so what you are trying to say is "first"

FRIST POTHEADS!!!1!

I can envision your avatar like, shouting that at the top of his lungs really angrily, but also in that slightly joyful creepy way he does everything. oh god that's scary

The alt text was the best. I still use that analogy to describe dry heaves.

The alt-text is the reason I fived this strip.

The six hundo magic number is also cropping up again.

Onstad predicted the future on this one with the Pluto thing.

Yeah, I was all "heh, poor Plu.... wait a minute this was made in 2004! "

shut the hell up dick

Look who's bein' a dick about timelines.

I call applesauce. Achilleselbow does NOT hate to be a downer.

Correction: Playboy predicted the future.

From past experience.....ray's got the right of it.

"You're sellin' yourself toupees" is a great figure of speech

Alt text is key.
Chewbacca's mom is all banging on the door, YOU BETTER NOT GET ANY ON THAT SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR DRESS DO YOU HEAR ME CHEWBACCA

"Pissed-off piece of snow" = 5.

Chewbaca trying to lose weight for the prom - one of Onstad's best lines

That made it a 5 instead of a 3.

Sorry for the completely irrelevant post but I just pressed escape and CAUGHT YOUR EYE BLINKING

woah.

Ray tells Beef to reconsider the move; later he tells him to think about marrying his girl. For a guy who has such a tenuous grasp on how his best friend feels, Ray sure has a good grasp on how his best friend feels.

Chewbacca in a prom dress...

This is where my sorry little mind went.

Those are the exact same nervous twitches Beef makes when Teodor critiques his shitty shirts.

Pluto will always be a planet in my heart. And Tim Kreider's.

Chubby for the mention of Mr Kreider.

You...you have a very big heart. Thank you.

Ray: Tryin' to make this work.
Philippe: The rain is back!

I admire your diligence!
I think I'm catching up to you though, you are only four days ahead of me in our tandem journey through the archives.
See you soon!

I was not nearly this nervous about having my girlfriend move in with me. In retrospect, perhaps I should have been? We broke up for a while and even though we're back together now she does not live with me.

What a great deal of personal information to share on a completely public messageboard.

Would you like some more? We're not together now. If you like I will tell you how the final breakup transpired.

PUT THE FUCKING CAP BACK ON THE FUCKING TOOTHPASTE WHEN YOU'RE FUCKING FINISHED, YOU FUCKER.

Yes. Yes, please inform us.

Man, I feel like a creep asking this, but did it have something to do with those pictures of you and bixschmix that were put up on assetbar a while back?

And I have to admit that heccibiggs statement seems rather funny, as I just came across a post of her's in the archive where she was contemplating posting a picture of herself in a bikini so she could show off her thighs. That might be a little more personal than tekende talking about a break-up in rather minimal detail.

Why, she might be showing her ankles next!

Okay, way to take that post totally out of context and also completely twist it from its original intent.

I was just kidding, chief.

It did not have anything to do with the pictures of me and bixschmix.

The ex mentioned above and I had been broken up for some time before I met bixschmix, and yada yada yada I'm single once again. Have been for over six months.

She caught you looking at pics of that same plastic, rouged asshole again, didn't she?

Haha have you forgotten your post like five strips back on the threesome one?

I am absolutely going to use the phrase "you're selling yourself toupees" at some point.

But how ?

starting out the strip with ray having a small revelation through reading a magazine/newspaper somehow always signals a brilliant strip

I laughed out loud at "pissed off piece of snow."

Prom-dress, finger-food Chewbacca would still be the least scary monster on MTV's "My Super Sweet Sixteen."

And the most quiet.

"BUT DADDY I WANT THAT CAR!"
"Well you can't have that car, sweetie."
Cry whine tantrum waaah
Later...
"OH MY GAAAH YOU DID GET ME THAT CAR I LOVE YOU DADDY!"

EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE.

im glad that almost every woman i know is nothing like those vapid, self centered, idiotic, young broads.

There are a handful of things that still make me laugh out loud when re-reading through the archives. Ray's Chewbacca line and the accompanying alt text are in that category.

the alt text seals the deal in this one.
