Okay, people? David Blaine is not just an idiot. He is also a magician/illusionist and he is actually very, very good. Ignore all his stupid stunts, watch his television show. I'm talking about stuff like: he asks someone to think of someone they love, really hard, then pulls up his sleeve and there is a tattoo of their face on his arm. I don't know how he does it, but damn it is impressive.

Dogg, haven't you seen the "revealing the street magician's secrets" show? They totally busted all of his "best tricks", including that one.
The only thing that David Blaine is the "David Blaine of" is being good at selling his same old parlor tricks to a network, and making their cash disappear .

Watch me.
People like going to magic shows because they are interesting and fun to watch . A dude sitting in a tank of water is neither of those things. It is just a dude sitting in a tank of water. Any other circumstances, you'd pull the guy out, but this one's douchey enough to do it for attention.

I'm not married but I'm in a pretty serious relationship, and there are times where this exchange actually happens:

"Okay. ...wait, what? Fifteen hours ?"
"Yeah. I penciled it in on your calendar three days ago, remember?"
"What? I don't think I'd... Oh huh, there it is. What do you know. 'Boozing, 7 PM to 10 AM.' ...hey, are you still good for having dinner with Karla on Tuesday?"
"God, is she the one dating the corporate lawyer?"
"You know it."
"Ugh. All right."
"Bye! Don't lost a toe."
"No promises."

I constantly worry about getting married, whether my biological clock is running out, whether she was really the one and I should have popped the question...
Of course, I'm just on the tail end of the bad part of puberty, so it's really more so just neurotic ramblings whilst I delicately carve an elegant ring out of my girlfriends fingerbone.

Hey FP, that sort of thing will probably never stop, since us guys can theoretically impregnate a women until they day of our death (or after with frozen sperm) it's hard to ever know if we're done, if this is the last one, if we should settle down. I'm settling, BTW, but only after multiple fuckups.

You look like you are going to enter a plane to Guatemala, but first you are giving me, your son, a smile to give my trembling chubby cheeks courage. You will bend down and take my hand in yours and say "C'mon, Oliver, cheer up. I'll be back before you know it." Of course you would not use any demeaning names like Sport, or Champ. You would truly treat me as an equal.

Lechatbotte, you are okay.

We have spent far too much time looking at pictures of distended anuses and being tricked into watching Rick Astley videos. There is no hope.

Cynicism and resignation are not specific to any generation! They are as old as language itself. I think they were the first two words of Sumerian that were translated. (I made that up.)
It is ALWAYS counterintuitive to speak of things actually making a difference, or being what they seem. You want to be moved. I hear it! But you don't trust it. I will land flat on some of the readership, but who knows who may be brought alive, if only enough to hope for the possibility of possibility?
The machinery of being human is designed for one purpose only: Survival. This we are expert at! How do I know? 'Cause we're all here! Cynacism and resignation are good for surviving life. But if you ever want to really live, you gotta give 'em up! And I don't care what your age or technological awareness, that ain't normal for a human to do! But it is the only door available to go from surviving life to thriving and living life.
I have commited my life to bringing this about for everyone I can. Commitments like that call me to choose against the resigned asshole I otherwise would be, and make a difference. There only is no hope when you say so. Good news, you can always say differently.

The machinery of being human is designed for one purpose only: Survival. This we are expert at! How do I know? 'Cause we're all here! Cynacism and resignation are good for surviving life. But if you ever want to really live, you gotta give 'em up! And I don't care what your age or technological awareness, that ain't normal for a human to do! But it is the only door available to go from surviving life to thriving and living life.
I have commited my life to bringing this about for everyone I can. Commitments like that call me to choose against the resigned asshole I otherwise would be, and make a difference. There only is no hope when you say so. Good news, you can always say differently.

