The guys all had trunks on, though, didn't they?

I'd have marked if the Blob said "snack attack, mother fucker!"

The "History of the DC Universe" is still a disappointment. They're just retelling the pre-Crisis history, not sorting out any post-IC continuity glitches.

Patton, The Longest Day, and Tora! Tora! Tora! were NOT just released this week.

There were 2 topless scenes in the movie.

SOLID! Solid as a rock...

I could have sworn Best Buy's been selling this forever, and for less money.

Phoenix didn't run around in lingerie during the origin story. That was part of the Dark Phoenix Saga, after she was brainwashed by Mastermind and the Hellfire Club.

Is it just my imagination, or did Cheetara run around topless in the first episode of Thundercats?

I was wondering how they were going to handle that. I don't think a movie audience would buy that an extraterrestrial energy being would choose to impersonate an Earth woman. Of course, before 1986, everyone DID think that Phoenix was a corrupted Jean Grey. Oh yes, and fuck the X-Men cartoon. While it was cool that entire scenes were lifted right out of the comics, the way the Phoenix Saga was ended is absolute bullshit.

Do you still hand-crank your car, too?

Lloyd Bentsen was also a Secretary of the Treasury, and he defeated George H.W. Bush in the Texas 1970 US Senate election. Also Kerry > Dukakis.

There's no budget money for magic because the Christian Right runs the school board.

Oh, yeah... Worst X-Men character: Marrow

I never remember them giving an exact age for Colossus. In fact, in an issue of the OHOTMU published after they broke up, it said he was still a teenager (Deluxe Edition, Issue 3, page 10, Feb. 1986).

The Kane one just fucking floored me. Nice work.

That floored me.

Computers and educational videos serve can serve can meet a need in the curriculum. Cell phones are a convenience item which were first popularized so you could call for help if your car broke down or (ironically) if you were in an accident while driving.

Because it rarely happens at your school, that's hardly indicative of the rest of the nation. But most kids don't need to take 20 trains to school.

Nothing, from the sound of it. NYC schools might be a special circumstance given the transportation issues involved, but the rest of the country doesn't have those kinds of problems.

If Avengers Disassembled/New Avengers is exhibit 1 towards Bendis being a shit writer, then "The Pulse" is exhibit 2 towards Bendis being a shit writer. It's even worse than Alias, what with the fact that Bendis turned Spider-Man and his entire Daily Bugle supporting staff into impotent, cowardly pussies just so he can have his Mary Sue and Gary Sue characters Jessica Jones and Luke Cage single-handedly bring Norman Osborn to justice for all of his crimes and vile acts against Spiderman and his supporting cast as the Green Goblin, complete with Luke Cage of all fucking people unmasking Norman as GG...... Tell me that didn't really happen. That's what happened. Of course, for sanity reasons I also left out the part where Bendis also had Norman Osborn kill a Lois Lane stand-in named after the various actresses who played Lois on film, supposedly as a fuck you to DC over DC telling Bendis's buddy Mark Millar they'd never let him write a Superman book after yet another public bitchfest from Millar regarding how the Superman marriage was evil and how if DC had any balls, they'd give control over the Superman franchise to him so he can erase it from canon.... I think I remember reading about Millr's ideas for Superman in a Wizard issue a few years ago. I seemed like he just wanted to take Superman back to the traditional status quo. Which would be fine except for the idea that Superman would wait years to win over Lois Lane as Clark instead of moving on to the millions of other eligible women who'd fuck Clark Kent in a heartbeat, given he's a famous journalist and just as good looking as Superman.

I think you missed the part of the coversation where I revealed what I did for a living.

Unless you visited a random sampling of schools and kept a record of every time a cell phone rang, then did the necessary mathematical calculations to convert those findings into a statistical average, its a made-up statistic.

I typed in "The Smart Marks" and got redirected to "Smarks". I ain't no fucking smark.

Made-up statistics are my favorite kind. I've already given all kinds of reason to ban cell phones that have nothing to do with them ringing in class, although that does happen quite frequently in my grad school classes. It never happens at my day job, though. You know why? BECAUSE WE BANNED CELL PHONES.
