9/1/05: Talk Like A Dick School
« on: September 01, 2005, 07:40:51 am »
EDITED TO ADD LINK TO STRIP:

http://achewood.com/index.php?date=09012005

If you're going to be "first post!?!!!!!!"-er, then try to not fuck it up next time cockhead.

---

Man, I like so much about this one: the fact that we pick up the conversation mid-stream, for one. Beef's awesome facial expressions. The fact that even though Beef has clearly grown himself a sack when compared to the Beef of a couple of years ago, he still manages to find ways to be a little bit polite when he insults someone: he intimates that Onstad went to 'Talk Like A Dick' school. This is clearly the kind of place you would go if you weren't actually a Dick, but you wanted to learn how to talk like one.

And 'Mr. Funnylaffs' is one of those great non-commital insults where you're essentially saying 'yeah, I know you're trying to be a funny guy, but I will leave it up to you as to whether I actually think you are funny'.

Am I reading too much into the drawings of the cat talking on the phone, perhaps?

Heh, the whispering column of light is a perfectly Harry Potter-esque creation as well as seeming both magical and scientific.

I totally woulda called the thread "usually Charles Bukowski", but that's cool.  Actually, I don't really even get the joke, since Bukowski's novels have seemed to me to be of a fairly standard length.

I logged on to complain if "Talk Like A Dick School" was not the thread title.  Thank you for sparing me the trouble.

Shame on you all for taking this long to bring up Beef's expression in panel 4.

Oh man, I laughed FIVCE at this strip:

The fact that Onstad has farmed out work to the kids to do.

Beef's expression in Panel #4.

Talk Like a Dick School.

The off-camera "I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that."

The intimation that guys with small novels have small weiners.


Actually, that last one is probably the opposite of true, though - people with REALLY BIG BOOKS (or boats, cars, televisions, etc.) are compensating for their smallish cock.

Is it bad that I really want to read this? I'm picturing one of those transparent educational-product plots where Harry needs to grasp certain basic principles of electricity in order to, I dunno, keep Voldemort from magicking generators, or something. I really want to see Beef write this.

So I guess I'm saying that I laughed.

"Germane" is also totally a "talk like a dick school" word. I go to a school that at this point offers a minor in Talking Like a Dick, and "germane" is up there, as useful a word as it is.

Did you never play Arcanum? Magic can't affect generators because magik (sic) and technology are mutually exclusive. Geez

Then why not rename "V's Official Mod Policy re: Debates and On-Topicness" to "V's Official Germaneness and Civility Criteria".

Love this one. I really enjoy reading Beef's dialogue so I like any opportunity to have him talk for a long time and express a particular emotion.
