#588: "Ghost aliens!" - Page 4

PyrosNine · 08-18-2005, 06:43 PM

Damn. Wish I lived near a deli. Only thing remotely similar nearby is Schlotsky's. MMmmm...Schlotskys.

Well, Celes I sympathize with your suffering, so therefore I won't even go into any jokes about a girl handling meat.

Also, Brian, next time you go to the deli, wearing that "GTA made me do it" or the like. I'm sure the housewives will appreciate it. And anychance we could get a T-shirt with Ghost Aliens on it?

Just when you think RM may have a scrap of normality within him.... The sister disco starts. It brings me back to Thief's statement about RM's daddy problems and cross-dressing being a result of Thief's mental conditioning. Has Theif completely twisted RM's mind, or is this RM's own doing? Does he have sister issues as well as daddy issues? Should he seek counseling of some sort? Is he a good dancer? Does he own a white disco suit of his own?

And the turkey thing was just hilarious. There was absolutely no exaggeration there, which is why it's so damn funny.

Woah, Brian? A serious political/religious comment in a comic? I'm really not sure how this is going to bode for you. I've heard that Scientologists can be pretty rabid. The alien ghosts that possess people and make them do bad things comment may get you in a bit more trouble than it's worth.

For those of you who don't know, according to Scientologist theology, people are possessed by ghosts of aliens that cause pain and make people do bad things.

Brian, even if you didn't mean for it to be a Scientology reference, I'd be careful, it's way too much of a coincidence for those who know about their theology to overlook.

Though to be honest, many Scientologists don't believe the theology since there's no "church" par say, just a collection of books that people read and take from them what they want. I don't know how many believe the theology though; for all I know, it could be most of them.

Edit: However, it just occured to me that many may be offended by the implication that all Scientologists believe in the "ghost aliens"

Ha, see, that's why I stick with ham for my sandwiches.

Heh, a pretty good comic. I laughed at the new RM sprite, (you people have dirty minds), but was confused by his sister rant. Is it supposed to be a complete sentence? Or some sort of reference? 'Cause I can't fully get it. Though I do accept that RM is being weird.

Ghost Aliens; the perfect, all-purpose scapegoat.

Dude, that in and of itself is a joke.

Bob The Mercenary · 08-18-2005, 09:54 PM

Anyone else catch a Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within vibe when they started talking about alien ghosts?

Also, you can tell it's a slow news day when Brian writes a novella on deli meats.

[Edit] Now that I went back and read the previous posts I now realize I am a moron and that Silver Rose already mentioned it.

Scientologists are funny. I laugh at thier silly ways.

But seriously, if that was not a scientology joke, it should be. Because if any organized group outside of the US government needs mocking, it's the Scientologists. Damn cult founded by a Sci-fi writer who needed a way to scam money out of people because he was poor.

PyrosNine · 08-19-2005, 01:55 AM

Final fantasy the movie. A good movie. But when they possesed you they actually possessed you in a blue glowy form and took you somewhere. Too bad fanboys couldn't get over their hopes of seeing moogles, chocobos, and Cloud and sephiroth duels. Punks.

As for the joke, I meant it to be that way.

Wait...That's what scientology's about? Whoaaa.

shiney · 08-19-2005, 02:11 AM

All I can say about that is Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Those in the know will understand.

Lets recap at the last three words that have been used repeatedly in the newest comments.

583: Double
587: Probing
588: Sisters

Is Brian trying to make some sort of hidden message that will make us all go out and bye incest lesbian porn about ghost aliens and transformers?
