Lo, There Shall Be A Post-A-Thon!

...if I have to drag you kicking and screaming, even.

I know you guys are used to me kicking and screaming, so I'm adding the dragging for variety. Because I CARE.

I'm ready and raring to go anytime.

Have at it.

(penis)

Lardy's so subdued. I wonder if he is ill?

(bewbz)

I think I need to kick the site's server. S o s l o w.

Oh, X-Factor, X-Factor,
How I miss you already
Your quality went up and down
Though sales were steady
When Peter Allen David
Gets a new assignment
I shall be eager and ready

Heh. "Peter".

Ha! I remember when there was still the buzz over who the 5th member of X-Factor would be. There was a whole thing in Marvel Age. Someone guessed Dazzler, can't remember what their reasoning was for that one.

If a guy named Peter is a school principal, does that make the Peter Principle the Principal Peter Principle?

And just how principled is Principal Peter in the first place?

And is his last name Piper, as in "picked a pack of pickled peppers?"

Actually, from what I've heard, Dazzler WAS originally supposed to be the fifth member. Then Kurt Busiek opened his big mouth and planted the seed that led to the return of Jean Grey.

When did the "original X-men" tease come into play? If someone got Dazz from that, I don't know how.

Sorry to say I ditched my Marvel Ages...ages ago.

Speaking of Ali and Marvel Age...

According to Sean Howe's "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story" (great book, BTW), Bob Layton & Jackson Guice proposed uniting the original four male X-Men plus Dazzler, whose title was about to be cancelled.

Howe credits the idea for bringing Jean Grey back to an anyonymous fan who approached Roger Stern. But I distinctly remember John Byrne saying it was Busiek's idea.

Anyhow, the best X-Factor ever was was during Peter David's year-and-a-half run on Volume 1. Mayo jars! Rahne dreaming that she's Ren and Feral is Stimpy! Doc Samson guest starring! Guido cracking wise! Hulk cross-over! And so much more!

But was there accordion music?

Well...there WAS a parody of Ren & Stimpy's "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song that went:

Mutant Mutant
Angst Angst
Mutant Mutant
Angst Angst

Oh, those 70s.

Remember the Young Justice story in which it turns out that Hell is where the 70s never ended?

Did comics stay at the 70s prices?

Ah.

Point well taken.

Peter David just has some kind of beef with the 70s. In one of his "But I Digress" columns he said something to the effect of, "My friend told me she was throwing a '70s Party.' And I asked her, 'What was there in the 70s that's worth reviving?'"

Remember when twenty bucks would buy you like A MILLION COMICS?

Yeah.

Teeds, I'm getting tired, I'm going to have to call it a night. It was great fun, though. I hope we have another post-a-thon soon. Thanks a lot.

Would you be satisfied with a punching bag, with a piece of paper with the word "Photoshop" typed on it? That'd make for some pretty good kicking!

I was once criticized on a Lord of the Rings forum for posting in bright pink. I know it wasn't exactly becoming of a future Dark Queen of Middle-Earth, but what are you supposed to do when most of the other colors are taken?

Just let it roll off your back, Emily. Some people have nothing better to do than to criticize others unfairly.

I didn't feel like folding cloths. Washing them should be enough. The rest is cultural dogma. I dumped them in the middle of the floor.

I get the reference, but more importantly, I got Doritos (same hue as David's hair) at the store earlier.

Personally, I prefer those little Pepperidge Farm goldfish pretzels to Doritos. In fact, I had some earlier today.

I also got pretzels! Honey Wheat Rold Gold, though.

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, aha, honey, honey, mmmm, ba, ba, ba

There used to be a Pepperidge Farm store at the outlet store across the state line. Walls and walls of cookies. Miss that place.

I didn't buy any cookies. I figure that guy will be bringing some around soon.

I haven't had cookies today, but I've had lots of chocolate. Love those miniature Twix.

Oh, hang on a minute, Twix is part cookie. So I guess I have had cookies today.

Me too! I found one last mini one (from the packs of six) in the junk drawer!

This thread made me hungry, so I just came back from having more chocolate.

I polished off the last of the Oreos™ yesterday.

If only they had a delivery truck...

