There is probably a lamp for everything.

This strip is excellent, by the way.

Edited to add: I just noticed on the second read-through that Beef says "becoming on the inside of a dessert restaurant." Genius.

Most of the people in my office need that "admit you're wrong" lamp. I, naturally, would have no use for it.

Scene from History:
Me: Dude, why were you yelling on the phone? I could hear her crying from here.
Main Dogg: I told her the truth that I really only want to see her when I know shes going to not bitch at me.
Me: Ladies like to think you want to see them all the time, not just at the right times.
Main Dogg: Fuck that. Its always a good day if I can make my girlfriend cry.

Guy at my watering hole: "Acap, why do you keep coming to Jack's?They just serve shitty burgers and happen to have beers on tap."
Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

I just love how Beef is just rambling anxiously about dessert restaraunts and you see how very anxious he is. Great depiction on Onstad's part.

Nah. He's just in an odd position - like Ray, he's a dude who's incapable of being part of a steady relationship, and has therefore positioned himself as an unasked-for advisor to a dude who is part of a steady relationship so he can live vicariously through Beef. He's just frustrated at what he's got to work with, is all.

Actually, upon reflection, that is fairly prickish.
