Okay The Achewood Guy, I say welcome, and since this is your first time I will make sure I use lots of lube...

When you post the first post about the strip, it is expected of you to post the perma-link to the strip, like this if you want to be fancy, or like this if you want to be lazy: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=01062006.  You can find the perma link to any strip by going to the archives and scrolling to the bottom, where you'll see the newest strip.  Click on it, and viola, the perma-links URL can easily be cut and pasted into your posting.

Also, you should include the full date in your subject line - right now it just says "Friday" and since most Fridays Onstad does post something, just calling it "Friday" doesn't help anyone much two weeks, months, years from now when they want to find this thread. 

Also, because you've neglected to do these things, unless you correct them yourself, you've created unnecessary work for the lovely board moderators.  Why unnecessary?  Because if you'd taken a little time to look at all or any of the earlier threads about the strips you would see that each and every one of them follows these rules. 

Also, it has been repeatedly stressed on this board that you should only post a "first post" if you actually have something to say about the strip, not just to be the first dog to piss on the hydrant, unless you indeed want to have everyone else piss all over you.  And if this is all you're in it for, I'm sure you can join some R. Kelly fan club somewhere.

I know you were an excited board-virgin, and now you've cum in you shorts.  It happens to lots of people.  It might have felt pleasurable when it happend, but now it's all about shame.  It's okay though.  We welcome the witty banter here, and since you are apparently The Achewood Guy, then you must have something constructive to add to the conversation.  What did you think of the strip?  Do you buy things you see on TV?  What are your thoughts on prison pen pals?

I take pride in my ability to "get" the intricacies of the comic strip's humor, which is why I was able to find laser hair removal so funny.

I also appreciate the jab at prisons, and those who are in them. 

Achewood should take on Garfield!  Now THAT'S what I call a photo finish!

Holy crap.. The Achewood Guy is not only the worst moniker ever, but man you are breaking HELLA rules here.  I suspect it's Onstad in disguise mocking us with his More Lyle comment and his complete and utter disregard for the fine system of checks and balances this fine board has in place.

Either that or my paranoia is acting up again...


Anyway, the comic made me go "Eh" as opposed to going "Hmmm", this is a feeling I do not like out of my Achewood.  I suggest we remedy this with, I dunno, something.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

Can people stress the inane rules of posting on the internet without sounding like they trapped their dick in the car door?

I don't think that's possible, unfortunately (And a tiny can of Dr Pepper for you).

I wouldn't worry Misterqueue, a little part of me always assumes Onstad when a troll shows up here, though I'd assume (hope) the good man has better things to do with his time than bait us. Poking fun at message board rules is pretty low on the funny scale for me, I mean yeah plenty of message board rules are anal retentive and even though people may sound fussy explaining them I don't think anyone is going to lose any sleep because someone broke them ('shit man, you broke the rules, where the hell am I going to get another one of those? Damnit, go see if you can find some pottery glue') .

This strip didn't do a lot for me, the letter seemed to be something that would happen to Roast Beef more than Ray but for the alt text got a little chuckle 'Overstayment of Welcome' with capitalization and everything is just a funny term.

Good to see you again, Mr. Bear.

<sigh>

I don't get what the third panel is - did Ray buy a restaurant menu off of QVC? Do they even DO that? Does QVC still exist?

Wow, message board meta-humor.  How very Andy Kaufman.

"Overstayment of Welcome" made me snerk.

That's the phrase that clinched it for me in the end.

I think it's just a framed poster of "Italy" written in fonts to represent the four seasons. Probably it was taken off the wall of a Four Seasons.

And I'm pretty sure QVC still exists.
