I find your icon strangely heartwarming. That is what they get for their actions being so badly conveyed.
Thank ye. The way I see it, Violence Females Cuteness = a worthwhile icon, even if it's silly in essence.
There was supposed to be plus signs in there. I'm not sure if I forgot them or they were eaten. Just pretend they're there.
They were eaten. Welcome to the A.B., bitch.
dudes..... Putin is on the assbar.. that's really him! it.. it must be right? don't get him mad
Quick! Hide the journalism!
D-d-d-d-drubby!
I least I now know what to name my band.
"They Were Eaten"?
Actually, that's kind of cool.
Ha, actually "Violence Females Cuteness" was what I was referring too, but now I can't decide between the two.
Thank you for trying.
That, and the lames that the first psot usually gets.
It brings a tear to my eye.

it's cause your icon looks like kari from mythbusters. everyone likes HER. and you too though.
I don't really think that she looks like Kari from MythBusters.
But that is a compliment from me, because I hate Kari from MythBusters with a burning, firey, somewhat abnormal passion.
So hey, that's a goood thing!
wait what's the problem with kari?
I actually like Kari, she used a parasol in one episode for sun protection and that's all it takes to win me over.
But I think the fact that you said "actually" kind of lends to the fact that there might have originally been some hesitation?
I don't know. To me, she just sort of seems like the type of girl that girls love to hate.
Not to mention the fact that she's begging to let Tory (and, not to mention, Adam) into her pants on a regular basis.
Are you saying that she's a slut? That girls love to hate girls who are sluts?
Coz I'm all about sluts.
No, I dont' hate her because she's a slut. I have many friends who pride themselves in their whoredom, and I support them to the end.
I dislike her because she's annoying, and everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
When she speaks, is it the sound of glass breaking and birds burning in a shoebox?
I just imagined an eight-year-old Macaulay Culkin saying that and had my first laugh of the day. Thank you, thank you so much. A chubby to you.

Thegoodwillgirl's foxy handfacebabe photo says NO to you, eyeball.
I will sacrifice foxiness to know that she is a piece of garbage, and I am not.
Maybe you should do what men do when confronted with such a woman, don't pay attention to anything she says
I might take this opportunity to note that I wholeheartedly regret sharing the fact that I don't find her appealing.
I apologize, comrades. I knew not what I did.
Kari is nerdbait, and you insulted her on the internet.
I do not condone peoples' reaction, but I must say you should have seen it coming.
I am just sorry I brought her up in the first place. Sighz.
That's ok, I'll back you up. Fuck Kari. There it is done. I may love me some "loose women" but she is not the girl I want to be gettin' mad rutty with in the library.
There should be more people who are all about sluts.
i looked her up on the internet and the second result is a topless picture of a lady that is supposedly her. is it for real?
I'm not certain but the video of her heiny sure is!!
The people on digg or reddit mostly thought not.
For somebody who was away for the weekend without an internet connection (me), what the fuck happened here?
One lady decided to do a pastiche of Heccibiggs avataricon, then another, then it snowballed.
To run with the cool crowd, you need an avataricon of your face being touched by your hand.
Basically, I rule Assetbar now.
Welcome to my kingdom.
(I am kidding, by the way. This whole thing is very overwhelming and I'd be a terrible ruler.)
You should have taken the free fawning while you could.
I'm having the same reaction, jsut trying to figure out where and when this whole thing started, musta been on Saturday.
oh because those are some rude titties.
But thegoodwillgirl! Look!
https://www.zimwiz.com/gallery/kari/08_kari_byron_umbrella_1?full=1
Outside: I'm Sorry That I Said I Don't Like Kari From Mythbusters.
Inside: I Mean Clearly That Was Ridiculous She Is Actually The Best Thing That Has Ever Happened To Modern Television.
Apology accepted, now are you interested in my new venture achewoodparasolbabes.com Y/N
GoodwillGirl circles: Y.
im a year late for this bus, but im going to throw this out there anyway: when AFI played warped tour, davey havok walked around with a parasol to protect his creepywhite gothy skin from the sun.
Kari from MythBusters is God's Miracle and this is the last thing anyone should have to say on the matter.
My feelings on that Mythbuster are pro, for the most part. Every now and then she will say something and I will think oh my god she is a idiot , and I will dislike her until I forget that incident.
To quote lawbot:
YES
Girl can cold build a rocket-launcher and fire a machine gun at a tree until that tree is in half.
I'd totally tap Kari. C'mon, you guys telling me you don't find MythBusters the least bit erotic? You know, in that elegant, classical way.
Man you can say what you want about ladies as long as you add on the caveat "elegant classical way" in the postscript.
CLITS
LOVE THEM
...in that elegant, classical way.
See?
That one James Bond special, she was wearing a dress... I totally shut the blinds and lit some candles.
seonded. I'm all about Grant. Science is hell of sexy.
Please don't tell my mom i said this.
What she thinks you're a lesbian? Or she hell of hates science?
She's hoping i'll take up with a normal dude. I met my last boyfriend in Theatre Tech. She only wants grandbabies that don't get wedgies.
Side Note: Girls seem to dig me more than guys do. It is a serious problem. Would that i were a lesbian.
I have the same problem with guys. But I am not gay. It really doesn't help me at all. But I guess it is flattering, in a weird way.
Not in a wierd way, just flattering. I'm flabbergasted that anyone takes offense to being hit on by anyone at all. It is a complement.
The few times I have been hit on by dudes (raves are good places for this, it seems) I have been happy. "Yay," I think, "someone likes me!"
It just annoys me, but not because I have an inherent problem with being hit on dudes. The situations where this happens, I will be at a crowded party and feel someone cop an ass-grab. I turn around, and I can't identify the culprit, and all the guys immediately behind me are dudes. And I'm like "awww"
It's not the idea of being hit on by guys, it's just that the situations build my hopes up and turn out sort of disappointing.
When I say "guys immediately behind are dudes," guys = people.
I hated that snow monster SO MUCH it creeped the fuck out of me how he'd just come running out of nowhere and kill me when I just wanted to ski and avoid trees and rocks and stuff
MOOOOOM!
Charchar wants to kiss scientists on the titties!
(I know titties really doesn't apply here, but I'm not about to suggest that an innocet assetbabe wants to kiss a TV dude on the dingdong)
RABBIDPANDA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE IT'S A TRAP
...Are you Pete Cox: Football Hero?
I was, once. So long ago.
this meeting, this is fate
rabbidpanda, you are a good egg.
Thirded? I loves me some Asian nerds.
Actually, thegoodwillgirl, you kind of loook like Kari from MythBummers.
And yours looks like something Mythbuster's ran over with a tank.

