I think the Variety Hour will pick up once Onstad finds his groove with it.

I mean, Ray's Place just keeps getting funnier and more of a single "voice" that he's developed with Ray.

I love the part about him denying that he's the father of Tiny's children.

Over time we will laugh at the contrast between the legitimate questions and Ray’s glib answers.


I'm wondering why you put this in future tense?

Because he's forseeing that eventually the questions will grow more serious and the answers more glib.

Hence, the future.

Thanks for sucking what little humor there was left in my belated and ill-phrased joke.  

For those of you just tuning in, the joke was that I *already* laugh at the contrast between the legitimate questions and Ray’s glib answers.

Yeah, we didn't really get that from your phrasing.

And by "we," I mean everyone on the board.

$MEOW$ is beautiful -- it's the distillation of Ray's self-awareness and self-opinion in one word.

Today's RP was very good anyway, but I especially enjoyed watching Ray ramble on about his personal issues. One moment, he's barely concealing his desire to brag about his stereo system, and the next he's freely telling stories about snails crawling in his mouth -- Ray's essential shamelessness manifesting on both ends of the spectrum. Glorious, hilarious stuff.

That, and the abortion story has ensured that I won't be able to listen to "Brick" for a while without picturing Ray in my head.

Just in case that was an explanation and not just a statement, I was just meaning a Ray style meow in catty terms referring to Jough's last post there...
Anyhow, I must get to sleep before dawn tonight!

Well, I thought it was such a good RP, that I sent it to my mom (who has enjoyed the odd strip that I've sent her). She ended up laughing so much while reading it that she's decided now she has to get into visiting Achewood more often and going through the archives.
Always nice to spread the 'wood!
(OK given who, I guess that was a mighty unfortunate phrase...)
