I had the urge to do that to my room - when I was 10.  Then my town got an Applebee's and I realized how silly it looks to actually have flags and stacks of stuff and posters all over your room.

I did, however, buy a Gordie Howe hockey sweater that I wear with chinos and loafers, Cameron Frye style.  Now Found Item Clothing is selling the matching caduceus t-shirt.  Now all I need is a Ferrari and a diaper to wipe it with.

Wow.

The Evaporation of Gumption moment is something I understand too too deeply.

I... I thought I was a Roast Beef all along but... could I possibly be a Teodor?

Oh man. Total realizing-you're-a-breast-man existensial crisis time.

[colmore]

I think I've grown from being a Teodor into being R. Beef...

what the hell does that say?

[wombat]

Both the baby update and the strip today make me feel completely out of it.  I guess I'll go sit in the rocker on the porch now. Hey, get off of my lawn!

T, you like goth chicks because they are hot. Not necessarily fun to be around or talk to, but hot.

[theinevitable]

i obviously have a faulty memory, because I feel like stacks of stuff and posters is basically a generic room. Or, at least, my room?

also, I love goth girls. and punk girls.
basically any girl who wears weird clothes in a idiosyncratic or boring "subcultural" way is attractive to me.
this causes problems for me, in my life.

Oh thanks a lot Onstad. Until today I had managed to not think about Kid Rock for almost five years.

I think a lot of us only wish that we were as desperately miserable as Roast Beef.

[littlefallsmets]

On extended thought, Axl Rose is probably my generation's Sinatra.

I am just slightly too old to be saddled with Kid Rock or... I dunno... Kurt Cobain, I guess?

And Axl Rose isn't the worst Frank Sinatra to have. At least he's completely batshit insane in an admirable Howard Hughes kinda way, occasionally crawling out of caves with Kleenex boxes on his feet to ALMOST release some music, show up at a few awards shows and then scurry back.

I like goth girls if they're pretty.  I don't like goth girls when they're trying to pack the mass of a small neutron star into a corset, see-through lace top and black PVC trousers, which sadly seems to be the norm around here.

Not that I hate fat people or anything.  I'm fat, too.  But at least I have the decency to wear baggy clothes so that others are not forced to view my rippling folds.

Nooooo, you really don't. Trust me on this one.

Apropos of nothing, I wants me a fat little goth chick for Xmas.

Well I was going to write something about that sort of thing not actually being desirable outside of appearing to have "cred" here at TOUAMB, but I didn't want to appear condescending.

Man, that is total flamebait. You really think that folks on this board pretend to have depression so they can be more like a cartoon cat?

[Lister]

I think that what we need more of is gumption.

[Toaster]

I'm 17, and I've been thinking today about who is my generation's Sinatra. I came to the conclusion of Justin Timberlake.

Also, I love Teodor's little right-before-waking-up happy face.

No, I don't really think that people here pretend to be genuinely and seriously depressed to appear cool. I just think that people identify themselves more closely with Beef during periods in their lives when they are either unusually sad or computer literate. Sometimes this manifests itself in the form of quoting or invoking to image of Roast Beef in relation to events in their lives that aren't really that depressing. Basically I think that R. Beef is used by people here at TOUAMB (and probably by Onstad) to help cope with sadness through humor, and maybe to remind them that there's always somebody having a crappier time.

I was just joking on the first post. In hindsight, I should have used better wording, or perhaps a well placed "NOT!". The second was just a poorly executed attempt to point out that I was joking.
