This has been the first strip in a while that really clicked for me.

Trashspotting will save the day. It's crazy to me to think that he did the whole T/S backstory just to make it more believeable when he worked it in like this.

Yes, probably.  I did a wiki search and it mentioned that Ralph Rene was featured on the show and that the book was self-published.

All covered with cat hair, all stained with greasy food residue, all smelling faintly of mothballs.

There's also the fact that the alt text points out to us: not only does Emeril know the freaky collector types, but he knows their names and references them casually, as if they were mutual acquaintances. Absolutely rad.

"He is headed for Transfer Station 3081 and he had better not get there" is a great line in terms of subdued dread, too.

I read the strip when I still have the sleepiness in my eyes.   Em is really hard to follow.  I had to read a couple of his statements twice.

Also, In re: Lovely Rita

That song serves to make me want to listen to Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand.

The evolution of Achewood Argot continues, with "in the main" becoming the driving phrase for establishing the primary storyline of the strip, etc.

Echo "trashspotting saves the day".

I like how 'stad is working Emeril in. It's like he was a guest star for a few seasons and has finally signed on with the rest of the ensemble cast, a la Lucy Lawless and Battlestar Galactica (commence television ridicule).

I like this storyline more, now. It was okay at first, but the involvement of the Trashspotting sluething abilities and the car from Peel Out Summer is most pleasant. It's as though they only need to drive when Phillippe is in trouble.

BAM!

Emeril kicks it up a notch!

I still think the character is useless and has no personality, but hey, whatever.  Lots of goodness in this strip as mentioned above. 

A+++++++ Good Communication.  Would read again.

Howdy. I was somewhat inspired by Roast Beef's choice of crotch melody, er, ringtone. (Also by hearing the MIDI versions of Teodor's fingerstyle guitar.) So I made my own version (in Nokia AMR format) so I can be cool like Roast Beef.

It's here: http://www.stashbox.org/uploads/1145297341/institutionalized.amr (about 16k)

It works on my Treo and ought to work on most phones. Enjoy!

I love this. I want it on my phone. Any idea how to put it on a shitty little LG? I have never even attempted to obtain a ring that didn't come with my phone. But I need this.

Part of me wants to agree that it's rad that Emeril knows all this stuff, but it's a tad strained that he figured it all out so quickly. I guess that's his Trashspotting Sense at work, but still.

Curious: How does he know Zell and Cory? (Zell is totally the tall creepy one. I bet.)
Is Emeril's familiarity with the Transfer Station related to his fascination with trash in general?

Why hasn't this turned into a thread where people talk about what songs they have for ringtones?
