Can't be Catholic clergy if he's married. Odds are "Catholic Strategy Guy Gus" is an anti-abortion lobbyist.

Well...not GUS

But whatever the clergy do they sure keeps it under their frock.

I don't know about the others, but I lamed you because I find it easier to go along with the crowd.

Also because you're drunk and I'm sober, and I'm not happy with that.

Urgh, I thought 'milt' might have been a typo of 'milk' (which would have been bad enough). But I had to go and check:

Milt is the seminal fluid of fish, mollusks, and certain other water-dwelling animals who reproduce by spraying this fluid, which contains the sperm, onto roe (fish eggs).

Milt as food

Milt or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, used as food.

In many cuisines, milt is served fried.

In Russian cuisine, herring milt is pickled the same way as the rest of the fish, but eaten separately, sometimes combined with pickled herring roe.

In Japanese cuisine, the milt (shirako 'white children') of cod (tara), anglerfish (anko) and pufferfish (fugu) are a delicacy.

I say again: urgh.

Molly (with infinite patience for her damaged man of Circumstance) should pack a ziplock bag of Cheerios for her overgrown baby at restaurants. Also if Herr Onstad uses RB to express his own ennui ... prepare for cat-divorce in Acheworld.

It's a measure of how much I care about these characters that it hurt a bit inside to read that Molly "hates" Beef even marginally... but it's so real.
gorrioncita » neu 6 months ago
it's really vindicating to think molly finds beef as insufferable as i do. hurry and get out molly~
ratacat » neu 6 months ago
insufferable? How so? And even if Beef might not be the ideal partner, what of Molly? It seems like Molly never really developed into a character, she has simply always been a foil for Beef. Who wants to marry a foil?

Prettying up BSD like that is worth a hundred bucks each, sure.
Maybe not a thousand, but then that backlit keyboard sure is, yo.

Actually the Server version of OSX 10.6 is way cheaper than Windows Server....GASP!!!
ratacat » neu 6 months ago
how can you compare OSX server to Windows Server? You might as well compare BSD to Windows 3.1. Or compare a nice car to a Ford from the 80's that's been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for the past decade.
scorpio_nadir » neu 6 months ago
For small offices, yo. It scales. Plus your 1st comparison is ironically backward.
You'd be surprised at some bigger mini-enterprises even using it.
ratacat » neu 6 months ago
I'm sure that some companies use OSX server, just as some people use OSX. It's just relatively rare that you find people with a mindset of productivity like that. So you're saying that OSX server is to Windows server what Windows 3.1 is to BSD? Hmmm...

Personally, I would've chosen someone more known for oratorial skills who wasn't a celibate bachelor.

milt (mlt) n.
1. Fish sperm, including the seminal fluid.


"boy-milt" is redundant. However, it is a good idea to get it unpasteurized, otherwise it loses potency.
granularsilica » neu 6 months ago
Quote:
"boy-milt" is redundant

Not so fast, gaucho, yes, all milt comes from "boys," but in the strip, it is milt from Bulgarian boys. Or as Chinese put it: Cumfromsomeyounguy
jeffspaulding » neu 6 months ago
Gaucho? But I don't have a spangled leather poncho.

Anyway, you'll notice that "boy-milt" is a compound word. Thus the term "boy" is directly modifying "milt" not "Bulgarian." I'll give in if it was a translation from a parochial European term (such as JungeSamen)
i_love_kate » neu 6 months ago
Or maybe it just means as opposed to man-milt? Which as we all know, has only half the culinary uses.
salvar » neu 6 months ago
Or quite possibly it emphasizes the fact that this milt did not come from fish.
granularsilica » neu 6 months ago
You caught that gaucho/Groucho thing I did, you clever stogie sucker you. Bulgarian milt comes from both boys and men, as i_love_kate already said.

nice-on-water » neu 6 months ago
I mean I've thought about that before. I know vomit is (sometimes) our response to what we consider disgusting, if it's disgusting enough, and we all hopefully have a negative response to vomit, so I can imagine someone's vomit making someone else vomit, etc ad naseum, pun intended. This is what I think about.

I've never actually vomited just because something external disgusted me. I'd like to be able to, though. It would make a very strong statement against something to vomit on command in response to it.

It has been suggested that a good number of people fear vomiting more than they fear such things as labor pains and death. It is apparently one of the most traumatizing things for humans to go through.

steev_dayv » neu 6 months ago
The only thing that causes me to blow chunks these days is a large dose of L, or copious amounts of alcohol.