Hey y'all. Heard my name being mispronounced.
So, if I get ya' straight, guitarhero buddy, you're saying that what you don't get must be stupid? And that you will get me to heel with threats of being ignored? Man, I sure remember being young and thinking I knew it all!
Now I'm older, I really get that I don't know much, and that knowing really isn't a very powerful place to be. I hope you'll try "getting" this next part (not understanding it, just "getting it).
Trolls is trolls. And they can be found in the same place as cats in boots. Story books!
But this is not a story book! This is your one and only life. Every moment is precious. None of them come back again. Every time you dehumanize another human being to any degree, you destroy workability for yourself now, and into the future. What does it mean? Just more and more things on your list of what you want in life get pushed further and further away from today, and closer and closer to that "someday" that comes two days after you're pushing up daisies. You really don't have time for it!
Also, I'm not here to change anything, or anyone. The more you change things, the more they haven't really changed. I'm here to have a conversation. In the end, the only two things that we ever really have in life are the eternal millisecond that is "right now" and the conversations we fill those "nows" with. There is nothing else!
And these words we use have power like we don't even begin to realize sometimes. When you say, "Troll!", you create something. Then you resist it, and it gains power and persists. When I say, "No, human being.", then I create something else. Then I accept him just the ways he is and just the ways he ain't.
Now, one of two things will happen. If he really is a human being who wants to shock, terrorize, cause fear, feel all powerful and cool because of what he can do here, he ain't going to get what he needs from being accepted and loved. He will leave. A feared and ignored "troll" is much more powerful than a loved and accepted misbehavin' youth!
But if instead he is (and I believe this to be so) a young man dealing with what it is to be human in the best ways he knows how, treating him with love and respect will inspire him to live up being "human", instead of down to being a "troll". Chubbies and lames, a gentle nudge ("That was a bit over the line."), honest requests ("please don't do that anymore.") - we can't help but see more of the brilliance that he possess, and less of the bored playing around to see what will happen. But this only works if he is sincerely accepted and loved!
Either way, he wins, the community wins, life itself wins.
I know your smart, Guitarhero. I've read your posts. I get why a lot of this may sound like hoowie. It sure don't jive with what the world's been teaching ya'! Just try it on. You don't have to believe it, or accept it or anything. Just try it. It either works, or it don't.
Authentically: if you ignore me into the JIA, and all the people I love here turn their back on me, it really wouldn't arrive for me as a harm. I'm still in the conversation, even if all I can do is be the listener. And I'll still leave cat paw prints all over the place so that if anyone ever unignores me, they can have a laugh. Who I am doesn't require you to hear it for me to be it.
Invidious has made an assessment of what a real troll would be like. No human being is made of such stuff. You give away too much power when you make someone a troll.
Nice-on-water thinks I'm just optimistic. There is some of that, but really, I'm not being optimistic about any of you. I just see you differently then you see yourselves. It is not optimistically. It is who you really are. And who I really am. If you choose to see what I see, you can not help but be what I am.

The pocket all bursting on one end, the cheese running out into a congealed pool on the plate. You know the pocket will be dry on the inside and you think "Should I just eat the cheese? What does that make me if I peel the cheese off and eat it? Who am I?"
Then you take a few tortilla chips and use them to scoop the cheese up so that you aren't a guy eating melted microwave cheese with his bare fingers.
Fuck Hot Pockets.

Actually I would just inspect it at eye-level for a few seconds then slide the whole thing out of the pocket, into my mouth in one piece, feel the intense heat, run around the kitchen screaming, then when it finally cools I chew it 3 or 4 times then swallow it all in one huge biley chunk of pepperoni, mozzarella, and crispy crusty tender flaky crust.

People sometimes use the ? as an instrument of tone rather than punctuation, which, while linguistically DICK, is still quite effective.
Eg: "I have to go to the store."
"I thought you already went."
"Uh, no?"
That's what I thought you were doing.

Thank you for that insensitive rant. This is not the place to discuss whether or not America was justified in Iraq.
This is a place to respect those who died on 9/11.
And America rocks. Maybe this administration is terrible, but America still rocks

I didn't even realize he was a troll until after I commented. I figured that he was just someone who was a little too upset about the war and wanted to voice his opinions.
I'll ignore him.

