Some things you are just supposed to think, not say.
macdaddyw » neu2 years ago
Those are usually the things that are hardest NOT to say. Then you slip and end up like Beef in panel 11 thinking "FUCK, did I just say that?"
deusoma » pro1 years ago
When I'm with friends, I like to wait for lulls in the conversation and then go "Oh fuck, did I say that out loud?!"
After they say no, I respond "Oh thank God! You guys would have killed me!"
missbee » neu1 years ago
Man whycome none of my friends are as fun-sounding as half of assetbar posters?
This...I really want to try this.
dasilodavi » neu1 years ago
You have decent enough friends it seems. Mine wouldn't lie to me. They would be all, "Yes, you totally said it, what are you, some kind of an idiot?"
woodenteeth » neu1 years ago
I would have to disaggree. Beef just lacks conviction. I'm a dude who's been to a few gyms. Gym dudes WANT to hear this kinda thing. Even if it is a little gauche. You ask 'em what reps etc. they do to get there and you watch them go off on a rant. Beef don't belong 'cause he don't have the stranger-to-stranger sass.

Leo's reaction in the next strip seems to refute your thesis.
woodenteeth » neu1 years ago
yes. i read through the arc the next day. i would make a claim that my thoughts were more applicable to real life than comic cats but that would be kinda pointless. I was wrong.
mattylite » neu1 years ago
Whoa, those last three words. Chubbied for those last three words. Not often seen on these boards, in that order.
woodenteeth » neu1 years ago
"Was I wrong?" would be an order far more ambiguous and far more dickishly forum like.

It reminds me of a palindrome I once heard, anyway. And for that it can't be too bad.
To wit: I madam, I made radio. So I dared, am I mad? am I?
I'd like to cite this to Spider Robinson, speaking as Nikola Tesla, in Callahan's Legacy, but I don't know my formatting. Worth a read.

tragicone » neu1 years ago
no, you were right. I go to the gym. I would love to be asked how i got to where I did.
woodenteeth » neu9 months ago
Red, striated, with no waist or chest and cycloptic vision?
tragicone » neu9 months ago
yeh, but look at dem thighs!
epicurus » neu2 years ago
I love this strip so much. The way Beef does not belong there, and all it takes is a short while before he reveals that he cannot breathe the atmosphere in the gym. If it were not the thighs comment it would have been something else.
dovey » neu2 years ago
Is this the strip with the most awkward pause panels?

Note the silhouette behind Leo in panel 5. Remind you of anyone?
dropkickpikachu » pro2 years ago
My mind. It is blown.

Yeah no question that's Showbiz. I wonder if the speaker company is still on his ass.
alphagator » neu2 years ago
not showbiz, but Mantonio from the Mile-High Club arc
twoheadedboy » pro11 months ago
Yeah I was just reading these comments to see who else noticed the Showbiz shadow there. That's one of the stranger things I've seen in Achewood.

Man, that drive home must have been hella awkward. Ray furious while poor old Beef tryin' to figuire out what he messed up.
william » neu2 years ago
Alt Text: Beef doesn't know the code at that place. He has committed a Dudes' Mutiny.
i_love_kate » neu2 years ago
Mutiny?
deusoma » neu2 years ago
I also question the use of the word in these circumstances.

Anderian, cailetshadow, your actions have been noted and news of them will be slipped underhanded to the angel who decides your worthiness on the Day of Judgment.
cpnglxynchos » neu1 years ago
maybe it is said 'cos it is in a similar vein of conversation which could possibly be something a lady would say to another one, opening opportunity for other ladies to chime in with compliments while the original commenter fades into the background.
cpnglxynchos » neu1 years ago
dang. commenters fading into the background is hell of a good concept for messageboards as thus.
yeeeah.
centipede_damascus » pro2 years ago
It could have been a thing but Roast Beef just don't got no sense of etiquette.
deancain29 » neu2 years ago
why is there a shadow of Showbiz in panel 5?
phoenixultima » neu2 years ago
Rockford-Fosgate won't pay itself off, dude.
deimosrising » neu2 years ago
Why is there a shadow of my post 5 posts below my post
riazm » neu2 years ago
I took up golf so that I could make small talk like this.
henrythecad » neu2 years ago
I feel sorry for beef. A man was misplaced, and in the end, things were said.
doomsdaybadger » neu2 years ago
This is, and whill always be my favorite achewood strip.
tagrineth » pro2 years ago
People from Circumstances don't know the best etiquette...

The out-of-speech-bubble laughter just doesn't do it for me. It's like laughter is resonating from their skulls as they converse.
norsef » neu1 years ago
I think its a hollow polite laugh. It happens all the time when two people who don't really know each other meet and make jokes.

Leo's thighs are very much the elephant(s) in the room.
Yes they are rockin'; that much is self-evident. Pointing this out just makes everything bad for everyone.