I think assetbar can just tell when you're being an asshole.
v-chub for both the comment and the "dr. strangeglove" name.
but i don't (usually) feel like i'm being an asshole on assetbar, seeing that i only lame comments that really deserve it. my lame-to-chubby ratio is okay (chubby-to-comment, not so much) but i have been only allowed lames few and far between.
and don't even get me STARTED on my lack of spam marking privileges.
I wish I had a chubby left.
I feel like I should lame her, to be rebellious.
But what has she ever done to me?
Nothing I tell you. Nothing.
besides, you are the good will girl.
Yes. I will pretend that I actually possess some good will, and that I don't just work at a Goodwill store.
Although that's the case. *smile emoticon.*
i figured as much.
A comment left by theirateturk was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by straw, putamare, mortshire, loneal)
Please do not commingle breasts and shit in the same thought process: who knows what sort of conversation you might start, and I think Assetbar has been through enough this week.
It is a wonderful thing when breasts enter folds, though.
Or exit them.
I wonder what would happen if hecci's avatar wasn't a picture of her. How would people respond? What would happen if I made mine a picture of myself? I'm gonna do it!
these are the famous last thoughts of a lot of women who get abducted on the internet. On the INTERNET !
Autre, I think we have to use cute picture of ourselves with our hands on our cheeks now. Do you have one of those? Coz I don't. Maybe you can lend me one.
Unfortunately, I'm only capable of sneering, scowling, and leering. :_(
I've got a patented self-conscious smirk. Between the two of us, we can make this work.
Man if all the ladies used cute pics of ourselves we could run this joint! Or at least the part of it that likes cute pics of ladeez. I don't know what we would do with it though.
My avatar is a picture of myself, but I am not a lady.
:(
that is an odd thing to make a sad face about. Did your parents want a girl or something?
are you really Bill Hicks?
is your head that small?
and yellow.
perhaps he just wishes he were a lady. being a lady is fantastic.
Yes, yes, it is.
I love having boobs of my very own.
WOAH you went back!
Well, I did say that Kitty Nom Nom would return Monday (today).
I know some people want to keep theirs up longer, but I am feeling a bit exposed anyways. I need to hide behind my corn!
Corn? You live in Iowa?
Haha, NO
I live in Southern California. My usual thumbnailavataricon is a cat eating an ear of corn. That would be obvious if I didn't keep switching my pics around. Bad, bad me.
the cat eating the corn is one of my favorite things
It is cute though. All peeping in the windows of a tiny house, a look of malicious glee on your face...
My avatar is a machine gun covered in christmas lighting that i saw through a window in New York.
<---my avatar is a picture of my self...
I want to play!
Cute girls of Assetbar unite!
Looks like a face avatar party to me.
And I'd like to join.
Please to be touching face with hand.
There.
and a high-five for your extreme lack of punctuality!
True dat.
I ain't got wimmins junk down round my nethers, and I also have a hunch changing my profile pic away from the esteemed Mr. Fry may result in a backlash of surprising proportions. Otherwise I'd do it.
YOU DID IT
Dude, you startled him. Now it's gone back in.
Boooo I want to see SpinyNorman's face!
I know! Me too!
Norman, the girls of AssetBar have spoken...
Goddamn, that got noticed quick. All right, consider the profile pic reloaded.
Joy.
Changed it too a slightly more distinct picture... Am I just criminally retarded, or is it impossible to get these things to upload right?
If it's 50px wide but less than 50px tall when it displays it looks like a less-than-sightly arse, if that's what you mean.
You need to get a picture taken of yourself with Mr. Fry as this would meet everyone's needs. Possibly just photoshop him in there. Even better, photoshop Stephen Fry with his hand on your face.
Yes, this would be excellent.
Well, if Fry's gone, I may as well do away with Laurie.
Why are so many of you fellas good-looking? This is ruining my whole image of the internet.
Hey. Turns out Spinynorman's hot. I suspected as much.
Barrymorefm do you think that it is bad for a man to give another man kisses? Or do you agree that it is okay?
I think Spinynorman should help me work it out in a thorough and scientific way (ie. tongues).
Man I'd've chubbied you so much today 'Bot if that NO thing didn't remind me of a terrible human I once knew. I am morally wrong on this, I expect. But seriously, he was awful.
Y.... yay?
Luckily, the handface picture available to me is fairly lascivious (accidentally, of course). Now you must decide what to believe, Spinynorman. The picture or the floating box information? THE PICTURE OR THE FLOATING BOX INFORMATION? You can take this opportunity to review some stuff if you want. Either way works for me.
this is getting so hot.
This is about as confusing as when blahmargarky changed her icon to her dressed like Prince. All these different parts of my brain are arguing with each other over the evidence and whether it's rockin' man-dangle or not, sort of like an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street . There is nothing more sexual than a bunch of overweight, under-paid men standing around chainsmoking and yelling at each other.
Then there's always that one kind of weird detective with a big grin on his face who keeps saying, "Does it even matter anyway? Would you still go for it?" but yeah no one pays attention to that guy
so to answer your question yes
norman, i really thought your old avatar was you.
i'm sad that it isn't.
Naw. It's Stephen Fry.
What's funny though is that at least in every other strip one or two people ask who it is and if it's me. Then about sixteen people explain who Stephen Fry is.
Exactly!
Killinger too, all usually hiding behind Hypnotoad...
Oh, who am I kidding? A bunch of you all are hot.
And Loneal, I hope that's a real pic of you, cause it's awesome.
yeah i'm really pleased with what a good looking crowd we've got going here. was totally not expecting it.
also: agreed on the spinynorman cuteness.
Seconded. Kind of an 'aw shucks' sort of restrained ruggedness.
"Aw shucks" are indeed the words that have been circling in my head for the last hour or so.
I mean come on gang you guys are gonna make me go all pink and such, some fellows need a day's worth of preparation to accept a compliment out of fear of appearing Prideful
I know!! Seriously, Assetbar boys, why are you all so damn cute?!
I like to think I'm cute the same way a baby raccoon is cute - it's adorable and you want to cuddle it, but you don't because it's probably been going through your garbage all night and might have rabies.
...wait. That's not adorable not all.
it is adorable through the internet, because i can't smell you or catch your diseases.
We're developing that technology.
I've cheated.
I came late to the party but here I am in all my ned glory. I took the pic just for Assetbar and I should explain that I only recently saw Amelie so I will be making that face for a while.
Ned=nerd.
Ned is a nerd. Fuck that guy.
Ah, I was wondering. For a minute there I thought you were wearing a faded Celtic shirt in your photo or something...
(Explanatory note)
Some guys like California
Some guys dig Baltimore
I been with chicks in both locales
They all say that I snore
Hellofyellin Gets With Ladies But In The End They Do Not Like Him!
Yesss , I had a chubby left for you!
.............
that'swhatshesaid.
Word.
All right, there! An unpixelated handface picture! What do I do now? Just sit back and wait for the chubbies to roll in?
This was a silly project, Achewood Ladies.
This is a fantastic project.
It is a perfect...project!
Falseprophet, you look like the exact opposite of what I imagined you. I thought you'd be all gangly white kid, shagged hair all tumbling, all horn-rimmed glasses, a touch of contentment in your overall displeased demeanor.
The internet teaches you to stereotype?
It does indeed. I do have glasses but they are not horn-rimmed. I removed them for the picture because of the inevitable glare from the laptop screen beneath my webcam.
If it is any consolation, more than a few black people in my community mistake me for a white person after meeting me face to face.
I always figured falseprophet's first avatar (which be had up for a few months a while back) was a picture of him, and if I recall correctly, it wasn't a picture of a gangly white kid.
Plus he's renowned as the representative of Black America on AssetBar. How do you not know this .
Yeah that was me, from back when I had dreads. Had to cut em off after graduation. Then I did an interview for an internship at a tiny weekly newspaper and the other intern who had already been hired was a high school classmate who still had his massive jewfro. And I felt foolish.
I think it's because the jews have connections.
is ironic antisemitism still cool?
Much like ironic racism only works if you're black, I imagine ironic antisemitism only works if you're Jewish.
Otherwise they'll come in the night and drink the blood of your unborn children.
Sweet, does this mean I can make dirty wetback and fag jokes?
On the f*g end, you join the ranks of such as Scott Thompson.
On the w*tb*ck end, Carlos Mencia.
Choose wisely.
People sometimes think I look Jewish, so I can be like the Carlos Mencia of Jew-jokes!
I wish no one would be the Carlos Mencia of anything. Including and especially Carlos Mencia.
Maybe it's just the picture, but you look a lot like Jeff Goldblum to me.
Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park 1 or 2?
Err, I suppose the first one, since he was younger.
It was a compliment, by the way.
Well, as long as you aren't also freakishly tall.
awesome. I think 5'11 is an acceptable height for me to have.
achilleselbow, how you jewin'?
and by this I mean are you in the Jew crew? and by this I mean are you a Jew, because I am. Me and my brother constantly use 'jew' as a verb, usually in place of 'do' ( what did you jew last night? are you jewing anything good at the weekend? and so on)
gah, I mean 'my brother and I'.
I feel sort of oddly... almost guilty for contributing further to the absolutely ludicrous number of comments on this strip. When people come to read it later they will be all 'WHOA TOO MANY COMMENTS', so I dunno, I... I feel like I shouldn't comment unless I have something really funny to say? Does anybody else feel this way sometimes?
Yes, I do. I would hate to add another frivolous comment...
oh my dogg I do believe from your avatar that you are a good friend/coworker of my roommate. tell Billy I said hi >_<
Ha ha OK... mystery man.
Ha ha OK... mystery man.
I jew, but hey, what are jew gonna do?
I for one will practice my Mexican jewdo.
that's the stuff! Now you can move on to level 2, make ridiculous puns and claim that you want to start a tribute band called The Get Up Yids. Or Yid Row. Or The Kikey Kikey Bosstones. Jewey Jewis and the Jews was a good one too.
Vchub for Jewey Jewis and the Jews.
I'm always reluctant to answer this question because of the failure of most people to distinguish between the religion, the culture, and the ethnicity (if there even is such a thing). So I'm forced to say I'm an agnostic atheist who's half Ukranian jew, half Tajik... and all action.
Agnostic and atheist at the same time... That's a good trick
One word means you don't think it's possible to know for certain if there's a god, and the other means that you don't believe there's one - that is, you don't think it's likely and don't live your life as if you think that one exists.
I thought atheist meant that you believed firmly that there's no God, but I'm okay about being wrong now and then.
I wonder if there's a word for when you think that, instead of wearing a crucifix/star of David/whatever, you think you should be wearing a question mark, because you just don't know? Not that you think it's inherently unknowable , just that you personally haven't got a clue and aren't ever going to.
I always thought the difference was that one had a beard.
Even the women.
But here on the faith Venn diagaram do the beardnecks sit?
Diagram
Where , not here. I am obviously incapable of typing now, so I'm just going to stop
That's okay, I thought you were writing poetry.
Wearing a question mark would make you one of the lesser Dr Whos.
M... me?
anyone.
But YES YOU!
Oh wow, remarkably similar to me sort of! And yeah I know what you mean, I hardly ever meet anybody who ticks all the boxes of jewry (i.e. practising and by upbringing and so on) so I'm totally down with the idea that that's a difficult question and usually doesn't have a quick answer. Hecks, this is why we have Wikipedia: Who is a Jew? (Answer: your mum).
My own mum is a convert so there was always quite a bit of the ol' religion around when I was growing up, now I do not go to shul or believe that organised religion is particularly healthy or that it is possible to believe in an interventionist god, and so on, and wait a minute I'm not about to start discussing my intellectual outlook on religion on Acheworld, that ain't right, why did I even-
I'm Sorry I Asked You About Judaism On The Internet
(Inside) Oy gevalt, am I right bro?
Cutie picture space race! Uniting is for the 5's, divide and conquer for the 10's.
Well done Assetbar. Only a year to get the ladies of the community to reveal something real about themselves. A new internet record!
*flex the sexy muscle*
They ain't no lady
Like an Achewood Lady
Cause an Achewood Lady don't stop
Hellofyellin, you have the kind of face that a person can be enthusiastic about.
That was a very kind thing for you to say. You gets a chubby.
I'm really enjoying this face-thumbnail gig. Makes me feel closer to you folk. If any of you all are in New York City, we should hang.
I also love the regal manner with which you contemplate the ever-elusive mysteries of a slowly deepening Universe.
Yes. I think I am enthusiastic about your face, hellofyellin. And you look pretty stoked about it too! Hurrah!
WHY THANK YOU
(that is what my pic is saying)
You know, man or lady, I didn't really have any visual expectations about anybody here. But I'll be damned if I didn't [i]always[/] think that hellofyellin probably just happened to look exactly like Anthony Bourdain.
Always seemed to fit his comments really well, all talking about fine food and drink.
oh damn always
Fuckin' always .
(if I had Photoshop I'd have that picture of Shatner from Wrath of Khan all screamin' ALWAYS!!! right here )
Ok, this is gonna come out creepy no matter how many layers of self-conscious irony I pile on top of it, but...what the hell, people? How are all these girls who come on the Internets and partake in our bad Photoshop jokes and lengthy discussions of stupid white trash names also attractive? This undermines the very foundations of my view of society. How many more of you are there? I must know!
I am an attractive lady. No, wait - I'm a 32 year old man. Ah, it's the internet. I'm whatever you want me to be.
Is he...Is he mixed race?
You are named after a card game in the Star Wars universe. That earns you a v-chubb.
...the who the what now?
Not that I don't appreciate the unintentional Star Wars tie in, but I got it from a funny little thing in a mostly serious movie--the 'Ham' costume that Scout wears in the moviefilm of "To Kill A Mockingbird". I laughed so hard at that...
Ohhh I haven't seen the movie of To Kill A Mockingbird but I recently read the book and loved it. People talk about what ana amazing, must-read book it is, which I agree with, but no one ever mentions how damn funny it is. Like, the bit where Jem tells Scout to be a gentleman. That made me laugh out loud on the train for God's sake.
I'll have to watch the film.
Yes--deliciously sweet and funny. As a "read the book first" guy, it makes me happy that you have done so, but I do encourage viewing the film, because it is very good in it's own right. ...and just try not to laugh at the costume...
That scene in the book, with the costume, and Scout running onstage late and the old man laughing so hard he had to go outside and take his pills, is in my opinion one of the funniest scenes in American literature to date.
Second to when Appleby and Orr are playing table-tennis.
Not you buddy, but I love the avatar. I was talking to sabbac.
Sabacc.
Didn't realize that that was most likely not what his username was referring to. SO... I'm just going to nod my head to the music, hold my drink in front of my chest and head back to the kitchen of this house-party of a thread and lean on the Counter of Self-Imposed Obscurity.
ahhh soooo! I couldn't trace that one back properly...
and for you, a virtual "chubby of situational apology"...
It's totally what my username was referring to - I'll join you in the kitchen. Got (blue) milk?
All out. I'll pick some up at the Tashi Station. I've got to grab some power converters anyways, so it's no problem.
i knew it! my name is scout, and i've been looking for another scout my whole life. thank you... sort of.
A geek-chub? Accepted with thanks.
Yeah, this is...this is nuts! when I got on here last night only thegoodwillgirl and heccibiggs had cute girl photos as icons. Now it's like Assetbar has been taken over by attractive females!
Not that I'm complaining.
Er, margargaret, not thegoodwillgirl.
dammit.
I was famour for approximately one Assetbar minute in a tekende post.
Wow. Harsh.
you have misunderstood, he wasn't implying that thegoodwillgirl did not have a cute girl icon (the dude is not blind). He was was just correcting his timeframe error.
Ooh!
*curtsey*
Yes, numberkillinger is correct.
Sorry, it didn't even occur to me that it might look like I was saying thegoodwillgirl as unattractive.
You are all very attractive, ladies
Keep up the good work
Yes, ladies. Keep up the good work.
Keep havin those genes.
Yes.
Yo, being hot is not just genes, it is an art, and we Achewood ladies are masters of the trade. We could teach this shit at a professorial level, only they won't let us coz they know society would totally fucking explode if there were too many girls who knew how to be hot. Classes combining sexy teachers and sexy schoolgirls would end the institution of higher education as we know it.
Daaamn! I guess my answer could use some work!
I know that, silly. I was just pointing out the possibility of that interpretation for everyone's discomfort.
oh... well now i feel discomfortable.
You.. you look like Neil Patrick Harris in this picture. I saw Harold and Kumar recently.
Man, I am in the group. Hardcore. I get NPH and Conan O'Brien like no tomorrow.
i get astroboy from the hair anomoly
That's the corner of a picture behind me.
oh rats
Hahaha, vchub.
I started a revolution!
This is so fucking weird.
I mean, don't get me wrong, this is cool and all, but understand that for the past year or so I've thought of all of you people as basically small magic goblins living in my computer off of Internet, a natural resource farmed or possibly mined somewhere in rural Ohio. To have a face to match with comments and understand that you're people like me and thus are capable of living, breathing, being prosecuted for one to several counts of first degree murder, or maybe even getting a boat loan, is sort of a trip.
Paradigms have shifted. Schisms have been rewritten. Handles have been vigorously jiggled. Tomorrow I wake to a new dawn, yet I believe it may just a better one.
Hear hear.
I plan on calling you Stephen Fry from now on, just for comfort's sake.
Yeah, there ain't no easy way out from behind that shadow
Oh Stephen Fry, ain't that the truth?
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Quick! Somebody get in a fight with me about feminism! I need to find out if people will take me more or less seriously now that they know I'm a marginally attractive girl!
FEMINISM IS STUPID AND YOU ARE STUPID
I'm not sure what it means to be taken seriously on a board where people spend time making fake apology cards and hastily photoshopped buggery.
You make a fair point, Macauley. A fair point, indeed.
...hastily photoshopped buggery...
DAMMIT. I hate that I spend so much time with SPSS that I cannot even remember the difference between html and bbcode thingits. Is most basic thing!
Brackets, not carats.
You're so cute when you talk about sociology which doesn't have baking in it.
I predict that you will in some instances be taken more seriously. Example: certain feminist policy prescriptions can be taken as certain feminists trying to force men in general to do things to benefit them because no way in hell would these women be able to get particular, individual men to do things to benefit them.
This post is not to imply that you are one of those women or have made those sorts of arguments. It is just to say that it would be much harder to dismiss you as an embittered man-hater.
I doubt anyone thinks it through that far.
Attractive women can enjoy witty banter AND comics you know.
Attractive women can enjoy witty banter AND comics you know.
Damn you assetbar.
I'm sure you don't make silly mistakes like that in the kitchen. You know.
Where you belong.
OKAY! I GET IT!
You shouldn't have yelled at her. Not about this.
Do you cherish our faces? Say that you cherish our faces.
Also, I would join in with the self-portrait avataricons had I a suitable photo on my computer. Till then, my avatar remains...The Queen...with a bloody-faced corgi.
I cherish the heck out of them.
The funny part of this comment, to me, is that you are not an unattractive fellow yourself.
Which guy are you talking to WHICH GUY ARE YOU TALKING TO
She is talking to achilleselbow shesh just put your thumb on the screen and scroll up (it is easy to do)
I have never found this easy.
Man, I thought I was the only person that did that. My screen is so dirty because of that.
Wouldn't that tear your thumb off?
I can't figure out how this makes any sense but this made me laugh so much.
I just use my cursor most of the time.
Well on my mac the cursor disappears when I scroll. (but my thumb doesn't)
When I read this comment, I unplugged my computer and buried it in the backyard for fear of being thought arrogant by my roommates. I assure you, it's just an uncharacteristically good picture, but thanks - you just gave me a month's supply of self-esteem.
Outside: You Really Didn't Have To Bury Your Computer, We Will All Stop Being Real People Soon and Go Back To Avatars I Hope Because This Is Kind Of Odd

