I was angry and frustrated at a meeting a few months ago and busted out "You can do whatever you want in life!" at the end of a rant criticizing a really really foolish path we were heading down.

Todd's Fiesta Name is that he's completely loving tweaking. To this day I am perpetually disappointed that there is not actually a Fiesta Max in Las Vegas. Does anyone know what Onstad actually based that on?

I don't think it's based on one specific place, but large dining chains with generic food and "quirky" "fun" practices (think T.G.I. Fridays and the pieces of flair, Joe's Crab Shack and making the staff line dance) that rob the staff and customers of their dignity. Also shades of novelty restaurants like Casa Bonita and Magic Time Machine. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Sep 2, 2017 |

A couple of strips later. - TODD! PLEASE DO NOT PLAY TWO DIFFERENT SONGS ON TWO DIFFERENT STEREOS AT THE SAME TIME! - S–S–SCREW YOU! I ONLY LISTEN TO DOUBLE MUSIC! That said, the other day I read the last Achewood strips (i.e. everything from the Achewood High arc on  ) and was cruelly reminded that Onstad just started running on empty at some point. His trying too hard to come up with Achewoodian dialogue was especially sad to watch.

Yeah, every time I see that strip, I think of a specific place in St. Joseph, Missouri. I don't remember its name, but it wanted to give you half-gallon margaritas and the entire place looked like the decorating budget was 80,000 Skee-Ball prize tickets.

Why you think record players used to be so huge and loud, and grownups so drunk? We had it figured out, man. But then the magazines came and took it all away.

I assume I would have heard of it before, but I searched a little bit just now, and I'm surprised no one ever attempted to record a version of "rear end in Your Pants"

Hey, if you know anyone who does ragtime/hip-hop, go for it. Someone did make a wiki for the Great Outdoor Fight and I was silly enough to contribute to it.

My favourite thing about that strip is that Hulk Hogan's album with "The Wrestling Boot Band" was a real thing and featured, among other things, a touching ballad called "Hulkster in Heaven". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIoUkoaYPj8

I just recently learned that Onstad wrote the cookbook after finding the French Laundry Cookbook useless. I looked it up and good grief, the first recipe is salmon tartare in little cones that a zillion people have been reduced to tears trying to make.
