Can I get you to take a stand on this issue, Kep?
Sure. But I have no where to put it...can I pick it up tomorrow?

no experienced letter would scream "AHHHHHHHHHHH". it's a terribly difficult sound effect to letter, because of all the boring parallel lines. you have to screw with each individual letter to get any kind of sense of agitation.
and although a human scream may sound like "AHHHH", it does not communicate on the page as well as some other options.
yet another lesson that we're dealing with a visual medium, and fidelity to how things sound may be true to fact, but ignores the larger truth of a visual medium evoking an audial cue.
"ARGH" is far better. it gives you some diagonals to play with.
only Garth Ennis uses "AHHHHHHHHH" consistently. i wish he would stop.
do not scream "AHHHHHHHH" again.

Note to self...never scream around Clem. :D
i'm feeling a bit better. VERY difficult work the last couple of days on a project. GREAT stuff...but damn difficult. Sadly, it's not ending quite yet...so yeah, I may scream again.

I scream:
"DOO-DOO BUTT POOPY!!"
When I go into battle.
Scares the shit out of my foes.
