I don't mind when people discuss revolting matters with me, but I don't understand their mindset in doing it.
-
Beef's reaction is entirely proper.
And so is Ray's.
-
Isn't it usually proper to not title the thread with the alt-text? Can we call it "wet pile of pink marshmallows" instead?
Ray on the computer usually equals dialogue that doesn't make a whole lot of sense
-
heh! (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=01102006) i hate it it when people show me gruesome things! it's like "the whole point of it being gruesome is that it's unpleasant to see! why would you want to see something upleasant!" you know?
-
omgggggggggggg In this strip, Ray was probably the Ray-i-est of all time. I liked it alot.
Except I don't like that panel where Beef is rolling his eyes.
But then again, I just remembered. (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10242002)
Man, nevermind.
-
Posting here since this was posted first. Some people should check before double posting I suspect.
And alt text is fine for a title, even if wet pile of pink marshmallows is good imagery.
I found this one to be exactly in Ray and Beef's particular idiom so to speak, but strangely don't have much to say about it other than that. So I guess that's good that they are how I would expect them? I do not know.
-
I have a guy at work who likes visiting all these "funny video" web sites. He used to send links around to such clips as "Car Sliding Backwards Downhill Thanks To Faulty Brakes" and "Four Black Men Wailing On An Asian". It's not like I started actively disliking the guy just on the basis of videos, but these things pile up.
-
Membership agreement to what??
The Gruesome Photo of the Day Club?
-
This is the correct thread title. Even though I never read the Da Vinci code, so I don't know if it makes any particular sense.
-
Merged.

That is all kinds of sinister, yeah, as is the "something's happening here" of the last panel. Beef's silent reactions and eventual departure are the best, though. He knows full well that Ray won't take no for an answer, so why bother?
(You know Ray is one of those guys who says things like "hey, I think this milk went bad! Taste it for me, would you?")
-
I see what you are saying V-Adizzle but I'm not sure the milk analogy really works, on account of Ray genuinely thinks this picture is cool. No one thinks bad milk is cool. He likes/is intrigued by this picture and wants his friend to share the experience of viewing, to the point that he even offers to just describe it (we all know he is too clueless to realize that Beef just doesn't care; he just thinks Beef is too busy to come see, and so wants to do him a favor). What I'm saying is that this strip is about friendship. I like looking at friendship, in a comic!

Yes, this sort of thing happens all too often in my house. I like how Beef is just sitting there reading a book. He's not sharing his book with anyone.
-

I think the "something's happening here" is Ray realizing he's having a sudden surge of inspiration. There are times when you just can't control the flow of creativity, you know, unless you are wearing one of those crude, embarrassing undergarments.
-
Panels 4 and 11 rule.
Next Ray sends Beef some avi's of stick figures kung-fu fighting.

Merged.
Oh man, AugustWest just moderated the HELL out of these threads. Is this the first time two threads were merged on TOUAMB? I think so.
Anyway, this one isn't really all that funny, but it's very much in character for Ray. This one isn't very visual so it was good thinking to just show Beef getting more annoyed, since the strip was mostly just about Ray going on and on about some gruesome photo that he wanted Beef to see - people do this to me all the dang time, gruesome or otherwise. "OH, man, you have to come see this!" So I walk over, look at their screen, and I think a little less of them because of what amuses them. "Ah, you're looking at a puppy stuck in a basketball hoop. Thrilling."

I'm pretty sure the previous board lacked Mergability. WTG Simple Machines. Way to kick phpBB's ass. If only we could have "Mark Unread" and "Add Poll" buttons.

Is the reason 'add poll' isn't at the top due to a limit of 5 buttons? 'add poll' and 'mark unread' are interchanged in the top and bottom right hand button sets.

I think that this strip raises an important point about the internet.
See, to me the internet is basically good for four things:
1) Porno
2) Research/Communication
3) Looking at images of the disgusting - more specifically things that are usually blurred out in all other media
4) A small category of "other" diversions
When I've enjoyed unfettered access in my own private home, after years of access at work, the two things I went totally wild for where 1 & 3, and often the two merge together a la www.consumtionjuction.com (http://www.consumtionjuction.com). A few days ago, my SO was revelling in number 3, specifically in a site about people who fetishize overeating to scary extremes, and he really really wanted to show me, and it was very much like the strip. I didn't want to come over, but he so earnestly wanted to show me the picture of the guy who gets his pleasure by eating multiple buckets of chicken. See, I've grown weary of the disgusting - I'm not any more or less grossed out by it, but I no longer have that urge to look at the sick side of things. Or do I? See, just writting this makes me want to pay a visit to www.rotten.com (http://www.rotten.com).
Whatever.
It's internet malaise - you can look at images of whatever you like - if you can be bothered to try, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered....
...Oh! Celebrity death morgue! Cool!

Yesterday I stumbled upon goatse and I laughed. It was just so quaint!
-
Is it even possible to 'stumble' across goatse anymore? Don't they give you a big warning about that and tubgirl when you sign up with your isp these days?

More merging of side_show's 1 & 3: pornornot.net (http://www.pornornot.net/). This site was created by a friend of a friend; the objective is to rate images on the site as to whether they are pornographic or not -- hence the site name.
And this (http://www.pornornot.net/view/70) is my favourite image of all.

Um.
How would Carolus Linnaeus classify that particular fetish, I wonder?
-
This is the correct thread title. Even though I never read the Da Vinci code, so I don't know if it makes any particular sense.
The novel begins with a man who has just been shot in the guts Nice Pete-ing himself with a knife in order to create a puzzle about as interesting as a weekday newspaper jumble.

I love this concept, because if there's one thing the Internet has given the world, it's fetish pornography so obscure, weird, or poorly-executed that you have no idea whether anyone would actually be sexually attracted to it. Thank God we have something to unobscure these things!

Mom? Dad? is that you?

Fuck! If only I hadn't been born, then I wouldn't have clicked that link. Fuck you, God!
