I love that there's real cooking and real "life in the kitchen" advice in addition to Lyle being Lyle.

Also, "gangster rap about burning down zoos and hitting women with golf clubs".

I recently reread most (not all; started partway through from a link) of Achewood, and I wanted to comment on these strips because yeah, they are amazing now. Ray's pseudo-admiration for Donald Trump is also "interesting" in light of current events.

Donald Trump also featured prominently in "The Sandwich Duel" in The New Yorker. The whole thing is worth a read, but the trump parts are still good.

God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

It's not one of the more intellectual or verbose strips, but I think this is my favourite. It's just such a soft-spoken and bemusing way of portraying something vaguely depressing.

If you think that's "vaguely depressing" you've clearly never tried it yourself.

This strip is a top 5 for me. "This ain't a party of crap dudes" is a common phrase in my vernacular, Ray's "You are terrible!" panel, "talk about rare!", "somebody's gotta pay for this shirt i had made", god there's so much loving amazing here.

For some reason I thought KISS was the artist Beef would go to the bathroom on but that was Lyle Lovett. KISS is the artist Tood has a tattoo of going to the grocery store and comparing their you-know-whats to the yams.

OK, I had never read Pat's blog before but I so wish I had done it earlier!

I love Pat's blog when he gets all enthusiastic about some terrible new business idea and then as he progresses he gets increasingly frustrated with how it just isn't working because PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID :argh:

Oh yes, the live food bar (where he had to hire multiple contractors to do the work because they kept getting fed up with him) is a great read.

I think every single Pat blog contains at least one absolutely perfect sentence.

I guess it's for the best, as the History Channel is showing a special on Henry Ford and I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen doing a bunch of dishes when the messageboards light up.