Actually although AIU has hella trolled in the past, as Garcon he wasn't really trolling, he was ranting. The difference being that he isn't just trying to get a rise out of you, he is saying what he thinks about a subject (albeit aggressively). Auto-ignore did an excellent job of preventing the board being spammed to shit, but I don't like that I have to unignore garcon manually because everyone reflexively ignores him (although it is certainly a price I'm willing to pay, since the only reason he chilled out is thanks to auto-ignore).
or perhaps my jerk tolerance is way high.

I hate to agree with him, but he has a point, though a horribly made one. This may not be the place for a political discussion, but appending "God Bless America" to "respect for those who died" every time someone mentions 9/11 is already a political move, even if it's an unintentional one. We can all agree that it is a bad thing that those 3000 people died, not because they were Americans, but because they were people. To attempt to tie that sentiment to some sort of religiously-tinged patriotism is offensive both to the memory of the dead and to the people that would still like to pretend we don't live in a theocracy.
America neither rocks or sucks. Like most other countries, it is an arbitrarily bounded territory of land where a bunch of completely different and unrelated people and groups live under a common ruling body. You can have opinions on the government, the people, or perhaps the Constitution, but "America" as a whole is a fake idea.

This is true, but I myself wasn't trying to tie that in religiously. I just think that America is overall a good country, and I would rather live here than any other country. I like more things about America than I hate.
Also, I was just trying to annoy garcon.
I am an atheist, by the way, and I never say "God Bless" anything . And Christian fundamentals who say that God is on our side annoy me too.
You think that America is a granfalloon, and I guess I agree with you. But as a place, and a government, it is good enough for me.
Garcon views me as a jingoistic red-necked moron who holds positive feelings for something for no good reason. But just because I didn't give a reason why I like America doesn't actually mean I have no good reason. Garcon is simply assuming I'm a moron.
My point is that I feel like I mischaracterized myself, and my feelings towards America are pro, and garcon needs to learn how to deal with people better.

Yea, it's kind of funny. For a lot of us who are dissatisfied with things about America, it's purely an ideological matter. It horrifies me to think about the war, Guantanamo, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians, tax dollars being used to overthrow democratically elected rulers in Latin America and elsewhere, and the people who want to ban evolution along with abortion and stem cell research. But all it does is horrify me. I don't have friends or family in the military or in Iraq, and my field of work is somewhat insulated from the dismal economy. Despite my best efforts, I have yet to knock anyone up, and if I do have kids they probably won't be going to school in Kansas. So yea, for my immediate life, America's a pretty good place and I appreciate that. I just know there are a lot more people both inside and outside the country for whom America's policies haven't been so great, and this is what bothers me. If only I could learn to be completely apathetic.

You have it a little backwards, my friend . All I've done is state my opinions in as nuanced and rational a manner as I could. I made no assumptions about your views or anyone else's - you are not a part of my cartoon show ! But of course you simply glaze over what I say, because you already decided long ago that I fit into your general archetype of those brainwashed hippies you have spent much of your life disdaining and whom you think you have completely figured out. You're right on man, I'm just another silly leftist brainwashed by academia. Hey, did you know that we like to sit at Starbucks and wear Che Guevara shirts that we bought for $20 while ranting about the evils of capitalism? Oh and we all totally worship Obama like he's some kind of god even though we hate religion? Isn't that hilarious? It's like...it's like we all think we're nonconformists, but we're conforming to each other!
But not you, no. You're much too smart for this, and I'm sure you love making these very original and clever critique on those right-wing blogs with flippantly cynical names that you sometimes visit. Oh yes, we're just a bunch of silly youth following a fad. And because you are older and therefore have an infinitely more wise and non-cartoonish view of the world - the kind that comes not from any particular knowledge but good ol' fashioned experience - it's not even worth it for you to make a logical rebuttal to any one of my points. Rather, you will just sit back from the keyboard with a wry smile and chuckle at my naivete.

