If you're going to be "first post!?!!!!!!"-er, then try to not fuck it up next time cockhead.

---

Man, I like so much about this one: the fact that we pick up the conversation mid-stream, for one. Beef's awesome facial expressions. The fact that even though Beef has clearly grown himself a sack when compared to the Beef of a couple of years ago, he still manages to find ways to be a little bit polite when he insults someone: he intimates that Onstad went to 'Talk Like A Dick' school. This is clearly the kind of place you would go if you weren't actually a Dick, but you wanted to learn how to talk like one.

And 'Mr. Funnylaffs' is one of those great non-commital insults where you're essentially saying 'yeah, I know you're trying to be a funny guy, but I will leave it up to you as to whether I actually think you are funny'.

Am I reading too much into the drawings of the cat talking on the phone, perhaps?

Post by: andalucia on September 01, 2005, 11:08:59 am: I totally woulda called the thread "usually Charles Bukowski", but that's cool. Actually, I don't really even get the joke, since Bukowski's novels have seemed to me to be of a fairly standard length.

Post by: wombat on September 01, 2005, 11:15:06 am: I logged on to complain if "Talk Like A Dick School" was not the thread title. Thank you for sparing me the trouble.

Post by: jough on September 01, 2005, 03:43:12 pm: Oh man, I laughed FIVCE at this strip:

The fact that Onstad has farmed out work to the kids to do.

Beef's expression in Panel #4.

Talk Like a Dick School.

The off-camera "I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that."

The intimation that guys with small novels have small weiners.

Actually, that last one is probably the opposite of true, though - people with REALLY BIG BOOKS (or boats, cars, televisions, etc.) are compensating for their smallish cock.

Post by: V-Adore on September 01, 2005, 06:49:24 pm: Is it bad that I really want to read this? I'm picturing one of those transparent educational-product plots where Harry needs to grasp certain basic principles of electricity in order to, I dunno, keep Voldemort from magicking generators, or something. I really want to see Beef write this.

So I guess I'm saying that I laughed.

"Germane" is also totally a "talk like a dick school" word. I go to a school that at this point offers a minor in Talking Like a Dick, and "germane" is up there, as useful a word as it is.

Did you never play Arcanum? Magic can't affect generators because magik (sic) and technology are mutually exclusive. Geez

Then why not rename "V's Official Mod Policy re: Debates and On-Topicness" to "V's Official Germaneness and Civility Criteria".

Post by: wombat on September 02, 2005, 01:34:28 am: This one bears up under obsessively repeated readings.

I was thinking, I bet they have a big Talk Like a Dick department at Stanford.

So I suppose Stephen King would have an inverted cock about -25" long

Wow. And I can't even finish my book. Hell, I can barely get started.

One time I almost fantasized about writing one of those Little Golden Books. Almost.

I couldn't finish my huge book either, but I'd had a couple of beers and was hell of depressed...my printer said it was "OK" but it kind of snickered. I dumped that and got a laser printer soon after, but I have to keep making excuses...and I'm running out of them.

The beauty about shared rationalizations is that they arise spontaneously out of the aether. It's one of the few things that people who believe in evolution and people who believe in divine creation can agree on.

When they're not hitting each other with mallets, I mean.

Not an endorsement but for Education.

If August WANTS to write a huge book but has not yet, does he have no c*ck, yet desires a small one?

No, it would follow that you don't have a c*ck because you're AlohaDawg.
