Post by: Acanthopagrus on April 30, 2004, 11:54:06 am: I've got to be first this time god damn it!

Despite the fact that I have no idea what is going on with this strip.

WHAT DAY IS IT TODAY?

Post by: AugustWest on April 30, 2004, 01:11:33 pm: Man, Ray's in kind of a slump lately. Takin' it in the dumper from LN. Johnnie Cakes. Abbot and Costello. Heh.

Post by: arlucasinc on April 30, 2004, 01:21:19 pm: Man. Ray is just straight up getting beat down. I mean, not like he doesn't deserve a shot here and there, but dang. When it rains, it pours, I guess.

Who's next? Philippe?

Post by: V-Adore on April 30, 2004, 02:40:20 pm: EDIT'D

And wow, Ray is getting beaten down. I figure Philippe abusing him next is only obligatory.

I do love the background of Ray making the muffins dance, though. That's just classy.

Quote from: "snpp"
Abe: Aw, feeling blue, eh? I got something that'll cheer you up.[puts forks in two potatoes and makes them dance]
Jackie: [wheezes laughter]
Lawyer: [approaching] Sir, I represent the estate of Charles Chaplin. I have a court order demanding an immediate halt to this unauthorized imitation. Boys? [two large men grab the potatoes and forks and stomp on them]

I'm guessing he had LN get it slightly wrong on purpose. I mean that was so crazy long ago how can LN be expected to keep track of ancient history like that?

Icebox was a nice touch.

This I will use. fuck*ng classic.

Post by: slink on April 30, 2004, 06:05:33 pm: I was about to post first when I looked at it this morning. But decided I had better things to do than spend 10 minutes thinking of something to say.
Now I wish I had just to have avoided someone essentially yelling ' FIRST POST'.
God I fuckin hate /.

If I ever decide to be cruel to my roommate in re: the fact that he is a shut-in, this is the form it will take.

Off-topic: if you choose to be cruel to your roommate about being a shut-in, first ensure that you are not equivalently shut-in. Also: do not include an implied rider about not being enough of a "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" fan.

two weeks to go in this goddamn suite.

Nah, it's ok, since I know for a fact you probably won't run off into a spotty discussion over how much of an asshole Derek Smart is say. 

But maybe we can discuss Darl McBride being an asshole, or maybe Gabe Newell eating his sauce leak. 

</.F>

Only because I did actually try to use line breaks when I started this.

You know, it's all ching chong wing wong.

LN's Abbot and Costello was a Who's on First reference in response to Ray's "That's a Who song." LN got it right.

No. Just my complaint about slashdot types, and the fact that I can't switch between forum formatting methods easily.

Post by: Nabubrush on April 30, 2004, 10:18:34 pm: After reading it again, I think my favorite part is Ray's construction in panel two: "Ain't no parent in this day got no kid named at ALL Baba O'Riley!" Like the amount that a person has a particular name is modifiable. I just really enjoy that idea.

Post by: arkabee on April 30, 2004, 11:46:21 pm: i particularly like the pause while saying not to take any nickels, as if he were wondering if it were a trick question or not, but then finishing with gusto (!).

Post by: andalucia on May 01, 2004, 01:56:53 am: I've spent long enough on the Internet to be able to chuckle cocktail-party style at allusions such as this. This both pleases and worries me.