I like to alternate. The Bible-thumping, flag-waving, pro-war rednecks are too easy of a target, though that doesn't make their existence any less real or the fact that they vote any less scary. Then you have the basic knee-jerk hippie liberals who embrace a whole slew of contradictory positions, such as being for women's rights but unwilling to criticize other cultures where they are not valued, being for illegal immigration but against the corporations that thrive on it, and disliking organized religion but embracing the latest eastern spirituality fad, all this combined with a misguided optimism and faith in "the people". And then you have the self-styled libertarians and college Republicans who love to think of themselves as independent-minded rebels against all those liberal sheep with their peace slogans and stupid folk music. They are very eager to prove that their decision to conform and follow the standard business path is actually the pinnacle of nonconformity, which they do by wearing suits to every class and quoting Ayn Rand incessantly. And the cycle goes on and on, each group one-upping the other.
I would like to think that during my life I've progressed through the second and third stages to where I am now, which is that of a cynical Socialist realist whose ideal form of government is enlightened despotism. But this is beside the point, which is that ALL political attitudes are formed around a desired self-image and in opposition to an undesired caricature. Which is why I consciously try to do nothing but state each of my positions as clearly as I can without resorting to the common trope of making assumptions about the unstated worldviews of imaginary opponents. Of course, I can do the latter as well.
So, back to the point, which of my stated positions struck you as cartoonish?

First, I congratulate both AIU and Achilleselbow for well stating a view that may or may not be recieved popularly. I call it risking it all on authenticity.
Two quotes sum up my view:
"The United States of America has the worst form of government on earth, except for all the others."
"Apathy is a small man's premature death."
Ach: be glad you feel, think and care. It's what makes ya' human! I invite you to inquire into what is lacking, the absence of which makes the difference in this country being all that you envision it capable of being, and then stand in the spot of being about that happening. If everyone took the time to do that, what would this country and the world look like?

"So, we noted the color and viscosity. It was a brighter yellow, and a thicker brew than what we expected. Its bouquet had a warm high note of a protein-rich, spicy meal, with a low garlic note and a tannic hint. We suspect that its production lacked sufficient water, and had ingredients consistent with too much Crab Louie, alcohol and tea. This vintage will not age well."

For those not interested in scouring Cornelius' blog posts for the reference (like me, it would seem), Mr. Bear found a vial of sodium pentothal in a hidden drawer in his bar, and he and Roast Beef decided to secretly try it on Ray to see what kind of stuff he would say.
The result was markedly different from this strip, but I don't think we need to fault Onstad for continuity, do we?

He's good stuff.
A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?
Yes. Just dig it. That's right, the Mascara Snake. Fast and bulbous. Tight also.
Thank you, but I am not underage, and do not currently like this song as much as you do.
Sorry.
But I give you a chubby for offering to expand my world (in regards to the music and the alcohol, which I have never tried before.)
early records much more worthy, you can keep your damn pabst
I prefer the earlies too, Spotlight Kid counts as early in my book. I also like his late stuff (Shiny Beast to Ice Cream For Crow). But the ultimate is Safe As Milk for me. Stand alone, it's like the Mecca of blues/garage rock.
Nice, but I prefer this version: Donovan-Atlanta .
I was so happy when I finally got that reference. I was like "Oh! Donovan!"
And my family was like "Wha . .. ?"
True story.
Also, I love the line "and the other so-called gods of our legends, though gods they were".
It is a very nice song, though. Really.
I have to admit being extremely partial to Donovan as well.
Donovan -- the British Dylan? Discuss.
I actually met Donovan at a show in Omaha one time. He was only like five feet tall and most of that was hair. He was drinking a Heineken and being a total douchebag. He ignored me completely and just talked to the girl I was there with, looking her over with a practiced lechery. Afterwards, we yelled at him across the bar "Sorry about 'Don't Look Back', it made you look like a jerk!"
Now look, Donovan has every right to look at your lady with sexy intent. He's Donovan, and that's just fine.
Don't Look Back made everyone in it look like a jerk.
A lot of celebs are jerks.
Look at John Lennon.
I still like him, though.
His daughter was my babysitter when I was a kid.
Ione Skye?
I think she married the main guy from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
*checks*
Yes, she did.
Unless he had another daughter.
Yes, it was Ione Skye.
She also married Ad-Rock of The Beastie Boys, which led to one my my favorite lines:
Ad-Rock's down with the Ione
Listen to the shit cuz both of them is boney
Gotta do it like this like chachi and joani
'Cuz she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni
My name's Ad-Rock and I'm a Scorpio
Don't ask me cuz I just don't know
Somethin Somethin Somethin
Chillin with Mario
I love it when you spaz out all alone.
A-D-R-O-C-K
I use the microphone like Picasso use clay
A fine example of how quickly the Beastie Boys descended into mediocrity.
Is that Beastie Boys lyric a reference to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in any way? I ask because Mr. Bungle has a song called Squeeze Me Macaroni, and there's been a feud between Mr. Bungle singer Mike Patton and Anthony Kiedis for maybe almost 20 years now.
Good line either way.
No, it's a reference to his own wife.
Kiedis' feud is with Patton 'stealing his schtick' even though everyone in the late eighties stamped around with long hair.
(They may not know Dylan!)
One time I touched Neil Young's arm. On purpose. I actually asked him if I could, and he giggled and proffered it.
His arm hair was a delicate silver color.
Basically, by seranading woman with banjo, you are saying she is worst song played on ugliest guitar.
No, you are literally performing a worst song on the ugliest guitar.
is that Daidai as in "To Life" from Fiddler on the Roof ?

