What a fabulous excuse.

Also, it's good to see the word "Jewess" deployed in its only proper context: freaking white supremacists out.

I don't think "pickles on parade" is the most inventive non-catch-phrase that Onstad has invented - not even recently.

I think I'm going to sit this storyline out.

I'll be over here if anyone needs me.

Roast Beef is exactly the right person to have this conversation, he knows exactly where to take it in a polite yet show stopping manner.

*takes a moment to bask in the ludicrous number of post glory*
I don't know about you Jough but with a post count like that I'd be hesitant to post again, just because I'd hate to spoil the nice round number, though I guess now you can aim for 4444.

okay this is a totally annoying thing to pick out, but i did so now if you don't want to be annoyed don't read the rest of this

so the white knight knows that Jaime is a cat, right? but he tells Beef that they had a "geek chinaman" what could kill and cook a civet cat.  does Beef's Jaime-moustache fool the TV audience into thinking he is a man?  a man named Raoul Cousins that worked "on computers"?

i do like the knight character, though.  he's all interrupty and complimenty.

Man, "pickles on parade" is all kinds of better than "sweet sticky jesus on a bun". I think I'm going to sit this thread out. I'll be over here if anyone needs me.

Pickles on parade is an interesting image, though not a handy phrase I will co-opt any time soon.

You know.. just one pickle at the front with a feather hat and a baton all blowing on his whistle.  Maybe 62 Dill marching behind him blaring various horns.  One trips on a rock and you just know he was fresh cause he goes all CRUNCH when he hits the pavement.

Either that or it's a euphamism for c*ckes (er.. penii?) on parade.. which is a whole other image actually come to think of it.  (there now, didn't that brighten up your morning?  Vigorous!)

For me the pickles on parde thing is somewhere between raining on a parade and rubbing salt in a wound so... pickles.

Looks like it's time for me to fire up easytoon and finally make my forum avatar.

I enjoyed this strip because I love reading Beef-dialogue and for not many other reasons. It's really hard for me to get a proper image of the guy on the phone just from his implied southern dialect because he doesn't have an appropriately racist font. The squarish, dropshadow bubbles come close, but those only seem to evoke volume, and possibly old-fashionedness, not truly White Supremacy.

"Pickles" is a euphemism for defecation:

Though the image of pickles wearing hats and playing various brass instruments is a novel one.

What would be a White Suprematist font? Fraktur?

A civet cat is actually a skunk, so this doesn't really represent a conflict of interest.

Did you know?

I didn't.  I had no idea.  And I didn't really like today's strip that much.  In fact, this thread isn't doing much for me.  Little bits and pieces are great, but I don't think I've laughed out loud more once.

When Ray and Beef say it, I hear "Hy-may" in my head but when the racist on the phone says it, I hear "Jay-mee."  

So is Beef a Jew just because of that whole Yo' Mama Law of Judaism?  I remember the Greek Orthodoxy being a big part of his upbringing...
