The Champagne and the Clapper are an amazing contrast.

i think it's safe to assume that once Ray realized he did not in fact have a clapper, he immediately replaced all the lighting in his house.

Rayonnaise?

Why are there so many screen names alluding to fetus-based violence?

He is angry at the fetus piñata.

This is a great .gif animation! I could use this.

Ha ha, but really? Why would you even save that? C'mon.

I think it's an natural reaction to there being over 6 billion humans on the planet. Clearly that is too many and we need to... well I'm not going to say it.

Alls I'm saying is that forbidden fruit is delicious [see Bible, page 10] and what's more forbidden than eating fetuses?

Don't even think that.

Bitch, why you steal my creation?

Because he is aiu.

I fucking hate you and hope you die.

I knew that guy was a troll. Probably aiu. Come to think of it, I'm not sure we have any other trolls.

Does Dr. Manflesh still count as a troll, or is he some kind of Renaissance man now?

Personally, I ignore him, but that's just me.

Haha, your photoshop skills, they are terrible. My feelings on this asset are con

Hey, what...Oh, DAMN IT, digested fetus. At least spell foetus in the manner of a class act. Puh-leaze.

definite chubby for being able to weave both definitions into the demonstrative sentance.

I can picture Ray now: "Operator? Yea, get me Merriam-Webster on the phone. Whoever the head honcho is now."

"4:22 and drunk as a lord".

Maybe he picked up a trick or two just from being in the same room with his father.

Yeah, I immediately thought it was an inherited trait.

Whoops!

I think you have an issue with your transparency filter or some such high-tech nonsense that I know very little about.

As graphically low-class as it is, it is still a biting social commentary on current events.

Agreed.

Too bad it will now be banished to the ignore dimension along with the flashing gifs he's been posting. Why waste the effort on making quality posts if you're gonna be a troll anyway?

It is sad, though, to be torn between chubbying a post and ignoring the user. I already marked all the giant blinking gifs as spam, so this is the last post of under's where I can choose a path. You can't do two things on one post. I guess I'll have to ignore, just to make those things go away.

Wise move. If he's who we think he is, lames won't help. He'll just make a new account to get around them, and you will run out of lames. Then what will you do when people post Family Circus in here?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Ray doesn't have the Clapper, yes. Remember - he is the son of the Man who can open a beer bottle with a well placed, "pfoo".

He's in training.

I think the bottle was already open and is just splashing a little in bed.

Speaking of splashing a little in bed I need to get me some of those pumps.

That's what she said.

I used to splash a little in bed sometimes when I was younger, and then my mom would yell at me and call me names and not let me watch Lost that day.

Wait. Lost? How much younger can we possibly be talking? A few years?

which leads to the question...

is elbox from History??

i'll try to refrain from this statement as much as i can (though it may be hard as we may be referencing History a lot with the company that LN's hooked up with.)

Still sort of ironing out ideas on what kind of poster you were going to be here, were ya? Cute.

Do you mean because he only types certain words in all caps and not all of them?

I see that I was one of the 2 people who chubbied him, actually. I still stand by that.

Yeah, just don't go back to my first post during Handface Weekend. I, ugh, I can't excuse that shit.

Out of respect, I will not.

That is the exact subtextual reading I was going for, though it took me disturbingly long to think of a reference that would immediately be recognized as recent.

You can see the cirk on Ray's pillow.

Cork, rather.

I'm sorry, but I can't see any cock in that picture

The clapper opened the champagne bottle and the cork from the bottle turned off the light switch. Ray is a playa.

I had assumed that being Son of Luther, the ability to open Liquors through such means runs through his veins.

guy can't yet quite blow the top off of a bottle of brew, but the affinity for such a thing is there.

Yes in-fucking-deedy!

That's the perfect line for your new avicon.*

*[A guy sort of snapping his fingers across his body]

Okay, I get the source now. Not funny, not cool.

MOST unsexily.

For Pogo, if he hasn't seen it already: Bible History #1
I recommend clicking "watch all episodes"--all good stuff.

Potentially nsfw, though. I mean, they're just cartoons...but you possibly don't want your boss to catch you watching cartoons. Cartoons that make fun of the bible and reference the masturbatory habits of a thirty-year-old man-child. Guess it depends on where you work.

If you work at a church, then chances are you're not on Assetbar so it's okay.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Yeah that's kinda stereotyping.

You'd be surprised.

As a guy that was on the leadership at a couple of churches recently, I can say that it is pretty standard amongst Western Christian morality to avoid dirty jokes, blasphemy, and the suchlike:

4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Ephesians 5:4 (New International Version)
(obviously there's a lot of other verses and contexts in the Bible that put forward this sorta idea)

Now, I was a full-on Christian and constantly enjoyed Achewood, because it's hilarious and I took verses like this and doctrines based on the general idea to be dependent on the social context (example: in Australia, you can say "ass/arse" on midday TV and nobody bats an eye, whereas in the US they even censor "balls" last time I checked - obscenity is dependent on your social context), and I also had a number of fellow born-again friends who enjoyed similar humour. So I'm not saying that everyone who's a serious Christian, or works in a church that falls within the pale of generally accepted Christian orthodoxy, will not read Achewood - but chances are, given commonly accepted Christian teaching on course joking, they won't.