I...I am also a lady. But I've said this before.
You're a very good-looking lady at that.
At least judging by this tiny picture of you.
YES
aw shucks to you too.
Aw shucks.
By the way it is not a tiny picture of me; I am actually that small.
Kidding of course:
[IMGS OFF]
Well, hello!
BLIMEY
Yeah, you can't do that. We're all jut snapping pictures of ourselves on the couch or in recliners, you can't dump all that beautiful on us with no warning. That's like spending four hundred dollars for a birthday when everyone else agreed to spend twenty.
<---- Twenty dollar beauty. Right over there. ^^^ I'm not sure what amount of beauty that is, it's probably in a currency that ain't American, tho. (Talking to abendsonnen.)
Oh man sheesh. Why do you have to go and say things.
And you aren't any twenty dollar beauty. We lookin' at a six hundo-you are class money.
Mine was snapped by someone else when I was so drunk I could hardly walk, and was drinking out of a tiki mug I had just bought because it came with more free alcohol (also I am pretty sure I paid with the wrong denomination because who can tell the difference anyway)
How many other girls in here just developed all-consuming dislike of abendsonnen, all of a sudden?
(Just kidding abendsonnen, but I do feel a genuine pang of envy about your looks)
Oh. Oh no! :(
Every lady in here is gorgeous. We are basically amazing.
You look like a doll or a mannekin.
I think I'm gonna haveta agree with thebcm. His theory makes sense.
I'm sad I'm long out of chubbies.
Whoa! abendsonnen's so pretty, a dog barks!
Dein Foto ist AUSGEZEICHNET!
What a neck whataneck whataneck. What the hell. What time is it? Why not the best? Aw hell .
hell of gorgeous!
HOLY CRAP
Are you a model, or does that windblown hair thing just happen whenever someone takes a photo? You are gorgeous!
Ps. ibetso I totally know what you mean but working in an industry where I'm surrounded by models a lot has slowly reduced this feeling out of necessity hahaha. There's always someone out there better looking so why compare?
you could probably achieve a similar effect by standing in front of a fan. maybe?
I just had a fan in my dorm room. But thank you for the compliment!, however I really am thinking it is just a nice picture.
You can't blame your hotness on a nice picture girl! YOU ARE HOTT.
.....is what I would have said 1 day ago except my computer has blown up :(
Ah abendsonnen, we would look good together, if only I were rich and not just good looking.
You are best song, played on prettiest guitar.
I have a theory that the sort of person who reads and enjoys achewood is a higher caliber person than the common man.
Thus, it is of no surprise that we are genetically superiority to the vulgar crowd.
Anyway, back to lurking!
Agreed. I don't understand how there are so many damned hawt laydeez on this board.
All you fellas ain't bad, neither. Hey, I call 'em as I sees 'em.
"I'm a whale biologist."
I tried to chubby this and my browser crashed. that is how out out of chubbies i am.
sounds like a certain politician...
a heh heh heh
this could be a thing
DON'T BE TUBGIRL
NOW I AM THE HECCI!
Nice =D
Now I connect your handle strongly with margarine. I did not do so when it was an insect.
Yes, many people associate me with margarine because of my yellowish color and fondness for toast.
# HONEYS PLAY ME CLOSE LIKE BUTTER PLAY TOAST
FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DOWN TO THE EAST COAST #
Oh my god... I just realised, your handle is margargaret, mine is mcgorgomagan! They're both absurd lengthenings of our real names!
Okay, shit, my handle is actually gormster. NM
I wondered about that, but the point made in the post below is still relevant.
Lol! I chubby both of your posts because this kind of mistake humors me tremendously.
SEE! People respond very positively to an actually image of a person. You never would have noticed my name if I hadn't changed my image.
I think that everyone should put a real picture of themselves. Or is that creepy?
It might be, this is assetbar remember.
I mean, MY face for example...

