Ray has had an awful lot of martinis.
choosebro » neu 2 years ago
Does Ray have a server who brings him Martinis? Why does he have so many glasses? Or does he just one-use them?
ovenface » neu 2 years ago
If you only had one glass, you would have to keep getting out of the bath to mix yourself another drink and fill it up. This way, he can premix 7 martinis and get smashed without leaving the comfort of the tub!

Good point, Sir.
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
I have done this with wine, beer, and scotch. Just sittin in the tub, reading and getting a little slanted.

I have not gotten drunk in the shower, though. I'd like to say it's because I'm environmentally conscious but really the time just never came up.

Also it is more likely that your drink would be watered down in the shower. Unless you were drinking from one of those sippy-cups.
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
I just might.

I think that usually when shower beer is had it's with the can placed on the shower rack, out of the way of the water.

Also, how neat is it that you have a Wilde avatar and I have Stephen Fry?
choosebro » neu 2 years ago
Yes, it is great. Anyone who likes Stephen Fry is automatically a good person. This is one of those pesky facts.
jlynes » neu 2 years ago
Agreed.

What do you think those little umbrellas are for? Decoration?
linning » neu 1 years ago
One birthday, my girlfriend at the time allowed to fulfil my dream of boningin the shower whilst smoking a jay and having a beer.

Pretty much the best combination of delights.
riazm » neu 1 years ago
Sounds...logistically complex.
donnatron » pro 1 years ago
Agreed, but some of the best things in life are logistically complex.
tonyhighwind » pro 1 years ago
I really am curious how you kept that lit, sir.
heccibiggs » pro 2 years ago
I haven't been drunk in the shower, but I have been horrifically hungover. As in, I couldn't actually stand up and basically sat on the floor of the shower cubicle for like ten minutes.

It was actually pretty good.
buttermoths » neu 2 years ago
Yeah, sitting in the shower is terribly underrated. And sitting makes it just sliiightly goth to take a shower.
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
Sitting in the shower IS awesome. Also, if you're really bored, re-enacting all the great dramatic rain scenes from your favorite movies is also a lot of fun.

Another thing I do in the morning shower sometimes - I crouch and bow my head, assuming the Arnold Schwarzenegger pose from when he first gets sent back in time in Terminator, and then I slowly rise to a standing position while going " BA DUM BUM BADUM. BA DUM BUM BADUM."

Life would be so much cooler if I was a robot.

I like to get into a Shawshank/Platoon-pose while urinating in the shower.
heccibiggs » pro 2 years ago
In the shower yesteray, I dropped the lid of my shampoo and bent to pick it up, and as I did I remembered this comment, so I TOTALLY did a dramatic standing-up-in-the-rain-post-battle type thing, and it was fucking awesome.
gouldgonewild » neu 1 years ago
Rain is almost always bad ass in movies.

HUGE exceptions:

1.) Singin' In The Rain: good scene, I guess, but not bad ass

2.)Four Weddings And A Funeral: Andie MacDowell ruins everything she touches. "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed." FUCK YOU FOR RUINING GROUNDHOG'S DAY!

...what were we talking about
tekende » neu 1 years ago
You got chubbies for this because reading it caused people to imagine you wet and naked.
heccibiggs » neu 1 years ago
And bent over.

Seriously, though. Now that my inbox is useful again and I've been reading a lot of responses to comments I wrote ages ago, an uncomfortably large number of them seem to involve me getting chubbies for my "cute" avatar or whatever. I really wish you'd all stop that. It makes me feel cheap and objectified.
i_love_kate » neu 1 years ago
Don't worry your pretty little head about it.

