What does this phrase have to do with Achewood!?  All I know is that there  T-shirt, but I don't remember seeing it in any strip. Is it a reference to something else?

As far as I know, it's just a T-shirt slogan. I know that the Beef-and-headphones graphic is from a strip that doesn't contain anything about science -- it's from after Ray lays Beef off from their software startup, revealing that Ray just gave him a blank "mix tape" as a stipend.

It's just a slogan that exemplifies Beef.

I don't think he really lends himself to catch phrases so one kind of had to be invented.

I do not think that sentiment is unique to Achewood, although that exact wording evidently is - at least according to an advanced Google search for the exact phrase.

What is Tycho?  And what is Penny Arcade?

Is this a band?  A film?  A comic book?

You must understand that Google was no help to me with this one.

Ah, so it's a web comic.

Damn those hyphens in urls.  That shouldn't be allowed.

Let this be a lesson, you crazy kids - never put a hyphen in your web address, or no one will find your site.

www.pennyarcade.com is a pr0n site.  Hence the hyphen.

Yeah, I noticed that.  And not even a very good one.  No freebies.

I can see that - it might look like Sardon Ichee; what the frell's a sardon ichee?

It's like a company I used to work for, "Banker's Exchange." They were going to get the entire business-name-dot-com thing until they realized it might read "Banker Sex Change Dot Com" - so they settled on www.bankersx.com. Whee fun.

I've heard stories about a few of those domains. Snopes has a lot of that kind of dren. My favorite is a guy I e-mail for work uses tnaccess.com, which I can't help but read TNA every time.
