You've been seeing other boards?

Did we already know that Ray's middle name was Quentin?

Oh I've been seeing other boards loooong before.  Just feel honored I stick around here all day.  Or annoyed.


Anyway, yes, it was brought up in a Ray's Place that his middle name was Quentin.

The senior citizen demographic will be instrumental to Ray's business plan

I'm not sure.  It takes a special kind of Mom to enjoy a ballsack hanging near their mouth while they talk on the phone.

A Mom like Paris Hilton.

I was kind of thinking that the rib-eyes, mimosas, glasses and plates were all in aid of distracting Ray's mom (who, by the way, is one regal looking kitty) from her original goal of seeing Ray's new business venture. Besides, he has already told her that they're making cards for kids who have to get operations on Christmas, so all he has to do is produce one of those. No ChatSacks required.

Hmmm, one of these Christmas cards?

He might be better off showing her the ChatSack.

I wonder if Ray's wearing trousers.

[trouserbat]

Is it just me, or does Ray's mother look quite a bit like Drew Weing's depiction of Philippe's? (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=03312003)

Also: Hi, all.

[jough]

Hi Trouserbat, welcome to the board.  Thanks for not being a cock to strangers with your first post.

I think Onstad established what Philippe's mother looked like before Weing did.  But I think this is what mothers look like in the Achewood Universe.  They look like... somebody's mother...

[CortJstr]

I dunno. I have the distinct feeling that unlike Ray & Philippe's mothers that Beef's mom would not look like she should be knitting.

Which reminds me. I remember 5-6 years ago when it was trendy for college-aged girls to knit. Is that shit over yet?

1) No, except that college-age boys are now involved, and
2) I personally think that, as trends go, it's pretty respectable. I am a big proponent in people knowing how to do useful things, and traditional fiber crafts are definitely useful. Besides, what's the worst this can cause? Too many bobble hats in the world?

To get back on subject, I sort of hope Onstad never shows Beef's mother "on camera." Much better to keep her as a shadowy background figure, like Gramma K.

Beef said something about (Molly) knitting in his blog a week or two ago. To paraphrase and extend his take on it a bit: I think that since women working jobs, such as office jobs, that were previously largely only available to men is no longer culturally a new thing in the US, there is no longer such a push to prove that they are "better at being men than men" (I think that's how Beef put it). This has had the side effect of de-stigmatizing the various crafts and skills that had previously been disregarded as just "women's stuff". This is an oversimplification, of course. There is the influence of the many other elements to women's liberation that I couldn't adequately summarize while writing this on the clock at work.

Not that I'm an ace sociologist or social historian, but that's how it seems to me.

(Woohoo! Writing this just coincided with an email from my girlfriend saying she got a second job interview!)

All pulling the strings behind the scenes; all being the root cause for many of the goings on in the Achewood universe

If Beef's mom is ever shown, she should be like Dr. Claw, all just showing one hand and the back of a chair.

It would be weird if she owned a cat, though.

You say that like it's NO BIG DEAL. What the hell is wrong with you?

Also, my carpool partner just knitted a fuck*ng mardi gras scarf that looks like the penultimate step in the manufacture of Muppet sausage.

A tiny can for you!
