Great. Just great. Now I'll feel guilty every time I hang up on a damn(ed) telemarketer.
-
Not me. They're calling from HELL for a reason, after all.
And it's not the 13th yet.
-
Isn't it, Jough? Isn't it?
-
Glad to see Phillippe is still the Phillippe we know and love.
I should answer the phone like "I am happy to talk to you!" and they would be all "..."
-
Notice that in the 'old school' phone booth, Beef is dialing the numbers on the receiver itself.

Shhhh. He all straight up changed it when we said it was a Hershey not a Snickers!
And I adore this strip. Laughing out loud at it.
I just love the idea of some satanic voice filter for cold calling.

How does one come by money in Hell, with which to buy KFC and deli sandwiches? Especially just after arriving?
-
BECAUSE
-
Apparently, you can take it with you. But the difference is that in heaven, you don't need it.
-
Hell is chock full o' multinational corporations. Hell is all about product placements and branding.

There's a roll of Benjamins in the Brat's glove compartment.

Yes, and Pacific Bell is Hell's most preferred telecommunications provider. And, I'm guessing, Onstad's least.
-
Let alone the fact that capitalism seems pretty Satanic to me...

That's the thing, the only way to make money is by working at those establishments. And you know customers in hell (especially demons and shit) don't care about keepin' the bathroom neat.
I'm guessing Beef had a couple bucks on him. I mean if he could bring the spew on his chin, why not?
-
Well, honestly, if Hell can give you a Brat and a lederhosen hat, a few bucks should be easy. Especially if PacBell's subsidizing this whole operation.
-
So, Philippe is all "happy to talk to you" and smiling. Did they not find Beef's charred and vomit-smeared body yet? Or does Philippe's frozen grin mask his shock and sadness?
What happened to the bodies, anyway? What happens if the cats' souls escape from Pacific Hell? Or were were they assumed bodily into damnation, like the Virgin into Heaven?
-
You'd think dying three times would quench one's thirst for suicide, but no, Beef wants a fuck*ng deli sandwich from 7-Eleven.
- Hey, Ray! Can Roast Beef read?
- I don't think so, why?

friday the thirteenth is especially unlucky when it falls on a saturday.
I got in a fight today.

An actual fistfight with dukes? You didn't mention the outcome of said fight which doesn't bode well. If one wins a fight, one usually doesn't fail to mention that fact.
Aw geez, Beef is dead again.

I process Balance Transfers all freakin' day - Philippe's right to be mad.

no just a fight where someone jumped on me because I was trying to make him leave a party because he was being violent and people pulled us apart but not before I could rip his earing out, which I got 150$ for today at the pawn shop...
can you go to hell for that? He DID threaten to kill me.
I think the point of the franchise business in hell is the awful effect these franchises have had on our world, dramatically reducing the quality of life for everyone, and even going to the extent to cut the actual quality of product in order to better fund the people who lie to the world about the quality of the product. I ate wendy's the other day and I still want to undo that move. I hate fast food. Ray likes it, which is probably a good thing in his situation.

Rockin' !
Also I have never in my entire life eaten at McDonalds. I'm not only proud about this, I am smug about it.
-
Please understand that I actively detest McDonalds. I never ever willingly eat there. However, I must admit that I am taken aback by the idea of never having eaten at one.
McDonalds is such a ubiquitous element of our culture. It's almost like saying you've never listened to rock music, never had an alcoholic drink, never smoked a cigarette. It's not that these are necessarily good or healthy things to do, it's just that they are almost universal.
On further review and noticing that your location is UK (presumably this stands for the United Kingdom and not the University of Kentucky (Go Big Blue!)) this is somewhat more understandable.
I'm not really condemning you for not having eaten at a McDonalds. I suppose I'm just suggesting that you have missed an important, if negative, element of modern culture by not having this experience.

If the same goes for any other fast good chain, then I'm glad I'm not the only one, despite the fact I am proud of it. It's just nice to see I'm not the only one this wise!