Also, is there a reason why all our assetbarians who just adopted realface avataricons are on one side, while heccibiggs in on the other?
Yeah actually I think it best if you stick to club soda
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
"heccibiggs loves me the most" is also a good reply

You are the "Alice" in this scenario. This pleases me.
wait wait what what what? I am the Alice. It is my name .
Alice is Alice today. That is special. Stop being on coke!
It only took me nine hours to get that reference. I was stuck on Alice in Wonderland for a while.

I'm sorry I referenced an American TV show from the 1970's on a webcomic forum with international denizens
but seriously woman it's so kitschy and wonderful everyone should watch it
That Alice. I was all confused.
I am sorry I did not get your reference
This discussion has been most enlightening
Um... but I... I still don't know which one is Alice
Or what the TV show is for that matter
Damn.
SVANKMAJER
...IS GOD
I think the puppet kind of looks like you. Sorry.
But...but...that is awesome.
At least theirateturk is making his 'tapestry' out of girls' internet avataricons rather than making a suit out of their skin.
As someone who appears in the tapestry, I am worried about the state of my skin. I would prefer it in the state of being on my living body, and I'm afraid the Internet is fast becoming antithetical to that...
I'd stay out of direct sunlight then, doll
um... yea... I found out recently that I'm related to that guy...
I can't tell which post you are responding to. Are you related to some guy who kills women and makes a tapestry out of their skins, or Jan Svankmajer?
the, uh, skin one... ed gein...
Why would you say that though.
Why would you say that.
Or mounting their heads on the wall a la "Sin City."
This was just creepy enough to get me to put up my old icon for the weekend. Kitty Nom Nom will return Monday.
I volunteer.
Someone tell me why this is lame.

That refers to the ottomans btw, as a reply to happys chubby-worthy exclamation.
any excuse to quote some rumi.
I don't wanna burst your bubble, but people respond positively to an image of a specific type of person whom people that spend too much time on the Internet are not likely to encounter much. I hope this doesn't shatter your youthful idealism.
By contrast, no-one responds positively to sea life.
Have you tried using a picture of a manatee?
I don't feel that a manatee is really me.
I miss the horrible squid thing, actually.
It is me, however. And no, I didn't add the avatar specifically for this occasion.
Hehe...chomp chomp.

Did that say something? Because I am not so sure.
I see it now. Not funny. I would lame you, but I don't believe in that process.
I don't think why if not you see funny! Is thesaurus definitions us laughings!
Yeah, no but seriously folks... lolcats is... is a terrible thing... The first lolcat was probably funny. But ever since then, it's been the same damn joke over and over and over and over. Once and again, by and by, ya might find some stain of originality in a lolcat, but generally, lolcats are the top-40 of internet humor. The Lolcat formula is the worst meme ever. Okay. Second worst if you count Trickle-down...
Looking sharp, dude. I hope I look that good when I reach your age. And gender.
Catching up with the lolcat is the inspirational poster meme. Which is a shame, because I liked that one.
thanks! yes on a different subject I.. I just don't follow that second to last sentence at all? Are you from England or Whales or some such and that is some vernacular or something? Some speech pattern that we lack stateside?
your avitar is kind of.. a hell of a lot different now... quite pixelated so I can't see your face at all but still I imagine in my mind's eye a rather gentle sort of happy fellow, whereas, that other avitar, was sort of intimidating, you know.. made me feel kind of like Sigourney Weaver.
[IMGS OFF]
I look like this. The other avatar, well, that was me as well in a hairier capacity.
I am Canadian, and my linguistic patterns are somewhat an anomoly that I really cannot justify.
I was stating in that second sentance as an addendum to your idea of the lolcats for irritating memes, was those images with the black borders you may see at a dentist office or place of business.
oh! I gotcha now! Yeah that was standard grammar, just a little more complex than 4th grade reading level is all. Canadian huh? You lucky bastard! Adopt me!
I can actually read what he said. This is the saddest thing.
For those who need a translation:
"I'm in your ocean, tasting your seaweed."
i see! in that case it was quite funny.
that's actually adorable in a way that i'll never quite figure out.
Whatever, sea cow!
You need to get on a program.
-But...but I live in the ocean!
-You live in the ocean cuz you ain't got no job!
Chubby for appreciating good comedy.
Hoooot pockeeeeet ...
ya know, achilleselbow's face avicon is errily reminiscent of his sneering dinosaur avicon. It's got that same cool mixture of irreverence and class and je ne sais quoi! As the dinosaur and as yourself, achilleselbow, I vote you sexiest assetbar user on here. bar none. in a platonic way, I mean.
My feelings on this asset are uncomfortably pro.
But why be my real face when I can be transmorgafied tiger Calvin? I'll get further in life this way...
Alas, the life of a tiger was just not what Calvin was expecting.
If I had any more chubbies to give, I would give one unto you. Alas, I am all out and our exchange no longer makes sense.
I have been working for basically the entire weekend and came back to everyone having their faces up! It's nice, I agree.
it's weird all right. I'll give it that. Acheworld went from a population of avicons to people. Now this soup cloud of ideas is being automagically organized in my mind around my mind's eye's index system of the visage.
god.. imagine if they were animated people. One day the web cams will be able to automatically track your face as you move about, and stream a live animation of you... weird...
imagine if there were like, a neural network connecting all of our brain stems via blue-tooth and ethernet and 802.11.
If we ever get taken over by the Borg, I think y'all would make for fine company, I'll like to be in y'alls immediate local net.

A question that, in a better world, every man on the internet would get asked once.
That...that might be the sexiest question I've ever heard.
Ah, but those of the less photogenic variety blanche at the prospect.

