No. We're experiencing some delays with the cookbook, but are working fervently to circumvent them.

If it was part of my anniversary order, will my other stuff be delayed until the cookbook is ready?

How did you know where I purchased my beer. And really, Whole Foods prices beer the same as anywhere else. Mine does, anyways. And I am proud to say I have never purchased organic sunchokes there, only beer.

So ordering some of this as soon as I can!


Unfortunately it's seasonal and way out of season. I was lucky that my Whole Foods got a random case in out of nowhere. I would love to have stout chat and exchange stout notes though, I know tons of other awesome ones.

Huh, I never had much trouble finding good beers while I was out there visiting a friend, but then we didn't go to many bars, and one we did go to was a brewpub, and so had their own beers as well as a pretty good selection of others. But maybe you just didn't go to the right bars?

Speaking of good beers, I'm usually a stouts and porters guy, but last night I had a glass of Dragon's Milk Ale from New Holland Brewing Company. I was very pleased with it, and I recommend anyone who can find it give it a try.

What a coincidence. I had that the other night too. It actually does have kind of a milky taste to it, but in a really good, delicious way. I recommend it as well.

Who would have thought Achewood fans are also good beer fans?!

The Missing Link posted:

I'm implying that he's five, and that octogenarian is not his mother. He may call her "Mom", and regard her as such, but I have serious doubts that she gave birth to him. Granted, I haven't been reading Achewood for as long as you guys have so it's jarring to see this little old lady be presented as the actual factual birth mother of a five year old.

She has a string (of pearls?) to keep from losing her glasses! That's pretty typical of Little Old Ladies.

I think that's just Onstad's idea of an archetypal mom. Cassandra looks fairly similar.

You guys are really running with the "Philippe is 5" thing. It was a great joke in that strip, but he's not a drat Highlander. It's not like everyone else in the strip ages noticeably around him.

Custodes posted:

I'm pretty sure that this strip implies that Phillipe literally will not age along with everyone else. And he does seem to be the only one who is free from death if only because he never loses his innocence.

Right, and I'm saying people are taking that strip literally when it's just supposed to be a joke.

I'm saying it's more about the tragedy of parents getting old and things never feeling the same as the first time than it is about a magic otter boy who never ages, and that people are reading into the "Philippe is five" thing too much.

Exactly. And I think the creepy insistence that Philippe ask for that dinner was a way of making sure living with his mom again is what is really best for him.

Here, let me cheer things up! :haw:

I re-read the Trip to Germany arc, as I visited Germany last year for work and wanted to see if I could use my newfound encyclopedic knowledge of Germany to pick up on any references to stuff in the strips.

Like Ray, I flew into Frankfurt, and like Ray, I initially had problems getting a hang on the German lingo (though I did recall what "pommes oder brot" meant thanks to the strip).

Unlike Ray, I did not make a suit out of copies of "Der Spiegel" nor did I partake of any fingernail schnapps (I stuck to several rounds of "ein großes hefeweizen, bitte" for my nightly imbibing).

Sadly I didn't get to partake of a currywurst, either. :smith:

I had a similar experience in Austria last month. Also I wore that Teodor shirt with all the German on it and they told me it was really bad German, although they liked the use of "Stammtisch".

This is it. My favorite Achewood comic so far. Onstad, if nothing else, you will be remembered forever by me as the man who penned the comic that filled me with unending glee.

The alt text on the strip after that might be one of the funniest things I have ever read. Ahaha, I totally forgot about that.

On the other hand, it's less progressive in that the presentation of gay characters is often through a lens of straight characters being made uncomfortable by them and their gayness.

Some of them, but I think Pat and Rod are handled pretty well.

I love the change of tone too. Achewood can be a lot of things. It's hilarious most of the time, so let it be like Ian Curtis sang a song that David Lynch wrote about Charles Manson for a while, alright people?


Having said that, there has never been a better opportunity to include men being punched on the erection and slidewhistle noises.