Still, under those circumstances, it is usually a life-affirming experience that leaves me baptized in my own sweat, hugging porcelain, panting harder than any physical activity has ever made me. Gulping air. Tears indiscriminately stream with beads of sweat, collect at my chin and drip off the tip of my beard.

Just one more gut wrenching heave as my soul is evacuated into a toilet. Everything goes a little white.

And then the breath comes again. A gasp. Unexpected. I'm alive. Just very messy.

Vomiting has never bothered me. If I've felt a bit ill due to excess with alcohol (or on a few rare occasions food) I've always prefered to just get it other with and get rid of what's making me feel bad. On top of this I can usually vomit on demand (Lyle would be proud) without any silly fingers down throat nonesense though I don't exactly do this as a party trick (Lyle would be disapointed).

I am also of the school of not hating vomiting. In my opinion, not vomiting is way, way worse than feeling like you have to vomit but not doing it.

scorpio_nadir » neu 6 months ago
Man, I've had at least 4 public barfs in my day that had a distinct humiliation factor- which is why I included that.
When I was 10 or so- remember the air-raid drills we did in elementary school? I think it was right after lunch, and we're all standing in lines along the walls in the hall before we go back to the classrooms. You remember the H-bomb drills, etc.

I'm feeling disoriented, and then this big hand squeezes my body and I hurl 2 huge puddles of barf in the hall. It was so dramatic, my best friend followed suit right after.
...And we were *.* that close to starting a mass hysterical vomitation in the hall.

Would have been great if it was planned, but I think it was mild food poisoning from the cafeteria.

After high school and 1st year of college, one summer my friend took a job for a termite exterminator. He had always been healthy as a horse, but he good leukemia soon after that, died age 19. Brutal. I heard about it a few months later.
People didn't sue then like later either.

I remember "duck and cover" drills. Parents today worry about the background hum of terrorist threats and the effect it has on our children's delicate psyches. What a bunch of wimps -- in my childhood we had constant reminders of an evil empire that not only hated us but had the power to kill us all in a truly gruesome way.

Coincidentally, I watched Atomic Cafe last night; I was stuck by the government's sense of divine entitlement to nuclear weapons. Seeing American jingoism flashed on the screen in concentrated form is overwhelming.

You may use the above link to automatically read multiple strips, thereby allowing your new assetbar account to make as many comments as you like. (New assetbar accounts aren't allowed to make multiple comments until they've "read" an ungodly number of strips.)

As a side note, it sure is nice how assetbar leads you to believe you are allowed to make comments, and then dumps your comment after you type it, giving you a message saying that you're not allowed to make comments and to please try again tomorrow. Of course people find this combination of ineptitude and arrogance to be infuriating.

Catholic Strategy: It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for advice.
hatstand_mcq » neu 6 months ago
If you are a Catholic and you are washed up on a desert island, and find a man there who has never heard of Christianity, you must tell him about Jesus etc (on pain of damnation). However, if he listens to you but does not convert then he is bound for hell, whereas before his he was in a state of 'invincible error' and incapable of committing mortal sins. Therefore, by telling him about Jesus you are actually making it less likely that he will get into heaven. Catholic strategy should therefore be to avoid knowing anything at all about Catholicism. However, if you know enough about Catholicism to know that then you are already doomed (or you'll at least have to give up the sex and cocaine). It's sort of like The Game. By the time you know the rules you've already lost.

well.. what if you're wrong gladi8? What if you're wrong... and you know... odds are that you are wrong. 99.999% of what everyone believes is wrong.

I think that the most fundamental truth is that life is probably meaningless. I mean, come on... universe... time... space... gravity... does any of that make any fucking sense? No. hell no. The universe emerged from a space smaller than the head of a pin...? Big bang? WTF?

the only way that human life can have any meaning at all is if they discover some weird multi-dimensional shit with the LHC. Maybe somewhere there is another dimension where life has meaning. But in the context of the universe as we presently know it, hell no. I mean, first off, we missed most of the good stuff. It was billions of years ago that shit was interesting. Now everything is settled down, drifting through space, entropying. And a few billion trillion more years, and whamo, the universe is going to implode again, or dissolve into nothingness or something. WTF.

point being, anyone who believes in GOD is crazy. plum crazy. There is no GOD. I'm not joking when I say this. NO GOD. none. niet! I think the best proof of there being no GOD is people. Look at how dumb people is. Now who is it who most commonly goes on and on about GOD? Answer: People. Dumb people.

You think that a dimension in which a being could exist with the ability to create in the "lower" dimensions and see things (such as time) 3-dimensionally when we cannot view them at all is... dumb.

And... I would assume you believe that all of the things in our dimension came from................................... nowhere... So people who think this stuff came from somewhere are dumb and you are... not dumb.

