3 September 2008 - Electively throw up six pounds of tacos
« on: September 03, 2008, 06:57:50 pm »
Special 8-page Color Dark hoss comic

As with faux-mexican food, the more adjectives one puts in front of an Achewood comic, the less satisfying it will be.
Lots of words (salt) but not much comedy (quality beans) in this one, I am sad to say.  Although I did enjoy the matching track suits.   This... pleases me.

I apologize for the broken link, but the asinine word filter on this board changes H-O-R-S-E to HOSS, even inside urls.  That is some amateur shenanigans right there.

Im not saying it was worth all the build up, but that final frame brightened my day.
"I thought YOU were gonna benefit the nation, dogg! Turns out you're just gonna electively throw up six pounds of tacos in my Caddy. I thought tonight was gonna be different, T"

[P.S. "electively" is not an actual word. He made that word up.]

Did we all read the same comic?

The correct thread title, IMO.

Also: what happened to the stone-y eyes?  Were they actually smoking tobacco in the bong?

It's possible that their overindulgent feast of imitation Mexican cuisine caused their high to wear off. Then again, I've never smoked pot, but I know plenty of people who have....

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Color strips are a rarity in Achewood, so that alone was nice to see. I also loved the whole tracksuit/fondue preparations. Only a stoned Teodor and Beef would think they needed fondue materials on a road trip.

Finally, is "japans" really a word? I've tried finding it, but to no avail!

I enjoyed the thing the RSS feed told me was not a strip a little more than the comic itself. Not that I didn't enjoy the latter, you understand. I just saw new Achewood and wasn't prepared for the long-form version, which is (appropriately) different in character as well as in length.

Perhaps I will read it again when I'm more in the mood. But I'm not exactly going to make it a priority.

I will sum up my response using the Gauntlet of Emotion.

Well now that I've completely fucked up the 1st post, let me say I enjoyed this, despite viewing it requiring turning down 27 cookies from myspace and guessing which of the 3 flash objects contained the actual comic.

Did their "one of everything" order include items from the secret "breast man" menu?

"We could show the world that we all just havin' a fine old time here in America, thank you very much! This could be the trip to Taco Bell that saves the nation!".

Ray's plans always seem like the epitome of rationality when I'm stoned. Ah, the magical weed wavelength...

I try to make my blog have an "eternal quality", but I am lucid enough to realize that I am too young to make it happen. The gland in my brain that creates sentences has a few more years left to mature.

I'm pretty fond of the Patrón Añejo as my top shelf style tequila.  The Silver the boys seem to have taken is like tequila vodka - distilled within an inch of its life and bottled.  Might as well be vodka.

Dammit, the two best lines from this were "Hawks are amazing birds, but I don't 'believe' in them. That's where you run into problems", and "Who wants to go to high school…IN MY #####!", and neither of those were actually in the strip proper.

Yeah I read this right when I woke up (never a good time for me) and thought it was okay, pretty funny, nothing to post about or anything.  As much as I sometimes privately dislike you people(momentarily of course) for being all down on Onstad all the time, Achewood is, well, not at it's peak anymore.  (on the other hand, you all are fools for not digging the sandwich wars, that is amazing)  However, I went back a few hours ago and the Hawk line, which I didn't notice earlier, made me laugh out loud for at least 30 seconds.  Not bad at all.
