I wonder if he's going to get issued an '82 Subaru Brat...

It's a pity that the Brat is so ugly, because it's got a great name. It sounds like the vehicle you get if you give a Bedford Rascal lots of presents and attention.

There is no guarantee that Little Nephew is going to hell, so what car would he get in heaven?
invidious » neu 11 months ago
Well, if he had any sense of taste or style, I would suggest an Aston Martin DB9.

So, with that in mind, he's probably going to get a chromed-out 1999 Honda Civic with no muffler and blue neon runners on the undercarriage, and probably a bumper sticker that says "IF IT'S TOO LOUD, YOU'RE TOO OLD"
waddlerz » neu 11 months ago
Actually, I think he will probably end up with a 1976 El Camino with longhorns on the grill and a bumper sticker that says "Cowboy butts drive me nuts!"
farqussus » neu 11 months ago
He's going to HELL. Plus he's a kid, so it'll be a Schwinn with tassles on the handlebars and spokey-dokeys.
spectre » pro 11 months ago
He's old enough to work at Starbucks, and they have a 17 hiring policy now. So, he's old enough for a drivers license. That said, I think his Hell vehicle should be that crappy golf cart that Beef wiped out in.

I once met a hostess in a strip club who gave me her number. She rinsed her hands with instant sanitizer because the patrons and glasses were so disgusting she couldn't bear to feel the grossness on her mitts. This was an attractive girl, far more attractive than the so-called dancers. So I figured I would give it a shot. She worked two jobs.

Her other Job was at friendly's. In hindsight, if I were dead, and the only way out was to go to a friendly's, I would choose the afterlife.

This is the best strip I've seen in a while. Or maybe I just really love the flowchart format. I especially enjoyed the return of big breasted necklace girl. However, I must note that unwanted babies are far from being the main reason to use a condom, no matter what Tim Price from American Psycho says.

Ugh, you're probably one of those people that lectures about downloading music. He's not making money off the GQ sales - most likely he got a one-time commission that is in no way affected by this. And by the way, out of all the webcomics I read, this is the only one that constantly shoves requests for money in my face and whose content isn't 100% free. So, you know, get off your little high horse.

pirate » neu 11 months ago
It doesn't matter how much money and/or good will Onstad is or isn't making off of this particular comic. It's simply the fact that it's his fundamental right to limit in some ways the distribution of his own creation. Maybe he doesn't want a shitty 2nd gen copy of his work circulating. That certainly detracts from his product's value in the long run, even if in the immediate term he doesn't lose a dime from it.

Would it have been that hard to ask his permission to post that?

It's not that he probably cares too much one way or the other. It's not that one comic makes that much difference one way or the other. It's that in the long run, you have your head up your ass. It would be nice if you could, once in a while, pay a small-time artist a small something for their music, instead of downloading their shit for free. If you're poor, maybe you could save up and just give some money to every 10th artist. But if all you listen to is commercial top-40 shit that's distributed by the big labels, which judging by your aura is likely the case, then sure, fuck it, steal that shit for free. Any artist who doesn't have a 'donation' link on their web page apparently must not want any. right? That's my theory.

I just used pirate's posts for a science experiment! I know that I can only give five chubbies per page, but I don't know anything about lames or how many I can give. So I lamed all of his comments, and now I know that I can give more lames than chubbies!

I'm not going to, usually, becuase that's kind of a dick thing to do in general. But in this case, it was for Science.
achilleselbow » neu 11 months ago
Listen, I hate to tell you, but I don't think Onstad reads these forums, and he's happily married, so you can stop trying to suck his dick. No one's gonna pat you on the head for being as righteous as you think you are.

I hope you're still reading my 'aura' because right now it's shaped like a giant middle finger.

Did I miss something, or this guy complaining about the posting of the print-only comic the same one who posted it? Why is anyone replying to him?

In Shining Force 2 for the Sega Genesis, "aura" was a healing spell used by a melty-faced priest (vicar?) to mend the wounds of those on the playing spaces around him, though the real-life application of the word suggests a person who has the opposite effect.
A person's aura is only ever brought up to illustrate the shittiness they exude, as if the world were an elevator they strolled through, just round-the-clock farting.

I lecture about downloading music, and why shouldn't I?