I entirely agree with you about Superman. 90 percent of his difficulties are caused because he attempts to lead a double life, for reasons that are not entirely clear. However you've got to wonder where you draw the line. Would a disabled superhero (and I don't mean like Daredevil disabled, with crazy compensatory abilities, I mean properly impaired) be better, because they are even more gritty. I think you've got to remember that the whole Superhero genre is at root one of fantasy and wish fulfillment. The problem with Superman is that he caters to our fantasies of being remarkable and unique, but at the cost of our fantasies of being brave and tough. Superman cannot be brave because he is invincible, and he can't be tough because he feels no pain.

Year of Publication: 1998
ABSTRACT

Efficient graph search is a central issue in many aspects of AI. In most of existing work there is a distinction between the active %u201Csearcher%u201D, which both executes the algorithm and holds the memory, and the passive %u201Csearched graph%u201D, over which the searcher has no control at all. Large dynamic networks like the Internet, where the nodes are powerful computers and the links have narrow bandwidth and are heavily&dash;loaded, call for a different paradigm, in which most of the burden of computing and memorizing is moved from the searching agent to the nodes of the network. In this paper we suggest a method for searching an undirected, connected graph using the Vertex&dash;Ant&dash;Walk method, where an a(ge)nt walks along the edges of a graph G, occasionally leaving %u201Cpheromone%u201D traces at nodes, and using those traces to guide its exploration. We show that the ant can cover the graph within time \mathrm{O}(nd), where n is the number of vertices and d the diameter of G. The use of traces achieves a trade&dash;off between random and self&dash;avoiding walks, as it dictates a lower priority for already&dash;visited neighbors. Further properties of the suggested method are: (a) modularity: a group of searching agents, each applying the same protocol, can cooperate on a mission of covering a graph with minimal explicit communication between them&semi; (b) possible convergence to a limit cycle: a Hamiltonian path in G (if one exists) is a possible limit cycle of the process.

I'm trying something. Shorter comics, less often.

The joke is that Onstad lures Assetbarbarians with his grandiose claims, and then fails to deliver on his wondrous promises as always.

oh onstrad, you troll me.

You troll me so hard.
You troll me like I'm your little bitch-boy slave.
You troll me....

...until I am SO trolled

In this quiet period, I thought I would explain, for those who don't get it, what my online name means: Sand.

Then you look at the picture, and if you took any American Lit classes, poetry division, you recognize the Chicago poet, Carl Sand______ (fill in the blank)

The hand/face thing is from long ago in a discussion far away (on Assetbar: Handface Weekend).

I figured out Sandburg the moment I saw your avatar. The meaning of hamscout took a year though (embarrassingly).

Oh, and I just figured out the genesis of "nice-on-water" above.
granularsilica » neu 6 months ago
Do tell, I have no clue ... a boat?

And I would have never gotten hamscout.

Well there's the reason -- I've never read that strip. There was a dark period where I thought free access was gone and didn't bother logging on. Now I'm going to act out on some red wine.

There ya go.

When I made that I thought it was a lot more self-explanatory than it actually seems to be. It's apparently way more cryptic than I ever intended.

Yours, however, is quite plain. You're a mensch. A real mensch.

It's sort of test of the educational system in the States -- do they still teach Sandburg? And I love the shot (I've still got hair, sort of like him, not as white yet), and the poetry.
nice-on-water » neu 6 months ago
I haven't been taught Sandburg, and I'm an English major. I had a very general American Lit II (say Gilded Age to now) that ignored some pretty awesome writers (Salinger, Vonnegut, Pynchon, Oates, Carver, basically anyone who's anyone) in favor of immigrant/minority writers. The closest thing we had to Sandburg was Williams Carlos Williams, or as I like to call him, DubCDub.

You are the Linda Richman of Assetbar. I appreciate that.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you only knew the nights I've lain awake agonising over this conundrum.

The best I could come up with was George, or the famous South Australian saint to be, Mary McSandgroper; I never considered Carl Sandstorm at all!

Like chum to sharks. Nice to hear from you all. V-chubs all around. Now I need a nap.

Whatever, Holmes. It's go time, they down to the wire, this is suspense like in 24 and we are here at ground zero, watching it all go down. Tonight we will find out whether malcontented fanatics will bitch. Don't tell me this isn't a thing.

That last panel is an anthem for women everywhere.

In 2011, a Minnesota-area ska band will rename itself from "Chunky Chunky Chicken" to "Catholic Strategy Gus."

Apparently Roast Beef thinks January bruschetta is like Lessons of Darkness.
