Unusually, it was the first panel that really got me giggling this time. Although really this is such a superb strip it's hard to pick just one panel. In fact I'm worried the other panels may start to feel sleighted. Why does firefox spellchecker object to "sleighted"? Why does it object to "firefox" and "spellchecker"?
And the smoking jacket returns once AGAIN! I do approve. But did this latest adventure ruin it?... We will see whether the hot wing sauce stains smoking jackets as badly as it did Scott's face.
Did anyone notice the "wing sauce handprint" on Scott's head? Did he put it there slapping his own head? or did Ric put it there slapping him? Will we ever know.....?
And as requested, can we have the 3rd panel without the captions? In color!?
Only one thing scares me, the obvious hot wing sauce hand mark on on your head. Perhaps the facepalm reaction when Rick bought Mediterranean Avenue, with gusto!
The best (and, from what I've heard, most authentic) wing sauce I've had is simply Frank's Red Hot pepper sauce mixed with melted butter - so yes, having it all over one's face would be painful. And staining.
My own experiences with unbridled hedonism have been more rewarding, but less entertaining.
Panel 3 reminds me of past forays into unbridled hedonism involving members of the opposite sex, 'nuff said. Sadly, I have reached the age where the annoyance of the messiness outweighs the pleasure of the hedonism. Sigh.

3rd panel, best thing ever. Love this comic. Keep up the awesome.
Oh man... This is great. I'm totally doing this.
my tastebuds fell off once. Its ok, they grow back.
I love that simmering expression on Scott's face in panel 4 every time I see it. Possibly almost as much as I like "pointy finger Scott".
Also, I wouldn't be at all surprised if wing sauce stains permanently. That stuff is vile.
At least he's not wallowing in reserved, dignified remorse.
You say "In order to stay sane we must occasionally cut loose." Are you implying that you and Rik are sane?
That...does seem to be how it usually goes.
Best comic yet!
Large, golden, dollar-sign necklaces should be mandatory for all Monopoly players. I will be investing in mine next paycheck.
Love the post, Scott, but forever on your graphic from the 4th block will forever be called "Remorseful Scott".
I choose moderation, but with gusto.
Remove all captions on panel 3.
Wow! Is this the mother of all continuity problems? Is this a moment in time that we are witnessing?
Is Basic Instructions undergoing an epoch change? BUH and AUH (before Unbridled Hedonism and after Unbridled Hedonism)?
Hmmm....are you going to use the weasel word "maybe" to get out of this situation?
Surely not!
I'll be Scott and Ric feel like having some apple cobbler right about that fourth panel.
"We're wallowing in unbridled remorse." - Scott you may owe me a new keyboard - as I now have ice tea on this one... from my nose...
And I now have a Monopoly catch phrase.
One of my favourite strips.
all of the panels are excellent, the lines and drawings and all. Keep it up!!
With Gusto!
I'm always laughing when I read this comic, keep it up!
Panel three. That is all.
What i find so incredibly awesome and hilarious about this comic is how plausible this situation is between two friends
Ok there has to be a good story behind this one.
There's a down for every up!
Time for some unbridled normality?

I love the poses in the third panel. Please release that image without the word balloons as a desktop!
I am wallowing in unbridled first post. With gusto!
This is almost too perfect.
hahahaha love this strip... so clever and so tempting
"maybe permanently" - genius!

I am wallowing in the sheer unbridled hedonism of a comic about wallowing in sheer unbridled hedonism!
It's too much!
Hedonism Rick is so gangsta.
Awesome!! You seriously make me laugh every time I read a new one. Or an old one.
LOL, love it!
SMOKING JACKET!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

Ahhh, the 3rd panel is made of win. With lolsauce on top.
Awesome as usual Scott

You know it, baby. ;D
