um so,
what exactly do black beans have to do with anything?

Dude... it's like sass in the main... If you need an actual logical answer, maybe the beans are black because it is a dire situation.  BLACK BEANS DOGG!

What exactly do pickles on parade have to do with anything?  It just sounds like trouble.

The use of "Mega" as a catch-all prefix reminded me a lot of Captain N and The Gamemaster, where they had Megaman use "Mega" as a catch-all prefix for... no particular reason, just to give him a catchphrase to build the merchandising/vocal performance around. This is not really important in anyway but it is at least a thing.

Clearly, he is referring to the infamous Black Bean Episode (http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/BB/qmb1.html), in which 176 fighters for Texan independence who had escaped a Mexican prison camp and been recaptured were sentenced to decimation by lottery.  They were ordered to draw out of a canvas bag filled with 176 beans, 17 of which were black.  The men who drew the black beans were executed by firing squad.  Those are some black beans.

I am a texan and a schoolteacher.  I am sorry about this.

  Lyle, you truly are king of kings.

Wouldn't it be nice to see the King in a panel? I hope that is where this is leading.

To be honest, that is my secret hope for EVERY Achewood strip.

I know this is like a week old at this point, but I just had this sudden realization that Teodor, when his weight is miscalibrated, is basically the same as this old roomate I had, when he was stoned. He used to walk around saying things in almost the exact same tone, complete with liberal self-identification as a "genius!". Once, he got high, and thought I wasn't in the apartment anymore, and I hear him in the living room say "I am alone... ...I am the king!"

Sorry, I was just compelled to share this random memory here.