Not to mention that I can't count a single time since I started at the beginning of the archives around 2 weeks ago that I have had any request for money shoved in my face. And, like the guy says above, Onstad's got a kid, you can't blame him for wanting to cash in on his talents.

i wait outside the door for what seems like forever and then the huge guy who led me here finally comes out and gestures with his head for me to follow him in. i become disoriented walking through the slaughterhouse. the beat becomes a listless rumble and all the people grinding against one another under the black light turns me into some sort of epileptic. the dance floor sits atop the killing floor with a glass bottom installed so you can see what happens on either.

guy in the back room lined with chicken coops tells me i'm hired. i dance monday, wednesday and friday and work the killing floor the other days with sunday off. the pay is the same either way. he sits down at a desk where a fluffy, yellow chick is squeaking annoyingly. this huge guy, probably six foot something and three hundred pounds, wipes blood from his hand with a dirty rag and lights a cigarette. he never asks my name. when i'm about to leave he lifts the chick to his face and begins to eat it like an apple. the next night i'm dancing and when i look down over my body i can see the death and it looks so good.

in a story of two sisters, this is the other.

last night i wrestled with a child who often resists injections. the task calls on the concentrated efforts of myself along with two orderlies... such strength from a child so weakened by a disease. pinned down, tears streaming from either side of his face, veins throbbing beneat a thin sheet of flesh, tunneling disease throughout the tiny frame... i administer the medication; the orderlies relent and move on, wiping their hands as if by doing so they limit the likelihood of infection. swabbing the tiny puncture with alcohol, reaching for a bandage, suddenly my hand is siezed. with one movement the boy snatches the syringe and has it buried in the meat of my forearm. no smile or laugh, no vengeful glare, he just stares off into the nothingness of the room as his blood leeches its way into mine. i remove the offending needle and in its place find a dull ache and probably much worse. the child sleeps.

This is so perfect. I was at the Spy Museum here in DC and they had a gift shop at the end of their little course, which had, among other things, the classic Che Guevara T-shirt.

I decided I was not going to debase myself as well as Che Guevara's memory by purchasing a shirt with his picture on it from an organization that was garnering capitalist profit from the corruption of everything the man stood for.

So I just bought a camouflage painter's cap with a red star on it instead.

Why emo kids always wanna dress like Communists?

I think that's the real reason they passed that law. I mean hell if you saw a bunch of skinny teenagers dressed up like John Adams you'd think this was a nation founded on the pubes of elves.

Dear deusoma,
Some people don't like to be addressed due to their avicons, but it is necessary in this instance.
The other night i went to Quizzo (similar, I understand, to the English "pub quiz") and the image burst into my mind at the right time: during a sort-of bonus shouting-out round, the man asked what caused a butterfly rash on the face centered on the nose and was an auto-immune disorder. A few moments passed, and no-one had answered. "Lupus!!", I cried.
I won a box of nearly expired fruit snacks and a decorative fruit. It is supposed to be a lemon, but it is not shaped correctly.
I ate 40% of the fruit snacks after I went home and burned the one.
So thanks, man. It was totally Lupus this time.

A friend of mine told me that the only inviolable law in comics was that "Bucky" stayed dead, referring to Captain America's former sidekick.
"An aphorism among comic book fans, known as the Bucky Clause, was that 'No one in comics stays dead except Bucky.'"
Okay, "comics police", whatever. Its like a bylaw against stomping on your own balls, not too tempting in the first place.
I guess Uncle Ben sort of has to stay dead too, though that's so built-in it seems to be a more unspoken thing.

The DivaCup
is this a good product? does it beat tampons?
I am thinking of buying a case of them for christmas gifts. (I found a supplier where I get a discount if I get a whole case.) But being a man I have no way to test it out, so I want a woman's opinion.
loneal » neu 11 months ago
ATTENTION: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU AIN'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT BLEEDING VAGINAS

Yeah, dude, they are the best! They're so much better than tampons and/or pads. You only have to change it twice a day (or I only have to change it twice a day, but I have a pretty light flow), and you don't have to worry about Toxic Shock Syndrome, whereas if you leave a tampon in for more than six hours, you have to start worrying about dying. Also, all the mainstream tampons have chemicals in them, which can be bad for some women. DivaCups are just silicone, so they don't mess you up at all. They are also much more comfortable than having a pad chafing up your skin all the time. And they are much better for the environment, because one cup lasts you literally like twenty years, and you don't have to fill up landfills with be-chemicaled tampons/pads.

