Technically, what he said was correct English: Whenever you find yourself in one of those situations, then Jesus asks himself what he would do in that situation. You know, hypothetically.

Okay, I see what you mean. Kind of like Jesus is preparing himself for when he would be in the situation I'm in. I guess I was too quick to correct the son of God. My bad.

I hear Ace of Base is doing a reunion tour.
soticoto » con 2 years ago
... Damn you.
Ace of Base was something I introduced my first girlfriend to... then she dumped me and I was still stuck living with her for the next month... and she played that the whole time.

Ace of Base now reminds me of all sorts of terrible and forgotten aspects of my past that I'd rather not be reminded of.

Damn. You.

I sing that damned crap whenever I'm playing Guild Wars and running through the Southern Shiverpeaks... and come across a mob of those bloody giants and their stomping tendencies.

What's clever about taking a popular euphemism for female genitalia and a popular euphemism for feminine hygiene products and putting them together?

I will sass you. I'm going to get it wrong on purpose from now on. No doubt a lameass will crap out multiple lames on my anonymized internet persona for every infraction (not that I'd name names), but will sass you nonetheless. I'll start now:

You make us use BBCode because writing a dog's code is above your grade level.

Your avatar is the knife they used to cut off the balls you'd need to create a friendlier GUI.

We have to go to [url=http://www.ohnorobot.com/index.pl?comic=636&s=parks like a bitch&search=Find]OhNoRobot [/url] to find the strips we want to link to because you have no search function.

Other messageboards see your rabid users and think, "Man, I could never inspire rabid users like that messageboard." Then they read these complaints about your interface and say, "Huh, guess that was no messageboard at all, just a BBCode storefront."

Your methods for sorting the comments in our Inbox and Sent folders are so inadequately explained.

Is ugliest code, written in MS Word 3.0.
nbgreene » neu 2 years ago
lateadopter, I would like to add the following rebuttal to your REDICULOUS claim. Stating that I gave you "multiple lames" for your failure to properly BBCode is an OUTRAGEOUS lie. Pretending that I did so is just a waste of EVERYONE'S time. If I did lame you, it was probably because I did not enjoy the content of your message.

I'm not going to lame you yet, but I would be completely within my rights to do so.

'Virgin Hare' sounds like a lovely hair-nourishing ingredient, but unfortunately it's chemically recovered meat and offal, rather than the finer cuts, that go into the shampoo.

The production of "virgin" hare actually refers to how the hare was pressed. Virgin hare should have a somewhat lighter taste than Extra-virgin hare, but still maintains good body and acidity.

They must also have 'Shampoo Exquisite en Male unbeknownst of beau's choice'. Quite the rage.

On the other hand kudos to roast beef to care enough to have stepped in the right aisle at least. I think he himself must be using car wash from the garage he stays in. Poor soul.

What a coincidence, I just got back from buying coconut-scented shampoo and green apple-scented conditioner.

Calling her back would be too logical a thing to do in an achewood moment. I think the strip would fall flat the moment beef thinks of calling her back. It just wont do. Sacrilege!
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
Well, yeah, I realise the lack of comedic value in:
Panel 1: "Sure I'll pick up some shampoo what kind do-"
Panel 2: "Dang the signal cut out"
Panel 3: "That's ok I'll just wait and move around a bit until the signal's back"
Panel 4: *RB moves around a bit and waits*
Panel 5: "Oh cool there we go"
Panel 6: "Hey babe what were you saying
"Phrygian storm for shampoo and Locrian mist for conditioner
Well ok here we go"
Panel 7: *RB buys them without incident, the cashier doesn't do anything of merit*

That's not something I'd read. Hell, it was boring just writing it. And it's disturbing how many other webcomics are not far off this storyline. Go on, you know the ones.
dovey » neu 2 years ago
You just used musical mode names for Shampoo and Conditioner brands. Good doctor, I chubby thee.