That's all I'm sayin', bra.

Edit: "Now, I was a full-on Christian and constantly enjoyed Achewood during that time..."

i consider myself a serious Christian and am taking a break from being a leader for my church's youth group. there are times that you can take yourself (and/or your beliefs) too seriously and that's where bible-thumping and abortion clinic bombings come from.

it's no secret that more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason..but when Jesus was all about loving people, you gotta step back sometimes and figure exactly where you stand.

Yeah I love Jesus and I love Achewood.

You can have your cake and go to heaven too.

I will reiterate what I say:

"chances are, given commonly accepted Christian teaching on course joking, they won't."

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm actually agreeing with you.

Saul good, homestyle. just sayin' my thing. Achewood is a good comic. (and also a website!)

Not a problem. Didn't want it to sound like an attack on anyone's beliefs, instead making an attempted amusing comment about the standards of a particular subculture, in a deadpan fashion in context with the Assetbarian sub-subculture. Theological, ethical, or philosophical criticisms were not intended.

I personally have Issues and Bitterness that it would be folly to go into here*, but I'm not saying anyone's Right or Wrong or Stupid, either - because hell, I may well be. I just, currently, have disagreements, which are my own and should be neither your blessing nor your curse.

*I sorta went into it anyway.

now I'm nitpicking

"'coarse joking'"

I heard a top 40 radio station in the US censor "drugs" from that horrible Nickelback song "Rock Star".

When I was a DJ, we heard about some college station being fined for saying something "sucks".

Ha ha! What?

I've heard God censored on radio, as in Harvey Danger "They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee **** damn you"

A lot of people censor 'god damn'. It's oft believed to fall under the realm of "Lord's name in vain". You can usually hear 'god' and 'damn', just not together

Yeah, but it's funny that they choose to censor "god" and not "damn" which is a borderline cuss word. Kind of like on network TV, if someone says "asshole" they bleep out "hole" instead of "ass". That always amused me.

Having to choose between Jesus and Achewood should never be an either/or.

It doesn't bother me that you feel that way.

But fuck you for making me read that sentence.

And now, I'm going to nitpick, because it's fun to. And I have a number of chips on my manly, lumberjackian shoulders:

Quote:

I hate it when people mention this, because by and large, I would argue that more people were killed in the name of greed than anything else.

Sometimes religious beliefs were the reasoning, but the vast majority of wars were fought purely due to one group of people wanting the natural resources/money/slaves/whatever of another group of people. Often religious beliefs were used, by rulers or society or both, and to varying extent, as a justification for it (see: The 2003 American Invasion of Iraq), but deep down it generally comes down to economics. This could potentially even be argued for The Crusades (I'll leave the details of such an argument for or against to someone more knowledgeable on the subject than I).

That's if we're talkin' wars, of course. Massacres, witchhunts, The Game, and various other murders and the suchlike: the most common reasoning for these are up to debate, and the variables are surely numerous.

as money is the root of all evil, i accede to your reasoning.

skrad: 1
capn: less than 1.

Quote:

[/i]10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.[/i]
1 Timothy 6:10

Okay I'll stop now. I wasn't going to be such a pedant, but I'd already pressed "Post".

BOOBS

LOVE THEM etc

I find it very amusing to watch two people being very careful to make sure neither offends the other.

Offensiveness is very underrated.

I fucked your mother just before she died. The last thing she saw was my sweaty sex face. She loved that terrible face more than she loved your existence.

it would've completely turned Assetbar into a civil war...though i would have like nobody on my side.

(and ultimately it would be kitty nom nom ftw)

I agree, the tired old cliche about people being killed in the name of religion needs to be debunked. Wars are about power and resources, and in Europe at least, both sides were saying "God bless us."

Y'all are so sensible!

Religion is messed up.

Quote:

The speaker at my sister's college was a Catholic cardinal, namely Cardinal Sin of the Philippines. He told dirty jokes during his speech. They involved husbands and wives, but the jokes were about sex. You could argue he was Eastern, but his religion was as Western as they come.

Wait, did you say his name was Cardinal Sin?

He did and it was.

Presbyterians seem to be the most liberal. We recently started allowing gay pastors and participating in the Day of Silence.

You got nothing on unitarians or Quakers.

By the way, it was my UU church that got shot up last week.

Not good, not cool, makes me a very pissed off and hurt UU.

Hey, I used to be one of them Presbyterians! Figures they'd let the gays in as soon as I left the church.

That's awesome, no doubt, but I repeat: it's not standard. Oh, I know full well that it happens, but not hugely often it's gotta be said.

