"Damn, Cornelius, you know when people bring their own drinks, it makes me get my sad on."

But what about the side dishes?

[CortJstr]

Dammit people you're missing the most imporant part: we never found out about the side dishes. Based on the last panel it looks like it might be counter service but no details are given about the side dishes. I hope this is covered tomorrow.

[Bobby Isosceles]

I love how he rap-talks, Dolemite style.

Now see, Ray saying, "Ain't no dude gonna lay down on day three just 'cause I gave him a drumstick," highlights one of the biggest problems with having an "army" in the GOF. There is one individual winner, people. That means that SoRod will basically have to cold betray each and every one of his men on Day 3--turkey or no turkey--and kick they asses old school, ya heard?

I don't think that will be a problem C Money. His men know the rules, they've probably watched the fight in the past or have been in it, so they know what they were getting into by joining Ray and what will happen on day three as time runs down. The thing I'm worried about it not Ray having to betray his men, it's his men betraying him. I imagine this happening: Ray's army knows that Ray is hell of tough, that's why they joined him in the first place. So they will want to remove him from the equation as soon as possible by ganging up on him. This is the only smart move that his army can make if any of them want a chance at winning. Leaving Ray to live until the end for a mono a mono fight is foolish.

Check out panel 3 - since when does Ray talk to Beef like that?

Since he has been wearing the hat.

V, you are correct: RUFUS is by far the best name.  But one has to wonder if Paul Judas was the winner's real name, or if the name was bestowed upon him by those he betrayed.

This is my Biblical Speculation for the Day.

[Turbo Ninja]

The extra day's wait was worth it for the lovingly-rendered TDK cassette tapes.  I will always wait patiently for a strip if it means we're rewarded with some straight up Illustrator ARTISTRY.

[Cap'n Squeakers]

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but this latest strip totally supports my private theory that Beef is planning a palace coup on Day 3.  Beef clearly knows and loves the 'fight, since small times.  Similarly, he has been, so far, a master strategist.  While certainly loyal to his friend Ray, he has also been known to sass backto Ray and even have moments of no respct for him. I tihnk this will all combine in a perfect storm on Day 3, when it becomes time for Beef to lay down for Ray.  Instead, fed up with Ray's wishy-washyness or lack of respect for the fight or whatever, he will stand up to him and knock Ray straight into the dirt.

[Emmoh]

I disagree. I contend, that if push comes to shove, precedent indicates that Ray will lay down for Beef. The question is, will Beef want him to?

[Drygioni]

A good tactic would be for Roast Beef to spread a little rumour in the ranks that the 'Millwall football team think Leander's mosher lot are complete pussies, at least that's what Barry King told me while he was saying how great your mum was last night'. Before you know it, all thoughts of ganging up on Son of Rodney are GONE, to be replaced with lots of killing and stuff. Then Ray stands on the top of the pile of bodies.

Win!

[Formica]

Is no one else curious about So-Rod being summoned by the Fight staff? I sense impending meddling in the Fight. Someone doesn't like this BOC.

[Emmoh]

Wha...isn't it just for his feast?

[CortJstr]

I disagree. I contend, that if push comes to shove, precedent indicates that Ray will lay down for Beef. The question is, will Beef want him to?

Normally I'd agree but everybody knows Ray as Son of Rodney. So throwing the final with Beef would tarnish his dad's name. There's more to this than just the usual knuckleheads since small times.

[Drastic Action]

Check out panel 3 - since when does Ray talk to Beef like that?

I thought it seemed rather natural for him.  I can see him standing around the pool, or the bbq, and saying that to someone over his cell, after asking if they were coming for some brats and they failed to answer the question.  I think the main difference right now is that he'd back it up with violence.

Yeah, and he's just being summoned for the feast - note he's being summoned to the snack tent, though that seems an understatement for a place where there'd be enough turkey for an army.

[Formica]

Wha...isn't it just for his feast?

It certainly could be. But given Beef's interaction with the hot dog slinger/covert operative in contact with "Tower One", I get the sensation that the Fight operators do more than just neutrally observe and facilitate.

But yeah, it could be that they're just summoning him to get his bird and brandy.