Liiike...'Questionable Content'? But the last panel would be:
Douche 1: I wonder what kind of shampoo that new stoner-rock indie-band 'Man Man' uses?
Douche 2: Probably...HERBAL essences! Heyoh!

Seriously, fuck Questionable Content.
katal » pro 2 years ago
ha! While reading this thread, Questionable Content was the first strip that came to mind that actually would do a mini-arc about shopping for shampoo without incident.
aperson » neu 2 years ago
There is probably a web cartoon called "Shopping for Shampoo Without Incident".
hayzeus » neu 2 years ago
In the Questionable Content (aka: Dawson's Geek) Shampoo arc several middle-class youngster ladies have soliloquys about their low-self esteem and the unfairness of life. One is sarcastic and it is hilarious. Then little robots turn up who are just wacky as the dickens.
johnnyc » pro 2 years ago
At some point Spencer Krug is referenced.
illuminatedwax » neu 2 years ago
Hell, QC just ran a comic about treadmilling without incident: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=999
killerlimpet » neu 2 years ago
If treadmills are presented without the "treadmill flinging character backwards" gag, they are necessarily not funny.
nillsner » neu 2 years ago
I'd like to thank everyone for turning me on to this horrible web comic Questionable Content. Does anyone else enjoy wasting huge amounts of time on bad comics?
miku224 » neu 2 years ago
Oh! Me, man! ME.
coldfrog » neu 2 years ago
That may have been the least questionable content I've seen in a comic, except for the part where I asked myself why I actually read it.

I once tried getting into QC. Then one day I realised that I hadn't looked at it for a month and hadn't actually noticed.

It's not so much that the activities are poorly conveyed as that there are no activities to convey.
fantomeciel » neu 2 years ago
Oh man, that is probably the greatest representation of Questionable Content ever. I have a friend who follows that strip like I follow Achewood. I feel really bad for him.

Also: Man Man rules.
buttermoths » pro 2 years ago
Yes indeed, Man Man rules. I guess it's not really stoner rock per se, but it's rock played by stoners, and so the hi-larious pun works. Also, they played the 'Weeds' theme song a couple of weeks ago (and I think all the other songs in that episode was from their 'Six Demong Bag' album).
clembot » neu 2 years ago
seriously
buttermoths » neu 2 years ago
Oh yes, I kid you not.
I think it was episode 8 or 9, season 3. It started out with a funeral, I think, and ended with the protagonist getting her boob trapped in a mammography-machine, while "Engrish Bwudd" played in the background.
plusminus » pro 2 years ago
Haha, oh man, five years of reading Achewood and a few months of trolling Assetbar and what finally gets me to register for any kind of discussion is a thread bashing Questionable Content. People consistantly seem to love that comic and all I ever think when I see it is "it is like someone is doing mediocre illustrations of uneventful livejournal posts."
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
Funny thing here is that I inadvertently started this whole thing off, when Questionable Content (which, ironically, has very little content that could be described as "questionable," a fact not lost on the author) is the webcomic that got me into webcomics in the first place. And I still read it, even though it hasn't made me laugh in a while, has always had consistent indie rock references that I don't get or care about, and I haven't bought a shirt there either (unlike, say, Dr. McNinja). I do like the artwork, though.

Yes, I am prepared to suffer the mob wrath of Acheworld. But know in your hearts, that there are more like me. Know, and fear...
woodenteeth » neu 2 years ago
Fear not Skradley, for I am amoungst them. QC is like some very, very mild form of smack. It only steals a minute of my day, yet I go back to keep up. I suspect it's the innocence of it all, in the face of a indy-rock culture of irony. It's like listening to a visual/text version of commercial radio once in a while.
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
That's Doctor Skradley to you.
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
Yeah, that was pretty lame now that I think about it.