Ah, Cleome, I see you're not only a fellow MSTie, but also a fellow cookie conniseur.

But of course.

To be honest, I only do the Oreo™ in its original permutation. (Or maybe the Minis if I want an ice cream topping. I don't really see the point of half the cookie aisle being taken up by one cookie that gets minor alterations. ("Birthday Cake" Oreos™? Seriously?)

I'm with you on that. I miss the days when cookie aisles had more variety.

It's rare for me that some store-bought cookie could ever compare to fresh-baked. Nothing better than oatmeal-raisin cookies that aren't baked too hard!

That said, I find Subway's cookies really hit the spot, especially their double chocolate! The grocery store I work at also has some delectable cookies baked in its deli.

Teleportation, Lo!

Double chocolate...mmmm...and I also love the chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips.

I'm actually a Hydrox fan. They were the original. Oreo came four years later. They had better marketing and a less silly name. I miss Hydrox.

"Hydrox" sounds like a chemical you put in the pool. Yecch! (not that I wouldn't have tried one of the cookies if offered.)

I was at a party one time where they served Oreos that were dipped in a more expensive chocolate coating. Kind of a fascinating experience.

I had fried Oreos at the fair last Spring. I think we went to see an Alabama concert.

I think I prefer non fried Oreos ... I still like to screw them open and lick the filling before I eat the cookie like a child.

...

My favorite oatmeal cookies are the Maida Heatter "freezer dough" ones that I slice ultra thin so they emerge from the oven super-crisp. More like wafers than traditional oatmeal cookies. I also use dried cranberries in them instead of raisins.

Vive la difference!

Crispy on the edges is best.

And we've reached...POST NUMBER ONE-HUNDRED!!!!

(Even though it's technically the 101st post.)

By the 200th post, I should have my treatise completed regarding the superiority of Tastykake™ over Hostess™.

I look forward to it. I loooooove Tastykake products.

Can't get 'em out here unless you buy online...

That explains why I've stayed on the East Coast, in spite of all the negative aspects. Suddenly it all makes sense...

Indeed. The problem isn't even that they must be bought online, but that you kind of need to buy half a truckload to justify the shipping costs.

Nobody in my house needs to be left alone with half a truckload of Krimpets™.

One box every couple of months is probably plenty.

Oh, these just keep getting better and better.

No wonder he has to bend his leg like that. If he moved it just a little bit straighter, he'd be hitting himself with his hammer.

Hey Thor. Maybe you should bludgeon Loki instead huh?

Perhaps he's twirling the hammer in an attempt to get a single cloud onto the cover. No one will believe he's the god of thunder otherwise.

He's welcome to bring in some clouds over here. Could use some relief from the shade.

He'll relieve you all right, by the look of that cover.

meanwhile outside the room, the tester is oblivious to the the concept of delayed gratification when it comes to herself and is stuffing her face with the rest of a giant packet of mallows.

Those kids were right. You can't trust those lousy adults.

especially the ones talking to you with a mouthful of mallows.

I never did like marshmallows. I prefer chocolate chips or rainbow sprinkles.

There's a traditional Fall side dish popular in some parts of the U.S. It features peeled yams or sweet potatoes cut up and baked with browned marshmallows. I don't care for it personally, being a Yankee. I think it's more of a Southern tradition.

Yams or sweet potatoes sans marshmallows are delicious, though. (I never peel them before eating.)

Over here we fry and caramelize them. But then, we do that with almost everything! Bananas, mangos... Filipino food can be pretty bad for you, but it sure is tasty.

Not much of a mallow fan myself either. A bit of toblerone on that plate wouldn't have lasted until she got to the door. That gives me 14 minutes to leave the room and hunt down the rest of it, eat nearly all of it, and return with a replacement bit.

I also prefer crispy or crunchy desserts to chewy ones. I'm partial to Nestle Crunch, Ferrero and KitKat for chocolate.

They changed the ferrero advertising as they felt that people wouldn't connect to them being served at embassy functions. Can't imagine why.

I had Tastykake for the first time yesterday. They're really good!

Brrr, voodoo. I've seen pictures of the voodoo fetish markets in Benin. They're certainly very interesting.

