20060717: Druid people at Easter Island

This arc is only a rough chuckle because I've had a death in the family paralleling Mr. Fontanette's demise.

It certainly adds another few items to the Achewood slang list, if nothing else.

And why is Ray holding his phone out in front of him like a walkie-talkie? Or wearing a T-shirt, for that matter?

I am desperately fond of the idea that the most "stone" anything could be is "Druids on Easter Island." Otherwise... yeah. These chuckles? They're rough.

I think it's a list (collar, spikes) of proper golf wear.

hm, so, this new Beef facial expression really bothers me.

and it bothers me equally that I noticed it. Have we seen this before? the one in panel 3? it looks too... I don't know. not Achewood.

You mean the little :-\ that he does? I'd rather see that than no mouth at all (third-to-last panel) ... that's just kinda strange.

dude, yes! that's why it looked wierd!

I like neither of these.

I am in a wierd critical mood lately. today was the first time that a specific thing in a movie annoyed me so much that I couldn't enjoy the rest of it. Why do people use voiceovers? WTF, Shopgirl?

This strip was rough chuckles but it always kind of throws me when they make overt references to the fact that these are talking cats.
Maybe it's just that I don't like to see Onstad go down the 'haha they think they are people' road, as the movie Cars proved things that people would do do not become funny just because non-humans are doing them.
And I think the spikes referred to the collar but I'm willing to be wrong because the shoes would be a much classier move.

Also I didn't get what fairway referred to at first, I thought it was some kind of highway or something and that got me thinking about what kind of game he'd be playing I was all 'Wait, was he a dog? Are they referring to chasing cars now? I thought dogs were all idiots in the achewood universe?'

Pretty sure he just means collared shirt and cleats.

Scared Heart Syndrome is when the heart breaks off to try to escape the attack; Sacred Heart Syndrome, on the other hand, is a heart attack induced by the unbearable weight of guilt upon your very soul.

I am pretty sure that the sentence "Wear a collar, spikes OK" can be interpreted like one of those lazy newspaper sentences in which journalists use commas to replace the word "and."  I believe it also implies that it is not such a sombre service that a relaxing game of golf afterward is not permitted.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

I think it means that they are having the service on a golf course and that you should be properly attired as such.

However, golf afterwards will be de rigueur.

I mean, this is Ray and friends we're talking about.

Because Ray is, if nothing else, an ass. I frickin' hate people who do this. Yes, your phone has a speaker function, good for you. That doesn't mean that you're required to hold it 2 feet from your head so we can all hear you yelling into it and the tinny voice coming out.

I'm also going to assume that by collar Ray means a polo/golf shirt, not a real collared shirt.
