Onstad mentioned the tire-brand thing on Twitter, too. This must really be bugging him for some reason.

[Dangermoose]

He has moved to the Pacific Northwest.  We are concerned about our tires here, and it must be giving him culture friction.

onstrad might start to sound snobby before long.....

I imagine "Onstrad" as being sort of to Onstad as Homsar is to the Homestar Runner.

I don't own a car, but if I did I would totally know what kind of tires I own. But that's only because I have OCD and I have to know everything about everything ever. Thinking about what I do not know makes me literally have panic attacks. All staying up at night reading books about anatomy and scarfing down Froot Loops and saltine crackers straight out of the box. Then I take an Ativan and pass out in a pile of pillows, wake up and waste an entire day reading about cetacean evolution. Because my mind is broken.

Toaster I'm going to give you a can of Dr Pepper because your mind is broken.

[jaydub]

As am I, because we're broken in the same way.  Don't worry - I've had it for going on 20 years and for the most part am a thriving member of society.  Although I still find myself deeply researching Expressionist painters or offensive line blocking schemes at random times.  The Internet does not help with this.

[greenkoolayd]

i suppose its more important to know what size and what condition your tires are in, than what brand they are....

[Ben-San]

Is it just me or is Cornelius writing this by phrasing it as he suspects Ray would and then applying too many fonts?

[dejavroom]

pmcd9, I'm gonna give you a can of Dr Pepper because you gave Toaster a can of Dr Pepper because his mind is broken.

I can't wrap my mind around the concept of a day spent reading about cetacean evolution being "wasted".

And that's why you get this can.

[greenkoolayd]

I love that concept. Dude all being bugged by people actually knowing something irrelevant to him up to this point.

its hard to tell if hes making fun of blue-collar dudes, or making fun of the idea of making of blue collar dudes.  i dont know enough about him personally to say, "oh well, he had it comfy enough that he probably wasnt taught to handle as much of your own biz as possible, to save money AND feel pride."  who knows these things...

It is, however, most certainly annoying as fuck. I would not read that book even if it had some coolly phrased things like Protein Jeans.

Really? I was sold at protein jeans.

Dude's lived a pretty full life, been to prison and all. He wouldn't turn a blue collar dude away from the Dude and Catastrophe and I don't imagine he looks down on a guy for working with his hands.
