Because why limit the appreciation to one day of the year?

honest to a fault, that ned

And also modest to a fault. In fact, there are almost as many Ned Raggett threads as there are Momus threads.

So is rolling Ned Raggett like rolling a wino or rolling (aka toilet papering) a house?

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Friday, 3 March 2006 03:23 (nineteen years ago)

Ned's doppelganger lives in Edinburgh.

This old man came rolling home?

Happy Friday, Ned!

one year passes...

Ned, please see The New Yorker, April 2, 2007, p. 72.

― Rockist Scientist, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

Ned is rolling in the past!

Library doesn't have it yet. Dare I ask?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

It's nothing important, just a cartoon that I don't understand, but which seems like it belongs on ILX.

― Rockist Scientist, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:41 (eighteen years ago)

Is it about confusion regarding the color of a purple tie?

― Abbott, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

That or the appropriate use and abuse of emoticons, I guess.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 19:47 (eighteen years ago)

I think you can go to their cartoonbank online and find it.

― teeny, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 20:25 (eighteen years ago)

Roland around in that stuff!

All the rolling thread titles just make me think of the Far Side about the "Tennessee Baller," or rolling joints. :{

― Abbott, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

Is it this one?

― jaymc, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

They're taking his name in vein! Blasphemers.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

and in vain, tho to shoot up Ned's name is quite the thrill.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

I actually prefer the weirdly deadpan description of the cartoon below it. It's like one of those descriptions of coats of arms.

Poem Composed from Cartoon Descriptions on Cartoonbank.com

I.
Two men stare at an empty space on the ground; another man, smiling, stands next to them.
One executive to others at meeting
Middle-age woman to middle-age man in living room

II.
Cat thinks of a complex equation to get a ball off of a table.
Three cats are curled up napping
One dog talking to another
Cat looking at bottle cap, with thought balloon that says, ‘So-The Diet-Cola Cap Returns To Challenge The Master!’

III.
The seven dwarves depicted as golfers with the names, ‘Slicey,’ ‘Hooky,’ ‘Toppy,’ ‘Trappy,’ ‘MacGuffy,’ ‘Threeputty,’ and ‘Bogey.’
Grant Woods’ ‘American Gothic’ couple dressed in I Love NY t-shirts.
Father rabbit at train station, giving boxed gift to his son who is leaving for college.
Father rabbit at train station, giving boxed gift to his son who is leaving for college.
Father rabbit at train station, giving boxed gift to his son who is leaving for college.
Two men stare at an empty space on the ground; another man, smiling, stands next to them.

This surely deserves a thread of its own.

It's April 2007 in the New Yorker.

Bring back the Boston Raggett.
lol

― calstars, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:06 (eighteen years ago)

That's the one. Can anyone explain what it really means, assuming it's not alluding to Ned?

― Rockist Scientist, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:33 (eighteen years ago)

*befuddled* It's not like I'm the only Ned in the world!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:35 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not even the only one on this board!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:36 (eighteen years ago)

I. I am the NED thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Greenspun, out of the house of bondage.
II. Thou shalt have no other Neds before me.

― Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:39 (eighteen years ago)

Anyway, "by Ned" is one of those idiomatic expressions that crops up here and there; I've heard other variants. I remember being surprised when in an MST episode someone in the film in question complains that his boss was going to 'raise Ned' with him. My then-housemate Jake had a similar moment of 'uh' when in another episode some character says re: radar equipment working well that 'everything was Jake.' Just the way language works.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:42 (eighteen years ago)

You are the only Ned on this board who has a very nice blue tie.

― aimurchie, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:45 (eighteen years ago)

Hahahaha :D

― Trayce, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

Poor Ned and his tie.

― Trayce, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

*shakes head* Oh you dear dear dear deluded people. But I love you all.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 04:02 (eighteen years ago)

How come people never photoshop you anymore? It is the only reason I come to ILX, to be seduced by you :(.

― 0_0, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 04:08 (eighteen years ago)

I assumed that "by Ned" was a variant of "by George."

― jaymc, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 20:05 (eighteen years ago)

what about the smiling guy to the right-hand side?

― remy bean, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 20:08 (eighteen years ago)

He's the body that moved, innit? (It looks like something I would've drawn in fifth grade.)
