Ha, I'm a fan of this one. It doesn't strike me as really "Achewoodian," mainly because I'm hearing Dr. Andretti as having a voice that doesn't really exist yet, sort of a dead-pan cynic.
Also: Zyrelax is not a real drug.

[jough]

Please tell me that you didn't have to Google for info about a drug that cures "piss shiver."

[Franz.]

Hahaha. Instant classic.

It has cured me of rereading the old strips and thinking, Hmmm, are they that good anymore?

[slink]

I think Doc Andretti's two lines - "A mustache?" and "Newspaper?" make it for me. Also, the rest is cool.
Ah, sweet bizarrity.

So wait, is piss shiver one of those things that we have to explain to women that we'd otherwise just assumed they knew about?

Actually, I'm kind of surprised (and a little relieved) that it isn't just me who experiences this. I mean, how often is one confronted with this phenomenon in another guy? In my case, never.

A resounding yes.

I thought I knew what that was (also called pee shivers), but then again it's never made me piss all over the floor.  That usually happens due to blockage or drunken bad aim.  So I looked it up on WebMD and, strangely, nothing.  So I googled it.

Complete with search strategies.

Apparently I don't have as bad of a case of it as Ray does.

They pass out at the urinal when their autonomic system cues a drop in blood pressure!

Good Christ. I Don't really shiver when I pee anymore; not sure why but I think maybe I've just become accustomed to the autonomic nerve signal load or something.

Passing out and waking up in a puddle of your own pee with a mouthful of urinal cake and some broken teeth sounds pretty unpleasant, though. If it's that bad, you would think Ray would just sit down.

I certainly can't say I have ever experienced this. Even when the bathroom is absolutely freezing-fuck*ng-cold. I stop shivering while doing other such things.
Bizarre. What a week. I learn about drivethru banks and piss shivers.

Best part of this strip: Ray's desperate need to make up this impromptu story about the guy with the fake mustache who uses other people's bathrooms. Wow. Just... wow.

[CortJstr]

I occasionally shiver afterwards. I thought people were aware of this just because of pop-culture references. I know I've seen it in a Rating.

[time passes]

Here it its. But I can't link it because it's in the book.

Styrofoam cups just feel wrong, as if someone distilled chalk-squeaking and piss-shiver into physical form and stacked it next to the decaf.

I guess you don't have drive thru banks in the UK? How about drive-up ATMs?

I really enjoy the implication that the latter is also a North American phenomenon.

Do you at least have drive through pharmacies? What about restaurants with curb-side pickup?
