Lyle’s not that kind of dude, you guys are overthinking this

Like of course he knows who Ramses is and respects him on several levels and probably Sondra too but also this is Rays parents at Roast Beef’s wedding y’all don’t need to write an essay about it
Yeah, and Lyle is likely sitting there because Ray asked him as a favor to keep Sondra company during the wedding. He put on a nice suit and is somewhat sobered up, hence the sobriety sweats, and realizes what's going on and leaves so Ramses can take his seat.

Lyle is a pretty good person when he's not drunk. But he's often drunk.

not even a hint of lyle leaving his seat. he sees ramses and is No Longer There

Gotta say that Lyle's eyebrows tell the story. I always assumed he had too much product on his hair and it was running down his face rather than sweating.

Anyway, eyebrows. Slightly annoyed on the tap, turns with thunderous expression - who is bothering him? Sees Rameses, expression of surprise, leaves pronto - and I guess the factors in that are well, it's RLS and he's sitting next to a drat legend's ex-wife. Of course he gets up and finds another seat.

I've been trying to find a specific Achewood, but the site's search is failing me. It's the one where Ray is browsing Craigslist and finds an ad for an escort with the prices listed as flowers. I remember the phrase "no drama/some drama", and some kind of sovereign citizen thing. It concludes with Ray being upset that you didn't used to have to go to university to get your wick dipped or some other achewoodism.

It's driving me nuts that I can't find it. Any help?

I love that when Little Nephew made up a pot dealer character to scare Ray, he immediately went for Japan. You know, the guys who stereotypically are pot dealers.

Theodor might not have been wrong about him being the kinda guy who buys magazines about car stereos.

My prediction for the end of this arc (but maybe not especially risky) - is that this is entirely just a financial scheme meant to fleece Ray and he'll fall for it. Cult leader wearin' them fancy shoes and talking about how money won't even matter after a large one-time investment.

e: And it's getting VERY "Scientology" with the group ostensibly looking like self-help to new members, but turns into insane batshit theory reserved only for the top sanctum that have bought their way up.

Pat will save Ray by being an rear end in a top hat. The question is whether or not he will somehow reconcile with Rod.

Referring to Ray as the Whale was pretty much giving that one away, agreed. The real question on my mind is whether or not Pat understood what a "Whale" means when he used that term.

Hah that's hilarious, I completely missed the Whale detail. It's also noticeable that once Pat's use as a social connection was expended, the cult leader quickly switched off his religious rhetoric.
