That right there's a can, son! I don't see a credit for that photo on Achewood...

[Drastic Action]

I will bet that the entire strip wrote itself after seeing that image though.  Definitely a questionable tostada.  I am not a tostada expert, but that thing, especially in full color, is kind of disconcerting me.  Salad, perhaps.  But a tostada?

I'd really like to get married and possibly have some biological or adopted offspring in the next 5-10 years, but I won't permit myself to buy Alaska Bride

I am somehow totally creeped out that there is an Alaska Bride magazine.  I had to check the website to make sure it didn't help you get mail-order spouses.  Maybe I exaggerate the isolation of the place in my mind, I admit.

Of course I am creeped out by the bridal-industrial complex anyway. So much assistance to help you spend so much unnecessary money.  As if that were the hard part of marriage.

We actually bought a couple of the magazines for some handy charts of local reception locations and their rates. Of course we probably could've found this information for free online.

See, I was also taken aback by the idea of Alaska Bride.  I was imagining a really butch women in plaid, wearing a veil and like... gutting a giraffe on a tree stump.  I would subscribe to that magazine.  

Niche markets are so interesting.  Like "Just for Men" beard dye.  They advertise the hell out of that stuff, and I always wonder who they're trying to reach.  I mean, if you're embarrassed about the colour of our facial hair, why not shave it off?  So odd.

To paraphrase Red Green: because it's a beard, not a cocoon. Whatever unpleasantness you grew the beard to cover is still under there, still unpleasant and probably a lot more pale.

I think it's funny that onstad got a little dig in about intarwub forums.

Ray not only subscribes to Tostada Monthly, he cruises the associated internet forum. And what does it mean that Morgan Freeman's niece is a PA? Physician's Assistant? What does that have to do with tostadas?

Wait, maybe she's a Publisher's Assistant for Tostada Monthly?

[Sub_Topical]

Prolly production assistant. It's an entry level serf type thing, regardless of the nomenclature.

smells! You reminded me!

Paul, let's say that i wanted to Wax this Shit up. Like maybe one day I wanted to look like Mr. Dali. What is a brand? Where do I buy it? I found all kinds of "Men's" hair-shaping products, but... I don't know.

I also found a product called Texture Dirt which really confused me.

There was also a little box of Bald-Head Wipes, Just for Men. Those were scary.

I think the idea behind this stuff is essentially the same as conditioner - you wash all the stinky oils and waxes out of your hair with shampoo, then rub on less offensive ones so your hair doesn't drift around in static-induced frizziness.

As I said in my Hair-Washing thread, I'm a huuuuuge fan of Aveda hair wax called "Self Control." I use this stuff in tiny amounts to smooth down the frizz on my crazy Sicilian hair, which is curly and unruly. It needs something to weigh it down a little bit, or else it goes all over the place.

There's also a hair product called "Dirt" by Jonathan. I haven't tried it yet, though.

I guess that some hipsters want to wash their hair every day, but they want it to look like they haven't washed it?

Inev: here's some throughly proper advice on mustache wax, including how to make your own!

[jay-ell]

Oooh, inev.  You'd better watch out on that mustache wax or you might find yourself return-crushed! 

By a married lady!

True story:  I went out seeking a Tostada yesterday, and ended up with a taco salad instead.  It was indeed bullshit.  And also it was $7.  What the hell?

[theinevitable]

whoa, um...
