[palm trees]

yes. excellent.
i'd be laughing less if beef didn't have exactly the same unreasonable fear of feminine hygiene products that i [and i know it's not just me, guys] do, except ramped up to a horrifyingly extreme level.

[andalucia]

Yeah, I feel stupid buying all that silly-named stuff, and I am a full-on girl.  
What kind of store is Beef in though, with giant alphabetical shelves?  Weird-looking empty bookstore?

Also, his expression in the last panel took me a while to notice, but it's kind of repulsive, no?

Looks like a gymnasium to me.

I think his expressions in this are superb. Makes me think of Microserfs and the whole bit with Fry's and feminism!

Uh, he could just be at a CVS.

Between Knowing Smile, Titty-Buxx, and Beef's final expression to the camera this is the best laugh out loud strip in months.

How about the way Beef answers his phone?  WHAT!?

Why does he carry a mobile phone if it irritates him so?

[arkabee]

Why does he carry a mobile phone if it irritates him so?

because he has to, for some reason, and even though it irritates the bejeezus out of him to be called in the middle of something, rather than just push the "silence" button on the phone and let the caller get voicemail and call the caller back at a time when it would be more convenient for him to call them back he feels COMPELLED to answer the ***** ##### phone and talk to whoever just called even if it is in the middle of shaving his head and thus is always irritated when he's on the phone and also has weird pavlovian responses to phone rings too.

um,

i'm just going out on a limb and guessing...

[V-Adore]

I think the thing about those feminine-hygiene products is that even women feel embarrassed to buy them. This is why men get the call to pick some up "while they're at the store" so often.

(While I have no desire to restart the gender wars for which I already locked a thread today -- allow me to yield a point gently to the guys: you don't have to buy this shit. Even condom-buying has become a macho studliness errand now.)

Also, "area wipes."

[Bozack]

Okay, best of the week. Titty-Buxx! His face at the end! THE FACT THAT BEEF IS GETTING CHASED BY FEMININE PRODUCTS!
I used to get all freaked out, and then, one night, I was with A Lady, and as I was drifting off to sleep, she tapped me on the shoulder, and sheepishly explained that That Time had come, rapidly, and without warning. In my sheets. And on me. Deep inside of me, a voice screamed, and then was silenced, as I looked up at her, smiled, shrugged, and took the sheets downstairs to the laundry. If you want to get over menstration fears, have someone menstrate on you. WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

It's nice to know that the Internet is still a reliable source for home remedies.

Also, yeah: I carry a cell phone. A stunningly primitive one that is, at the very least, five years old and has probably given me like nine kinds of head cancer (are phones generally supposed to get really hot after prolonged use?). And I fuck*ng hate it - I hate talking on the phone, generally - but I am Absolutely Certain that the day I selgiraffely turn it off or fail to drag it along will be the day that something terrible happens to a friend or family member. SORT OF LIKE SPIDER-MAN'S ORIGIN, COME TO THINK OF IT

That phone looks like it takes 4 D-cell batteries.

[St_Zartan]

Yeah, and I can talk to any one of my nine favorite Sesame Street characters at the touch of a single button!

[jough]

All electronics will get hot after prolonged use.  Most phones do, although the past two tiny ones I've owned didn't get *as* hot but yes, that radio transmitter will generate heat.

Zartan, your phone is indeed primative, but probably gets much better reception than modern phones that operate at lower wattage.  This of course also means that you are having higher power radio waves going through your skull.  Surprisingly, this causes far less damage than drinking a few beers does.  

So pop a can and call someone!

Oh yeah, the strip.  Well, I did laugh OUT LOUD at the names of the FHPs so bravo, 'stad.

It's one of the better "Beef Being Terrorised By His Own Imagination" strips out there, although the best was when he buried the new shirt.

Also, palmy, if you're not going to use the best line from a strip to start the thread I'm just going to have to not let you post first anymore.

Band name!

Dude, he did.

[CortJstr]

Don't forgot that many of the newer smaller phones don't include analog connections any more. Which sucks because analog has a longer range if you're travelling or just live in the sticks. So you've got that going for you Zartan.

OT, do stores still do "price checks"? Because that would amplify Beef's horror nicely.

ok i'd be mad at this, but "palmy"?
oh man,
