Merged.

Oh man, AugustWest just moderated the HELL out of these threads.  Is this the first time two threads were merged on TOUAMB?  I think so.

Anyway, this one isn't really all that funny, but it's very much in character for Ray.  This one isn't very visual so it was good thinking to just show Beef getting more annoyed, since the strip was mostly just about Ray going on and on about some gruesome photo that he wanted Beef to see - people do this to me all the dang time, gruesome or otherwise.  "OH, man, you have to come see this!" So I walk over, look at their screen, and I think a little less of them because of what amuses them.  "Ah, you're looking at a puppy stuck in a basketball hoop.  Thrilling."

I'm pretty sure the previous board lacked Mergability. WTG Simple Machines. Way to kick phpBB's ass. If only we could have "Mark Unread" and "Add Poll" buttons.

Is the reason 'add poll' isn't at the top due to a limit of 5 buttons? 'add poll' and 'mark unread' are interchanged in the top and bottom right hand button sets.

I think that this strip raises an important point about the internet.

See, to me the internet is basically good for four things:

1) Porno
2) Research/Communication
3) Looking at images of the disgusting - more specifically things that are usually blurred out in all other media
4) A small category of "other" diversions

When I've enjoyed unfettered access in my own private home, after years of access at work, the two things I went totally wild for where 1 & 3, and often the two merge together a la www.consumtionjuction.com.  A few days ago, my SO was revelling in number 3, specifically in a site about people who fetishize overeating to scary extremes, and he really really wanted to show me, and it was very much like the strip.  I didn't want to come over, but he so earnestly wanted to show me the picture of the guy who gets his pleasure by eating multiple buckets of chicken.  See, I've grown weary of the disgusting - I'm not any more or less grossed out by it, but I no longer have that urge to look at the sick side of things.  Or do I?  See, just writting this makes me want to pay a visit to www.rotten.com.

Whatever.

It's internet malaise - you can look at images of whatever you like - if you can be bothered to try, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered....

...Oh! Celebrity death morgue!  Cool!

Is it even possible to 'stumble' across goatse anymore? Don't they give you a big warning about that and tubgirl when you sign up with your isp these days?

More merging of side_show's 1 & 3: pornornot.net.  This site was created by a friend of a friend; the objective is to rate images on the site as to whether they are pornographic or not -- hence the site name.

And this is my favourite image of all.

This is the correct thread title.  Even though I never read the Da Vinci code, so I don't know if it makes any particular sense.
The novel begins with a man who has just been shot in the guts Nice Pete-ing himself with a knife in order to create a puzzle about as interesting as a weekday newspaper jumble.

I love this concept, because if there's one thing the Internet has given the world, it's fetish pornography so obscure, weird, or poorly-executed that you have no idea whether anyone would actually be sexually attracted to it. Thank God we have something to unobscure these things!
