google, man.

as far as Stella being good or bad, even severe beer nerds say that it's decent (for a mass-produced InBev product, anyway).

It's alright on tap, but the green bottles make it skunk really easily.

I was at a book release last night, and thought the plot of the novel was interesting...

quote:

The Donnybrook is a three-day bare-knuckle tournament held on a thousand-acre plot out in the sticks of southern Indiana. Twenty fighters. One wire-fence ring. Fight until only one man is left standing while a rowdy festival of onlookers—drunk and high on whatever’s on offer—bet on the fighters.
Jarhead is a desperate man who’d do just about anything to feed his children. He’s also the toughest fighter in southeastern Kentucky, and he’s convinced that his ticket to a better life is one last fight with a cash prize so big it’ll solve all his problems.

Sounds a little familiar, no?

I am not in the loop for frankenstein anatomy but wouldn't Ray be right for ease of construction? If you cut through the middle of a joint thats a lot of complex parts to re-attach.

Then you'd have to splice muscles together instead of just popping the joints back in place

Also PBF comics are self contained and funny, and don't try to draw out a plot line with 14 months between strips.

Judging by the fact that he's ebaying the TV show bibles, I'm guessing that it didn't go over too well?

He responded to someone asking the same thing on twitter with that they're still working on the show but it's being "reformulated," which doesn't sound good.

Also apparently the show is animated using motion capture suits?

Does anyone have a link to the strip where Beef gets something in the mail, maybe a SOSAD lamp, and the instructions are in engrish? I remember it has one line that about a mouse "dancing" in a pot of boiling water.

I was going to say just use the search bar, but I ran a bunch of poo poo for that comic trying to find it and it never came up. I tried Snicker Stick, group setting, holistic solution, I hate you, saucer of hot water... pretty much the whole thing. It's not indexed. Even google failed. I remember it was 2011 or so, though.

The only real life influence Achewood had on me was that I tried Grey Goose, Ketel 1, Chivas etc

My faith in Ray's booze taste was severely tested when he was praising "crispy Stellas". Stella Artois (or 'wifebeater' in the UK) is dogshit lager.

Stella is marketed as a high-end, premium beer in the US, so it makes perfect sense Ray would be all about it.

Words that Beef needed to hear, for entirely misunderstood reasons. I wonder how often he thinks about this clerk.

Also what in the blazes is going on with that outline in the first panel? Is that a fish planting a ski flag?

I always presumed that the commodore referred to an esoteric manner in which to stimulate the prostate, resulting in a series of rear end orgasms and possibly the expulsion of fecal matter (hence the towel)

It's probably related to how Ray's breeder made him doodoo on the floor with a q tip. Same technique except consensual