I don't know if things have changed or not, but I was in the UK awhile ago and although the MdDonald's 'brand' exists there, I can tell you that the food I got there was not similar to a McDonalds in the US. I didn't like it, but I think it was more because of how different it was than what I expected.
I once heard a quote from a famous English person who remarked that the English embarked on a long period of empire-building and colonialism principally in order to find something good to eat.

Allow me to raise my hand in shame on two of those. Okay, technically one, as I've sampled alcohol several times, but I've never had a full drink and am not sure when I ever will. As for the cancer sticks... no. Just no.
This may mean, though, that my only method of death will be to puke in a light socket, at which point I'll have to buy horrible sandwiches from Hell 7-11's and everything basically turns into one of Eliot's darker poems. (I saw the swarm at KFC, so many / Who would have thought that Death had claimed so many?)

Absolutely. After good old greasy giraffe 'n' chips, Indian food is the way to go.
It is ALARMING that someone feels eating at McDonalds is as normal as taking a piss.
I once ate a chicken sandwich 'thing' at Burger King when I was helping my Uncle to move house. I was 16 when that happnened. That's as far as it ever went.
-
Yep, I'm of the opinion that there is a time and a place for McDonald's, no matter how evil and repulsive it may be. I live in a small town, and McDonald's is the only "restaurant" (as it were) within the town that's open 24 hours, and one of their crappy sundaes or (veggie)burgers can taste awfully good when it's 2 am and you're a little drunk and with a group of friends...
But never by any means would I eat there at anything approaching a daily basis.

See, there are multiple problems here in the US: first, there is a McDonald's literally in every neighborhood of big cities, and in every small town. There are McDonald's by every off-ramp of every highway. There are McDonald's in every mall food court. There are McDonald's in nearly every Wal-Mart I have been in.
The marketing to children PLUS the convenience to an automobile-associated society PLUS the semi-addictive nature of sugar and fat-laden food (and, it's very predictable in it's offerings and level of quality) has made many people in many parts of this country slaves to McDonalds. I eat at McDonalds maybe three times out of the month, I also pop in for coffee or soda when I feel like I need it. It's so much a habit that it isn't too far from taking a piss (although I worked in very dodgy parts of town in my career so I would never actually go in the bathroom most of the time). In fact, I feel like I should think about it more and consider alternatives more often.
I probably won't though. But I should.,
-
I once followed my brother into a McDonalds "restaurant". The enclosure smelled like rotting pork and sounded like screaming babies. That is all.

Yea. My ex dragged me into a Burger King once. Which was utterly painful. It was kind of repulsive, with scummy people everywhere too.
And when we went to see Revolutions, Pitman decided to go get a McDonalds on the way back, which meant standing in the place at 11pm or something. And it was vile. It just smells so bad.
Plus, if you don't get mayonnaise you have to kill a member of staff!
-
[...]I could rip his earing out, which I got 150$ for today at the pawn shop...
Dude, that is just *so* wrong.
You mean, "for which I got $150 today at the pawn shop" - watch out for those complex prepositions.
As for the rest of you, with your "they're/there/their" problems, are you just trying to piss me off? Sheesh. And just a day after V-Adore threatened to make it clear to all of us what the differences are.
:disgusted:
edit: Ah. Filters. Well, ***** you, you ******* filter ***.

ahem -- earring

Quite.
First time I've been really pissed off at them!
Next thing, it'll be throwing apostrophes at our its's.

Having just returned from England I can attest that they are every frickin' where.

itses?

That's funny. They're about ten minutes away from here, too.
Maybe I'll stop by and pay them a visit, demand they habeas corpus a rabbi, shaman, witch doctor, and priest for my perusal.
-
hey guys I know this is a little off topic, but I just want to clarify:
"there" is a place, "they're" means they are, and "their" is a possessive 3rd person plural.
mixing these words up will earn you my undying hatred for all of eternity.

Yes. You're so right!
Whoever censored them up, thankyou you just made my day!
(Although they've done it to you are, contracted, now. Goddamnit! I'm going to start killing people!)

its's, according to my writer'scraft teacher.

See!
Either way, getting itses and its's wrong is less painful than Jough or JL screwing with all our its and it's!

I think JL has had enough fun by this time.
Obscure censors removed.