Tekende wonner this too!
Maybe you and me is amigos!!
HEY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eeek!!
Oh, that explains everything. You're actually Tim Russ.
HOORAY!
My life is complete, I might as well just die right now.
This is the funnist thing that could have happened. How I wish I fuckin' had a chubby left. I'm sorry, dr_manfeltch.
I died a little bit inside when I realized I was about 20 hours past having a chubby to give.
No fair Tuvok!
Why do you always make toast fall butter-side-down? WHY?!?
(Yes, I know we were discussing margarine. But "margarine-side-down" doesn't quite have that witty ring to it.)
WHEW
aw wow it's even the same arm-suspended-in-mid-air pose!
Also, did you flip your avataricon to fuck with us all?
In the original post I was not facing the right way. I flipped it in Photoshop, but it didn't save the first time I posted the picture. I corrected it, but it is still showing up as the original angle on my screen.
In other words: I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm sure if you refresh it, it will be fine. When you first changed your avataricon, I was still seeing the housefly for a second and then suddenly it was magically delicious.
I have refreshed many times and alas, it remains the same.
Hey don't fret about it I mean it is just an avataricon located on [IMGS OFF]
I've done far worse than kill you, thread. I've mangled your posts. And I wish to go on mangling.
It makes me glad that people like a thing I did.
Indeed, all glory to straw.
Join us straw, joooooin uuuuus...
Okay, straw, I wanna know what you look like.
I want to see the face of the man I've been chubbying so often for the past few months.
"I want to see the face of the man I've been chubbying so often for the past few months."
So going to take out of context.
"giving chubbies to"? No, you're fucked either way.

I'm keeping the llama, though. It is far too dear.

I see what you did there.
The dividends pay to this day!
I am trying to get a handface picture going, but I can't get the dimensions right, and it's all pixelated all the time. I feel a little left out, I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah, I don't have a handface pic at all. How do you think I feel? I'll never be a cool girl of assetbar at this rate!
On the plus side, you are not using my LJ icon as your avataricon anymore, which cuts my confusion down by a factor of about 2.7.
But in the dark days of democracy, when all hope is gone and the people cry for a hero-- Washington may return.

While the Washington video itself (and the quoting of it, by extension,) is hilarious, lawbot's comment here is the funniest thing I've read today.
Had a pocket full of horses, fucked the shit out of bears.

Twelve stories tall, made of ray-di-ay-shun.
Really, no one is going to say "He saved children, but not the British children?"
It's true.... I will.
Yeah, I have no handface pic, either.
But I do have a gun! Muahahaha!
There is an important line from the movie "The Whole Nine Yards" that I will refrain from quoting. It refers to your gun. Some of you will know what I mean.
Sorry, clothes stay ON. But, I thank you for the compliment.
Yeah, I didn't want to give the wrong impression. You have a gun.
Way to avoid nomenclature controversy!
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Yep, all the assetbirds must have pictures of themselves. <- Check it out! although I regret that in this picture I do not have my hand near my face.
i found one with my hand on my face, but it's a more "Notes About the Author" pose than a sassy cute one.
man i did it too, but i feel so exposed
Do it! Themed avatars for a day for all!
I like the idea of scrolling through a bunch of thumbnails of women with hands on their faces. I've been trying to get that domain registered for a few years now, but if I can't have the Number 1 Spot on the Net for 50x50 Handface Babe Coordinations , I'll take whatever I can get.
Oh man! I want to join you but I don't think there is a single picture of me in existence with my hand on my face. Also, you are both sassy and cute.
YAY TO THAT! I am a big self-portrait ho, so I tried to find the one that most closely resembles my regular one -> [IMGS OFF]
What's all this then?
https://www.handfacebabes.com/ remains free.
this is the best i could find. and i don't know how to or if its possible to scale in ms paint, which is all this computer has -- so, my head barely fits in this box.
i just may try again later.
Seriously, don't any ugly girls read Achewood? Now I'm going to be even more self-conscious when posting.
I know a relatively unattractive woman who reads Achewood.
You can sleep easy now, friend.
Me too.
But, uh, I'm not ugly!
I'm just not playing this "picture of yourself" game.

DO IT
COME BLEED WITH US, MIRA.
dude, come on. it's fun.
and everybody's doing it.
man fuckin' peer pressure
you're all skinnier than me. I am going to change this back tomorrow. or whenever I remember.
Good interpretation of the theme. You're fine.
Oh please, you're pretty, mira. Do you want my deathtastically curly hair? Lets not turn this into "ohmigawd im so fat". LOVE YOURSELF! I love your cute little nose. o(^.^)d <-thumbs up smiley
I always play that game, though. Istillhavenoselfesteem :( but thank you. and I LOVE deathtastically curly hair!
Hehe o(^.^)d
...I like that.
d-(^__^)-b
OH SHIT
d-(^__^)-b
OH SHIT
oh dude whatever.
i must say, we got a fine crop of achewomen going. that's pretty cool.
Awesome. At least you didn't have to take your handface picture using the builtin camera on the XO. And I bet you didn't have to deal with a spider on your towel, either.
Hawt!
i caved in too, it's ok.
Assetbros! Are we gonna let the ladies' bid for power go uncontested?
Dudefacehand solidarity!
It is totally weird seeing myself here for some reason. I'm... I'm not sure I like it.
I'm not sure assetbar is ready for a bunch of dudefacehands. I'm not sure if this is a thing that is wanted or desired.
(I mean at least I had the good sense to be dressed as Dr. McNinja with a viking helmet on in mine)
This cannot end well. I predict that by the end of the weekend we will have identified at least one furry in our community, and more than a few guys who look like they write He-Man fanfiction.
I see you've been reading my livejournal, and it's not fanfiction it's expanded universe novellas, you goddam whore!
Alright, alright. Mind you, this is for a limited time only; I can only survive for a short time without my gasmask of anonymity.
Your picture is quite dark and tiny, but, HELL O , baryonyx.
Actually the Assetdudes are all looking pretty cute so far, too. WHAT THE HELL EVERYONE THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AS FAR AS WEBCOMIC READING GEEK STEREOTYPES GO.
i know, it is awesome.
I am laughing so hard right now. You flatter me, my dear.
This whole movement is so amusing; I'm not sure where I stand on it. Up until now, a lot of these posters were just distilled personalities; now they're people. Assetbar may never be the same. I mean, unless it is.
I KNOW! It's weirding me out. Where are all these cute, achewood-loving boys in, you know, real life?
in their bedrooms
Aww, you switched back. Is this thing over now?
NO
if you're asking me, explanation is below. somewhere. i looked like a tool, so yeah.
No kidding...
I'm fairly certain I'm a webcomic reading geek... curly hair in a ponytail, glasses, and, of course, a mustache that is so wispy that a spider covets.
To be fair, the only reason I haven't shaved the 'stache is because I'm far too lazy to do so.
alright, this is an oldish pic, back when my mutton chops existed. It's pretty bad... not to say that there's any good pictures of me. *shrug*
Wait, we have a male winner of the "Typical Geek Reading Online Comix Look" contest the rest of us have apparently failed. Now if we can just fine that female with heavy glasses, lanky hair and braces!
I giggled when I read 'gasmask of anonymity'. In my circle of friends a gasmask is when you surreptitiously fart into your cupped hand, close it, and then immediately place said hand over the mouth and nose of an unsuspecting friend, opening it as you do so.
These are the kinds of people you meet when you go to special nerd high school.
In my circle of friends it is known as a "cupcake" and when you perform a "cupcake" you have to yell the word "cupcake" as you open your hand in front of the person's face.
It all started with a friend and her dog, who used to lick her palm when she did it to him. Poor, dumb dog.
Same thing, but replace "cupcake" with "Cup of Soup".
...and a packet of crisps. Makes me see Noddy Holder in a different light.
[IMGS OFF]
Right... exactly what I meant. I can't survive for extended periods without inhaling someone's fart. Like a sort of methane vampire.
Note to self: Fartgas is portable.
baryonyx are you in a band?
Yes, it's called "Methane Vampire".
No, actually. If you've ever been in the room as I attempt to play any instrument in Rock Band you will understand the reasoning behind this (the sound of me singing, oh, it is to shudder).
You have Adam's haircut, rabbidpanda. Is your cat called Cringer, perchance?
Oh great, everyone else is likened to Demetri Martin, or James Bond, or Some Dude Who is a Sex Symbol, and I have the dashing looks of He-Man's alter ego...
I hate days like today . At least I have gotten older and out of shape enough that I am no longer told that I look like Macaulay Culkin.
Oh, and Cringer died of renal failure a year ago. Thanks.
I feel terrible now. I am guilty of perpetrating the exact act that made me change mine back after ten minutes.
I am of low mind.
Meh, I have no shame, I'll leave it. No wukkas.
Farqussus, you are rad! You...are...rad!
wait did you say no wukkas? so many australians here.
Australians.... is there anywhere we don't go?
Tasmania.
I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but I thought that you looked like Thurston Moore a bit:
[IMGS OFF]
Also, baryonyx looking like Johnny Greenwood
[IMGS OFF]
And achilleselbow looking like a latter-era Jay Farrar
[IMGS OFF]
achilleselbow, you should meet my friend's cousin, who looks just like Jeff Tweedy.
I think I'm forming a habit.
So we're all indie rock musicians. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Considering that you listen to At The Gates, Wolfsheim, Thursday, the Mars Volta, the Postal Service and Rammstein, you should feel fucking ecstatic that you got associated with something that is good music .
but whatever you know listen to what you like that's what I say.
You forgot to mention Apoptygma Berzerk for the full embarrassing effect. I feel so...exposed.
I think I just missed the memo that was sent out when everyone decided that the only acceptable music is jangly folk wankery and 20-minute ambient drone tracks. I do like the requisite indie bullshit like Arcade Fire and Les Savy Fav, but nine times out of ten I'd still rather listen to the stuff I picked up in middle/high school.
Yeah, but you're just subsituting indie wankery for overlong neo-prog and metal wankery. It's a lateral move at best.
But I don't buy your excuse, because you do list some of the most obvious "indie" bands on there, right? Flaming Lips, Bright Eyes, Postal Service.
Alright, enough, it sounds like I'm cussing you out, that was not my point. You're a young guy; enjoy these, your salad days.
If the prog-metal wankery of BTBAM is wrong, then I do not want to be right.
I am with you on this one achilleselbow. pitchfork bands are all very well (some are even good) but at the end of the day I basically prefer to have a slab of Meshuggah or Dillinger in my ears.
I kinda like Wolfsheim and Apoptygma Berzerk as well, dude.
I do not.
Well.
Maybe a little .
I consider myself more of a cross between Adrien Brody and Murdoc Niccals.
you're pretty good at this.
now do the ladies!
(please)
Oh, I can't, I'm too taken aback by the beauty. Surely, you girls are incomparable.
OK, soupkaty, before I was just trying to get an easy out, but now that you've changed your pic it's easy:

