You know, when you put it that way, I don't think I believe in us either.

We're Imaginary People on the Intarwub. Can.

[wombat]

Imaginary friends are the best kind.

[Doc]

We're all just a bunch of archetypes.
Kind of.

Yeah, don't feed the troll, people.

Also, Inev, your summary of various board peeps was interesting.  All ya'll are quite a mixed lot.

[theinevitable]

oh, also, I tell people about the Marlboro man "I wish I could quit you!" shirt on Wordfront. They always stop listening when I tell them that my internet friend came up with it.

You're going to have to explain that it is a strip specifically created in overseas factories for the sole purpose of entertaining sick fucks and hot nerd-girls. Hopefully, this will trap the offending lady into saying something like: "But I'm a hot nerd-girl and I don't like it!"

And then you can stare at her for a second, causing her to realize that you are either pointing out that she is not hot or is not a nerd, whichever of those things would offend her most.

If she is hot but not a nerd, she will be offended that you are calling her less than hot. If she is a nerd, she will be offended that you are calling her not a nerd. If she is neither, she will think you're claiming she has a c*ck but... when she flashes you her pu$$y, it really won't be that awesome because she's clearly not a hot nerd-girl.

I wonder if this is also applicable to sick fucks.

It goes double.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like how the GOF panned out.  It was Ray tearing off that guy's face¹ that killed it for me. 

[1] EDIT: One year ago, to the day.  I didn't even realize.

That was the moment that made me fall completely in love with the fight, and probably for the same reason it ruined it for you.  It's excessively epic, and it's not how achewood normally works.  If I saw that scene in a different web comic I would probably think it was cheesy.  But you know... earlier this evening I was telling a friend about the freezepop song about phillipe, and how happy it makes me.  Normally if someone sent me a ridiculously upbeat song about a cute cartoon otter I'd probably think it was lame, and I definitely wouldn't listen to it seven times in a row while deliriously proclaiming its awesomeness.  But when cheesiness is built on a four year legacy of subtle bitterness and eerie surrealism, it becomes insanely good, in my opinion. 

Not to say you're not justified in disliking it, of course.  But for me the fact that I've seen ray stoned, sitting under a table and assertively measuring angles with his forearm made it that much sweeter when I saw that panel, gasped, and whispered, "He really is the son of Rodney." Happy mandible-tearing-versary, for better or for worse.

Actually, I didn't even think it was that bad as a story arc.  I just wouldn't rate it as highly as everyone else seems wont to do.  That particular strip was pretty jarring, but ultimately it killed all the suspense that had been building in my mind.  It did get better at the end, though, what with Rodney and the Jeeps and such.

Reading this thread makes me realize that I'm maybe the least interesting person on this board. Also, as a non-hot nerd girl, I should stop liking Achewood now? My liking it is insulting?

I really need to solve this "depression" thing. It's leading me to Beeflike places.

Stay away from roller skates V!

[theinevitable]

no, I would have been sad if she liked achewood because she was kind of a bitch. and hell of annoying. I am glad you like Achewood, V.

[RMJ12345]

I loved the GOF, personally. I was kind of put off by Achewood - sometimes thought it was funny, sometimes didn't get the humor - before I began reading the GOF arc, but the GOF really got me into it and sent me into a three day spiral of reading the archives instead of doing my homework.

Now I plan to do part of my thesis on it. Thanks, GOF!

[coldfrog]

The GOF is my last ditch effort at getting one of my friends to like Achewood.  Hopefully he falls for it and starts following it more.  He struggled so much with the beginning, though, I kept telling him he'd like it more once Ray and Beef showed up, but he never made it that far.

Curiously, how did other people start getting into this?  What was the moment you knew Achewood was the one for you?  I read from the beginning and when I read the story arc about roast beef going to the moon I was done.

I don't know. I recall no life before Achewood.
