Thanks

Manflesh, be my man-wife.

If if the bbcode hadn't fucked you at least once in that post, you'd either have been very lucky or possessing god-like assetbar powers.
foea » neu 4 months ago
That is so freakin' sweet of you. Never let it be said that Dr Manflesh is not sweet.

I used to think that when your dreams started to get more vivid than your life, it meant you were going nuts. Now I'm just convinced it means your brain is trying to tell you something really important, almost invariably about yourself. Only you can know what this is though. Sharing your dreams with your friends is ultimately pointless, though it can be a fun way of annoying your friends.
geysershitdick » neu 4 months ago
That is weird that you replied to a pretty clever reference with a less-clever version of the same reference.
king_duncan » pro 4 months ago
My friends and I call doing that "Joke Boating"; he missed the boat on the first reference and had to get his own joke in there.
johnnyrocker » neu 4 months ago
What if, instead of trying to be funny, MC_white was trying to be helpful? Maybe he was just explaining it for the people who hadn't read that strip.
Thanks Mc_white, but we can take it from here.
dangelder » neu 4 months ago
That just isn't done. It leads to endless heirarchies of posts clogging the tubes, man.
lastpolarbear » neu 4 months ago
I've noticed that any time someone makes a "CHING CHONG WING WONG" reference, it gets lamed out of existence - most likely by people who missed that strip and think the comment is racist. Maybe MC_white is just trying to prevent unnecessary laming.
davey-boy » neu 4 months ago
Truth be told, there are not enough lames around for every malicious and poorly thought out post for that to happen. Hell, tsrts13 still has posts visible and bothering me.
biff » neu 4 months ago
His stupid?
hawaiian_robot » neu 4 months ago
Yeah, don't think you're in danger of that, sport.
retinarow » neu 4 months ago
Chubbied for Billy Madison reference. That's kicking it old school (grade school?)
hellofyellin » neu 4 months ago
mc_white? More like BORE-OPHYLL!

and just in case you're curious, i am an english major, which means i do know the difference between your and you're, and my incorrect usage of the word was intentional.
boredom_man » neu 4 months ago
Christ, if English majors could be relied upon to know the difference between your and you're, what the fuck would I do for a living?
dovey » neu 4 months ago
Just because it was intentional doesn't make it any less retarded.
dougthehead » neu 4 months ago
More likely it's because every time someone mentions Chinese people, or Chinese culture, or Chinese language, or Chinese restaurants, or China dishware, or porn involving Chinese people, or anything that begins with the letters C-H-I, someone immediately posts CHING CHONG WING WONG like it's this really clever thing they just thought of without any help from anyone else ever. It was great the first 500 or so times to quote it directly, but by now you should have some sense of awareness in your post that this has been done before. Falseprophet had this in his, and currently has 60 chubbies to 5 lames. mc_white's post did not have this, and currently has 4 chubbies to 44 lames. The people have spoken: use CHING CHONG WING WONG responsibly.
ford » neu 4 months ago
What'd be funny/shitty is if he was honestly trying to help in this manner, and now has like 45 lames for his trouble
wae » neu 4 months ago
Jokes? I get jokes!
envika » neu 4 months ago
If you're gonna make the obvious unnecessary reference, you could at least get Blister's manner of speaking right:

"NO WAY THAT SHIT IS INSANE / IT'S ALL, CHING CHONG WING WONG"

No chubby for effort this time.

what about those of us who want to wang chung?
flazisismuss » neu 4 months ago
When do you think it might be a good time to be wanging chung? I think tonight is the answer.
tekende » pro 4 months ago
And it is probably best that everyone participate in the wanging of chung tonight.
autrepoupee » neu 4 months ago
tragically, no one in the band Wang Chung had sex that night.
falseprophet » neu 4 months ago
There were no survivors.
spectre » pro 4 months ago
Or ever. Worst . . . Eighties Band . . . af all.
(Oops, wait, I forgot Kajagoogoo (sp?))
falseprophet » pro 4 months ago
The gesture Ahmadinejad is making makes your avatar perfect for the statement you have made.

But I thought that Mahddy said there was no wang chung in Iran?
scraggg » neu 4 months ago
The wang chung is all hangin' ten.
falseprophet » pro 4 months ago
That is the most offensive comment you could have possibly made.

Inviso-chubby.
gormster » neu 4 months ago
I don't get it. How?
BTW, according to a website listing cruising locations, there are DEFINITELY gays in Iran.
falseprophet » neu 4 months ago
The joke is that in Iran, the way they make it so that there are no gays in Iran is that they hang you for being gay.
scraggg » neu 4 months ago
It's similar to one of those "In Soviet Russia" jokes, except that these jokes all end with you being promptly executed.
finish_him » pro 4 months ago
...IN FUNDAMENTALIST IRAN, ASSHOLES ATTACK HOMOSEXUALS!
lawbot » neu 4 months ago
It's also based on a mistranslation of something Ahmedinejad once said: He said that homosexuality isn't thing in Iran, meaning that you can't "be gay" there in the western sense (at least in the eyes of others), you have to be a dude who likes bumsex with other dudes.* This is the only reasonable translation of what he said, because he knows how many people have been hanged for mansex.

It is unnecessary to post the number of gay dudes who do not like bumsex, or to point out that iran murders lesbians as well. Everyone knows these things.
skoora » neu 4 months ago
This comment got 3 lames. That means there are at least 3 people who read Achewood, but don't have a sense of humor.

oh fuck bbcode in it's wing-wong ass

Don't cry. Leet Key, of course, decoded it handily into the appropriate Chinese characters.

biff » neu 4 months ago
Leet Key and what else?

