Do I eat chinese food? Do I eat a cheesesteak? Do I eat mexican food? Do I eat an all-American sandwich of some type? What about a torta? Or some wings. I want to eat everything.

Haha there's been like half a dozen times I've wanted to post a pic of Katamari king to zing someone...

You *are* very cranky today

I have a great Jimmy Carter story:

When JC was running for President, I was seven and we had a neighbour kid who was allergic to everything and twitchy as hell, and so was the subject of much teasing. His parents were a former nun and seminarian who'd run away from convent/seminary together and settled into hippydom next door to us (because of their children's allergies, barley, carob and goat's milk featured heavily, and none of us could handle that). Their child wrote to JC during his campaign saying 'if you get angry at people teasing you, just count five silently to yourself and it will pass.' After Carter won, the whole family were invited to the inauguration, but as poor hippies had to wait until local businesses chipped in to send them.

So rather early in life I believed politicians responded to 'normal' people as a matter of course, and it's all Jimmy Carter's fault!

Unruffled, I waited it out at the bar, and then finished my martini, thinking, 'Go ahead, kill me, but if you spill one drop of this, so help me God I'll...'

just start a motherfucking new party so I can respect you, Dennis. Raising "your issues" in the Dem field does nothing in the "who gro$$ed more ca$h" world of Barry and Rodham.

-- Dr Morbius, Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:22 AM (2 weeks ago) Bookmark Link

good thing he used those dollar signs in place of S's in the words "grossed" and "cash," or I wouldn't have figured out that he was talking about money.

"just start a motherfucking new party so I can respect you, Dennis"

hell, why not -- that's exactly what he went into politics to achieve.

You're a dick.

xp

and hahaha, yer in Ballimor

is that in scotland

no, they talk funny in Balt -- all that oral sex

Not ever no never no more will I trust the elves of Ballimor.

AND THUS THE THREAD COMES FULL CIRCLE

Morbz, I was being nice by not putting your dollar sign post in the Custos thread.

whatev that is

he said nervously

AND THUS THE THREAD COMES FULL CIRCLE

don't wanna disappoint, lol

the flukeman does eerily resemble the poor kid with that disease though. i wonder if they used that disease as a reference when making the creature.

do u actually have a ref on that disease

It's a pretty good film for one that's hyperbolically obsessed over by aspies.

I remember thinking that the use of the word "cool" in early search engines was sort of, well, if not entirely transgressive, then at least indicative of a new paradigm where informal language was encouraged.

Emma Frost had been cool with the X-Men for a while -- she and Banshee ran the X-affiliated Massachusetts Academy in Generation X through the 90s. Grant was the first to have her formally join the X-Men, though.

During the time Morrison was on the book, the characters more or less fell into this pattern of custody:

Morrison on New X-Men: Cyclops, Jean, Emma, Wolverine, Beast, Xavier, Magneto/Xorn

Claremont on X-Treme X-Men: Storm, Rogue, Gambit, Kitty Pryde, Cannonball, some other characters who really don't matter at all.

Joe Casey, and then Chuck Austen on Uncanny X-Men: Nightcrawler, Angel, Iceman, Havok, Polaris, some other characters that really don't matter.

Rogue is indeed totally convoluted now, but even though Mike Carey has complicated her even more so, I think he's also brought her back to her original appeal quite a bit in the time he's been on X-Men.

As of right now (ie, during Messiah Complex, though not necessarily after it), these are the X-Men: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Wolverine, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Storm, Nightcrawler, Charles Xavier, Warpath, Caliban, Iceman, Angel, Cannonball, and Hepzibah.

Rogue is currently abducted by the Marauders, who also include ex-X-Men Gambit, Sunfire, Mystique, Lady Mastermind, and Omega Sentinel (who is possessed by Malice.)
