All Chucklebot strips are gold

What is Ouzo anyway?

anise flavored liquor from Greece

and Turkey. Tastes like licorice dissolved in Everclear.

Nuh uh, the anise drink from Turkey is called Raki.

IT CAN BE LIKENED TO DEATH.

No sober human chooses to drink Ouzo.

Hell, I'm drunk on raki and still would not choose to drink Ouzo.

A comment left by caseyb3 was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by vheissu, capital, joamiq, Archon_Divinus)

[[raises hand]] i have. its easy.

I bought a bottle once and I kinda liked it.

I invented a drink when I was in my undergraduate philosophy program. You should know that I was not a wealthy man.

The drink was to mix a pitcher of blue kool-aid and then add 6-10 shots of ouzo to it.

It was called a Blue Socrates and it tasted like God's love.

appropriate. God's love is wrathful, painful and angry.

Ouzo also can be likened to death. Actually, I think Ouzo and death might be synonyms.

I drink Ouzo a bit, although not as much as I drink her Italian cousin, Sambuca, which I feel is the best of the "liquorice dissolved in Everclear" family.

The only liquor which I cannot physically bring myself to drink anymore is Raki. This is because when I was 19 I drank some Raki (admittedly proceeded by a lot of Bacardi/cokes and too much of my father's wine collection) and then went to bed. In the morning the vomit in my hair and on my pillow indicated to me that I had thrown up in my sleep. It stank of Raki, as did the vomit I spent much of that day hurling out. The smell of Raki has turned my stomach ever since.

Years later I attempted to "get back on the horse" and bought a bottle of Raki along with some other liquor I was having for a party. Somewhere on the trip home the square corner of a bottle of mescal cracked the Raki bottle and it mostly leaked out into the trunk of my car. Fate, I decided, does not want me to drink this horrible Turkish spirit.

It took me about a month to get the smell out of my car. Given the amount of ill the smell of Raki makes me feel, this was not a pleasant month.

...that sounds like it would taste like Jager

No.

You, sir, are a liquor fool.

Vile beyond human comprehension

Raki is along the same lines. Tastes a lot like absinthe. It makes you hate God.

Oh damn I totally didn't see this until after posting my above comment. Sorry.

So long as we get the word out and one human soul is spared the cruelty of these liquors, we can rest easy.

In each other's loving arms.

Oh, totally

By the way, hecci, I am not religious, not religious at all

Really? I kind of like ouzo.

Absinthe is terrible, even mixing it with water and dissolving sugar does nothing to curb the horribleness. I still have half a bottle from 4 years ago.

A key ingredient in the Esther Rantzen.

He's right, Matt Damon is pretty cool.

maybe so, but he just looks like a doughy kevin bacon to me

If Matt Damon heard you say that he would fuck you up Bourne Identity styles.

all putting a magazine in your toaster, the macgyver of time bombs.

macguyver is the shit. the hot and stinky shit.

Chubbied for comment avatar synergy. You are totally calling him out on that.

I wonder if Lie Bot was lying about not knowing who Matt Damon is?

Oh Chucklebot, the same thing happened to my TI-81 calculator; after years of straight math it started giving my gay answers.

Q: TI-81 calculator, what do you look for in a mate?

A: 55318008

I think you meant 55378008, but still, here's a chubby.

Why would the T1-81 calculator be looking for a boobless mate rather than one with boobies? I mean, hey, to each their own, I'm actually pretty open-minded once you get to know me.

Because it turned gay, remember? Just a few posts back.

Touche, gormster. Touche.

He seems so pleased that this is just now coming out. Like this is some big joke he's been squirreling away and he can finally let out the punch line.

The things he'll do for a chuckle.

this is probably the best way to come out to close friends and relatives. "Matt Damon. He's pretty cool, I hope he poses nude sometime"

I have known I loved Chucklebot since I was 29

What the hell is up with the whole "I've known since I'm twelve" thing? Almost every gay guy I know says that, except me.

Er, since I was twelve. Damn typos.

Twelve is an age of powerful formative boning thoughts; I've known I was an ass man since I was twelve.

I know what you mean. I've gotten a couple of "I've known for a long time,"s, but it always ends up being about twelve.

Me? Eighteen. Figure that out.

Do you live in (insert stereotypically religious part of your country here)?

It's the age when you start noticing Bruce Weber photos.

On the other hand, everyone else knew since I was six. It was the dresses and constant grandstanding. I am a low-key, straight acting sort of guy now, BTW.

Alt text: "Monday is the Phillipe strip."

i used the reasoning of this strip when people asked about my pack of djarnum blacks, but substituting johnny depp.

smoking sucks though.

did your lungs bleed

Oh, Djarum Blacks.

So tasty.

It took me several seconds of deep thought to conclude that you were not saying you smoke Djarum blacks (speicifically) because you are gay, or because have known since you were 12.

Just ... thought you should know?

It's 90% funnier because of the font.

OMG! I just made Microsoft Sam say " I have known since I was 12" BEST. THING. EVER.

I imagine Chucklebot as having the voice of Stephen Hawking.

I love that Vlad focuses on the make-outs. Really, what else do you do with someone you're attracted to?

Get rejected.

Tekende was working some rough chuckles a year ago.

In my brain, Chucklebot talks like the Fludd.

MARIO, DO YOU LIKE MOVIES BOUT GLADIATORS?

I have no idea why someone decided that this deserved a lame. Have a consolation chubby.

This is good comment synergy, johnnybaverage. I am proud of you.

The last panel could not have been done better.

It's been said before, but all the robots wear pretty badass shoes.

Apparently, some robots have toes to be able to wear sandals at cool parties.

chucklebot is great

thought he was going to kill his girlfriend. Maybe he's been plotting it since he was 12.

chuckle?
