Or, no, the alternate someone on FB suggests: it's just that Pat's method of advertising is saving people from eating potatoes.

It's like a "trade in your phone for an upgrade" kind of promotion: "Turn in your shitty potato for a chia discount." And they're not actually looking at chia, they're commenting on the existence of chia elsewhere in the world. This still requires some creative parsing of Penny's line in panel 13, but whatevs.

Still confusing me why Pat would care about the quality of the potato he's about to fuck up but nevermind. I guess if he has to stoop to admit potatoes are a thing, at least the ones in the house should be ultra-organic.

Also why would eating the smashed potato in the fibre bag make their bowel movements different? Maybe I should just set up that the whole thing was a build to a good U2 joke.

Yeah, was trying to work this out with friends on FB and remembered there's a forum. Came over here someone would have answers, but sadly...

Well, what I didn't know is that chia is currently a trendy health food thing, not just a novelty hair growing plant. So presumably what Teodor is holding at the end is Pat's own chia mix, and to be fair, the bag in panel 10 does not look like it contains a smooshed potato.

But the whole sequence of events seems like Pat's taking the potato, smooshing it, putting his own label on it, and running away after leaving it on the floor. So I don't get it either.

i used to be able to have lucid dreams, where i controlled the outcomes. as a result i had a ton of flying dreams, for years. i loved them. since i met the missus, i rarely remember a dream - maybe once or twice a year - and when i do, there's no outcome at all, just a bunch of random associations.

Here's my lucid dream story: I used to have like one a week, they were fun. Then I heard or read something about lucid dreams where someone said, if you can look at your hands in a dream, you are able to have lucid dreams. (Don't think the hands were necessarily significant, just that you could take a specific instruction into a dream.)

So I was dreaming, and I had the thought, hey, wasn't I supposed to do something? And I was like, oh yeah, look at my hands. And I did. And then I started clapping -- I think at that point I was showing off.

And then my lucid dreams stopped.

Don't say I never did anything for you.

Oh rock thanks!

And also thanks CortJstr!

...somehow Firefox remembered my password for the forum, 'cos I certainly don't. And when I logged in I had two spam PMs from late 2006.

So, this forum's basically new to me, and usually when I get to a new forum I look at announcement posts, check out the forums, look around and what's going, get a feel for the WELL SCREW IT. This is(n't) the official Achewood forum and if I feel like comin' in goddamn hot I think you people can handle it. Time from getting asian porn spam to clicking Post is gonna be roughly three minutes. I only got here looking for pictures of Bruce Willis in a shipping crate anyway.

Hello, Opus Interactive! How are you today?

Boy, some sysadmin's probably pissed right now.

Interested parties may note that set 4 is up (four new movies). Whoever Firelily is, he/she is dominating thus far.

Eh, you people liked this? I dunno. A couple people said this arc feels like fan fiction, and I didn't really see it, but Ray's (probable) father showing up cinches it.

I'll accept that good writers can get themselves out of cliches with style, but I wonder how he's going to do it. I was crap on predicting where this was going, so I'm not even going to venture a guess how he does. It'd take a better writer than me, anyway, so I couldn't even think of anything plausible and interesting.
