/ Ray: Heh heh! Dang, Beef!
/ Ray: You were like the Martha Steward of condoms, all finding new and clever household uses for them! / Roast Beef: Hee hee
/ Roast Beef: "Pipe frosting, or even a fresh fruit coulis, through the tip of a punctured condom" / Ray: "Try using unlburicated condoms as condiment dispensures at your next backyard barbecue!" / Roast Beef: "Crack crab legs and claws inside a condom for a mess-free seafood dinner"
/ Ray: "A condom makes the ideal storage container for leftover risotto." / Roast Beef: "Wear a condom when working with raw poultry for an added layer of protection"
/ Ray: "Perforate a condom with a hole punch to make the perfect container for a bouquet garni." / Roast Beef: "Fill a condom with 1 part peat, 1 part sand, and 1 part water. There you go: you've just created the ideal germination environment for tarragon seeds."
/ Ray: Heh heh! That's just like somethin' she would say, isn't it?! / {{Put an unripe banana in a condom and throw it at a friend}} http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07082003 |

ARE YOU NOT THE COOK? CRATES OF FINE VICTUALS STAND AND SPOIL BENEATH THE MIDDAY SUN! / Teodor stares, agape, at Lorwerth. He is frozen by the enormity of the situation. / Lorwerth: I HOPE YOU'RE SERVIN TEA WITH THOSE SAUCER EYES, 'CAUSE YOU HAVE PISS-ALL ELSE TO SHOW!

/ The sons rush off past their father in rows, arms on the son in fronts' shoulders, some yelling and enthusiastic, some, particularly Cadwalader, grim-faced and determined. / Taffy and little Nephew are playing nintendo, Taffy, teeth bared, is emitting his vocal stream of 'Yeah's.

| Achewood § July 8, 2009 | [[The first panel is taken up with a large letter from Chuck Williams]]
/ Dear Mr. Smuckles,
/ Sadly it is true what you say. The public is not as willing as it once was to acquire such marvelous, joyful gourmet equipment as our FAA-approved In-flight Celery Root Denuder, or even such picnic essentials as our exclusive Piccolo(TM) Pocket Radish Juicer. It was in low spirits indeed that I took receipt of your letter. I despise virtually everything about your proposed "erotic copy" remedy, but my hands are tied. Go ahead, play the trophy wife for the Veblenian maze-rat she is. I am beyond caring about that vile, fair-weather demographic. I am nearly one hundred years old. Find enclosed a list of items in need of copy and send your work to my assistant Ronnie DiFaduzzio (x3917). Goodbye. Sincerely, Chuck Williams, Founder. / [[Ray and Cornelius are together, Ray holding apparently another sample page]]
/ Ray: Aight, Connie. Let's get those cougars creamin' for a... lemme see here... "Traditional Sicilian Caper Desalinizing Bowl." / Cornelius: Thirty-four dollars for a bowl with "Cappero" painted unevenly on the rim? I've seen finer lettering on necks.
/ Ray: Not your place to judge. You a ho of some pretty spendy smokes, if I need to say that. / [[Cornelius begins typing, and continues for several panels, as before]]
/ Subtitle: Soon.
/ Cornelius: (Typing) Judi relaxed at her kitchen's large granite island, a chilled Montrachet in her stemless Riedel.

/ Ray: It goes through a tunnel! But even better is that when it gets to the hopper, it actually drops off tiny little payloads! Soooooo realistic!

/ Ray: Beef, it don't stop there. This layout also has a *water feature*.
/ Roast Beef (V.O.): Oh man like a little waterfall or riverbed
/ Those are so hard to contain properly / [[Ray leans forward eagerly, sensing that the deal is almost done.]]

| Achewood - July 12, 2004 | Phone: Hello, is this Ray Smuckles?
/ Ray: Look, I ain't interested in no Capital One card. / Sheriff: Sir, this is the Achewood City sheriff's department calling again.
/ Sheriff: As I told you earlier, we've received charges that you hired a known sex offender to mutilate his body in front of several children. / Ray: Yeah, uh, I didn't do that. I'm more of a "rent a pony" kind of guy.
/ Ray: Listen, put Captain B on the line. / Ray: B? Yeah, it's Ray, man! Ha ha! No, no, I ain't callin' to back outta the tournament! Yeah, I'm still in for my full pledge! Hope you boys don't blow it all on new Pings! / Ray: Oh, listen man, do me a quick favor and erase all history of crimes I have committed recently. / Ray: Cool, thanks. Say, B, how you set for wheels these days? I got one of those new Hummers but it's hell on my lumbar.
/ Ray: Nice. That'll be a fun car for B Junior to have at college. You're a good dad, Bill. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07122004 |
