Good point.

And you should do the same!

Haven't even had a chance to start it.

I'm 25, and I recently moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I don't really remember how I found 8:1, but I kind of want to say that it might have been a keenspot banner link. Or maybe it was from Gin and the Devil? I'm not sure.

I've never seen egg salad in a vending machine; it sounds dangerous though.

To the new people:

Don't be shy, most of us are weird and already know each other, unfortunately.

And yeah, I'm afraid of the egg salad. But the Turkey wrap was pretty good, believe it or not.

I am a fucking god. If you're bored, the problem lies with you.

Hi, and yay for forums

I'm Racheal, I live in SoCal, in the desert somewhere. I'm 20, and egg salad from a vending machine...that can't be a good idea.
I dont have an avatar, or a signature, I'm either very lazy, or not at all creative.

Really, where in NE? We are out west.

I'm Rhys w/ <a href="www.eschersworld.com">IC</a>, and I found 8:1 while just puttering around CG about 5 mos ago. I love it.

Never eat egg salad unless you made it!.

Yeah, I've been reading 8:1 since it's come out. It's really inspiring in a depressive.. kind of way, and one of the few comics that I can relate to. At the least, it's a good reminder that there are other cynical, world-weary types out there who feel like life is passing them by too.

I'm Sam, I'm from Sub-Canada, I don't trust salads. Lettuce is fine, eggs are fine, but potato salad? no. egg salad? hell no.

Salads are tricky devils.

Intro duck: SHUN!

I am a man. I am wearing a suit.

I ate the egg salad.

I am not well...

Wow. So many nice people. Yay. Thank you.

They are. I don't have personal experience with this, but I've heard people who have gone down the wrong street and had a salad take their wallet at knife/gun point. I'd be careful around them.

P.S. I looked around for a forum when I first started reading the comic, but didn't find one and attributed it to the esoteric Zen-ness of the comic.

Duff is the one true God, thou shall have no Gods before Duff. Hey all. Name's Vik. SoCal moving into dorms in Pomona in a coupla months to do that college thang. 21, straight, nice teeth, likes long moonlit walk on the beach and fat bowls.

Hey there Duff, I'm the random guy that saw 8:1 through my friend who does (or rather, did) Orbvs. I sent you a coupla e-mails telling you how hard you rock a long time back. I intend to send one of those everytime you have an excpetionally brilliant strip, but since I always manage to convince myself I'm busy no matter how much time I spend goofing around you don't have about 80 of those e-mails. Your comic brings meaning to an otherwise dull, meaningless, and yet somehow at the same time revoltingly painful world.

Great to meet you all. I look forward to my first interactions on this interweb thing I've heard so much about.

Egg salad from a vending machine is only as good, and no better, than a greasy breakfast burrito dropped on a hardwood floor of a house the morning after a large party that packed the joint from windows to walls and eaten after having been there for 1 full minute, even at its best.

by **Beimprobable** on Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:53 pm

ah. I am me and nothing more nor nothing less.

I don't remember when I started reading 8:1 or how but I enjoy it. I like the heroic trio and their mishaps, though sometimes I feel exceedingly embarrased -for- them. To the point that I have to gather the nerve to read the next updates. Silly. Yes. Moving on.

Glad the updates have started up again but I mourn the loss of the art. They were flippin' gorgeous.

I love egg salad. Vending machine egg salad I would never consume, however.
