Christ, forget shanking, I'll rip yer fuck*ng ankles off!

I will walk away now. This thread has been raped for long enough.

So mom-talk aside, did it take anybody else several panels to realize that Beef meant "dog shit" literally and not just as an exclamation? I thought he'd pulled/torn a muscle. After all they went running after Philippe without stretching first.

Three Thousand.

Yeah, definitely no longer post before my morning coffee.

Yeah, I definitely thought this for a while.



I totally missed the mom-insults part of this thread.  What a shame.  This is what I get for sleeping in.  Why did I get mentioned, though?

TI was attempting to goad me, I wouldn't worry about it, because, as usual: I win.

I'm kind of intrigued at the "junkie darts" idea.  Do they throw Teodore at the dart board, or do they throw darts at him?  Only time will tell.

No, because 'SKLURCH!' is clearly not the sound of twisting your ankle.

If you twisted it hard enough, it would go SKLURCH.

I find it odd that I consider Roast Beef's mishap as the 'side bit' of today's comic and Phillipe's choosing as the 'main bit', despite having many less panels. Not many comics can do this.

They throw their heroin needles at him. JUNKIES. Get it? It's klind of a sly joke.

I can only wonder if Onstad had this strip in mind when he originally ran the Ray dogshit strip.  If so, I am impressed by his tenacity in saving the Beef strip for so long.  I suppose I'll never know.

Today's strip puts that one under a totally different light. Was Ray taking snapshots of his foot sunk in dogshit just to freak Beef out? And all the while he kept talking about "old times" Beef was going god ohhh god ohhhhh this... juuust... ruuuuuude on the other end? We'll never know...

Anyway, I still can't figure out how one can get stuck in a fridge, to be honest. I too grew up under this parental anathema (especially since my uncles owned a grocery store and I enjoyed playing in the parking lot behind it where there was always an old fridge or two lying around). But even then I thought "come on, if you don't need that much strength to open a fridge from the outside, how hard can it be to do it from the inside, where you could even use your legs to kick it open?". But still, I never dared to put my theory to test.
Unless the whole lore comes from the days of those really old fridges with that lever-thing kind of handle that actually seemed to make things more complicated.

I think that's it exactly.  Which is why you don't see fridges with door latches anymore, despite the fact that they are probably more efficient at keeping the cold air in.

For a second, I thought Beef had somehow soiled hiimself, then I realized he had stepped in dog poo.

Is the rest of the storyline going to have Phillipe trying naively to decide between bad options?

"Maybe I can use that old box full of rusty nails to climb up to the next level of trash! Or that rusty drum leaking the glowing blue liquid!"

[theinevitable]

oh man. Judy, I am sorry. I was making a joke about your mom giving birth. Because that is a thing that occurs during birth.
I saw it in a movie. I thought you would get it. sorry.

Hobot: you were mentioned because I was being rediculous. also, because you are my Oedipal Mother.


Jough! Jough! I was reading old posts and I saw this!

Personally, I don't think the end will come until we see a sticker depicting Calvin peeing on Hobbes.

goodness me!

[Mite]

I totally can't even keep track of all the trash-talkin' in this thread. Good show, boys, good show.
