Roast Beef's Snoring Problem Wednesday, September 1, 2004 • read strip Viewing 96 comments:

Is it sad that relate to Roast Beef the most?

never.

I am gonna go out on a limb, here, and say that I strongly suspect that most "Achewood" readers relate to Beef the most...

If any readers were like Ray they would not be reading Achewood. They would probably be trying to finance helicopters made out of dark chocolate or dying from various nutritional trainwrecks.

I know people like Ray. My dad is like Ray, only somewhat saner.

I worry that I will turn into Ray... or Beef, for that matter.

I am like Ray.

Unfortunately, reading Achewood has made me develop Beef-like anxieties about my Rayness.

I console myself by eating brie in the manner of pie.

I'm more of a Teodor, myself.

I think I'd best relate to a Lyle who knows how to control his liquor intake.

That's not exactly a Lyle, then, is it?

Based on my feelings towards drinking whiskey and yelling about the Ace of Spades, I think I"m pretty Lyle-esque.

Will you marry me.

Most people I would venture to guess reach a certain age where the "Achewood" period in life falls.

For people like Ray they often do not reach that age.

They die.

Diabetes.

die-abetes

Great, one more thing to do today.

I used to be a lot like Roast Beef. These days, though, my overweight & lazy reflection in the mirror looks a lot like Teodor.

I think this is a good thing.

please add "middle aged" to the above comment thx

On the contrary, I relate to Phileppe the most.

That is because Phillipe taps into our collective childhood. I know I relate to his childish naiveté.

Does nobody know how to spell Philippe?

i luv filip!

Silly, it's Felipe!

Ole!

FeeRrrreep!

It's spelled HUUUUUUUGS!

Lie-bot?

DAMN, so close!

I kinda relate to Teodor the most, and I wish it wasn't so. I'd take Todd over him.

You have some rough cares going on, huh ceres?

shit. You should never want to be todd.

Todd is dumb and terrible.

damn... i thought he had a wicked good comeback too.

Molly made a mistake that night.

Molly didn't make a mistake. This comment probably came after many depressing/non-responsive conversations with Beef and now she is frustrated. Again, sad. They should go to couples therapy.

A comment left by epicurus was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by blastradius, TonyHighwind, Scorpio_nadir, kenyot, alejandroadam, Darthemed)

My fiancee snores. Nearly every night I have to tell her to roll over.

So where was she when you-know-who visited?

What?

I think he's referring to a rendezvous with another assetbar poster you documented, in innocence, about a year or so ago.

Ugh. I remember too much stuff from assetbar, I don't know why.

Oh. Well, the fiance mentioned above was no longer my fiance by the time I met bixschmix.

whom we all used to live in fear would kick us apart.
(ooh!)

Chubbied for a hella subtle reference.

My girlfriend only stopped snoring about 10 minutes ago, and it was annoying the crap outta me.

just because you have sex with them, doesn't mean you can't kick them out of the bed afterwards
now come on, man!

I know eh, why doesnt Molly just kick him out so she can get some sleep.

And just in case it was at all unclear, I want to restate that I think snoring loudly and regularly is roughly on par with sexual abuse of a minor.

As a snorer (not just when I'm on my back either), I was tempted to lame you, but then I realized you've explained why girls only sleep with me once. I salute you, sir, for finding the true answer among so many possibilities.

He gets with ladies but in the end they do not like him!

Four snorers lamed you.

Or just child molestors who thought you were underselling their school-gate shenanigans.

I wanted to chubby his comment too.

Schnorrers?

Did someone call me "schnorrer?"

[IMGS OFF]

HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY!

Life is never neat;
Life is always bad.

i LOVE your icon. loooove it. what is it? live-action jetsons?

:) Thanks!
It's Twiki from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century:

You may be interested to know that live-action Jetsons is apparently coming!

I hope it doesn't suck as bad as the Flintones did.

Oh, pogo.

Of course it will.

Possibly John Goodman's least awesome role.

NOOOOOOOO

Once I got a dog that snore I could no longer get annoyed with the boy that snores.

Let sleeping dogs lie,
then you can ask a snoring
dog tell the dogs truth.


...Grasshopper

When my dogs snore I think it's adorable. When girls I'm sleeping with snore I want to smother them with a pillow.

The expression on Beef's face in the last panel. Pure Beef gold.

work on our Serrrrve

Serrrrrve!

This sounds so much like my girlfriend and me. So true.

still my favorite achewood strip.

I believe this is an Instance feared by the Beef.

this strip didn't do much for me.

then i started living with a girl.

now i'm convinced this is one of the most well-written things the internet has ever produced.

the best, POSSIBLE, use of a silent final panel.

I wish he'd farted in that last panel.

that would be just too much comedy for one strip.

No. I can't believe Onstad missed that easy floater.
Beef's expression is already right. It would have been perfect.

BRAAPPP!

Snoring affects peoples lives. She gets no sleep because I snore. I get no sleep because she's telling me I snore. Ad naueseum

I have been exactly where Beef is in the last panel.

He. Doesn't. WEAR. A. SHIRT!

He does sometimes.

Not when he's sleeping, though. It certainly wouldn't have helped in this strip.

When Molly turns over, only her upper body turns over. Her legs and tail are still facing in the same direction they were in when she sat up to push Beef. I realize cats are capable of this, but it seems a bit uncomfortable unless it is, in fact, the Position of Most Derision.

Molly is all hella concerned about The Apnea. She is too concerned to wait until morning!

Great. Just what I needed to discover existed right before I went to bed.

Man, you thin central sleep apnea's scary, wait until you hear about [i]central.[i]

God dammit BBCode, you SOAFB.

holy crap i think i have that.

the girlfriend tells me i sometimes cease breathing and then she pushes on me. then i wake up all frustrated like Beef.

does your whole body have to go numb for it to be true 'cos sometimes my left ring finger does so randomly. maybe that's a thing, though. or maybe pretend strokes. i don't know.

Whoa, I didn't realize Apnea was one of those diseases like Gout or AIDS that gets its very own "The" in front of it when you say it. I better update my list.

Don't forget The Diabeetis

Quote:
Symptoms that suggest sleep apnea are snoring, being overweight, hypertension, daytime sleepiness, periods where breathing stops at night, and frequent auto accidents.


wait, wait...what? frequent auto accidents ..? as a SYMPTOM ??

Ths first couple times I read this strip, I thought Roast Beef wanted to sew a tennis racket to the front of his shirt and a tennis ball to the back of Molly's. Which would have been slightly funnier I think.

it would make more sense, them being cats, and all.

Hahaha that was awesome

Serrrrve!

good joke, beef. bad timing, beef.

Tango of the Tangled Sheets, in the key of Bad Breath.

Beef would rather die than be pushed.

How's about you sew a golf ball to your panties and we use my NINE IRON to score a HOLE IN OOOOOONE !
