I always thought that "going to Sweden" meant "getting a sex change".

I also always thought that "going to Thailand" meant "going to have sex with ladyboy prostitutes".

But that story is very very sad, yeah.

Clarification: He was born in the US but his parents were both children of Swedish immigrants, he spoke fluent Swedish, and he was still closely enough tied to the Motherland to be able to locate relatives to stay with.  Basically he needed to get out of the country for a while, and had spent two summers in Sweden prior to the accident, so it was a natural choice for him to go back there.  He would get this faraway look in his eyes when he talked about living there, he made it sound like the most beautiful, placid, wonderful place in the entire universe, heaven not excluded.

For my nineteenth birthday, my parents were out of town and Kelli and I threw a kegger at my folks' house. It was great. I had a local bakery make a really cute Piglet cake and we partied down. It was wonderful. I think I lobbied for and successfully got Guinness in the keg. It was expensive, but damn worth it.

The only embarrassing part of the evening was when my friend Beth, who is blind, was telling a joke and my friend Nicholas laughed REALLY LOUDLY at the wrong part of the joke due to his uncomfortableness about her blindness. It was weird, but a lot of sighted people have never spent time around people who are blind, and they don't really know how to deal.

JDunstan:

Pardon me, but I think the guy who promised to call but didn't because of being in a car accident and having to learn to walk again, etc. was one giant bullshit story on the dude's part.

Entertaining though.

The Pope.

Uh, no.  He was damaged.  I was there, I saw it.  I can tell bullshit when I see it, believe me. 

Way to be an asshole on your first post.  To an admin, no less.  Nice job. 

And it's dunstOn, with an O.  Reading: It's Fundamental.

Yeah, his story sounded like bullshit to me too, JL, but then I remembered that you're not functionally retarded and would probably know the difference better than I would.

The Pope is okay, though.  He was trying to help.  I can tell.

Also, Sweden is incredible.  You'd go there too if you only knew...

JL:

Didn't mean to insult, but ya' gotta admit it does sound like what Mark Twain would call a stretcher. Of course I don't know any of the facts so I will accept that it was true.  Sorry to have offended.  It is difficult some times to be a bit snarky without having something come off as being asshole-ish.  I just came across this site the other day and I don't have a feel for it yet  I had assumed that since we are all fans of Ray and Pat and Todd that the tone might accept a bit of good natured kidding.  Clearly I was wrong and my lame attempt was off base..  I will err on the side of niceness though from now on.

Regards,

The pope.  (little p)

Pope --

Thanks for the apology, we are actually pretty much assholes around here but it's like a big bunch of siblings -- it's a little different coming from an outsider.  Good to know you are not actually a crap dude. 

Also, you can't be Little P because that's what I call my kid.  But you can be the Pope, we don't have one of those around here yet. 

Sincerely,
 -- You can cal me Jayell

Thanks.  Glad to defuse a potential flame war, that I didn't intend and being a new guy and missing that you are an admin I wouldn't win at all. <grin?>.

Back to original strip -- I always like FYFridays, and this one was terrific.  I don't mind Phillepe's Friday newsletters, they're much better than a normal Phillepe strip.

The Pope.

Well there wouldn't have been a flame war because JL would have banned the shit out of you, but fwiw, I took your first post as trying to be helpful and not assholish at all.

Welcome to the board little pope.

Wow, it's like freshmen at college getting scoped out to pledge a frat. "Join the Philippe haters, we have awesome keggers!" "The Molly Appreciation Society was voted Hottest TOUAMB group by the Ladies of the Board three years in a row."
