I'm sorry, Neiman Marcus, but a Cobalt Valkyrie-X private plane in rose gold still doesn't compare to Airwolf.

Edit: may I also remind everyone that "I have Airwolf. This is not code language. I am flying Airwolf because I own Airwolf. Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what I own and what I am doing at this moment" is so good, guys.

I was literally typing up the same thing.

"I have Airwolf. This is not code language. I am flying Airwolf because I own Airwolf. Nothing else I could say would make more sense given what I own and what I am doing at this moment." is just like, peak achewood.

Onstad's relationship with Trump has been a rich comedic vein for at least a decade now. It doesn't really put things in order, but any grieving parties could certainly do worse than reading Onstad's epic sandwich duel in the New Yorker. A duel in which a certain president elect happened to feature in.

http://www.newyorker.com/cartoons/cartoon-lounge/the-duel-part-9

quote:

A few days prior to the booking, I had my phone ringer set to go off like usual, but then out of the blue I got the little “voice mail” ping, meaning someone had somehow bypassed the system. When I checked the message, I heard a very high-quality recording, obviously done in a sound booth:

“This is Donald Trump. Thanks for having me in for lunch. I know it will be nothing less than the best. In fact, it will be extraordinary."

At this point, a very, very high quality MIDI of Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major faded in, and then quickly out, as a live assistant finished the call. Eleana asked me if I owned or leased my restaurant, how much of my personal music library I considered unacceptable to Mr. Trump, and other questions that seemed oddly malformed to fit around the concept of The Don. Caught off guard by the moment, I agreed to have Donald Trump and a “world class” staff in for lunch at Up Zach’s this Tuesday last.

Because it is illegal to land a helicopter in my neighborhood, Trump’s staff had to pull special permits to close down both the street and a few nearby families during his stay. I was dressed in black tails, and my wife had given me an extremely thin greasepaint mustache, as outlined in the contract (tip: draw it along the edge of a sheet of strong paper that is cut like the roof of a house). The Don’s lunch had already been prepared and sat under a special silver-lidded tray, because he had a meeting with Steve [Jobs] and Google [Steve’s border collie] in half an hour (I had been assured that this was the situation no matter what time I suggested for the reservation).......

Hey, the dude has to deal with depression, breakup, and the fact that he's living in a world where saying things like "The only gay dude I'M marryin' is a dumb broad with a big veiny rack" is probably no longer disqualifying for a presidential campaign

Which leads to one of my all-time favourite Achewoods.

"Remember when he made headlines by messin' up his taxes so bad he almost got lethal injection" never fails to crack me up completely.

Do you think when Onstad goes out to eat he throws a big fit if somebody tells him he isn't allowed to vape inside the restaurant.

If he does, it's in an internal self-loathing way where he has imaginary arguments with a large cast of restaurant employees of increasing rank.

All anyone will see is a slowly reddening man who looks alternately sad and angry.

Yeah, the amount of weed jokes since achewood returned > the amount of weed jokes in the strips prior 11 year run


Not that there's anything wrong with that. Onstad is at the "American Beauty" phase of the sad middle-age dad lifecycle. sadly, that is also the penultimate phase
