31 Jan 2006 - Whose ass am I kicking?

The strip

And that friends is how Mr. Raymond Q. Smuckles attempted to win that Ol' Great Outdoor Fight, by callin' in favors.

Well both you and I know how far that gets you here in Achewood, surprisingly far. 

Also, since when did 2...5 = 215?  Is this new math?

Blood of Champion sounds like a food brand.
like, maybe sausage? or... hm.
it definitely sounds like it should have a little "TM" after it

Like those sausages made of clotted blood. Black pudding, is it? My Spanish grandmother called them morcilla. But even before I became an ovo-lacto-vegulonian I wouldn't even try one of those.

It also sounds like something out of the witches' chant from Macbeth. You know, Eye of newt and toe of frog / Blood of champion and tongue of dog...

So, I'm confused.  He doesn't have to qualify because he's BOC, but then he asks who he'll fight.  Won't he fight 3,000 guys?  It seems like the single fight would be for qualification purposes.

If he calls up all 2,999 fighters and calls in favors in every strip for the next 3 years, I'll stop reading.  At some point.  Most likely.

He's fighting the one guy at the hotel to PROVE he's BOC.  If he can beat a previous champion then he can prove that he has the Champion's Lineage.

I fail to see how this is easier than birth certificates though.

Birth certificates are a way for PUSSIES to hide behind THE MAN.  No flimsy piece of paper is gonna back you up, not where you're goin'.

Why would something like the G.O.F. even need preliminary rounds?  I would expect they would take just about any stiff that called in to fill the 3000 man quota...

Ah but this isn't any stiff, this is Envelope Martinez, the 1997 champion with the animatronical xmasesquey display!

Did I mention his name is Envelope?  Did anyone else see this?  The man (cat) is named Envelope here people.  This shit is crazy!  MUY LOCO

So is the favor being asked that Envelópe should throw the fight? That seems a little dishonest, even for Ray.

Ray's ethics are not those of the common cat. The Blood of Champion flows through his veins, and thus is he above the primitive morality of the feline hoi polloi.

The english call them black pudding and it's not heavily spiced. The spanish version is much spicier, tastier, and I enjoy it. I've had congealed duck blood at a chinese restaurant and that was sans spices -- it scared my co-diners but it wasn't altogether bad, just not very flavorful, like meat jello.

Blood sausage, per se, is by no means the worst thing to eat. (I believe, here even, I stated the worst thing to eat was placental blood sausage served with cheese made by milk lactated by men who were forcibly given hormone injections, and cultured with rennet from a panda.)