Just tell me that you didn't just lame yourself. It's just a typo, honey. It's not life.
You can't lame or chubby yourself, it must have been someone else.
(Dammit, I just lamed myself. I...I need to go change.)
Oh god, I lamed all over the bathroom floor! Traumarama!
I'm writing you a prescription for your lame shivers.
"Doctor, when I pee, I come."
"Really? Is that a bad thing for you?"
"No...not at all...I just...I just want to know if it could kill me."
"No...it shouldn't."
"It shouldn't or it won't?"
"It shouldn't. Modern medicine is a crap shoot at best. Do you want some sort of...drug?"
"You can make me stop coming when I pee?"
"Sure, a simple sedative will do it."
"But the pee/coming might not kill me."
"Yeah, it might not."
"Yeah, ok, thanks."
"You want the sedative?"
"Fuck no."
Even bad sex is . . . . pretty good.
I'm sorry. Where do you arrive?
dopamine island
Just turn left at Seratonin Straits
Man, I sooo resemble those remarks!
Why'd you have to do a thing, dogg? Your avatar is so awesome, too.
The Achewood First Post Police placed daidai under close watch.
... but Lietenant habnabit had a personal connection to this case, he respected daidai and wished he didn't have to do what he must... stay tuned.
That's tough. I remember when I was under Close Watch.
Or am I still?
We trust you ever since you've been tagged.
You really should stop scratching at it.
Hey, is my probationary period over? I haven't seen any trolls lately. And I'm off the sauce, mostly.
"And what would you like to do to the whole world pogo?"
Google was no help with your reference. Five obscurity points. Next play?
I believe that was Donald Sutherland in Backdraft. He was an arsonist/pyromaniac who was up for parole. He looked completely sane until Robert De Niro asked him that question and then started ranting about burning the planet earth with living fire.
Yes, that's what I thought, too. I finally got one!
You are both...
CORRECT!
Show them what they've won loneal...
Wow, they've won her? How will they both, oh ... nevermind.
For whatever reason (no good one), I assumed you might have been a Donald Sutherland fan.
Woodenteeth has a crush on loneal and wants her to fit in with his impressions of the perfect woman pass it on.
You wanted me to post on new comics, this is what you get: grade-school.
I'm going "what?"
So was I! Comment First, Slap Head Later.
So's your mum...
and your face.
Tooth, I really like Sutherland, way back from *MASH* days, but haven't tried to see everything he's ever been in, like I did when I fell for Renee Z (that's over now).
"Tooth". I like it. As an Australian, any contraction of a name is a welcome thing.
Glad I was right about you being a fan... and as far as my obscure reference goes... well, you know, just thought, that if I pitched that curve ball and it stuck I might get picked up for the big leagues.
Better than Woodsy. Or Woodo. Which is about as imaginative as most Aussies get.
Tooth tells the truth. (Just playin' with your name.)
