0100b — Never Before Seen Airwolf Panels, etc
Added 2024-12-13 20:00:08 +0000 UTCThere was zero clipboard content generated by strip 0100 so I picked a random date and, happily, there was a strip for that day, which I could mine instead.
It was very satisfying to mindlessly type “05042006” and have it be not just any strip, but the strip where Ray has Airwolf, and accidentally launches a missile at Philippe. Please — sit back, and enjoy.
What were you doing on May 4, 2006? I had a one-year old and little plastic Ben Franklin glasses.

I was working in a bar/barbq restaurant tin Red Hook Brooklyn and introducing my coworkers to Achewood with this very strip (and rewinding to how we got to that point)

2024-12-17 00:59:39 +0000 UTCI would have been towards the end of my Sophomore year of High School, so probably still grappling with existential dread induced depression caused by my dumb teenager brain being overly worried about the Large Hadron Collider potentially blowing up the world or even the universe so you can see why I emphasize with Roast Beef so much...

2024-12-14 19:49:55 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to report Chris that I did. Age 12 or so we got broadband. And it was all downhill from there. I used to be able to read books. Books!

2024-12-14 18:43:42 +0000 UTCMy maw believed video games would rot my brains so I didn't get it that year. Next year however she relented and, well, yes, looking back on it 15 years later she was right.

2024-12-14 16:23:22 +0000 UTCYeah the font isn't great when you want to communicate the word Bed, I noticed that but went ahead anyway because, small joke

2024-12-14 00:56:25 +0000 UTCOne Chutzpah lip balm please. For Hanukkah! May 4 2006 was while my second marriage was still pretty okay. It was that guy who introduced me to Achewood in the first place. Alas for him, I was too awesome and we've been split since 2009.

2024-12-14 00:16:37 +0000 UTCOh wait, it doesn't say An Enticing Bid? Either way, there's a version of the book that's a sexy romp and a version that is really boring

2024-12-13 21:07:56 +0000 UTCAirwolfe ran for six episodes on BBC1 in 1986. It was a "high-budget" show, despite only ever using four shots of the model Airwolfe in flight, because of the "shocking extravagance" incurred by cracking open a can of actual filmstock (as opposed to just videotaping everything). When the model helicopter catastrophically burst into flames due to - what else? - dodgy electrical work, the writers decided to end the series with the entire principal cast meeting a fiery end to what was ultimately a futile struggle. Fans of the show cling to this downer ending as proof that the show was superior to the American counterpart, despite the rest of the show being camp nonsense.

2024-12-13 20:12:17 +0000 UTC“What if the only book in this helicopter was about planes” is a real banger to drop in couples therapy. Probably get to go home early.
