i'm explaining what i don't like about the comics- too full of self-indulgent references and every name drop imaginable. every few pages makes me groan, because i can imagine a 20something liberal who grew up in the late 80s going "heehee, that was cool". i don't like that, it makes it difficult for me to immerse myself in the work. i think it's lame and silly.

Jeez Arch stop being so raw lately.
what does that mean?
when was I raw?
this isn't hatin' on pony, i like the dude. i just wanted a frame of reference.
I'm making fun of him complaining about the chat being raw because we always complain about how he posts.
Now my joke is even less funny than it was before.
if i was really going to levy a complaint about his posting it would be that i can no longer type how i like
I thought you agreed to be at my office at 8am this morning, Ellie.
Sorry. Forgot about my housesitting gig. They're actually paying me for this. I'm pretty sure you aren't.
I was paying you in sex! WE AGREED UPON THIS! IT WAS YOUR TERMS!
Wait.
House sitting? Fo' real?
You have to have a gigantic and wacky party that ends with you scrambling to clean it up before the owners get home.
I wanted to say something really crass in response to that (but not disparaging to you), but I'm pretty sure I don't want it to come back and bite me in the ass, so pretend I said something very cheeky.
And yeah, house sitting fo' rizzle.
Right? The family I'm sitting for was all "You can have a party if you want to. Have your friends over. We've got every movie channel and there's plenty of beer in the fridges."
I mean, really? REALLY? If only my friends weren't all "we can't be arsed to drive out to your end of the Cities because there's nothing to do there," I would totally throw a party and it would be epical.

Yes exactly.
This also describes everything I've ever said about natural selection on these forums.
i can't think of ever having seen you maek poast about natural selection, although I have seen you maek poast about evo psych
my evo psych posts are like this though
I say a lot of stuff like "The most fundamental principle behind natural selection is that things that are most likely to continue existing will continue to exist."
Which is poorly put and belies the actual thought process that generated it.
I only dislike that because a lot of creationists have tried to argue that natural selection, and thus evolution, and thus abiogenesis (which is thus confused with evolution) are invalidated by this tautology.

Family Guy is like your favorite cartoon.
my dad laughs at that stuff
so does my juggalo little brother
and this girl i dated who was a mormon
it isn't nearly, nearly, nearly so narrow
it's not about using a lot of references- it's about all the references being pointed at a very, very specific audience

So apparently Leigh is still jealous of the flirting the intern does. I know it's an insecurity on her part and I should be more supportive, but damned if I don't enjoy the stepping up in Leigh's flirting with me it causes.
Sleep with the intern and reassure your good lady with the news that, of the two, Leigh is much better in bed.
Well you've never given me bad advice before....the only flaw is that I don't think the intern actually wants to sleep with me. She's just one of those people who flirt without thinking about. Or she wants to sleep with every guy in the office.

Also, what terrible friends. They clearly don't understand the joy of taking advantage of someone else's house.

How so?
Because of entropy?
Because I think that selection has an interesting relationship with entropy that I don't fully understand yet and make a lot of silly claims about.

I may or may not be vying for the title of Queen Bitch of the Universe with the lovely and ruthless Kerrigan.
Oddly enough I just recently purchased Starcraft for $15 from Blizzard in a sad attempt to get in the SC2 beta last minute. I just hit the first Kerrigan mission. I suppose could off her giving you the title retroactively :P
Also what Justin said. Clearly it's time for a monster of a house party.

No, that it doesn't make testable claims because you can't falsify a tautology.
Lunch was good. Had Chinese buffet and they have decent sushi!
ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for:
explosive diarrhea
That almost happened to me last night. Playing Alien Swarm and took a bio break. My colon tried to trick me into making a rather large mess in my bathroom. Luckily I got wise to it's ruse.

I guess you don't actually have to sleep with her. Just tell the missus that you have and that she was rubbish. That should sort out your problems.

i haven't called anyone a pedophile or a filthy, antisocial geek. you're seriously making me sound way more hateful and judgmental than i'm actually being.
What I am saying is instead of being satisfied with saying that the comic isn't for you but you don't begrudge other people liking it you are calling the comic bad when it isn't bad, it just falls outside of your own tastes. Basically I don't see why you have to invalidate other people's tastes when all you had to do was say the comic wasn't for you. It's needlessly confrontational and it spurs arguments like these when all it could have been was "this is my personal truth" and then you could have continued to dislike the comic and I could have continued re-reading volume five and it would have been fine.
There are a lot of things I don't like but I don't call them bad, I recognize that they are good. There is a lot of music, for example, that I can't get into but I believe is technically good. There is no reason for me to call into question other people's tastes and it's not an argument I want to be responsible for starting.
