For a second there, I thought Little Nephew was going to the Mike Stonetower School.

But perhaps he will fuck up badly enough tomorrow for Uncle Ray to change his mind.





Fix'd link. -- Jough

ETA: Sorry. 

[jough]

Nice flip at the end, though.  The zen of Ray in action, folks.

So is self-trained-marine above or below backyard-wrestler on the Sad Scale?

Below, unless the self-trained Marine actually spends legitimate time in the military, I'd say.

I'm surprised by the amount of empathy used here by Ray. It's... like he's being thoughtful or something. Whoa!

[jough]

I HAVEN'T DONE THE ALL-CAPS THING IN A WHILE AND NOW I CANNOT STOP

[AugustWest]

Huh.  Onstad got the area code right.

[linnea]

Heh! I was at first mystified as to why Ray would turn the page. But maybe Ray's getting some nostalgic visions of him and Beef as kids, and realizing that even though he tried to play like he was a pimp in tortoiseshell Vuarnets that his chunkity ass would get sent to that school even quicker than Little Neph. Perhaps he had a moment of compassion.

Also, have we had a discussion about the genesis of Little Nephew? From whence did he come? Whose kid is he? Beef has the total crap-dude twin brother of Showbiz, but how did LN end up with Uncle Ray? Is there anything in the Achewood universe to substantiate how he came to live with Ray, or has the overall character development purposefully avoided his origins?

[AugustWest]

He lives with Ray for the same reason Huey, Dewey and Louie live with Donald.

[jough]

So he can molest him?

[theinevitable]

the ultimate title for this thread would have been "hey did anyone else get a picture of a naked asian dude with a wierd cock?"

also: Little Nephew is Ray's "Boy Ward."

[Omegatron]

Who is going to be the first to try that phone number?

[jough]

Me. I am.

[V-Adore]

I think this is where we get into Achewood Hypertime. There seems to be no indication that Little Nephew lived with Ray when we were first introduced to him, or even when he showed up in the Party arc; much like Pat's dickishness, it seems to have been retconned in (and yes, I feel like more of a chunkity-ass nerd for using that term). Another question: why has LN apparently grown up in a more or less real-time fashion (remember, back at the Party he seemed pretty young) while Philippe has been five for years and has a wildly fluctuating maturity level?

[Doc]

Well there's always the Phillipe is a 30 year old and mentally disabled possibility.

DONNY SAYS VACUUM!

But yeah.   Nephews living with rich uncles is a longstanding fictional tradition.  Think of him as the Fresh Prince of Achewood Estates if it makes you feel more comfortable.*  It's simply a linear progression from the dead wife syndrome that terrorized 1950's sitcom families.  If this were the 80s he would be an adopted orphan.

*I'm now imagining what the sitcom centered on LN's life would be like.  Probably all airing on UPN and starring someone with a recording contract.  You'd meet his crazy classmates from school and he'd play pranks on Mr. Bear and go to Lyle for life advice.