didn't that guy with the furry avatar already pretty much out himself? also girls are notorious for peer pressure strengths. So welcome to the handface coven, brolocks (like warlock but more casual)
Now the dudes are in on it. This was the best possible thing for me to wake up to.
Achilleselbow, why do you look like Demetri Martin?
I don't know, but I get that all the time. The last time I heard it was from a girl who was staying at the same hostel in Munich. Her exact words were "You look like Demetri Martin... and you're funny too!" Somehow even after that and an intense two-hour conversation about The Cure and LSD while hunched over pitchers of strawberry margaritas at a seedy 'Mexican-themed' bar where all the bartenders were strapping Aryan men wearing ill-fitting sombreros, I still could not muster the courage to make any sort of move, and she eventually left with a friend. I don't know why I have so many of these stories or why my life resembles some sort of depressing existentialist novel.
Yeah, basically if a girl likens you to Demetri Martin, it means she wants to bone you.
That's what it would mean if I said it anyway.
Traveling to a seedy, faraway bar and talking about music and drugs with a hot woman you never see again sounds more like Kerouac than Camus.
No, traveling to a seedy, faraway bar and feeling no guilt after killing a hot woman you have been talking to about music and drugs: that is Camus.
In fairness, Kerouac was a pretty existential fellow himself, as evidenced [url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/opinion/02brooks.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Sal Paradise&st=nyt&oref=slogin]here[/url].
It's an interesting article, even if David Brooks is usually an asshole.
Sigh. Here?
David Brooks is still an asshole.
Camus is my philosophical babydaddy.
Does Camus even count as philosophy? Really?
Oh, you Brits with your rigorous logical requirements.
Really, anything's philosophy if you look at it properly.
YOU KNOW DEMETRI MARTIN.
I love you.
Also I just received your Facebook friend request by e-mail, but then Facebook had a spaz and suddenly it won't allow me to look at my requests page.
But know that I'm trying as hard as I can to accept it with just the power of my mind.
It just occured to me that perhaps Demetri Martin is much better known in the States than over here.
But it's still fly.
I just realized that you liking Jeff Lewis and Demetri Martin is kind of like people in America liking obscure British comedy. Do other British people ever find you pretentious for it?
Probably.
Do you get Comedy Central in England? I hear it's called The Comedy Channel over there or maybe BBC 69 Comedy or some shit, but yeah, anyone who watches The Daily Show on a regular enough basis will see his Trendspotting segments, which are often hilarious.
Also, Demetri Martin: Person, was enjoyable.
Eternia was dark that day, and cold. The spring rains had come, bringing vague shadows of winter's grim chill back to haunt the Kingdom of Eternos. Prince Adam shrugged his heavy velveteen cloak forward to better warm himself, but it did little good. He was caught unawares by the shower on his morning ride and the cloak was already sopping and slapping him uncomfortably on his tanned, well-toned thighs as he rode Cringer toward Castle Greyskull. He would have to disrobe and stay a spell in the ancient citadel if he was not to catch a death.
Leaving Cringer to sleep in the great hall, Adam set his clothes out to dry and began to explore Castle Greyskull. He had been there so many times, but always in a rush to call on He-Man, always with the tunnel-vision that panic brings to sight, the memories of his hundreds of visits blurred to one thin line that began- and ended- with his alter ego. The air in the castle was somehow warm, and it felt good on his bare skin. He had wandered for a time, and quickly realized that he was in a room he had never seen before, a room of mirrors. His reflection doubled, tripled, manipulated and repeated a countless number of times.
One mirror was different, however; the largest in the room. It was placed directly opposite of the door Adam had stepped through, and was ornately filigreed with skulls and flowers. The reflection it presented was not Adam at all, but He-Man himself. The man who he was and yet, was not, stared back at him, Sword of Power in hand, as Adam stood, so nude, across from him. Chest muscles bulged powerfully and equally on each side of the room. The image lingered where it was a moment longer, then stepped out of the very mirror, striding powerfully with bulging calves until he stood not a foot from Adam, hot nostril-breath tautening the skin of his chest, giving him goose-pimples. He-Man regarded his other self severely, but not unkindly, and slowly lowered his face...

If you want Adam to slowly back away, crying, turn to page 145.