However, there are two major caveats. One is that you have to be comfortable with your cunt. If you're used to tampons with applicators, it's a little weird at first, but ultimately pretty rewarding. Two is that it really takes three or four cycles to get used to, and I think a lot of people give up during that time. It can really be a bit stressful until you get the hang of it (my bathroom ended up looking like a murder scene more than once), but once you get the hang of it, it is really just the best ever.

thanks for the good info Loneal! And yeah, I can't see not being comfortable with one's cunt. I mean, if a cunt is anything like a penis, I mean, you know, I'm all over my penis like minimum once a day if not more. I can't imagine not being all over my cunt if I had a cunt. That would be the most awesome thing to have a cunt. Man I would get all sorts of mirrors and video cameras just to get a better view. and damn, that ain't even including the arthroscopic possibilities!

nice-on-water » neu 11 months ago
I respectfully and unnecessarily disagree. It's a big, chunky, muzzle-loading pistol, one that doesn't mince words/sound effects. KOODGE is blunt, distorted, and chaotic, nothing like the sharp CRACK or POW or BANG of a modern-day rifle. It's exactly what a cheap, hastily-loaded cartridge rammed down and then awkwardly forced out of a non-rifled muzzle should sound like as it just barely pierces someone's chest. It's the sound of shooting someone with a weapon that has character.

Okay so I am a girl and I like the Mighty Boosh fine (I am British as I have mentioned before) and do not really want to do the sex with either of them, so I reckon they are both pretty funny. But, and I don't want to get all pishy on octafish here or anything, but I think it is sort of lame if a person can get mad props just pretty much for posting a picture of a person who is funny (not actually pictured being funny) on the internetbar for no reason. You know, like if we all just posted pictures of people who are funny and then had a big circle jerk about it, and that was assetbar, I kind of feel like that would not be cool?

On the other hand, that Batman slapping Robin picture up there is fuckin' genius, its 80 chubs are kind of well earned.

Its okay aliiis, you can get pishy if you want, I don't take it personally. I was going for more a visual pun there, rather than a pic of someone funny.

I just wanted a Noel, any Noel, it could have been Coward, Gallagher, or Edmonds (Mr Blobby does anyone else remember this crime?) Fielding is the Noel I got at random. I smiled when I saw him in my image search.

I actually agree, I did a image search for Noel expecting to find a paparazzi photo of a drunken Noel Gallagher, but to my delight instead of that I got a lot Xmas related stuff (duh should have thought of that) and Noel Fielding. Basically it was riffing on the above mis-quote "it is now Charley's bell has finally knolled." Which as far as I can tell means Charley's bell has mountain-topped.

I don't like a lot of the stuff he's done lately, but in Brendan Fraser's defense, I feel compelled to mention Encino Man and Airheads. He's not a horrible man, he has made some bad choices, but one day he may see the light and return to his former glory.
theguitarhero » neu 11 months ago
I really doubt it. Encino Man, Blast From The Past, and Airheads are good, but much like Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Adam Sandler, he looked the vortex straight in the eyes AND WENT MAD.

When my brother was younger, my mom exhorted him to favor George of the Jungle above other movies, her logic being that if she was going to have to watch the same inane kids' movie over and over, she at least wanted to get to see mostly-naked Brendan Fraser.

Some people feel this is a terrible thing to happen to Little Nephew. I believe it to be a great career move. Like most hip-hop artists, this is sure to help Little Nephews record sales.

You're revealing knowledge that must have come from your father's (or grandfather's) collection of naughty illustrations. I'm impressed. I love those old paintings. They're so much more suggestive that today's cake fart videos.

I'm afraid my knowledge comes from the Internet. This is what I gleaned about sex from listening to my dad: EW GROSS THEY'RE KISSING LEAVE THE ROOM AND DON'T THINK ABOUT GAY STUFF YOU'LL GO TO HELL

Recently a particularly phobic reaction of his to some mildly sexual something or other prompted me to say, "Um, Dad, you have had sex, right?"

"Three times: once for you, once for your sister, and once for your brother." (Apparently the baby my mom miscarried was the spawn of adultery.)

One does sometimes feel that the internet has become the stadium for one giant competition as to who can be turned on by the most obscure things. 'I'll see your lactating dragon and raise you a man being turned into a dolphin' say the main perverts of the internet. If things continue to go this way the human race will stop connecting arousal with the sexual act altogether, and just spend their time masturbating to a video of a dog chasing a very tall clown down the street.

I used to like a girl who was good at Smash Brothers but she passed me over for a friend of mine.

The thing about girls who are good at Smash Brothers is that they have the pick of the boys who are good at f-f-f-f-fuckin'.