I installed the addon, check all the different View possibilities, and it is the same gobbledygook.

What else do I need to do?

BBcode fuck-ups make national emblems very sad.
cpnglxynchos » neu 4 months ago
especially 8-bit versions.

though it was the PS2 that had an emotion chip inside.
envika » neu 4 months ago
(This is one of those situations where the avatar fits the comment perfectly)
sncether » neu 4 months ago
Whoa! That was a good one!

BBCode fuck-ups are like assetbar m-80s.
spinynorman » neu 4 months ago
I can kind of tell you're new here, but heads up, asset bar can's handle a plus sign, let along Mandarin.

I mean, shit.
spinynorman » neu 4 months ago
Hot damn, I fucked that up a hell of a lot

What was this supposed to be?

WHAT WERE YOU
hoboninja » neu 4 months ago
Hell of yes.
gormster » neu 4 months ago
People lame this because it's racist but chubby it because it's true.

Actually, it's not racist. There are a lot of Chinese people at most casinos. It's not a generalisation, it's a fact. (A generalisation would be "All Chinese people love to gamble and are at casinos constantly.")
catgrl131 » neu 4 months ago
Oh, what, so now ALL casinos have to have Chinese people?

That, sir, is casinist!
falseprophet » pro 4 months ago
Nether-chubby.
gormster » neu 4 months ago
Did I say "all"? No, I said "most".

But chubbies for "casinist".
flazisismuss » neu 4 months ago
All casinos on the west coast have lots of Chinese people. It is a verifiable fact. It is also a deep spiritual connection that I share with the Chinese people, a love of drinking poorly made Rusty Nails while losing money to either the Indians (if in California) or the mob (if in Nevada).

and of course Teodore isn't wearing any pants.

He has "assisted living center" chest, too.

Oh dang, yeah he does. Man boobs all kinds of sagging there T.

oh my GOD your avatar is MOVING
numberkillinger » neu 4 months ago
it is terrifying
terrainasaur » neu 4 months ago
i was moved too.
gormster » neu 4 months ago
Terrifying non sequitur followed by hilarious pun: the pinnacle of modern comedy!

(I don't think I know how to sound genuine on the Internet anymore because I am honestly laughing. Someone, please - stop this.)
myrrdisparo » neu 4 months ago
I love how on the Internet, you have to post a disclaimer every time you are NOT being ironic.
Personally, I blame the hipsters
harveymersault » neu 4 months ago
...ironically?
wae » neu 4 months ago
The problem is, I can't tell whether the comment is wearing skinny jeans and a fancy haircut designed to not look like a haircut.
laserblade » neu 4 months ago
Hipster walks into a bar. He sez "this place sucks, it's full of hipsters."
flazisismuss » neu 4 months ago
I am old enough to remember the birth of the Age of Irony. It actually had nothing to do with the internet and was more of a spontaneous phenomena. Hipsters are not the fathers of it, more like its offal. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. I think irony was born from the ashes of The Cosby Show. A kid could learn all sorts of shit from that show.
opprobrium » neu 4 months ago
it's suffering from Michael J. Fox disease.
maximus » neu 4 months ago
I think that's capsular contracture.
woodenteeth » neu 4 months ago
and it kinda looks like a little Manga frog there in the last panel.

little Manga frog just chillin on T's stomach.
tsrts13 » neu 4 months ago
The best part is that he walked into the living room, sat down, and then took off his pants. It's not like he just got up naked and went to watch TV; he made a conscious decision to take his pants off while watching TV.
lexsenthur » neu 4 months ago
This must be something you can only understand if you either:
a)have no sense of shame
b)live by yourself

donward2 » neu 4 months ago
d.) just feel like being nude.

E) Jerkin' it to an odd fetish until Beef walks in
wittyname » neu 4 months ago
The implication that T was jerking it to a dog being fired into outer space fills be me fear, terror and hatred.
iidebaser » pro 4 months ago
you probably wouldn't much like gravity's rainbow, then.
spinynorman » neu 4 months ago
There are probably more than a few reasons why most people wouldn't like Gravity's Rainbow.
falseprophet » pro 4 months ago
Yeah. About 768 reasons.

Note: That is the number of pages my edition of Gravity's Rainbowhas. Get it?
moorman » neu 4 months ago
don't be dissing pynchon, dawgs, hella bad judgment. good point, iidebaser. philippe could have a smashing day on board the chums of chance's airship, for sure
helmstreet » neu 4 months ago
So, to bring it all back. While Teodor was jerkin it to a odd fetish, do you think he was singing "the penis he thought was his own" from sed Novella?
iidebaser » neu 4 months ago
he has it all worked out for faggotstyle guitar, I'm sure.
hereward » neu 4 months ago
Reading Gravity's Rainbow is like reading a massive equation by Einstein, which nearly makes sense, except he's put all the way through this one symbol, and by purpose or mistake the key to that symbol is 1 1 = 5, and everything is just made ridiculous!
hereward » neu 4 months ago
1 plus 1.
helmstreet » neu 4 months ago
I wonder if it's not more like an equation that makes you question the validity of =
talix18 » neu 4 months ago
E.1) Jerkin' it to an odd fetish knowing Beef was walking in.
E.1.1) Jerkin' it to an odd fetish because Beef was walking in.

Oh, no no! Rest assured, I myself live a pantless lifestyle. 'Tis truly the prime style of life!
