little-known fact: what roast beef says is terrific but it is also of supreme humorous importance that pat says "I guess friends DON'T change" and that even without what beef said this would easily be a 4.3

Did anyone see The Last King Of Scotland? There's a point in it when Idi Amin is going off and calling his enemy a "silly" man, and it just... what I'm saying is that I think Forest Whitaker based his Oscar winning performance off of a cartoon cat in a thong.

To break up and enhance this conondrum, I will now cite a spam mail I got. I think you will discover it to be extraneously verbose, yet stupefyingly incomprehensible.
Anatrim - The latest and most fascinating product for over-weight people available - As you could see on ABC.
Do you recall all the times when you asked yourself to do any thing for being saved from this fastly growing pounds of fat? Happily, now no great price is to be paid. With Anatrim, the earth-shaking weight-reducing medley, you can get healthier lifestyle and a really slender figure. Just look at what our customers state!
"It's unbearably difficult to acknowledge it but I was an awful food addict. I devoured all this garbige and just could not stop. This ruinous passion finished after I started course with Anatrim! Holy God, my appetite abated, mood increased and I became the happiest person 24 pounds in 2.2 months. I can tell you now I turned to the happiest person!"
Amelia B., Chicago
"I had weight problems since I was a boy. You can't fancy how I abhorred being derided at school. I hated the weight and I abhorred even myself. After trying many different remedies I heard about Anatrim. This stuff literally dragged me out of this horror! Lots of thanks to you, fellows."
Rikky Martin, Chicago
You heard him, people! From the keyboard of Rikky Martin, this medication will literally drag you out of obesity! Holy God!

Out of curiosity, I checked out The Cure on Wikipedia. Both to my relief and regret, Achewood was not mentioned in the "The Cure in Popular Culture" section.

Which word of Ray's do you emphasize in panel 3? I emphasize both instances of "silly."
"But Pat, the Cure is SILLY. It is SILLY to like the cure."
tekende » pro1 years ago
"The Cure" and "Wish" notwithstanding, I like the Cure. They were a good pop band, really. Although their earlier work, particularly the first album, was most certainly best.
idsyen » pro8 months ago
The key to enjoying the Cure is to view the songs as genre exercises rather than taking the lyrics seriously. Love the silliness, and you can enjoy some killer songs.
libelandslander » con5 months ago
I was going to say something to the effect of "I think it is okay to like the Cure as long as you realize they are silly" but I think I prefer the way you said it.
rowboat » pro1 years ago
I've steered clear of them for most of my life, really without even trying. Around the people I grew up with, it was easy. They spit on The Cure. It just Wasn't To Be Played in our circles, and that was that. I didn't ask questions, mainly because I'd seen pictures of Robert Smith. That kinda made me less than curious. I have peripherally heard a few songs that didn't seem too bad. Regardless of how or why I've never been a fan, I feel somehow vindicated now. I have so many reasons to thank these cats.

every webcomic i've ever read mentions the Cure at least once. Hell, that's how i found xkcd and what led me to most others. Here's the math...
The Cure= sack of awesome flying puppies of awesomeness
webcomics= a good time had by all
ergo: The Cure webcomics = irrefutable proof of a just and merciful god.
(Come on, even when they 'suck' like in Wish, they're still better than most)

I once spent some time pretending to like The Cure to appease a new girlfriend. Slowly, I pushed her towards liking something less silly like The Smiths.
My one regret is that when we finally broke up, I didn't yell after her "And I never liked the Cure anyway! It is silly to like the Cure!"

I just KNOW that some day in the future, someone will use that perfect sass line in total truthfulness.
They don't NEED to be on the moon, just 239000 miles from The Cure (who ideally would still exist at that point in time, or some other terrible band will have to be substituted in)