Meanwhile, "very, very mild form of smack" is an excellent description.
clockworkorange » neu 2 years ago
It was the comic that got me into webcomics as well, and there's still a part of me that holds a fondness for it. There's also a part of me that thinks that other part is a total pussy. I suppose that's the part that likes achewood.
buttermoths » neu 2 years ago
As long as we are all confessing (and this is extra hard for me, seeing as I was the one who brought QC up in the first place), I started reading Questionable Content at about the same time I got into Dinosaur Comics, Dr. McNinja and Achewood. I stopped after I realized nothing was ever going to happen, but the strip has a clever way of fooling you into thinking that some drama and/or conflict (or even a joke!) is right around the corner. Just...one...more...strip...
And for an even more shameful confession, I actually like a lot of the bands referenced in the comic. If I could 'lame' myself, I would...
killerlimpet » neu 2 years ago
I still occaisonally catch up on QC. Please lame me.
woodenteeth » neu 2 years ago
Wow. I lamed you. Your plea was like someone begging for euthanasia. Considering my above comments this is hell of ironies.
buttermoths » pro 2 years ago
4, 5...YES. Only one more confession to go, then there will be 6 of us and we can all go dance in the school library to Karla DeVito's "We Are Not Alone".
The halftime entertainment will be kissing Molly Ringwald on the titties.
ttagxamm » neu 2 years ago
Oh hell, I confess; I read it, and enjoy it in a mild sort of way. Other confessions: sometimes I like frozen pizza, and I enjoy jelly on my omelettes.
plusminus » neu 2 years ago
Honestly, I don't care what comics other people want to read, and I'm a bit regretful that my first post here has me coming off like an elitist jerkbag. But the thing is, this is the first time anywhere on the Internet I've seen more than one person in the same place with a dislike for QC. It is immensely popular, and whatever appeal it has is completely lost on me, much like women's shampoo to Roast Beef.

Also: There's no reason to suspect that Beef didn't call Molly right after he saw the Brookingham bath products. He probably assumed, when the phone cut out, that picking up shampoo would be an easy task with no need to call her back.

More also: Holy hell did I have to wait a long time before I could post this reply. Presumably this passes after I'm not a brand new member... I understand it's for anti-spam and all, but I didn't even need to confirm an email or even enter a captcha I mean come on!

riazm » neu 2 years ago
What's not mentioned is that the Stolen Moment results in an illegitimate child, and though the marriage sanctifies you in the name of god, the squire's low standing causes you to be ostracised from the polite society of Brookingham. The wedding is the last time your parents ever acknowledge you are their daughter.
aperson » neu 2 years ago
It's the polar opposite of 'no tears' shampoo.
straw » neu 2 years ago
But at least with Stolen Moment sex is involved somewhere wheras No Tears usually just involves the sometime unplanned results of sex.
thatcrazycommie » neu 2 years ago
So, can you use Hyacinth and Aegean Rain shampoo with Wedding at Brookingham Castle conditioner? These things are important to consider.

okay so I was at a walgreens this one time and they were selling -- no joke -- a conditioner whose special ingredient was "placenta". I thought "that's odd maybe that word means something other than what I thought it meant" so I checked the ingredients and no, the word means exactly what I thought it meant. Apparently from some animal, I think it was a pig. All I could think was "people put that on their heads?"
spectre » neu 2 years ago
Wait a minute, I'm suspicious -- lamb placenta was part of Martin Sheen's "special diet" when he and Jane Curtain did the "Martin Sheen" brand hair conditioner skit on SNL back in 1979 -- the one where he spits in her hair. Oh, doggie am I carbon-dating myself or what; I am like the most elderly of Achewood fans.

Is there nobody else willing to admit the less-than-impeccable taste they might have had in the mid-90's? Fine then, I walk this solemn path alone.
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
I am willing to admit to being a Backyard Wrestler around '99-'01, and still having the tapes and some blood stained clothes, but I deny any affiliation to either gender-swapping anime or BritPop.

Ahh, Backyard Wrestling... the Lesser Outdoor Fight.

That's actually kind of awesome. Compared to my having been a Shampoo-listening Ranma-watcher, at least.

