Hey poohpah chalupa.
You may be taxing me at two, but I’m up to the challenge.
Hi poopah chalupa!
I have a good friend who calls me Audge. Actually, he started off calling me Audge Podge but he shortened it to just Audge. 
Happy 200th to you!
::sweet smile:: Who, me?
Yeah, you know, you’re probably right. Thanks for saving me the heartache. 
Of course not! The guys here are massive, tanned mounds of studliness! Well, so I hear… I haven’t seen any for myself… but I’m sure they’re around! Somewhere!
I’m already planning on a visit next spring. I want to see New York, but California is also a possibility.
Naw, I need to be near the ocean! It beckons me! Where in Minnesota are you? I’ve got a couple friends up in Duluth.
I’ll just throw back a lava rock. I’ll cover it in limu to soften the blow. 
Limu o Pele?-
You’re so kind. You want to hurl a lava brick at me, but you want to add some sand with it to comfort the blow?
You’re so sweet!!
I was only going to hit 'ya with a snowball! You want to invoke the spirits of Mount Pele’s spirit to inflict pain and harm upon me?
You sadonist!!
Wrooorrrw.
But seriously, I’ve only used Lava soap to try and erase the dirt and grime of a hard days’ work.
Well, kinda like trying to erase this thread.
But seriously- You should visit the West Coast. You’ll fit in there.
Maybe that’s why I thought you first came from there- they like arguments like you’ve made- Off the wall and making no sense.
Since I’m no longer making smilies, I’m sticking my tongue out at 'cha instead!
Phhhhttt!!!
Dammit!! Erase one of those Spirit’s in the above post. My mistake… Or was it?
Damn you Audrey! You’ve cursed me. Take it back. NOW
Happy?
And all over a Slug cartoon.
::giggles::
Heh heh. Limu is seaweed. That’s your Hawaiian language lesson for the week.
Oh, I know. I’ll help you disinfect and bandage the wound after.
You know about Pele? I’m impressed. Actually, Pele (not the soccer player) is the volcano goddess.
If it’s snow ya want, it’s snow you’ll get. I’ll just need an day or so to fly out to the island of Hawaii and climb up Mauna Kea (where the observatory is). Lotsa snow up there. I’ll be back with a cooler-full to smack you upside the head with. Buahahahahahahaha!!!
You need a couple sessions with a dominatrix or something, hon. ::ducks::
Are you still trying to conceal your smiley? Look, I’ve got a screenshot. No matter what you do, I’ll still have my screenshot. So there! Ha!
Uh, I’ll fit in? Is that good or bad? Heh heh. I’ve seen the West Coast, but not the East Coast, which is part of the reason why I want to go there.
Careful! There are a lot of West Coast folks here!
::Audrey grabs CnoteChris’s tongue and duct tapes it to his nose::
Woo hoo!
No! You did it to yourself, you ninny. Don’t go blaming me for what you posted! I’m not blaming you for my uncharacteristic sassiness, am I?
As a matter of fact, yes!
Yeah, tell me about it!
Dammit!!
Your curse has me all screwed up.
As you have already stated, and I mis-indentified- The limu is a seaweed that’s mostly green in nature and grown on the rockier surfs’ of Hawaii. While it may be a delicacy to those on the mainland, it’s a standard ingredient used in many parts of Hawaii.
I was wrong. I apologize. I thought it was pumice. Sue me!!
It can be wrapped around certain foods in Hawaii much like some mainlanders’ wrap corn husks around certain dishes in the Midwest. It’s used to enhance the flavor of the main dish. More of an aditive fragrance than anything else.
Happy? Pleased? Audrey?
Man… I never thought you Hawaiians were such a mean bunch ‘o’ people. Your sugar ads made us all seem like we we’re welcome. No more, apparently.
I don’t care about how much the rates are, I’m not coming out there on a bet!
No woman is worth this amount of grief!!
C’mere, my snowball is turning into a nice ‘Icebullet’ by now. Closer… Closer…
Show me your seaweed and I’ll show you my patented snow-ball.
::Smack::
Ohh… Hey!!!
Nope. I won’t say it.
I’ll ignore that bit about your curse, okay?
Oh sheesh, are you doing research? Seaweed comes in three varieties- red, brown, and green, and it’s found wherever the ocean is. It feels gross when you go swimming and you surface with a piece of it on your head or leg. Ugh. But yeah, it tastes good. It’s mostly a Japanese thing, for sushi or in miso soup and as a garnish.
Chris, you got a culture lesson too!
Ooh, can i?
Aww, I don’t mean to come off so bitchy. You certainly are welcome to visit our beautiful islands. I’ll even give you proper directions!
Your loss, bub!
Oh, were you coming to visit me? I’m so touched! We could finally have a little Hawaii Doperfest!
I’m gonna sic my wild mongooses on you!
::CnoteChris gets pummeled by large wave; snowball is knocked from his hand and melts in salt water::
Phooey to you!
I’m glad I’m not the only one. But I have to have most of the cartoons in “alternative” papers explained to me. Too many obscure references, usually.
Re: This week’s illustration: Did Harley-Davidson patent the sound of its motorcycles?
I know that Freud is supposed to have said “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”, but I can’t help noticing that in this week’s illustration Slug has the biker chomping on a big stogie. Also, the bike has seven–count 'em–headlights (symbolic breasts) and seven tailights (symbolic penises). And let’s not overlook the ornament on top of his helmet.
Also, other than boots and the helmet, the biker does not appear to be wearing any clothes .
What?
whitetho-
I’m beginning to think your serious here. If you are, give me a break- Fruedian analysis has been pretty much discounted by every major psychologist with half a brain. It’s methods are so obscure and open to interpretation that it makes reading subliminal advertising a truly scientific pursuit.
Please… How I hold my bar of soap when I shower, when using a few Fruedian ideas, could be seen to be a desire to be ‘one’ with my mother and a subtle attempt to kill my father. I was only trying to get clean.
By the way, whitetho, what’s that couple doing on the backside of my Irish Spring bar of soap? Looks like there making it to me!
