@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

29 November 2006 - A child's pink Converse on the pavement...
« on: November 29, 2006, 02:16:07 am »
A family's life is changed forever. And Ray seems to be working some rough chuckles and/or threats these days.

Pat's expression in the last panel: a child about to be run over? A mailbox? Cliffhanger or am I just nuts? THESE ARE NOT THINGS MEANT FOR MORTAL MINDS TO KNOW.

Wow.  A strip where Pat is the more sympathetic character.  That's gotta be a first.

Is the Escalade on the wrong side of the road in panel 4?

I think he was taking an exit.

My question is how can Ray think dumb is a good thing?

Ray likes to get laid

Also, "The police walk up the mother's driveway!  I'm serious!" is the funniest line I've seen in Achewood in a good while.

also, some guys are attracted to girls like that. I don't know why. I mean, I'm not saying that I know guys that go for that, but, you know. I do.

it's some kind of dominance thing, maybe.

With Ray talking like that, there's got to be some pavement carnage coming up.

Ray isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, so that's probably why he likes dumb women. A girl that I roomed with in college was so fuck*ng stupid that I'm amazed she could get herself dressed in the morning, but she was very beautiful and so that's how I suspect she passed all her classes. There are two kinds of men who like dumb women: A.) Men who are also stupid and don't like to be challenged or threatened by a woman; and B.) Men who have a dominance thing and like to have someone who doesn't challenge them intellectually.

I have a friend who bought a pair of pink converse a couple years ago. He's a really hip guy, well-versed in all things indie -- I'm sure you know the type. He made a pretty big to-do about how cool they were when he brought them home from the store. Flash forward a few years, and I've yet to see him wear them even one single time. It's pretty easy for a dude in his early 20s to talk about wearing pink converse, but pulling it off is another story entirely.

see, this is the conundrum.

I would wear the pink converses. And everyone I know would think I was a complete idiot.

I'll stick with my big ol' leather hiking boots. I fuck*ng love these things. I kind of wish late 80's/early 90's indie-type fashion would come back... I'd be so hip. ugly t-shirts, sweaters, old jeans, hiking boots. mmm.

also, the pea-coat which Q and others suggested is working out nicely. once it gets cold (ie: thursday.) I will basically look like I am wearing the same clothes every day, once I venture outside (peacoat, some kind of jeans, boots, scarf, grey knit hat. presumably something is underneath the coat, but you can't see it.)

I really want to know what Pat sees, though.

1)  "I pour one out for the stick of butter that gave its life to be that eggnog."  So awesome. 

2)  "but that was like 'stick two wires in her and she can power a clock' dumb."  Also so awesome.  Does anyone know whether it's actually possible to make a potato battery out of a human, or is an genuine potato necessary?  I want to know.

I propose there's only one way to find out. Do it for science.

Things I have tried to work potato clocks on while younger:

Things that work:
A pool of coke
Potatoes, bananas, etc.

Things that don't:
Pillows
Cheese
Uncooked chicken
A lake

In answer to your actual question: I don't see why it wouldn't work on humans, I swear I got a reading before the cat scarpered.

Apparently what is necessary is that the object be acidic. So aim those electrodes for the stomach.

A can to Judy for Junior Science.
