In my experience the mome raths just outgrabe, Teodor is reaching here

All up with the Mimsy Borogroves.

Beware the Jubjub Bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch yo.

My new band will be "Vorpal Blade and the Snicker-snacks".

Your fans will chortle rather than cheer. Rather than a mosh pit, everyone will gyre and gimble in the wabe. You come out on stage to another round of chortles...smoke machines, strobe lights, the whole shebang...You stand there, in uffish thought, as a single manxome guitar note is played...and then you launch into a rock opera rendition of the Jabberwocky.

This image is very powerful in my mind.

Aw man this shit is brillig.

Man, FRESHMAN YEAR.

I was in an octet for state solo/ensemble contest, and we performed THAT POEM, put to music. It was the raddest thing. I wish I could remember who the composer was.

I have no idea who originally scored the glee club version, but Tom Waits pretty much made it a moot point with his rendition.

I met Tom Waits. I know him.

Now they're in for it!

seriously. you KNOW it's gonna hit the fan

shmuckles, if you'd said "It's a trap!" it would've been the most powerful avatar/post combo possible.

Instead, I get THIS.

the internet commenter mentions how the other internet commenter could have made a funnier joke.

I chubby you as yet another internet commenter!

After seeing the Great Outdoor Fight, I bet Ray could take Pete. Not sure about if he's stoned, though..

Does it even back out if Pete's stoned too?

this is a very interesting concept

Ray's "semen of the demon" line makes it.

Mind that this is a specific kind of Metal, but I get you.

here you go

Oh man, MANOWAR is hilarious! "DEATH TO FALSE METAL!"

Whoever lamed calling Manowar homoerotic either doesn't know Manowar or doesn't know homoerotic.

They are the gay Ken dolls.

Jesus, not a bad name for a band.

I hear lines like this I don't think Manowar. I think King Diamond on the most King Diamond day of the year.

Ray puts a more direct spin on the classic question, "Do you know what I mean?".

I really like, "aww yeah, man. hooray. hooray for some guys."

I love Teodor's expressions when he's trying to be all furious like a black-metal singer.

Death Metal surely.

Death Metal is all about the grunting profanities.
Black Metal is about wailing rabid riffs on the guitar like there is no tomorrow.

To actually listen to Kissing the Shadows by Children of Bodom is to never diss Black Metal again.

To call Children of Bodom black metal is to have never listened to black metal before.

"Hooray for some guys." Has worked its way into my lexicon.

dim5 power chord! dim5 power chord! locrian-based solo at 240 bpm!

*flurry of parallel 4ths*

Diminished 7th... bitch.

Of course Nice Pete smokes a pipe. Why didn't I know this?

I wonder where the animals go to get their tiny pipes

They've got some reallly tiny pipes out there, man. My friend has this like one inch long little one hitter quitter on his keyring.

What I wanna know is where they get their tiny lighters. (Japan?)

Same place all stoners do: the hippy bong shop.

Pipes come in some silly small sizes. My father used to have several that I'd use when I went to visit him.

oh you did NOT play the "I KNOW ALL ABOUT PIPES CAUSE I SMOKE POT" bit.

Burroughs wrote an awesome segment about that.

Yeah. You're right, my bad man.

Got you pegged all wrong.

You all seemed like dicks here. One of the dickingest exchanges that I've seen thus far on this, this Assetbar.

You're both trying to be impressive by talking about a widely available drug on the internet. One of you is being coy, the other is airing family dirty laundry out in public.

Coupla dicks. Take it sleazy, babies.

No one cares to impress Grimace, dude. Come on.

that's goddamned precient, considering Little Neph's sojourney into Wales. Also, I think it's an interesting story.
Most mums and dads are not like that.

Oh you did not just play the "I'M INTELLECTUALLY SUPERIOR I READ BURROUGHS" card. (You don't play a bit.)

Burroughs is my favorite author. Do not slander the man by name-dropping him.

Hey guys, guess who's about to get...

yelllled aaat!

Teodor's stoned eyes really creep me out.

I think they're hilarious. He's just pissed off about that mome-rath.

Reminds me of Cotton Hill:

"aww yeah man. hooray. hooray for some guys." It's so true. I completely dig where that's coming from.

Nice Pete is clearly a fan of Bathory.

p.s. i feel sorry for Nice Pete. nothing's worse than overhearing people mocking you.

If Nice Pete was really a fan of Bathory then his skin would be of better quality.

I completely get this reference because I wrote and performed a monologue as Countess Elizabeth Bathory as part of my Drama A level. It was totally awesome, but I'm so bummed that me and soticoto share some kind of knowledge.

Nice Pete's lyrics would probably be redeemed if at the end of each song he let out a hearty ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Or AAAAAIIIIIIII!!

Pete needs Demon Banjo. Pity it just disappeared out of continuity.

i want to smoke with nice pete.

I just found out that Norway in fact DIDN'T invent the paper clip...

But a "honorable" mention in Achewood makes me be proud of my nationality again

PS, just bought the cookbook for my roommate for Christmas. I've read trough it myself.
And now I think about keeping it

OH NO!!

WHAT IS NICE PETE GOING TO DO TO THEM!!

I BETTER READ THE NEXT STRIP!!

If I'm ever in a metal band we are going to sing what Ray just did. No matter what my role is in the band.

Yeah, speaking from ownership of many, many "extreme metal" albums, from Bathory, Darkthrone and Mayhem to Manowar to Exit-13 and Lawnmower Deth, I do have to say that Ray's lyrics are among the best death/black metal lyrics I've ever seen, intentional parody or not.

o shit o shit o shit o shit

did a thief steal teodor's eyes in panels five and six

Yes. The thief called... reefer madness!

Assassin of youth!

Ruh-Roh.

I feel that Ray should be saying "AIGHT" after his lyrics.

Do you see a banjo? Because I don't.

I laughed. Out loud.

i'm just here to say i admire the smallness of teodor's eyes here

with Nice Pete hiding around a corner smoking, and the "!" alt text, i get a strong Metal Gear Solid vibe. Well, ok, it would need about 20 more panels worth of cutscene as well.
