Topic in Comic Books and Literature

[Guest wildpegasus]

There's a topic currently in the Comic Book and Literature foruming dicussing a topic that I think everyone has talked about at least once in our lives. Who'd win a fight? If you matched this superhero against this supervillan what would happen? Spiderman vs Batman? Whoever vs whoever? Now since the Literachure forum doesn't get as much traffic as some of the other forums here I thought I'd alert everyone on what was going on. Really, this thread is begging to be a long classic thread with some interesting discussion. Feel free to share your opinion.

 

 

Edit -- What I want to do is get the thread going in the Comics and Literachure forum since that one has alredy started up.

William Faulkner would totally kick Albert Camus' ass.

Bullshit. Faulkner is such a fag.

A Southern drunk that beat his wife on a regular basis vs. a pretentious French fop. The winner is obv.

Literature vs. Literachure-Who wins in a shoot? EDIT: This looked really clever at first, but I waited seven minutes to post this and now AoO has beaten me to it. Damnit.

 

Seriously, though, you're right. I can remember in 1st grade, sitting around at lunch and discussing Freddy vs. Jason (only had to wait ten years to settle that one) and all the other horror icons in a battle royale. That one has almost as much steam as a Superhero vs. Superhero discussion. Let's start there. We have Freddy, Jason, Myers, Leatherface, and anyone else you like. They're in an enviroment where they can all use their powers (well, those that have powers) and are all fully equipped. I'd give Jason the duke, even though I'm a bigger Freddy fan. Leatherface is sloppy and human. Myers is almost as unstoppable as Jason, but nowhere near as creative. He also can't take punishment like Jason can. It would come down to Freddy and Jason again, even though if Freddy had his dream powers, I'm at a loss to explain how Jason could get by him...maybe I was wrong.

Really? I didn't know about the wife-beating part. Alright, I change my mind. Faulkner isn't a fag.

I'm just guessing on the wife beating. Isn't that what Southern drunks do?

hemingway would kill faulkner with his bare hands.

 

and faulkner couldn't keep a wife long enough to start beating her.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Only pussies commit suicide.

[godthedog 0]

speaking of which (sort of)...

 

a female friend of mine was going around telling everybody "happy bloomsday!" and when she got to this guy she has a horrible crush on and said "isn't this a cool ass day?" he said "yes, it's the anniversary of the day my father committed suicide."

She's an English major, I'm guessing. We're all horrible dorks.

Two questions:

 

1) What's Bloomsday? and

 

2) How did the girl respond? I sympathize with her, how is she supposed to know about that, and why does the guy just have to bring it up to her since (I'm guessing) he probably doesnt know her?

 

My philosophy teacher's grandfather used to party with Ernest Hemingway, among a few other big name literary giants. He used to throw parties all the time. I don't remember all the names, that's the only one that sticks out.

Mark Twain is the Ali of writing.

I don't know. Get married and then tell us.

she is, but i had to tell her that it was bloomsday, and i had to tell her about the nora handjob story. so it's more because of me she told him than because of her english majorness.

 

1) What's Bloomsday? and

'ulysses', by james joyce, is an 800-page novel that accounts the day of june 16, 1904 in the life of leopold bloom (among other people) in dublin, ireland. hence, june 16 of every year is celebrated as bloomsday. a friend of mine told me that, since it's the 100th anniversary, celebrations in dublin are going on for four months. joyce is a big deal with the dubliners. and with the dorks in the western hemisphere (especially ones with irish heritage, like myself).

 

2) How did the girl respond? I sympathize with her, how is she supposed to know about that, and why does the guy just have to bring it up to her since (I'm guessing) he probably doesnt know her?

she does know him, they're friends. i'm not sure how she exactly responded, she just told me she felt like an asshole.

Bukowski would pummel both, and be back at the bar before his ice cubes melted.

 

 

Me and some friends used to talk about who of the movie badasses would win a real fight (Bronson, Bruce Lee, Stallone, Arnold, Chuck Norris, JCVD, Lundgren, etc.) ... oh, the things you think about when you're way too high.