With apologies to Dr. Manflesh.
After three days of this trip being up, and who knows how many comments, I would love to know who actually had a chubby left to give you. Someone more patient than most, I would guess.
In short: v-chub!
That'd be me. I often like to hold back a chubby in case somebody posts He-Man fan fiction.
Damn this is latest to party I am ever being
You look so metal, you should have a warning label that says "non-microwaveable".
That's a compliment, btw.
Thanks to both of you. I thought that I replied to the actual "He-Man Fanfic" comment all the damn way up there, but either I got pushed down by too many comments or I just posted wrong.
Welcome to the party! We are friends now! Assetbar!
Announcing: www.facehandstuds.com from the people who brought you www.facehandbabes.com, the home of the erotic high five!
I STILL DON'T THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD IDEA (but I don't want to be left out either)
i agree that it is a bad idea, without hypnotoad, my posts are exposed as garbage.
Which is weird, because I feel that my posts have improved and I have gained confidence in posting since I changed my avataricon.
I think it is a good idea as my avataricon doesn't seem so out of place. Although I may have to replace it with a proper handfacedude pose.
I feel the same way as faits. I am uneasy about this, but I'm gonna go along and see how it goes. At least until the next strip.
Stop it. You look fabulous.
At least your picture and gender aren't in conflict.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. You know they only made it legal in the 60s.
Looks like you've glued your hand to your face... also... I'm in...
In the movie of Assetbar, Woodenteeth will be played by Robert Downey Junior
and gmm will be played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
although i'm still a pederast and you're an awesome actor. damn.
woodenteeth, you're a cutie.
Okay I will play now too!
This is so wacky.
Hooray, tekende!
Don't take this in a bad way... You have a kind of hot professor thing going on. When you mentioned at some point that you had a beard, I didn't know what to think. But now I see, and it's a good beard.
These are very rare.
oh no this is weird this is weird
tekende, didn't you used to have a picture of Christian Bale (in American Psycho I believe) so that whenever I saw one of your posts, almost regardless of its content, I kind of reacted favourably to it because I quite fancied the person in the picture? Well now it's like you have a picture of you and...
i still feel that way
Reader, I LOLd
I feel the same way about numberkillinger. Even without hypnotoad.
All right. Thank you. Cute girls on the internet think I am good-looking.
I wonder...what is the temperature in Hell right now. It must be pretty damn cold.
A virtual chubby for a soul-piercing glare, tekende.
The newest fashion wave through assetbar..."Being the Real you Now" by Joel Osteen teaches us to embrace our identity in this medium of anonymity. Joel helped me, he can help you too.
You tell 'em steev_dayv!
dang tekende, way to bear a resemblance to Dave 1 from Chromeo.
This is intended as a compliment.
(i find your 50x50 icon to be aesthetically pleasing (You is cute. Keep it up.))
I concur.
I do think tekende is much purtier than that guy, though.
I looked at that picture once more, and that glorious choiral flourish from the 'Remergence' suite of 'Atom Heart Mother' began. I thought I was about to die.
i am furious that i can't chubby you right now
You spoke well of "Atom Heart Mother"! I thought no one else would ever do that!
(In lieu of chubbies, please have this tight, 4-minute radio edit I did of the main theme.)
Holy fuck, guy.
Fuck.
A chubby does this no justice. I thank you.
i realize not everyone goes for jewish academic types who have hell of sexy singing voices.
but oooh, dave 1 -- i'd let him teach me undergraduate French courses anyday.
no he is hell of sexy i agree.
Oh by the way, soupkaty, I can sing too. Really I can.
Let us form a barbershop quartet, tekende.
This is a good idea. But we will need two other guys.
Also, I play the ukulele. We could be a barbershop quartet with ukulele accompaniment.
Wow, I just had a great idea for an activity at the Achewood meetup.
These last few days I too have been having great ideas about possible activities to enjoy with other Achewood readers. The activities do not include singing.
Not at all?
Yea me too, I mean I even found a second controller for someone to play Turtles in Time with me.
HAHAHAHAHA
I play the ukelele as well! Let us rejoice in this small moment!
Uke high five!
Re: singing at the meetup: Why the hell not? Maybe we will get drunk enough that singing will seem like a Good Idea.
Re: Turtles in Time: HELL YES.
I play the baritone ukelele. If you know "Sloop John B", or can fumble your way through "Don't Fence Me In" ,jump right it, brother.
I play soprano uke (for now. I would like to get a tenor and a baritone at some point). I don't know either of those songs, but I should learn Sloop John B. That's a great song.
I play the guitar and I am fucking getting the tabs for both of those IMMEDIATELY.
Excellent. I have a theory on this. Granted, with modern music, gentlemen are more apt to learn and play songs that appeal to the ladies of their generation, like that execrable "She Talks to Angels" by the Black Crowes. My opinion is, you find a nice, short, truthful song like "Don't Fence Me In" and it's catnip to the ladies. Of course, you being of a slightly older genera than myself, it's a moot point, but they're both fun to sing and play.
Please do this thing
I too can sing. Mid-High range in the house. I may have to appear via Skype.
That will be quite a feat for the two of you.
tekende,
i tried to message you on aim. it told me you were not online, even thought you were.
ps: what is up with that
I don't know what's up with that. Actually it may have been because my internet connection (brought to me in part and in whole by my neighbor's unsecured wireless) was hella crazy and I kept losing connection.
Anyway, try again sometime.
[IMGS OFF]
i realize now that the facial structure is wicked different, but like i said -- resemblance.
ok. just a little bit of academic Justin Timberlake. just a bit
right back at ya. back slap back slap back slap.
Yeah I feel super-lame, since only now did I check to see if I had a picture that included both my hand and my face. So three days out of the gate, I've changed it.
I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR MY HANDFACE PIC, ASSETBAR
(HOWEVER IT IS FROM WHEN I WENT TO ROCKY HORROR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT)
In Soviet Russia, self esteems you!
It took a Soviet Russia joke to make me join up. There is my face. It will probably not be here long.
Another question of interest: Are there any non-white girls who read Achewood? We are a pale bunch, indeed.
Oh my God. What have I done.
I have to say, I didn't look at this thread for like eighteen hours or some shit, and I come back and find you all with handfacepose avatars, which I saw before reading the comment thread, and had a few moments of genuine horrified " Oh God are they all making fun of me oh no oh no oh no... ", but, from reading what you all have to say, I think you all mean it in good spirits.
...Right?
Outside: I Am Sorry We Made You Feel Like We Do Not Like You Because Our Pictures Are Similar To Yours In Many Ways.
Inside: I Do Not Know What We Were Thinking That Was Hell Of Inconsiderate Of Us You Are Actually Very Cool.
You shouldn't worry. If anyone is being satirized by this movement, it is the rest of us. I can take it, though. Satirize me some more, ladies.
I am virtually supplying irondave with chubbies at this time.
They're all gonna laugh at you!
Shut up, Ma, you're making the night too damn special!
I hope I got the right reference there.
If that's a That 70's Show reference, then no. If it's a Carrie reference, then yes.
Ah. Well, in my defence, I've only seen Carrie once and I watch That 70s Show all the God damn time.
Sorry I Wasn't Cool Enough To Get Your Reference.
I'm A Product Of Society And Too Many Sitcom Re-Runs.
I thought it was an Adam Sandler reference. boo to that
Me too. Although I think Adam Sandler was probably referencing Carrie.
I started it because I wanted to see how to male assetbarians would act differently if they felt like they were talking to a bunch of girls. A social experiment of sorts. All in good fun!
Yes, the ramifications of this move might be far-reaching.
Outside: We're Sorry Our Pictures Made You Feel Self-Conscious About Posting On The Internet
Inside: We May Be Cute Girls But Inside We're Just As Nerdy As You Are
It's a Hot Chicks Take Over Assetbar Weekend.
^.^
ladies read free 'til 11!
Hahahaha. You're right, margargaret, this is a fun experiment. Reading this is some of the most fun I've had on Assetbar in a while. And I usually have quite a lot of fun on Assetbar.
Also, your copy of my pose is exemplary . Although having recreated it, you probably think I'm the weirdest ever for posing like that, so you should know that I had my elbow resting on a desk, and then my face resting on my hand. So it's a lot more natural and comfortable than it seems.
That seems much more comfortable than leaning awkwardly against my bathroom door.
I can't find any. Maybe it's just that sitting in front of a LCD will bleach the holy hell from your skin. I've never had a tan in my life. I will not marry a white dude because dammit, my children will know what it's like to play in the sun.
They will also read Achewood, assuming the internet has not not yet a) collapsed under the weight of lolcats or b) eaten the world. Patience, m'lady; the day will come...
In other news: I had only one picture of myself. My hand is not on my face and it is hella pixelated. The Funny Walk avatar will return before the week is out.
aye. we just don't comment on assetbar cuz sum ppl said U hate Asians.
p.s. i've kidnapped phillipe. his hand is on my face and he feels scared but important.
No one hates asians. They can fly! Also they are our first anti-Godzilla line of defense.
We love Asians! Huuuuuugs! I practically am Asian. For reasons too long to go into.
Oh, please tell. Nothing is too long-winded in Assetbar!
I tried, I really did, but assetbar rejected my face and made it blurry :(
Also this is the only photo of me I have on my computer where I am neither wearing sunglasses nor dressed as poison ivy. WTF? I need to reconsider my lifestyle.
dressed as poison ivy is awesome, though!
I mean everyone else might be all like "cosplay wtf" but come on that is awesome.
I think the whole "cosplay is somewhat weird" angle is negated by the fact that Poison Ivy is usually depicted as a smokin' hot redhead in a green one-piece.
Negated. Totally.
I know i'm in a tank top, but i think i got close.
My hair is also no longer this colour.
Acheworld is ready for Poison Ivy.
Last year I was at a Halloween party in some loft/warehouse deal. I was dressed as Dorian Gray and no one was getting it at all , even though I was carrying a picture of myself that had been photoshopped with wrinkles and everything. Then out of nowhere this riduclously beautiful girl dressed as Poison Ivy, red hair and all, comes up to me and asks if I'm supposed to be Dorian Gray. I say yes, and she replies "I visited Oscar Wilde's grave in Paris and kissed it...so now I have to kiss you." Which she does, then turns around and promptly disappears into the crowd. After I recovered from my mildly catatonic state, I spent a good half hour traversing the maze of rooms and rooftops looking for her, but to no avail.
I don't think it was cantilever though.
You live in New York, right? I gotta ask a friend what her Halloween costume was last year.
Yea, I live in Williamsburg, which is where the party was. And by last year, I meant this most recent Halloween.
I have a gorgeous redhead friend who lives in Manhattan (but goes to parties in Brooklyn sometimes) and has spent extensive time in Paris. She sexually rewards people for having good taste in literature (she once slept with a guy just coz he liked Camille Paglia), and I know she's dressed up as Jessica Rabbit before, which is kinda like dressing up as Poison Ivy. If she is not the person who kissed you, she is at least her evil twin.
Small world. Small, awesome world.
Seeing as how achilleselbow only got a kiss rather than getting a shag, this may almost be bad news for him.
Also, achilleselbow, I'm so jealous that you live in Williamsburg. Mainly because of [ur=https://youtube.com/watch?v=NSdZ_yZP8bk]Jeff Lewis[/url].
UGH
By the way, if anyone here has heard of, or even better, LIKES Jeff Lewis, I will know that I have found my spiritual internet home.
I hadn't heard of him until you posted that, but it was fairly awesome. Anyway, don't be jealous, the primary pastime of everyone who lives here is complaining about being surrounded by people who look and dress exactly like them even though that was precisely the reason they moved here in the first place. I'd like to think I'm not part of this big post-ironic circle jerk - I mean I'd still rather listen to At the Gates and Blind Guardian than pretend to worship Bob Dylan any day. Besides, I don't qualify as a starving artist - the only art I create is unnecessarily long-winded messageboard posts. I just moved here because it was close to my school and better than the alternatives, and I'd rather walk into a bar and hear Dragonforce than hip-hop, even if said Dragonforce is being played half-jokingly by some bearded douche.
If it helps, I've got mad respect for Blind Guardian.
More fans of the Bards on the Acheworld? Oh my god if someone says they like Streetlight Manifesto I might just wet myself.
I had never heard of them until they came to Melbourne to tour with Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish.
The first night I was amazed, the next day I went out and got their cd's so I could sing along at the second show.
so thanks for introducing me to Jeffrey Lewis, that video/song was pretty much the song i'd been waiting to hear all day, and i didnt even know it.
He's so damn good. You are VERY welcome. Be sure to try and check out more of his stuff, I think there's at least four songs on his MySpace.
I... I like Jeff Lewis! Quite a bit. Pandora made me aware of his existence a few months ago and I haven't looked back.
Do you want to be musical friends with me heccibiggs?
I feel that would be rad bixschmix.
I like the dudes angry beatnik ranting.
Thanks. I need to click on more people's suggestions. That man is rad.
I spent a lot of time thinking about the things that man said.
Hello! I like Jeffrey Lewis and he is playing a festival this summer that is about three minutes walk away from my college.
I heard that song on the radio and I never found out who sang it. THANK YOU.
Very welcome.
Ohh, I've provided so many services on Achewood today/yesterday. Showing people Jeff Lewis, inspiring everyone to get their faces out... What else have I done? I need a hat-trick for it to be really good.
G'gosh Heccibiggs, I am listening to Roll Bus Roll as I read this. *open arms*
Ok, this might start getting weird, but are you talking about that girl from the1585? (Full disclosure: I looked at your livejournal once and you had it linked). I read some of their articles and thought they were right on for the most part, but I'm not sure how I feel about the whole promiscuity as female empowerment thing. Anyway, my first reaction was no, it wasn't her, but now I'm looking at the site again and it may very well have been. Really, I just posted that story as an entertaining example of Poison Ivy hotness, not because I actually expected to find out who it was. But shit, if you solved this mystery how awesome would that be? So yea, ask your friend.
I am talking about that girl...and this is getting weird!
this is why i am so afraid to put my picture on the internets! the world is so small- what if someone knows me.
Yeah, but it's not like people will say hey...I didn't know that you were that squid from the internet who says "NO" to people all the time, and shun you.
this was the coolest story i read on the internet today!
Agreed.
any of you babes with avatar pictures wanna kiss me???
Sure, who wouldn't want to make out with Macauley Culkin?
jesus how can you tell i look like him its a tiny picture
The hell! What, is Assetbar a matchmaking site now?
I am pretty happy my throwaway reference to poison ivy brought on such a good tale.
Also, I feel I need to point out it was for my party, I don't have the balls to cosplay in such a costume!
This feels like a sitcom plot or something. The best sitcom EVER, clearly.
This is the greatest thing to have happened on Assetbar since the alt text was restored.
It's definitely a Thing. I'm wondering if it'll stick!
I knew that was an underline, they look different from links, I know that.
I know that.
But I tried to click it, as if hoping hard enough would make it real.
I was genuinely disappointed when it didn't work.
Okay, now mine is me showing off my rad plastic bat ring. Sweet.
I was a little disappointed when I realised you weren't talking about a Batman ring, I think I'm irreversibly nerdy. I'm still enthusiatic about your rad plastic bat ring though!
Well, gee, thanks! I am one half of the Wonder Twins in that, though, if that flexes your geek muscle any. My friend had this plastic spider ring that she got for Halloween. It was awesome.
That is awesome!
i do it like, daily. i wake up, shower, and the hating begins
(Shhh, you weren't supposed to tell...)
Beef just MAKES it look easy, right everyone?
*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
Oh, balls!
You know, when I posted that, you could actually tell it was responding to Hecci's.
The past 8 hours have put them into different continents, and mine into the mystery bin. *sigh*
it would be great, but it is made difficult by the clients . you watch out for them, my girl! they will say things like 'it needs to be simple and clean and effective, but also cram all this crap into it' or 'don't make it look too cool' or 'it needs to be different but I don't know in what way ...'
ergh.
Acheworld: where the graphic design ladies hang out?
I can claim such as being one of the cute gals on here, but I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no graphic designs.
God, I love your avatariconimation.
I love it, too. All endlessly "nom nom nom". Endless nomming.
Why have I never seen the parallels between my avaconitard and Techiebabe's before? Food on a string and... some other stuff.
Nice Gone With the Wind reference.
I went to Design School, but I am not a graphic designer.
Well done you! I did not go to design school but I keep getting called upon to do small pieces of graphic design, dammit
That seems to happen to a lot of people. I guess that I don't talk to enough people for graphic design to turn into a career accidentally. I'm a bit of a recluse.
I know I'm hell of late, and also a newcomer, but I'm changing my iconvatar.
oh shit it's like hell of blurry, but my camera is hell of dead.
Don't worry about being a newbie, man. I'm a relative newbie myself. The best way to deal with that situation is to just go for broke and post like crazy.
But only when appropriate. And funny.
Otherwise we'll rip you to shreds.
I usually only post when I have something REALLY funny to say, that is appropriate to the conversation.
Also, that is a hell of old picture, I haven't taken anything since I got my wisdom's removed, since my face is still a little bruised.
Quote:
As we all know, theguitarhero really took this advice to heart.
Actually, it's an assetbar issue. Save your photo as a 50x50 pixel picture, and reupload it. Use "cubic" or similar level interpolation if your programme has such a setting.
*shrug* I had no issues, and the image I uploaded was 237x276. I saved it with the JPG compression setting on "highest" quality too in case that helps. It might have to do with the java implementation on a given platform? I'm not sure what interpolation is.. I'm not a graphics nerd or anything.

