OM, when a casual fan of punk rock attempts to explain to me that 'blah blah blah, the sex pistols were so great, blah blah blah', what should be my reaction? I've already tried murder and robbery.
OM, should Cobie be arrested for the attempted murder of a punk rock fan, or would it justifiable homicide?
OM, when invading a foreign country should one bring red wine or white wine?

Murder's a bit extreme. Simple castration should suffice.

It's not attempted murder if he succeeded.

Depends on the country. Iceland, for example, requires a nice chablis, whereas Canada is more like Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Dear OM,
If one were to find one's self in Vancouver without access to primates, would one find that beaver tastes better than moose?

Oh, and are you gonna bring your JSA sketchbook to SD? I feel like I've only seen a handful of your sketches...
What about techno prog?
OM,

If a train leaves Chicago at 9am on the third Tuesday following Lent on the last leap year with partly sunny skies and a 35% chance of a shower but not the type of shower you would find in the lockerroom of the NY Mets who are in a 3 game slump which they hope to rectify by a trade with the Atlanta Braves for a new pitcher in exchange for their first two draft picks and tickets to The Producers, which I haven't seen and probably won't as I like the original movie with Zero Mostel and Geen Wilder and what kind of name is "Zero" anyway, I think the other kids teased him about that name in elementary school which is near the tire fire in Springfield, although we don't know which Springfield because there are so many of them but is not the most popular name for a town (I think) in the US if not the world which does revolve around the sun as Galileo said but was forced to recant - those bastards, not to disparage real bastards who are usually very nice people and it is not like it is their fault that their parents were not married and although less common in the past is more common now, well maybe not but at least not looked upon as the most horrible thing in the world, how many "q"s are in this question?

It seems evil, but is just largely misunderstood. Grape soda exists for those times when you need a caffeine kick but don't want the caramel-colored stuff. It just wants to be loved. Is that so wrong?

Viruses tend to be temperamental, which hides their sensitive and inquisitive natures. They get around a lot, but don't make friends easily. They should marry a Leo or Pisces early, but never a Cancer.

The chicken heart can only be pacified by yours truly. It cannot be truly defeated. The universe will not succumb to entropy, as has long been theorized by scientists. It will succumb to the chicken heart.

OM, I was recently talking to a colleague about the proposed Legion World Lottery. They propose to establish a prize pool from 58% of the revenues of this lottery. 8% will be spent as selling, general & administrative costs while the remaining 34% will be contributed to the Legion World Government General Revenues Pool.

Given that 1) 90% of the revenues for this lottery will come from low income Legion Worlders; 2) the effective marginal tax rate for low-income wage earners on Legion World is 22% and that gambling losses are not deductable from gross income; 3) the exorbitant salary the lottery chairperson will own, Isn't this lottery an onerous tax on probability against the poor people of Legion World, a tax at a rate nearly double the effective marginal rate of taxation of these wage earners to fund the incompetent leadership and line the pockets of their sinecure holding friends?
Why do you bother answering the nonsense they ask, Miner?

As someone who tends to side with the downtrodden, I agree with you that is little more than exploitation of the less fortunate.

Dear OM,

Unless you win the "kill this Thread" thread, we will become your campaign managers and one of us (we won't say which one) will develop a hypothetical crush on you. The others will develop real crushes. (one of which involves 5 tons of pressure)

It's a combination of "do" and "souse", so not only is he accusing you of asking a question that seems "repeticious", but he's accusing you of being drunk in the process.

"Repeticious" itself is a cross between "repetitious" and "delicious" which implies that while he thought your question to be imitative, he was secretly digging it.

Well, given that Karate Kid is a much-beloved fan favorite who was possibly the first Legion member to be given a genuine personality (by Jim Shooter) and that his and Projectra's courtship and marriage is also remembered very fondly by Legion fandom, I have to go with Giffen.

You can't beat the Sun records stuff, though the early RCA material has its strengths as well.

Despite the high concentration of bilge in The King's recorded legacy, there's enough amazing stuff to justify that nickname.

Tell Mittens that I would go with C-4 as it's very stable and very malleable, which is important for someone without opposable thumbs. A detonator will be required, but that should be easy enough to obtain. Also let it know that just burning it will produce toxic fumes, which may accomplish the job while drawing less attention and leaving the property intact.

