Lyle's cd: Trailer Rash is one of those deep album cuts that you hear it and you're like "ok the singles are fine but this is why the album exists"

Crossposting from the PYF terrible book thread because, as I posted there, for a split second I genuinely literally thought this was a parodical document produced by Onstad:

Unkempt posted:









I mean, some of it looks sort of interesting, but I don't think I want to pay money for that.
Specifically, when A Dictionary of International Slurs was listed as having "Many anti-Semitic examples." (and a foreword by a professor at Brandeis)
and also "Using stereotypes, members of professions, religious, ethnic groups, and animals are shown how they allegedly do it."

Like, Onstad absolutely could have written some of this, right?

"Some ain't need to be stoned in order to have strange cares." is such a beautiful sentence, aesthetically, but also when you juxtapose it with the ridiculous situation of beef sealed into a container to grill with radioactive arms, and Ray's gentle, completely non-judgmental commentary on it. Achewood is special god dammit.

I've remarked to a friend how only two comic strips have lodged themselves in their near-entirety into my head, Bloom County and Achewood. For some reason I have ridiculous recall for both but not any other strip, no matter how much I loved it.

My dad had Bloom County Babylon while I was growing up in the 80's and it helped me teach myself to read.

Achewood is very similarly formative for me except I was in my 20's and it didn't help me read but did give me the concept of "from circumstances" and death being the only game in town.

And the arc ends with Ray's "Just Some Knuckleheads From The Day!" quilt, which is a phrase that's also permanently stuck in my brain, and which I also want when I'm an astronaut spoon-feedin' dollar chili to a worse-lookin' astronaut at Wendy's.

Not that it was a risky prediction, but the poster who guessed that Ray would be immediately accepted and more popular than Pat got it right on.

Yeah but then you gotta try and align schedules so Robert Smith can call up during a sit-down bath and pass on your apology, which can be frustrating.