beautiful!
Put glasses on and you get 1/3 of Stella:

uh not the beer by the way
I love that sweater.
thom yorke's brother, but with dignity? you guys know who I'm talking about, right? the guy who sung that ol' song 'creep'?
he sang some other ones, too
ah yeah! karma police. i think pete wentz did a hot cover of that one recently.
(ps- this is a gag- i am well aware of radiohead, its just an old last.fm routine wherein the prankster acts as if they do not know about radiohead outside of creep. you would be shocked out loud at how angry radiohead fans get about this.)
i've never been big on last.fm, but, yeah. i almost responded more emphatically, but i figured there was little to no chance you were serious about the 'creep' reference. i get to see them live for the first time in less than a month and i cannot fucking wait
i'm going to miss them this time around because i will still be in classes god damn it . my boyfriend gets to go two days after his twenty-first birthday and get all belligerent, when i will be in the library reading about russian history. >:[
I would not be shocked at how angry radiohead fans get about anything.
EXPLAIN YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY
NO
I'm a fan of them too anyway, but you proved my point with your rage!
Yeah, I'm a bit late at this too, but was actually browsing through some old photos and found this one. Which is awful, but does at least fit the necessary face/hand criteria...
P.S. Just to stop anyone from being more disgusted than necessary, I am not picking my nose in this picture.
My camera rucking fules!!!!!
Hands on camera, camera on face, do I conform to the rules?
No. Cut down on the neon meate dreams, and try again.
Of an octo-fish? Is this comment a clue to the identity of that mysterious creature you used to be?
That photo was not taken in a polyethylene bag, nor was any dough consumed that day.
just marking my place
Avaricon duly changed, the neon meate dreams remain.
My god, I could look at that all day.
You have joined th ranks of such as the PNDT and Kitty Nom Nom. Well done, you.
By the way, guys, getting this first post has turned my inbox into a non-negotiable post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Seriously, O Assetbar Gods, we beseech you! Bless us with the option to delete messages from our inboxes!
As for this comment I'm writing... I'm directly replying to my original post. I have no idea where this is going to end up on the page.
So far away, that it would actually give everyone RSI trying to find out who it was you were replying to if you hadn't told us. So, er, thankyou, I guess.
Assetbar may be collapsing under its own weight. Is anyone else getting large gray rectangles over different, random parts of the page on each reload? (I'm using the latest Firefox for Windows.)
For the last two days I was getting strange ghosting, where some posts would not scroll with the rest of the page (and it made reading things difficult.) I think that was a RAM issue though, because it was happening on my woefully under-memoried mac, and my windows laptop (still running firefox) displays the page perfectly fine.
I get that too, edwell. I thought it was my shitty laptop.
I get that in Firefox all the time, edwell. Doesn't seem to matter how many posts there are, it just does that with Assetbar. I don't know why.
I'm replying to heccibiggs's comment so this won't be all the way at the bottom, and also to further clutter her inbox.
There is an Achewood chatroom on irc.
irc.slashnet.org. Join #achewood. Come join us, we are having fun!
YOUR MOM IS HAVING FUN ON IRC
LAWBOT FUCK YEAH MAN
God dammit, I barely even know what an irc is. Don't all non-He-Man-fanfiction-writing people use AIM? Y'all some nerds.
Yeah, I read about registering and all that, and while I'm all for fun... That's a lot of hoops to hop through.
IRC is... is... a dying place.
I'm in a different timezone from most of you.
But maybe I'll come join in tonight. I haven't IRC chatted in long.
And then maybe we can all play iSketch which is like my favourite thing to do ever which I also haven't done in ages!
IRC?
I'm not sure what you mean. I don't know if what you're saying means anything.
Dear. God. I. Am. Not. A. Religious. (Wo)Man. But. Please. Help. Me. See. The. Connection. Here.
man, people were actually playing isketch last night. so oldschool!
I am a huge nerd and yet for some reason IRC scares me. So feel free to IM me on AIM, assetbarrians.
AIM is far more terrifying than IRC
this is a solid truth
I hope you like ramen noodles and grape drank, that's all we graphic designers can afford. On the plus side though, you'll be able to identify fonts, leading and kerning, and I am boring myself typing that out.
