Nobody even noticed Beef was missing. I go back and forth between disbelief and remembering what a loner he is and that he lives in Ray's pool shed. Also, no Molly.

Oh, and speaking of dying of shock, I wouldn't have minded seeing Little Nephew's face about now.

This is because it only happens when you are also #####less and kneading dough with your soft bits (Are these also your lovely lady lumps?  I do not know.  I heard that somewhere.)  So it doesn't happen that often.

I can't decide whether Phillippe's hands are trembling or if that is meant to be a normal handshake in his panel.  Either way, it's a polite way for a person who is five to greet a man who has ripped the face off of a country singer.

Nightlife!

Emeril, in my head, sounds like the lead ***** gangster from Futurama. (Let's shoot bullets out of our guns at them!)  His dialogue sounds much better when you imagine that it had to fight through a mouth full of caramel or peanut butter.

I think it is the sign of a good friend when he can say "there are rumors of great things in the future for you," see that you are uncomfortable, and then ask about a band you both like.  This is an easy way to get someone to relax.

Maybe this whole thing will attract some fly honeys to Ray.  The man (cat) needs some play for this.

At first I thought Emeril was saying that Beef was on the Ruling Body all along and was really excited to see how and if Beef denied it. But now I see he's just saying this could happen as a result of Ray's win(?)

Trying to guage each character's reactions.

Teodor - Holy crap disbelief from lack of sleep. I wouldn't be surprised if he's twitching a little bit.

Phillipe - Doesn't really understand the whole picture. But knows they've done something good and hard, so he's congratulating them. Remember, they've only been gone for 3 days in Real-Time. ;D

Vlad - Will know be trying to impress Ray and Roast Beef for a while. They is SO cool.

Lyle - HOLY FUCK MAN HELL YES! YOU GUY fuck*ng ROCK! WHOO-HOO! FUCK YEAH! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
Lyle's running on pure adrenaline.

Pat- Jealous in the background. Possibly will give Roast Beef a talk.

Bear - Interested. Good job, chaps.

Mingus - Stoned. Not sure why he's here.

Lie Bot - Scheming.

Spongebath - I wonder how he's gonna leave.

Emeril - Emeril lets down his front for about two seconds to geek about his favorite band.

And finally folks.......After about 3 months.



FIN. (Which shoulda been the thread title)

Emeril would not have been my first choice as Guy Who Engages Beef In Conversation First, but the surprise of such is sublime.

And NIGHTLIFE.  To hell with Dr Peppers right now - cold glasses of Tuaca all around on this fine day!

If anyone could predict who would become the architect of the Fight's future, it's a cat with a mullet. Are you sure THAT isn't the toughest haircut possible? Well, are you?!?

Rodney will show up in a year or two, when we, and Ray, least expect it.

"A line of vanity soups."  I'd like one of those.

I'm pretty sure the rat tail is a close runner up for toughest haircut.  I mean, I don't mess with a dude with a rat tail in excess of three inches.  that's the kind of dude who's idea of a haircut is snipping the end off and putting it in a plastic bag.  you don't mess with that guy.

Hey, Mr. Bear is drinking a martini.  In honor of Ray perhaps?  So much for low blood pressure.


Last Thursday, the liquor store was all out of big bottles of E&J so I bought a bottle of Christian Brothers, which now contains not more than a little of brandy.  After work I will chug it and it will be hell of symbolic.  Perhaps smash the bottle.

I like this strip, I don't know what various of youall are complaining about.  It's just like real life.  You do some big thing, but then you have to come home to the everyday world and you're lucky if you get a lame handwritten sign with your name on it and a few people care that you are back, who remark upon your accomplishment but then are more interested in how the band was. Of course it's a letdown, how could it not be?

But I'm sorry we didn't get to see the pizza party with Beef's uncle.

Does anyone regularly find themselves in a pizza party situation anymore? I remember being under 12, and a pizza party was an event. Pizza is no longer a sufficient theme for a party. I guess it would be if you haven't been eating for three days.

Obviously there was some booze involved, on account of the spread from next door. Though less charming, I guess the booze would make it more likely that George would have ended up dispensing sort of depressing but sage advice, some of it about socks.

I dunno, I think the strip is summed up better by the messageboard title "How were the Tenmen" as if to say...

"Okay, yeah, they won the Great Outdoor Fight and all, but this is still Achewood. So how were the Tenmen?"

No comment on the particulars of this specific strip, other than I enjoyed every frame (including the 17 frames of Vlad saying "you talkin to me?", drawn from 17 different points of view, that exist in my imagination), but one general comment:

Thank you, Mr. Onstad.  That was one hell of a ride.

I might not be alone in thinking that you may want to light it on fire and throw it at a wheelied out jeep.
