That will always by my favorite.

Also, while it's not a line I'll probably ever get a chance to use, I do love,"My car parts are on my car, by the way"

That strip also has the wonderful alt text: "Seven men pissing into empties, calling you human being. They cannot see you."

Probably at least a decade and change ago, I was back in my college town partying with a bunch of friends and on the ride back to go to sleep, almost totally blacked out, they asked me how I was and I said 'I'm dong-razzled' and the whole car burst into laughter, mostly at the quickly-produced absurd phrase. I owe Onstad for that one.

Rough chuckles seem to come up a lot more than they really ought to here.

goons are getting older, and on average we’re either entering middle age or we’ve been there for a while. It’s the chunk of your life where poo poo really starts to get real for many people— you start and lose careers, families, marriages, homes, etc.

Your older family members and acquaintances, and even some of your younger ones, die. Your health and the health of people you care about starts going to poo poo, often catastrophically so. A major financial setback means having your entire life fall apart. You know, the only game in town.

Yeah I think where this place has an intangible, irreplaceable benefit is that a huge chunk of us found it in our teens / early 20's and now there's very little replenishment so we're all just being friendly, old people on a glorified, defunct Facebook page.

You can't really find a platform of this quality left on the internet. Reddit is like a college town where everyone's age caps out a 21 and a bunch of kids are posting in /r/RelationshipAdvice.

I used to have an SA account ages -long abandoned- ago when I spent my time being an idiot and sparring with people in LF, now I just kinda coast through threads like a chill old man. Back in the old days I copped probes like plugging the meter.



Which is all to say, we chose not to move "forward" into false self actualization and instead moved laterally into the arms of Ashkirri, the Mother-Man.

Oh yeah, the one that establishes that not only does Cornelius have a serious problem with leaving his various musical instruments on the floor, but he's spreading it to the other house residents too. Connie, quit leaving your french horns and childhood drums all over the floor, it's really on you this keeps happening!

Honestly, that's probably my most used achewoodism. Sometime over COVID I went from being "in my 30s" to being "middle aged" and now I'm like, in the "old guard" in some situations so I'm regularly in a place where people talk to me about how they're no longer able to do things they used to when they were 23

I was just going for "baked" tbh.

Anyway, my go-to is "proceeded to poo poo the bed with the lights on" and I've used that a time or two at work.

I don't hang out with the right people to use this phrase IRL, but I was always taken by the phrase "packing hot lunches" to refer to making GBS threads in sandwich baggies when the gang was trapped in Ray's dumbwaiter

From that story, "I spent a lot of time thinking about the things that those men said" is a personal favorite turn of phrase.

Also "Speak not of water-clad nymphs".