Perhaps the movie was the frightful thing in Filbert's future, which is now in Filbert's past.

I thought filbert were those nuts that are always the last ones you eat from the mixed nut tin?

I asked Filbert about his past. But he said it was frightful and didn't want to talk about it. He did say he knew I was going to ask about his frightful past. So perhaps Filbert's frightful future was reliving his frightful past. Twice. Firstly with the premonition that a frightful person would ask about his frightful past, and secondly when a frightful person asked about his frightful past.

Why are we talking about Filbert? Shouldn't we also be talking about Rocko?

What is she burning?

Are they on a pink marshmallow sugar high?

Stop her! That's the "How to survive on deserted islands" pamphlet she's burning!

Is that a fire, or a really groovy lava lamp?

It looks like a plant to me.

There certainly are a lot of plants with similar colors.

What's with the broom? To sweep off the dirt on those nice yellow gloves?

Never bring a broom to a shadow puppet fight.

You wait your turn Commissioner! It's this young gent's turn to assume the position. Adjust my glove for me Zatara, I'm going in.

With no Infinity Inc,JLA or Obsidian, Nuklon faced hard times and difficult lifestyle choices.

Aside from witchcraft/wizardry, do brooms have adequate representation in comicdom?

I suspect Ma Hunkel may have wielded a broom on occasion!

You obviously missed that classic from thirty two years ago, Broom Broom, Baby! where a gust of wind Swept Everyone Away.

Pics or it didn't happen!

OK, so I HAD to post this because I have listening to it all day. But which Post-A-Thon? I considered the other one because the title sounds like gambling, right, and that Across The Street deal is the vice-laden business. Plus, you know, Phil Collins.

But I heard "In The Air Tonight" was inspired by that Skipper Skræk cover, so here it be.

She used the broom when she was going after teenage criminals. The frying pan was too harsh for them.

Pls. refer to Cavalcade thread for frying pan covers. (OF COURSE there are frying pan covers.)

Lo. Lo. Lo.

Thanks for sharing the video, Fanfie. Not familiar with R.E.M., but I am now intrigued.

You're welcome, Ibby.

Any of their first eight albums is a must-hear, although I have to admit that other than Life's Rich Paegent, Out of Time, and Automatic for the People, all of which I loved straightaway, they take several listens to digest.

This isn't a Lo, it's a Low. But you can listen anyway, it won't hurt you.

I can't think of Blur without thinking of the love triangle between the lead singers of Blur, Elastica, and Suede.

The girl in the red dress must be getting an earache from standing so close to the guy's violin!

But what about the f-hole joke?

I confess I missed that joke. Those kind of things go over one's head when one is still a lapsed-Catholic prude at heart.

There ya go confessing.

And here's the dirt.

Great Hera!

Did the Black Widow...kill this thread????

I have come to help resurrect it!

Much appreciated, Ibby.

We all know that the Widow is a hardened spy, so she might try to kill it again.

This isn't the Uncle Ben Post-A-Thon.

Yeah, but Scarlett is so awesome I couldn't resist.

She can keep killin' it.

It'll just come back is all.

So it's a zombie thread, then?

More like Blattodea.

I'll have to Google that one.

EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!

I loathe roaches.

I thought Blattodea was some kind of exotic mystical thing.

Eat hot lead, Blattodea:

What about that Lannister cousin who likes to squish beetles?

I'd rather Booster Gold get squashed, myself.

I used to find Booster mildly annoying, but his series gave me some respect for him.

His series had the opposite effect on me. It made me hate him more than ever.

I'm, if not fond of Booster then, accepting of him. I think his original character being a bit selfish but generally ending doing the right thing added a bit of welcome variety to DC's personalities.

To paraphrase Wonder Woman in Kingdom Come, they can't all be billionaires or be super-speed journalists.

Later, post crisis Flash would get paid to do a lot of his hero work. Then he won the lottery (naturally)

The last run I read some of had him become an indispensable hero so he could then reject membership in the JLA. That was pretty poorly done from what my memory cell tells me.

^^Funnily enough, Thoth and I were talking about 80s German electronic pop group Propaganda in another thread.

That poor girl is aghast at the mindless, self-serving propaganda being spouted by politicians.

