With this strip as an influence, I painted WORD UP on the side of a warehouse in LA's Chinatown once.

that is pretty raw, to do a crime and then post about it on the internet. (seriously, this comment is made without any sort of sarcasm)

Chubbies for the both of you.

p.s. I wrote 'penis' on a paper towel dispenser in my high school bathroom one time. IMMORTALITY!

One time, I wrote "The chamber of secrets has been opened" in the girls' bathroom at my old high school.

but yer a DUDE...

On the internets, assuredly.

Alas, poor girl. I knew her, DUDE...

At my old high school was the words "MORE FUCK" carved into the table of the Yr 12 common room. Always a personal favourite of mine.

Hey, you're British. High five.

The best thing were i live in Oxford is the spelling corrections and grammar alterations in the graffiti; that and the whitty remarks spray painted: 'Capitalism is boring'.

Written on a fence across the road from an elementary school for the better part of 12 years, in two foot high letters: "SEX TO THE bus". I don't know why they switched to lowercase either.

Suddenly, they became embarrassed about shouting as people were listening to their fence.

there was this long ad, or offer i guess you would cal it, written on the wall of a stall in the library men's room, something like "If you want some head on the lowdown give me a call..." under it someone had written "you are gay"

That's pretty much boilerplate for mens room graffiti.

I don't know, I've never been to The Boiler Plate but it sounds like a place that would have a lot of mens room graffiti.

That was an astute observation that the respondant made.

It is the code word. Now that I've heard the call I've got to get it under way.

If there's music, you could use it.

Feel free to dance.

Why is Roast Beef so upset I don't understand and it makes me scared

Maybe he thinks that Ray is lying to him like he did that time with the rudest titties.

Roast Beef does not seem to approve of drugs; he insisted on a hermetic plexiglas dome for the stoned softball league.

He may also be jealous that his best friend, who just lied to him to get him to come back from the moon and then shot him, has started up a company with Teodor.

The words "who just lied to him to get him to come back from the moon and then shot him" may be the funniest statement I have heard, ever.

His distaste for drugs might come from the fact that the only time he ever toked he killed himself on a golf cart.

Or has that happened yet?

Yeah, I hear frequent drug use tends to lead to a happier outlook on life and greater mental and emotional wellbeing.

Uhh I'm not as anti-drug as that sounded. But come on. That was just dumb.

It can actually help depression. Depends on the person, depends on the weed.

Call me.

I chubbied ya -- that good enough??

I never quite understood this, as he seems to smoke weed quite regularly on the blog.

One of the first I ever saw. Needless to say, it was enough.

I love this strip, but why is Beef so mad? I just...don't understand.

Perhaps it is because Ray took Phillipe's advice over his at the focus group?

RB hates stoners

i've seen peeps with depression lash out like this. it seems like a pretty awesome build-up for a lame burn when a dude is just inviting you over to celebrate. but depressed people ARE kind of sick in their minds so who knows WHAT is going on wih beef today. all i know is i don't have time for him when he's like this - he can basically stay in and code, because i'm going to hang out with my friends. Fine. FINE!

YES

I always thought he just felt left out...

In this strip, Roast Beef lays down the smack.

I think maybe some people have been throwing stuff at Roast Beef and that has made him mad? He even made a sign about it.

No, it's a sign reminding him not to throw stuff at the wall. Written on behalf of the wall.

I have never seen that sign until today, I love it now

nah man huey don't smoke no weed

"I Want A New Drug" seems to suggest that in fact he has.

Aberlour isn't exactly "kinky", it is good though

Beef makes his case.

It's a Don't Throw Stuff at Roast Beef Thursday.

damn frickin straight it is.

when is it okay to throw stuff things at Beef?

Tuesday

Alt text: Huey Lewis used to the same thing as his mom's house at christmas, in the bathroom

don't throw stuff at ME.

Once upon a time, I was on a message board I frequent, and somebody had a link with the text "Kinky Abelour" in their sig. Eventually I got curious and clicked on it. The rest, as they say, is history.

Roast Beef is above the influence.

WORD UP

Huey Lewis is referenced alot in American Psycho.

Their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to Be Square."

Two possibilites here:
1. Beef has pent-up anger at Ray for not noticing his little cries for help.

2. Other possibility: Beef is RIGHTEOUSLY upset at Ray for not being a proper player. Single-malts and Guinness? Huey Lewis? Weed- OK, fine, but out of a bong? More like a South Bay yuppie than a player. Might as well be Paul Giamatti in "Sideways." Don't get me wrong, I like Aberlour just fine but then I ain't no hip hop playa.

Y'know, I have to say... this is my single favorite Roast Beef strip ever. Why is he upset? Does he even know? Probably not -- and you KNOW that he sat down and cried for at least an hour after hanging up that phone. And yet, even knowing that, it's still funny as hell in a way that I can't even try to put my finger on. 5.

Yep, I agree. Plus, his insult is SO BAD at the end, it barely makes sense! Really funny, but I kinda feel bad for Beef here.

i always kind of figured beef's upset with ray for starting a computer-based business with teodore after what happened to ray and beef's eggminder business. beef is fired by his best friend, then left out of the next business venture and then invited to the celebration party? poor taste, ray. you couldn't even have an eggminder celebration party. you couldn't, because you fired roast beef.

I have the feeling, given a good enough event in their lives, Ray and Teodor could paint either some or all of the town red--probably using a giant pneumatic sprinkler-system devised by Ray as originally stipulated in a grant for city-wide pipe density reduction.

i want a new drug.
not really

This is... my favourite Achewood. Why is Beef driven into righteous rage by this combination of factors? Why does Guinness, Huey Lewis & the News, and weed cause such a fury?

I also enjoy the juxtaposition between the scrawled "WORD UP" and the "don't throw stuff at ME".
