You can do whatever you want in life.


I am interrupting my bedside guitar, humming "love will tear us apart" just to set y'all straight.

Ray just wanted to meet Polly and hang with her and Connie in a dinner, but seeing Polly made things happen to himself, and in trying to control himself he squeezed his wrist which triggered a dormant hypnosis pick-up method Ray had learned in the... 80s, I think?

After that happened ( "ju want some mocha, chica? " ) Ray thought it was quick-Onset diabetes but Vlad "read" Ray as wanting to re-balance the universe by making Polly be with him instead of Connie, etc etc.

Achewood was amazing.

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
Oh, right, poo poo. I had completely forgotten about Polly... just like Chris Onstad did heeyooo

i've been seeing "oh my god that is the worst possible answer in the universe" being used as a Thing on twitter lately and it tickles me that all these years later my brain knows to insert "bitches better take their oval office pills! I ain't wearing no gunny sack!" at the start

also "the only gay dude i'm marrying is a dumb broad with a big veiny rack"

Something I always loved about Achewood was how the darker stories like Philippe at the Transfer Station, Ray in Hell, Phillipe and Nice Pete Go to the Quarry, Cartilage Head contrast with the lighter jokes that make up most of the strip. Almost as if the world is a dark and frightening place, but inside the orbit of these knuckleheads and their friends there is light, friendship, and shared happiness.

Except for when Pat shot Beef. That was kind of outside the normal orbit.

I've spread the phrase to several friends who've never read Achewood. It's a good phrase.

No, I think guys who come from circumstances generally stand a pretty reasonable chance of getting shot at least once in their lives.

A Tale of Woe:

I used to own a copy of "A Home for Scared People"

I loaned it to a person. I will never get it back.

I bought it for $8 used on Amazon. It is now $55-$65 everywhere because it is out of print.

My copies of "The Great Outdoor Fight" and "Worst Song, Played on Ugliest Guitar" weep on the shelves.

So yeah if anyone has one or sees one in a used bookstore, i'll pay for shipping and buy you a platinum upgrade for the help.

Also: Never ever ever loan out good books to lovely people.

It hurts me that you did not like my joke. It... I don't know... it makes me extremely angry. Like you think I have a low mind. I can't have you out there telling people about this now, can I?

I wish more than anything I didn't have to do this. You are so pretty.

He made nachos later. He called them "Galaxy Nachos"? Is that a certain recipe? They were so tasty that I wished I had made them instead of him. I really need to get in control of this.

I read that and immediately my mind leapt to "Dr. Andretti just cannot get the idea of that door being closed."

Anyhow, Ray's deep-seated, constant fear when it comes to Type II is something I can relate to 100%. Every time I lose weight - even if it's because I'm eating right and exercising - I'm convinced that this is it, The Sugar has taken hold. That's why I'm tired, that's why my feet are hot.
