Title: Bert and Ernie dolls - 3/26
Post by: Carlos del Vaca on March 26, 2004, 01:52:24 pm: I have nothing to say about this strip. Just wanted to start the topic.

Um, lemmee think... I bought a white turtleneck in Berlin. It was freakin' cold.

Is it that hard to buy something in a foreign country, particularly in a big city where the stores have cash registers? You take the coat up to the register, and when they ring it up you look at the total on the display. Of course, blowing your cash on 10 sodas at Herr Currywurst doesn't help.

Ray is just thrown from his usual cool pearch by the awkward situation. Soon some crazy german fans will recognize him from his album and we'll have the normal confident Ray back.

In fact none of the cats have been shown as smoking since January 13th (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=01132004). Did the Nicorette man come to town/Handin' out fun gum all aroun'/Slap down a patch/Unhook your latch/Get that monkey offa your batch

Oooooh-

The nicorette man he cares for your lungs
So around his neck a satchel is slung
It's fulla good stuff
That you don't puff
P. Morris leavin' town all in a huff

The nicorette man he'll keep you on kilter
Take away the baccy, take away the filter
There's nothing left
Don't be bereft
His cheeks are chiseled, his chin is cleft

Who me? I don't sleep no more...

Post by: jough on March 26, 2004, 10:07:11 pm: I find it disturbing that you know when the last date that a character was smoking - did you keep going backwards in the archives until you saw a fag in one of their mouths?

I swear, people, if you don't have enough to do I have lots of work I can give you...

Post by: slink on March 26, 2004, 10:42:01 pm: I knew.
Just out of the compulsion I have to go smoke.
I swear, walking past shops is hell!

Post by: miles on March 27, 2004, 12:29:35 am: I fear that the cats may have been targets of a new type of hate (http://www.smokingparadise.net/News/anti-tobacco_violence.html) that is becoming more and more prevalent these days.

I'm not sure I get the 'calories from Bert and Ernie' line. I'ma little slow today.

Maybe those who are touched in the head eat sesame street dolls for nourishment.

That is definitely not what I did, and as soon as I figure the way that I did do it which wasn't the ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC way that you suggest I did it (which I didn't) I'll tell you.

Title: Nipples!
Post by: foolio on March 27, 2004, 05:17:03 am: Why is one of Ray's nipples rectangular while the other is round?

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the Pythagorean Theorem. That or Pablo Neruda.

It's just where Ernie's plastic nose is poking through his flesh.

To come to this party embarrassingly late (and reeking of Louisiana, no less): I assumed it was a joke on his embarrassingly poor German, which might, say, cause him to accidentally request an Ernie doll when he actually desires a currywurst. But I may be wrong.
