I think Samuel H. Invisible sends me spam offers for low mortgages and cheap drugs.  

This Roast-Beef-as-karma-policeman line is satisfying.  You go, Beef.  You've been polite long enough.

[slink]

I love the desperation you can hear in Beef's old song about Samuel. It's like, he just wanted to be happy about it, so it doesn't even rhyme or metre.

Anyway. I'm off to stay in a castle for the weekend. I put money on it being cold at least.
I've decided it's going to be my equivalent of the aging, floundering musician, going to somewhere out of the way to be able to write music.

Wow.  This just gets better and better.

Wow.  This just gets better and better.

I agree. Samuel H. Invisible just takes it to a whole new, awesome level.

Is Ray reading something that includes a picture of a guy with a tattoo on his ass cheek?  Is he just casually viewing porn at the breakfast table?

Could be porn or just a magazine that features lots of tatooed guys like Rolling Stone or something.

But where was Beef's mom? He obviously knows her well enough to e-mail her.

It's one thing to leave children in the care of Sam, but old folks need a little looking after. That having been said, fuck that old (cat) woman.

So, the issue totally ignored in this thread:

What precisely is the etymology of "grelicious?" Is it just a portmanteau of "great" and "delicious," or what?

[sensate]

It's kind of weird. I'd usually take Beef as singing the song without irony, but this is too close. "I've never seen a doctor?"

It seems like he's been feeding a grudge against Gramma K. for a looong while. If so, then this isn't much of a revelation/catharsis. It makes him sound sneakier and more craven than I "know" him to be.

I'll have to grind this one up for a bit.

I could have sang that part of the song as a kid. Strange, my folks were both educated, but there was this thing about going to the doctor. "Oh, just put a gauze pad on that. It'll stop bleeding." I have a surfeit of scars.

Good, it's not just me.  I'm always afraid that I'm just missing some obscure reference.  I think that great and delicious is too easy.  There's got to be a better explanation.  Gree?

Yeah, my dad's a doctor, and his entire medical advice to me was "Suck it up"; eventually, this became "Here, take some antibiotics, they might help."

[arlucasinc]

Of course, by now I'm sure you've all realized that Beef is no longer punctuating.

Does this mean something?

you only posted that so you could say "surfeit".

I spent most of my early childhood in one doctor's office or another; I wasn't accident-prone, but from ages about .5 to 10 I had one continuous, throbbing ear infection, one that could occasionally be sent into retreat but took forever to actually finish off. I suspect my parents spent more money on Ceclor and Amoxicillin than they'll ever spend on my education.  I also somehow managed to spend the morning of my first Christmas in the emergency room, since I apparently woke up and was unable to move my head. (I just slept on my neck funny, turns out, but my parents always end the story with "thank GOD; we thought you had MENINGITIS.")

That said, I have a lot of friends who subscribe to the caveman approach to medicine. The best was a friend of mine last year who slashed open his hand with a boxcutter, and then, with total calmness, put a napkin over it and duct-taped the napkin in place. He had goddamn brass ones.