I not only work at a church, I want to get my MDiv. And Achewood is just about my favorite thing ever!

Except for Jesus. He pretty much tops the list.

I've always thought the qualification "Master of Divinity" to be far too easily misconstrued as claiming something else entirely.

Being really good at making delicious, nougaty, vanilla-flavored confections?

For those who don't know

Sweet, sweet, sinful divinity.

That's too much to expect from Assetbar. You know this.

It seems to be working. His eyes are at least 30% smaller than in the reception scene, and his eyebrows have moved an inch or so downward. The lad will be alright.

His penance is to listen to their bizarre (totally hot) mating rituals for the next several hours

You can just hear his inner jealousy and lust and bitterness. Why do you torture yourself T?

So, uh, want to get a drink? What are your feelings on manacles?

44 minutes. Nice catch. I was hoping to see some sort of goofy RPG/news from the north crossover here, but I applaud your speed prof

I will continue chubbying "what news from the north" posts even if I am the only one left. It's just you and me, prof, up against the world!

As will I, as long as I have a chubby to spare when they appear. And I did this time.

I don't get it. Did I miss something? Will someone explain it?

it's supposed to be like from some Roman gig, someone named Manacles riding back from war and folk yelling 'what news of the [wherever]'.

at least this is my understanding. someone else got a better explanation?

Specifically, it comes from a discussion of how the plural of "clitoris" is "clitorides," which sounds like the name of a dogg who might have some news from the north. A better man than I can find the exact asset and link you to it.

It's here, just search for "clitorides" and you'll see the genesis of this lovely meme, with me unwittingly planting the seed and the professor eagerly impregnating himself with it.

It's from Braveheart:
Longshanks: What news of the North?
Prince Edward: Nothing new, Your Majesty. We've sent riders to speed any word.
Longshanks: I heard the word in France where I was fighting to expand your future kingdom. The word, my son, is that our entire Northern Army is *annihilated*.

That's a good one, but I'm pretty sure it was this:

From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
'What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.'
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.'
'O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.'

Clitorides? I love that guy!

Not as much as I love Gumbercules.

Gumby is a bitch. Pumjesticles is my personal hero

The only ghost cars I know of are the ones that forever evade Police Chief Wiggum, and maybe that taxi cab the rotting-corpse-guy drives in Ghostbusters.

Foreplay is the thing you people like before cuddling, right? Or is it the part after apologizing for not pulling out fast enough? I always forget where the foreplay goes.

Up your robot ass, that's where it goes.

I'm getting into 24-hour advance foreplay, if possible, so my beloved can wake up and say, "Tonight, we f*ck!"

Is that like Fuckin'

or f-f-f-fuckin'?

Yes, only more polite.

I am completely baffled by the idea that one can make it completely clear what the word one is saying is supposed to be - to the point that the only thing that can appear in the reader's mind is the word in question, as sure as (IF NOT MORE THAN) he had simply read the word himself - and it is considered censorship.

How will little nephew ever manage to take pictures of his junk in the hot tub now?

Not even a daguerrotype to be found in 16th century Wales (so pictures of his stern, unsmiling junk in a high collar are right out). Maybe we'll get some Little Nephew's Junk triptychs?

I am not sure what constituted popular art in 17th century Wales.

i have a hell of a time with the fucking century molly is from.

17th, maybe 18th, I think, because she died on a ship bound for America.

Maybe they were on their way to good Prince Madoc's colony?

It was established in a zine and, later, a comic that the good ship Gwynqeathe sank in 1676, taking with it Molly Sanders and the other members of the Sanders clan. So it's not that I'm flubbing my own speculative dates, I'm just fucking up.

OTHER EVENTS OF 1676
-Providence, Rhode Island is sacked during the course of King Phillip's War
-The Speed of Light is first quantitatively measured
-Some people of middling fame die; others, also of middling fame, are born to replace them

All in all, a lousy year.

B..b...but they measured the speed of light!

did that... did that train materialize out of nowhere?

I believe it's of the same family of cabooses as Lonis Edison's bed-and-breakfast endeavor. Possibly.

I could go the rest of my life without another weeaboo joke.

Hey guys. theguitarhero just said "weeaboo."

Oh fuck.

I didn't really care what this strange word meant, but went to look anyway, and now I really don't want to know why the cartoon people get spanked for saying this. The guy stopped doing the strip, apparently.

...the hell is this tricky commotion...?

The joke as I understand it is that 'Weeaboo' is first presented as a failing project that people management has put too many resources and man hours on, then it turns out that it is some office douche's idea of a fraternal prank, suggesting that they spend too much time on this dickery, getting no work done.

Right, but there's a second meaning to the term, which is a white or otherwise non-Asian person who is way too into Japanese culture, kind of like a counterpart to "wigger". I think this is completely unrelated to the comic, and I don't know which came first, but a lot of times people fuse the two meanings by quoting the line after someone references a particularly obscure anime or something of the sort, thus suggesting that the offending weaboo requires spanking.
