    Crisis On Infinite Earths

    I remember reading an 8 pager (in an annual, I think) once that basically described Barry travelling back in time like you said. But in this his journey ends as he becomes the bolt of lightning that turns him into the Flash in the first place...

    Crisis On Infinite Earths

    Well, Crisis did fix continuity... until DC decided to reboot various titles at different times, beginning with Superman. They had John Byrne rewrite Superman's origin, and as a result, Supes was now the sole survivor of Krypton - a good thing - but didn't become Superman until adulthood (a la lois and Clark), which was not so much a good thing, as now Superboy didn't exist, and never existed. Which screwed up the Legion of Super-Heroes, as Superboy was a full member in the 30th century. So they had to retcon that. Lex Luthor was also now more Kingpin than Doc Ock. Later on, they rebooted Wonder Woman, which caused her appearances in the old Justice League and Justice Society comics to actually be Black Canary. More recently, they retconned that to be Diana's mother as the Wonder Woman of that era, so I supposed that was fixed. So anyways, post-Crisis was still a cluster, and DC took advantage of the mega-crossover era to try and again fix everything with Zero Hour. With Zero Hour, they tried to fix everything (again), and this time had EVERY title produce a #0 comic to explain their new continuity. The titles that probably benifitted the most were the Legion titles, which were completely rebooted and started over (easy to do when you're talking about Y3K. Anyways, I did some looking around and this site seems to be a good starting point to find out about Zero Hour and Crisis.

    The Perfect Pop Song

    My current "Perfect" pop song is "Dancing In The Moonlight" by Toploader. Take 1 Van Morrison song, BritPop it up and there you go.

    Last Comic Standing 2!

    I think he'd have to tone down the self-depreciation, but then he'd come off as more of a Steven Wright clone. But you're right - 22 minutes of "Thank you's" and "This is death" would get old around 4 minutes in...
  6. I hear ya. So with that in mind... - Chris Chelios - Tie Domi - Bonds - Clemens - Rickey - Venus Williams (because I like Serena's play) - Mike Tyson - Kobe - Iverson - Terrell Owens - Warren Sapp - Kurt Warner - Eli Manning (you know, I really need to trade Tiki Barber in my keeper league...) - Anna Kournikova (hey, with Sharapova around, who needs her?) - Tony Twist (you were a goon, not some goal scoring angel. McFarlane cost you nothing, and probably gave you more publicity than you deserve. Deal with it) - Don Cherry (not an athlete, but, GO AWAY, GRAPES) - d also like Brett Hull to retire, but not to disappear. I want him to replace Cherry on HNIC...

    All I know is that it'll be funny. Actually any combination of 3 of the 6 that doesn't include Tammy would be funny...

    The Amazing Race 5 Returns

    Chip and Kim are just good people. Plus after reading the Pit Stop clue ("The last team to arrive MAY be eliminated") they probably realized that hindering them wouldn't help any. Colin and Christie are flat out racing well. Taking the FF was smart, even if it looks like they'll get bottlenecked next week. If they don't reach the finish line I'll be very surprised. Like I've said before, I like Charla (when she's not saying she wants to show that she can do things herself), but Mirna is bloody annoying, and quite the liability at times. With that being said, their main problem is that they're slow starters, and while that hasn't hurt them so far, they're going to have to step it up once they're down to 5 teams.

    ESPN 25 best records

    There is some truth to that. Sanders would've easily broken it if he hadn't retired.

    ESPN 25 best records

    If Tiger's there, then Steffi Graf should be there as well. In 1988 she won the Australian, French, Wimbleton, the US Open AND the Olympic gold medal. And then won the Australian in 1989. And she also won a calendar Grand Slam in 1993. 22 Grand Slam titles in all. Hell, it's more impressive than Navratilova or Sampras, I'd think.

    ESPN 25 best records

    Lance Armstrong seems kinda low. Unless they're just looking at the record, and not the fact that the guy beat cancer and won 6 in a row. Bonds is way too high. Sorenstam probably got screwed for something or other, because it's women's golf. Gretzky's 50 goals in 39 games should probably be on there instead of the 92, but 16% of the top 25 ain't too bad.

    The Amazing Race 5 Returns

    If you've seen Beg, Borrow and Deal you know it can be done... B,B&D wasn't set in Egypt though. Might be harder for Americans in other countries to successfully beg for money or stuff. Should be interesting. You're right about that. OK, how about Blake and Paige begging for money in TAR2 after losing their money in South America?
  14. Just curious, but is that Molly in the new Dell commercial?

    Not when there's only two. If you've got the chance, use it. (edit) although, having said that, this is probably a non-elimination leg...

    The Amazing Race 5 Returns

    From what it looks like...a 'miracle' has happened. Looks like they're getting on a flight that'll arrive at the same time most of the others will. And Mr. Intensity has managed to find an even BETTER flight. Good stuff...