I believe it wouldn't be too hard to draw a corollary between the rise of the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis partnership in the late '40s, the needs of post-WW2 audiences to find *something* to laugh along to, and the use (starting in 1947) of LSD as a psychiatric drug.

But as far as the French go, I think they just like control freaks.

Hmm. Toughie.

Mighty Mouse beat the Supes movies with the whole turning back time thing, and he figured out early on that cats were evil.

However "Look! Up in the sky!" is just a little bit cooler than "Here I come to save the day".

Bakshi is hipper than Fleischer.

Both are corporate shills. (Thanks, Apple.)

In the end, though, the mouse was created as a parody of Supes, so Superman gets the edge on points.

Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients; mix until batter is smooth and stir in blueberries.

Fold in beaten egg whites. Bake on hot greased griddle.

Probably because 30 and 50 don't equal 40.

(OK. Serious answer: No one is positive, but it probably is taken from the days of the jukebox, which in the '50s generally held about 40 records and the owners of said boxes would fill them with the most popular records in the area. Top 40 radio slots originally meant a broadcast of the records released that week, but eventually adopted a popularity format, which has itself changed over time.)

She's probably a communist. I bet she uses Splenda instead of proper American sugar too.

That said, if it's an auction, the auctioneer will probably tell you if the pie is plain blueberry like God intended or some weird miscegenation of blueberry/coconut.

Because of the negative connotations of the "ice" ending in our culture.

No one wants to live in something called a "hice", and referring to a loved one as a spice is best done in private if at all.

For further examples, see Bo Bice's career.
Miner, I'm deeply concerned that if I adopt a baby girl, she'll grow up and start dating Mel Gibson. My question is this: If Lizatallulah Cher ever does bring Mel home for dinner in order to meet her two dads, what would be the best way to handle this awkward and uncomfortable situation?

Slow-acting tranquilizers in the meatloaf would probably work fine.

Presuming you still want Liza Cher to talk to you afterwards, I'd suggest just playing cool and staying on your best behavior and being as polite as possible instead. I also suggest you practice laughing at things that are in no way funny, because Mel will probably try to tell jokes.

Also, special credit for every ad featuring a celeb who likely doesn't need the money.

I would like to be remembered as someone who spent his life helping the less fortunate, who always had a kind word for other people, and who strove to make this world a better place everyday.

It could happen.

I thought it would be super great FUN! to dress up as one of my Legion World compadres this coming Halloween. With that in mind, how I can best capture the look and/or essence of the following members?

It's an all-ages board, so I can't repeat it here. Let's just say it involves a man of Polish descent, an underage girl, and a federal offense.

So, it's a tie between that and "Palin 2012".

You need to get out more.

Failing that, I'll try to help you here:

Kent - corduroys. Shirts with collars, but keep the first two buttons unbuttoned. Sleep in them for three nights straight before going out. Don't shave.

Quiz - fishnets and a top hat. No, wait, that's Zatanna. Just the fishnets, then.

Rocky - A true class act. Rent a tux, then rub dog hair into it.

Miner - Doesn't matter, as long as you're drunk.

No. This is a common misconception.

C does not stand for comics, it stands for Continuity. The Mass in this case is the amount of comics you own, and the E represents ennui. Do the math.

No.

Given that The Shot Heard Round The World was heard during the Revolutionary War, the death of Archduke Ferdinand, and more sports events than I care to mention, and that none of that makes obvious sense, I detect the hand of Grant Morrison in this.

All that occult stuff appears to be working. If we ever do meet aliens, and somebody refers to it as TSHRTW or some variant, we'll know.

I'll just say this: Buckwheat saw it coming, and took it stoically. More than I expected from a low-down, no-good Stymie-replacer.

Heroin, on the other hand, sobbed like a little girl.

This has been misinterpreted over the years. This statement wasn't a warning for people to not commit crimes; it was a warning to the lower-level crook that once the various Overlords, Master Planners, Super-Villains, and Insurance Companies took their cuts, you weren't left with enough to justify the risks. In short, it was the thug equivalent of "Taxation Without Representation".

The problem is that most worlds only have one or two of the requirements, and the rest tend to already be spoken for by one cabal or another.

Your best bet for bailout money is to get yourself elected to an LW office and just embezzle the cash. At some point, you'll be expected to anyway. It's practically a Constitutional requirement.
