I definitely got lost at the oregano part. Also, hello, I'm new here.

The guitar music sounds like the beginning of Metallica's "Fade to Black" a little to me, or maybe "Sanitarium."

I did get that they were being coy with each other by the end of the first row of tiny panels (god, this format rocks) but it wasn't until I saw the little bag until I knew what was actually going down.

And doing cool spy-like stuff is fun even when no one is watching.

We always make a point to welcome Matt and all of his many loaves.  And so welcome to you.  As for your getting lost, after the oregano part, you move on to the final frame on the right.  Afterward, you can read the part below and appreciate the guitar tabs which are indecipherable to the general public.  Be sure to convince yourself that this last part is funny.  It'll be hard, but don't worry, life's better when you think things are funny.

In order to keep from getting lost in the future, please remember left to right, top to bottom.

Wonder what's going on with Beef, Molly and Vlad?  And shoudn't Ray be having Beef's back?  You know, best friends and all.  He's just getting high and giving driftwood to Teodor.

one hundred and fifty dollars for a 1/2 oz? damn. That's a good price.

Like I said, it's been a while.  But it at least seemed reasonable.

MP3 versions

Hi there. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I ran Pierced Lemur's provided midi files through Timidity to get fairly nice .wav versions of the music, and then used BladeEnc to produce (probably illegal) mp3s.

Sequence One

King (tempo reduced by 10%)

As a generally drug-free person, I can't really judge portrays of trippyness, but this whole episode seems to be about what I expected. Brings back fond memories of Beef in the golf cart. The multimedia aspect is also fun. (I wonder what the bird/hallucinatory skeletal guitar player was strumming during Beef's bad trip?)

I started to play it, but it's been so long since I've played to tab that it was too frustrating.  I didn't have the patience.  But it's inspired me to pick up the guitar again.  Thanks Teodor!

Me too, I didn't even get the oregano reference.  I thought it was just a bunch of nonsense strung together until I saw the baggy.

Or listening.

It's true.  They probably have perfectly good cause to be careful.  It's a lesson Henry Hill could have learned.

We continue to be all about education.

As another generally drug-free person myself, I was relieved that I understood what was going on without needing the messageboard to explain it to me.  Because I really can't afford to fall any further down the coolness scale, really.

Dealer who is also my RA: ...What? No.
Me: Oh, okay, what's up?

I've been nothing but a drunk for many years now, which is probably a damn good thing since there's no fuck*ng way I could afford $150 for a half.  $35/quarter back in the day.

Blade? Damn, it's all 1998 up in here. That was abandoned by its deveper 2.5 years ago. It's all about the LAME baby.

As for legality, I think Fraunhoffer pretty much gave up on requiring a license fee for encoders. Although Winamp, WMP, iTunes, &c all ship with encoders now anyway so you must have legal one on your machine somewhere.

But isn't your tax rate on booze like 80%?
