and in the end the love you like is equal to the love you bike

nice beatles reference  (that's from a beatles song, but he got it wrong of course..... noob)

next time you want to have people answer a question, try treating them with respect and make a little sense!

i mean, i'm not telling you to leave, but we’re a pretty tight group here. that doesn’t happen overnight. people have to learn that they can count on you. know what I mean?

I forget how I got to Achewood (I'm assuming alcohol was involved — it generally is). My first strip was Roast Beef on the moon, which made me wonder if I'd stumbled across some sort of quasi-furry domestic drama serial. I would read the entire archives of any old damn thing back in those days however, and I figured out pretty quickly that drama is just Beef's normal way of doing things.

It is strange that my brain tells me I have been reading Achewood for at least three years longer than I actually have. I've got memories of reading the strip when the strip did not exist. My brain is a strange place to be sometimes.

I love that this thread has turned from a cauldron of bile into something that cultivates wonderful nostalgia

[smick]

I was linked from Cardhouse.com during the first Showbiz run.   The specific strip had ray sticking bills under his eyelids while enticing ladies to visit him in varied stages of undress.

Roast Beef was not having this.

I feel like this conversation is going on in two separate threads?

Even more brilliant reading the troll's death throes interspersed with the thread proper.  We've got to keep this going.  I propose the thread be stickied.

Don't worry about that, we're merely approaching the event horizon of a Bullshit Crescendo.

When enough momentum builds from enough awesome people collectively riffing on the same topic, the conversation begins to mutate wildly and start crosslinking with other ideas and the entire entity becomes almost An Alive Thing...

Linear logic is discarded, intuitive leaps are made with ease and Cause-and-Effect... is not exactly violated, persay, though Cause-and-Effect begins to function exotically and functionally fourth-dimensionally.

It is sort of a cross between a hive mind and a rolling snowball.

A better analogy: you know how when, in Back to the Future, just before the car does an actual time jump, all sorts of sparks and explosions start wildly popping around the edges and it looks really cool?

That is where we are. We're at the edge of a Bullshit Crescendo and it is just achingly beautiful. We can witness Imaginary Idea Pairs dancing at the edge, mostly hell of annihilating each other but occasionally one breaking away into free space and becoming Real.

Ideation Aurora Borealis full-on charging ions and creating eerie fireworks in the sky.

Critical Bullshit Mass has been achieved, party person.

Awesome things are now functioning of their own accord.

The firebird Inspirado is rising from her ashes, resurrected by the electricity created by the cycling through of Crazy Ideas Spoken Anyway.

Do not fear The Bullshit Crescendo. She destroys only because that's what happens before creation.

Let her six blue arms take you into their embrace.

Nuzzle up to the bosom of cleansing madness. It is the rudest bosom of all.

[Bjorn the Destroyer]

I find it altogether fitting that we reach this magical place in discussing the Tenmen: the rudest cats of them all.

[linnea]

heh, an event horizon of bullshit crescendo?

[Muse_Of_Fire]

Mets, I'm pretty sure I love you.

I take back that thing I said recently about them not making n00bs like they used to.

[Ernest Faulkner Hemingway]

We can all be funny.  We can post and try to be funyn people by posting things that nobody may have expected us to post.  THat is what makes them funny though, and also clever, is that no one was expecting them.

Do you have an algorithm for being a failure at making me recognizable.

Interestingly enough I once found myself on the opposite end of the spectrum, though at once I was alerted and promptly aged to perfection.  Mild adult situations cannibal cannoball cannibus canteloupe.

To be honest if you read through Achewood before realizing there was alt text, you're a fuck*ng moron.  You probably like keenspot.

ANYWAY...

How I first visited Achewood.... I got really into QC one night last October (read the whole archives instead of studying for a test, much as I am doing this very instant with the baby update thread on this board) and started looking on Wikipedia for other popular webcomics to procrastinate with. I came across Achewood and really didn't get it, but I felt like I might if I kept at it. Then (as I said earlier) I read the GOF in January, read the archives, and fell in love.