Dear god, this comment made me laugh far too much for my own good.
choosebro » neu 1 years ago
Welcome to the internet, lady. We don't get many of your types around here.
greenkoolayd » neu 9 months ago
is it impossible for you to be a hot piece of brain AND be easy on the eyes?
deusoma » pro 1 years ago
To be fair, everything becomes cooler with robots.
foetus_punch » neu 1 years ago
I've been trying to spread a rumor: lying down in a shower while you masturbate will make you ejaculate twice as much, because the jism is trying to defeat the force of the water. Also, if you have sex with a pig, the orgasm lasts for half an hour, and all black people really like riding faster buses and will run for the faster bus.
invidious » neu 1 years ago
Um, this is Ray we're talking about: it's entirely possible that he's just lounging about all soakin' in gin and vermouth and just gets out when the tub's empty.
jezebel » pro 1 years ago
I especially appreciate that they're perfectly spaced and lined up like a shooting gallery.
maggieobrien » neu 2 years ago
What an amazing drunk dial. And just imagine, knowing what we know now, how uncomfortable Pat must be.
dj » neu 2 years ago
Man, people make a lot of comments like this on old comics, but I'm pretty sure Pat's curse-induced homosexuality has less to do with his terseness than the fact that he's an uptight punk, yes?

SPEED DIAL WAS HELLA INVENTED FOR DRUNKS, YOU BET
ghostd » pro 2 years ago
I have just found my next drunk dialing method.

Did yyyyou leave a comment? It's ok, yyyou can tell me.
everything_is_a_hat » neu 2 years ago
I want I bath tub like Ray's, it's big and has a ledge wide enough to hold a martini glass.
bixschmix » neu 2 years ago
He's also a cat. It's not as big as you would think.
geysershitdick » neu 2 years ago
SOON
trollcollins » pro 2 years ago
sometimes my room-mate will phone me from a different room in the house can ask "did yooouuu steal my laundry?"

I can never seem to remember the exact right response though.

Alt text: "That was Hat Week, everyone! How'd you like it?"

Did yyyou steal the cookies from the cookie jar?


dang do people even have cookie jars anymore what with resealable chips ahoy and the like?
dropkickpikachu » neu 2 years ago
Perhaps, and stop me if I go too fast here, but perhaps people bake their own cookies and would like such as a place to keep them fresh.
biddlebubbly » neu 2 years ago
And they put them into soulless tupperware so they stay fresh. Ain't no room for an honest-to-goodness cookie jar these days.
heccibiggs » neu 2 years ago
I have one in my house

But I don't have cookies :(
kelsotimebomb » neu 2 years ago
Best thing ever?

A Cookie Monster-shaped cookie jar. From, like, the early 80s. And I think it might have been a housewarming gift from when my parents bought their first house.

It truly is a Thing.
shogun » pro 2 years ago
There have been a few scenes with panels like the last, and I always have the same question: Why have a multiplicity of Martini glasses? Why not just have one, and a shaker or pitcher to replenish?

Maybe that's more of a practical issue, and would not convey the image of drinking to excess as well in a visual sense.
godfatherofsouls » neu 2 years ago
Ray considered a glass once used spoiled.
peterjoel » neu 2 years ago
Ray has monogrammed towels!
pixie_meat » neu 2 years ago
I read this strip while wasted.. and then proceeded to call several people to ask if they stole my laundry.
flaaron » neu 2 years ago
It was me! I stole your laundry!
bourbonsamurai » pro 2 years ago
Are you drunk again, Flaaron?
flaaron » neu 2 years ago
Only on dryer fumes.
yearsinhotclaws » neu 1 years ago
pixie meat's avatar makes this comment that much more funny

Roast Beef takes it as a genuine question.
heccibiggs » pro 2 years ago
This strip bumped my strip views to 666.

Oh hells yes.
gussiejives » neu 2 years ago
Todd strikes again!
mattylite » pro 2 years ago
Roast Beef can't bring himself to rule out the possibility that maybe he did steal Ray's laundry and just doesn't think he did. Roast Beef has extremely low self-confidence. He's the guy who sucks. Plus he's got depression.
professorriffs » neu 1 years ago
Onstad, I fucking LOVED hat week.
steerpike66 » neu 1 years ago
WTF is with Pat's y's? Do yyyyou know?
mercuri0us » pro 1 years ago
I stole Ray's laundry!

Jesus. I didn't realize how long this comic had been in production until I saw the date on this. I turned twelve the day after this was printed. Holy shit I feel young.
