[DC] HEY T-REX SETTLE A BET

Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 12:55 pm

Ryan, in tomorrow's comic, can you please make T-Rex purple without explaining or acknowledging this at all? Because that would be pretty great if you did.

Also! Comment link reads "friend" instead of "fried."

Although I suppose there are those among us who would prefer a friend chicken to a fried one.

i want a friend chicken AND a fried chicken

but not the same one, i want two, just to make that clear (in case you're listening, god)

This seems like one of those comics where Ryan took a thought he had and gave it to the T-Rex.

Like Ryan was sitting around one day, and thought to himself, "Man, you know what would be awesome? If I could raise one eyebrow. Because right now, I just can't look intrigued."

It would also explain why he always says things like, "Guys, I'm really intrigued right now."

The God in Ryan's universe is not very omniscient.

The T-Rex in Ryan's universe is not very dinosaury.

The Ryan in T-Rex's universe is not very existent.

The Devil is pretty much spot-on though.

i can totally raise one eyebrow, you guys. but only the right one! i can't independently raise only my left eyebrow! isn't that WEIRD?

I can only raise my left. I think only being able to do one is normal.

I can independently raise my left eyebrow but not my right, and only that because I spent my entire childhood developing the facial muscles to do so.

Seriously, pick any given moment in my childhood and I was probably grimacing into a mirror, simultaneously raising my eyebrows and trying to hold the right one down by scowling with half my face. To this day that's how I do it -- raise both eyebrows, but hold the right one down (with my forehead, not my hands or something).

im going to practice that now

also this comic makes all sorts of sense now that i'm reading the word "bet" like "bet" and not "bit"

Words often make more sense when read correctly.

Today's alt text was spectacularly helpful. Thank you, little friend!

Twelve-year-old Boorishly practised raising his left eyebrow (and succeeded in getting it to work independently) because he wanted to be just like Spock. Thirteen-year-old Boorishly then realized that Spock actually raises his right eyebrow, so he started all over again.

Actually, it didn't really take that long and I can now make both eyebrows move independent of one another. As a bonus, it slightly improved my ability to wiggle my ears (though I am still not very good at that). The time investment was totally worth it, and I recommend it to any middle-school student with hours of free time to fill every week.

i can also wiggle my ears! either one at a time, or both together.

also: i can roll my tongue. HEAR THAT, LADIES?

I can roll my tongue too. So I think the ladies should also consider me as a serious contender.

i am very good at performing cunnilingus.

Guys i was pretty good at raising my left eyebrow before but couldn't really raise my right, but now I practiced a couple of seconds and I think i got it down right

Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 3:55 pm

Yeah, I found the second eyebrow was surprisingly easy to train.

Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2006 4:08 pm

I can do my left eyebrow no sweat, but I have to totally screw my face up to do my right. I don't think it would be worth practising in front of a mirror or anything. I used to spend my time practising my lady-killing smile. I can now totally kill women just by smiling at them.

Also, the first sentence of that paragraph was true.

And here I was all like "Eyebrow doesn't rhyme with machine Ryan... WHAT?"

Actually, it would probably be even better if T-Rex was NOT purple tomorrow. Because then I would be all like, "Aw, Ryan. You dropped the BALL. The COMEDY ball, Ryan." And I would say that with a really disappointed look on my face, and everything.

And then next week, or in three months, or at some unspecified point in the future, THEN he could make T-Rex purple. I'd pull up the comic that day, and bam! There it would be! Purple T-Rex! And it would catch me completely by surprise, so it would be even funnier.

Also maybe in the last panel God should be saying something like OKAY ADMIT T-REX YOU LIKE THIS BETTER COME ON I KNOW YOU DO

Whoa that same thing happened to me and I landed in Confusedville down the road of this comic. I gotta stop rushing through my reading.

I can raise my right eyebrow fine, but I could never wink with my right eye, only my left, so I spent days training myself to be able to do so. Now I can wink with my right eye, but it's all forced and awkward. Good thing my left eye is so natural or I'd be doomed when scheming with somebody or if I said one thing and meant another.

I can raise my right eyebrow fine, but when I raise my left my right cheek starts twitching like crazy. Sorry ladies, lefty's a no-show!

That reminds me of Will Smith winking his boss in A.I. "as a sign of trust" or some crap. Seemed pretty forced to me!

Oh my God Sabrina. You had better tell me that you just had laser eye surgury and they accidentally severed the muscle that enables you to hold that lid up, because you did not just wink at me!

I can do all that eyebrow stuff, man. I can even stimulate a woman by wiggling my eyebrow around.
