@achewood Is eaten food technically rotting inside you? It's pretty warm in there. Technically, we all not only live in, but *are* "the danger zone."

Achewood / Oh, hey, this silly old title might as well change
« on: March 22, 2008, 04:22:43 am »
Oh noes, you've all deducted my four most closely guarded secrets — that I am Chris Onstad, my superpower is a large picture of a rat, my weakness is staircases with which I disagree about chaffing, and occasionally, I say "oh noes."

Well, actually, one of those is half-false. Can you guess which and how?

You don't happen to be an ultra-liberal economics major, do you?  Because if you are, we should just give you and a-cap your own forum right now. 

Why are ultra-liberal economics majors particularly susceptible to heated discussion with people they wouldn't normally care to debate? (Answer: three of them, one to screw in the bulb, the other two to I don't know how I was going to end this.) The answer to your question is, I'm a little liberal (by the US definition, which is maybe the opposite of arachno-capitalist's, I can't tell), but not a major or minor anything; I don't go to college, I'm educated on LIFE.

No point.  Onstad doesn't read this board.

Oh, I didn't mean like actually-viable merchandise. I mean, like, "I want to buy an aura in a box!" Like that, only better.

(great story about disabilities)

Supposedly, I have ADD with a microscopic H and that's why I take Concerta. I don't really feel right talking about my barely-disability in the same context as an FAS sufferer, but hey, we're all a little weird one way or another… :)

Well, good night, everyone. I'd stay up longer and type more letters but my stupid dsl is being intermittent (which is also why i've been slow to change my icon and reply here). Pleasant dreams!

D'oh — I just realized that "I for one… to rise after death" was overworked enough that a gramma error slipped in — either 'that' should be 'for', or 'to' should be removed. Whoops.

I've never even read the AssetBar, for the same reason I don't read the comments on youtube. I go to achewood.com to read awesome comics I come here to read awesome comments, as Pedro said the 'Bar is practically set up to discourage community and ongoing interaction and I'm a picky little nancy boy about who speak to on the internet.

I wish I had that ability, but nooo, every time I see someone post something on the net that I disagree with, I have be all taking the time out of my day to respond. Grrr…  :)

The options there seem to be either (a.) saying that you liked a thing (b.) flaming to stir up trouble or (c.) suggesting new merchandising possibilities to the management.

Hmm, that last one could be intriguing… unless you just mean variations on "thus and such should be on a baseball cap!" But, like, genuinely never-before-seen forms of merchandise, I'd be up for discussing… maybe someone should start a thread on that here…

Achewood / Re: March 21, 2008 - God, she's not at all what I wanted...

Repeating something I admittedly also wrote on assbar (i'm still just learning the proper prejudices okay): the expression of the mother chicken in panel 10 reminds me strongly of the main characters in a children's book about aliens on the moon. I'm pretty sure they were birdlike and enjoyed jumping, taking advantage of the low gravity, and possibly attended a "Mooniversity." Google, alas, has been of no help. Is this ringing any bells for anyone?

Wow! so many replies! I ought to say something, I ought. In fact, I will say many things!

3. Disliking unquality… The very obvious "That's so freaky!!" comments.

God, yes — I can't imagine what would motivate someone to sign up for a forum just to say something that basically can be said of the strip as a whole. And yet, apparently, people do.

This essay by Clay Shirky is where I'm getting a lot of this audience/community business.  Here's another one about how a group thwarts itself.

Ooh, fascinating! I can't really claim to understand the first one except that I like the word "loam," despite — no, perhaps because of — its unrevealed derivation. But to the second one, I'm all nodding and the like.

I had two tired, fussy kids.  They both fell asleep.  I'm much less irritable now. 

What do you mean by "had"…?  :-\

Quote from: Pedro Picasso and jldunston
(statements of courtesy and good will)

Aw shucks! Now I wonder: was "shucks" ever a euphemism? If it were I would take that back. Thanks anyway!

I am glad TOUAMB is here, but eternal life or eternal TOUAMB are not something I hope for.

I for one would never desire that a virtual community to rise after death and scour the Earth for the blood of the living. Those things always turn out to have unforeseen consequences.

Oh, and more more stupid question: Does the "automated voice" Pedro Picasso quoted mean anything?

thanks for the tip
i'll try it out now!

We don't have an auto-correct for 'AssetBar' yet? Come on Jough... that's giraffe in a barrel.

I hypothesize that the fix you're contemplating would change it to "AssBar," a term of derision I've only recently encountered and scratched my head over. If you'll indulge the curiosity of a newperson like me, why this generalized hate?

Achewood / Assetbar insists on shielding my eyes from lamed comments
« on: March 21, 2008, 04:28:08 pm »
Maybe this isn't the best forum to ask this in, but I don't care. So it's like this: Whenever I change the threshold for hidden lamed comments (or highlighted chubbied ones, for that matter), it doesn't register, and instead always resets to 3 for each. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on a Mac Mini running Mac OS 10.4.11. Any thoughts? Need any more tedious information about my computer? Want to share some of your own?

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Look at the last sentence. Look at it