Mid-90's. Hmm. Well, my hair looked something like this:[IMGS OFF] and I ranked the Red Hot Chili Peppers as very near the pinnacle of rad. So, yeah - we all have our baggage.

Y'all not ya'll. The apostrophe must be properly placed in order to imply the correct southern drawl. . . or some such nonsense as that.
norrin » neu 2 years ago
I thought you were getting all gramatical, pointing out that it should go where the extra letters are taken out (in this case, where "ou" in "you" is missing.)

Instead you are pointing out the correct way to speak with an accent. Upgrade?
coolbreeze3 » neu 2 years ago
It is true that it should go where the extra letters are taken out. I was mainly just being ridiculous because that is how I am. Let me stop now while I still have. . . nothing.

What put him over the edge was the descriptive copy on the bottle of Shampoo of Solomon: "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead SoS 4:1-3, KJV

So uh Molly that kiwi and plantains reformation shampoo was upwards of seven dollars so I just had the guy who cleans the produce aisle wring out his mop into a bottle of Johnson's & Johnson's here you go.

So, we have a strip that is a vehicle for funny shampoo names. Now, sure, it's genius, as these are the sort of shampoos that only Roast Beef would come across, but what are we to think of the fact that these shampoos have been firmly contextualized in a Dallas/Knot's Landing oeuvre?

Any shampoo/conditioner set that's named after a costume gothic is bound to make a lady feel sexy. It's just science.

I do not know of a store with a women's hair care section. This would imply that there is a men's hair care section, rather than men's hair care being a marginalised fraction of the generic hair care section as it is in real life.
norrin » neu 2 years ago
Then you have not been to many stores. There is often a women's hair care section and then men's struff is all together- hair care, aftershave, deoderant, etc.

Pharmacy Stores have a separate aisles for each of:

- Women's hair care
- Women's hair colouring
- "Feminine hygeine"
- Women's bath & shower products
- Women's makeup (often this is 3-5 seperate aisles, by type or brand)
- Women's skin-care
- Women's deordorants and antiperspirants
- Women's perfumes
- Women's intimate hair removal products
- Women's not-intimate-but-undesired hair removal products
- Women's miscellaneous products, featuring: hair clips, hair curlers, hair straighteners, eyelash curlers, nail files, makeup remover, nail polish remover, anything branded with "Hello Kitty", various sizes of cotton balls (including those little tiny ones that they put between their toes for some reason), glittery photo frames (for some reason) and a large number of items that I cannot identify.


Then there's this really short aisle, called "Men's toiletries".
bixschmix » neu 1 years ago
It takes a lot of effort to look this good!

Or, that's what I hear. In aisles 9-27.

Chubbied, though I would add:

Greasy Snack Foods With Unknown Ingredients That Leave Orange Residue on Your Fingers.

The last two should be hand sanitizers, but they'd be self-defeating, and that's not a guy kind of product, anyway.

lateadopter » neu 2 years ago
Do you find that Fuckin' requires too much effort? Remember that Tits can be enjoyed with La-Z-Boy and Beer, or even with Hand Down the Front of Your Shorts While the Game Is On. Buy the whole set today!

And for the consumer who seeks the experience of Fuckin' with the convenience of Tits, we also offer Blowjob. Blowjob is available in Multi-Packs with Pizza and Halo to maintain optimal enjoyment and hand-eye-mouth coordination.

DISCLAIMER: Some customers will find it difficult to use Blowjob together with Hand Down the Front of Your Shorts While the Game Is On.

The first time I had to pick up a female product, the cashier assumed it belonged to the woman standing in line behind me. She stopped the belt feed one item short, for a brief moment forcing my brain into the awkward place of realizing that perhaps I have been whipped.

Then my tongue spoke of its own accord "I need those, for the bleeding in my crotch".

I love Beef's escalating rage here as he is surrounded by nonsensical shampoos that awake his logic-based fury. It's almost as good as his wrath at the cost of weddings.
