@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Limestone Quarry (11-10-03)

C'mon, C'mon, enough suspense already.  Let's get some resolution here, Onstad!

Also, is anybody surprised that a)  Beef drives around playing Tetris in his head; b) he gives himself impossible pieces to play?

Strip.

Hello all - my first post in this fine forum - I hope we enjoy many hours together.

The suspense is too much .  Maybe the Bumblebee suit will deflect any attempts on Phillipe's health.  We can only hope.

And I could do that Tetris block... :o

The nightmare Tetris block is so Beef. Only Beef would, in his darkest nightmares, give himself an impossible Tetris block. It's indicative of his stress, I guess.

I also like Arthur's obviously-ignorant running commentary on Pat's cel conversation. You can just see him in the second panel being prepared to talk Pat into his happy place.

'Talking Pat off the beach' has just become this weeks seven-kinky for me!
I'd love to keep it as a new, long term euphamism, but I thnk explaining it would get tiresome!

And indeed, Beef's impossible Tetris block is beautiful. I'm amazed that his fear and stress can break, in his own mind, the fundamental rules of Tetris!

Will we actually get a resolution this week! I'm scared of how long I might have to be scared.
But then he can't go off to some other plot line, since all the characters are involved. I figure tomorrow they'll get to the quarry...

Is Arthur going to stick around? He cracks me up.

The impossible tetris piece - it's a big piece and there is a small place to put it - he seems to have this theme about that...issue....

Poor Beef. Poor, poor Beef.

Was anyone else surprised by Ray's amazing deductive reasoning?  I mean, we know he's no damn genius.

Maybe it's just me.

He could be utterly totally wrong: the shack on Friday didn't look like it was in a quarry (although when I think quarry I think "Dr Who" so maybe my experience of what a quarry looks like is limited).

Can God make a Tetris piece that is so complicated that even he can't place it?

Yes. Or, if he can't, Beef will make one for him.

That tetris piece gave me stress - I'm worried about the speed it may be falling at!

I know... this really adds a whole new dimension to my alarmingly frequent Tetris Dreams.

You have Tetris dreams and played Lucasarts games?
Goddamnit marry me!!!

*ahem*

And naturally, the Tetris piece ought to be falling at a constant rate, and it's only about a third up the sreen, so he had a relatively long time to choose.
But, with a piece like that!!