Yes, and so is Propaganda frontwoman Claudia Brucken.

You learn 'em nasty politicians, Claudia!

^^What imaginary thing is the woman in the red dress holding?

She's actually cupping my invisible... jewels.

Are you standing...erect?

Why yes, proper posture is very important after all!

It's not at all hard to achieve if you practice.

Indeed. Just make sure to stand erect as often as you can! If things restrain you, just cast them off!

In Xana-doo-doo did Kubla Khan a restroom stall construct.

He doesn't like urinals. They allow you to peek.

Non Sequitor was served a urinal cake with a candle for his birthday.

Oops, wrong thread!

Non Sequitor forgives you. He fondly remembers the urinal cake and the tasty yellow icing.

That makes even ME barf.

But I forgive you, Ibby.

Oh my. It looks like the pee is worse than the poop. Thanks for forgiving me, Fanfie!

You're welcome, Ibby.

Let's clean up this thread, I think Teeds would appreciate that.

I'll get the mop.

I will start scrubbing!

That is one sinister-looking mop.

Any more sinister than this one?

Mopsy must be desperate -- she actually goes after a guy who doesn't even know how to tuck a handkerchief in his jacket pocket.

Oh, that one definitely takes the cake.

And smashes it into some poor kid's face. After lacing it with spinach juice.

I recently read Jill Lepore's fascinating book "The Secret Origin of Wonder Woman", which explores the way William Marston was inspired by the women around him, and by early 20th Century feminism in general. I've never considered myself a feminist, but this book gave me a lot to think about.

Oh, and Robert Kanigher comes off very badly in that book.

The Glop rocks!

Was the Glop separated at birth from Mr. Bubble?

I think she kind of goes in circles over one single point, but basically I agree with her.

But, really, isn't that the inevitable outcome once women realize they don't need us?

The Anima will always need the Animus, and vice versa.

Er... yes! Keep believing that!

This bisexual woman would gladly join you in bashing Dan DiDio, Geoff Johns, and Jim Lee.

Anyhoo, after all the man murdering, this thread will have a crossover with the Titans board.

And then, shortly after that, a crossover with my JLA on Paradise Island fanfic...which...um...I haven't finished writing yet. But now I have incentive!

(Shameless self-promoter, moi?)

Are there bubbles? Or Mr. Bubble?

Wait, do we gotta murder Mr. Bubble?

There's Gypsy's bubbly personality.

OK you all, I'm off for a Cheetos and hot dog and THE OFFICE break, but rest assured I'll be back VERY soon!

I'm in between eps of the sopranos season 6 while making a fresh g&t, but I shall also be back throughout the night.

Buddy movie with Sugyn.

They could both fall in love with Infectious Lass.

Despite being such a lapsed Hindu myself, I find reincarnation to be such an interesting concept. In many ways, the "recycling" of souls almost seems very scientific and logical despite being heavily linked to spirituality, essentially an "energy can be neither created nor destroyed" concept for religion if you will.

I find the concept interesting as well. The Wheel of Time series used a similar concept.

I never knew clocks could get angry!

On the other hand, one of my favorite Pink Panther cartoons, "In the Pink of the Night", had him feuding with a cuckoo. At the end, they both make nice and go to sleep together. And at the very end, the cuckoo smashes the alarm clock, and the Panther pets him in gratitude.

It's hard to go wrong with the classics, like Lehrer. [bows]

BTW, I was on another board where there were daily song challenges, and one of the prompts was "Birds." Someone found a version of "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" which had a string quartet playing backup. They related a story where one musician reviewed the music beforehand and said, "Oh, what a charming and lovely waltz!" But then they heard the lyrics and almost fainted.

Some days I really do love the internet.

I have a lot of albums in my collection that I don't share with guests, because the arrangements are so easy on the years yet the lyrics are so deeply disturbing.

A couple years ago, Elvis Costello ambivalently accepted an honour from the Queen of England. He made it clear that the irony hadn't escaped him that the monarchy was rewarding him for a catalogue of songs mostly about how England has been turning to sh*t for decades!

I think around Christmas, I was watching Albert Finney's version of Dickens and noting from his obituary that he turned down a knighthood. That was interesting.
