Isnt it a shame to kill this thread at such a milestone age? Welcome to...... Kill This Thread (XVIII) The following rules were established by Kent at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE: The rules: 1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win! 2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however. 3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win. 4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours. Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities..... I - walkwithcrowds (7-day version) II - none III - none IV - Quislet, Esq V - Rockhopper Lad (the first 24-hour version) VI - Rockhopper Lad VII - cleome VIII - Rockhopper Lad IX - Rockhopper Lad X - none XI - none XII - none XIII - Invisible Brainiac XIV - Invisible Brainiac XV - Invisible Brainiac XVI - Invisible Brainiac XVII - Invisible Brainiac XVIII - cleome XIX - cleome XX - cleome XXI - Jfposey XXII - Invisible Brainiac XXIII - jfposey XIV - Invisible Brainiac XV - PALADIN (eff YEAH!!!) XVI- Quislet, Esq. XVII - Invisible Brainiac Will this thread live???

Kill This Thread - The Suffrage! has got a nice ring to it.
Not to be confused with The Suffering! thread, for people who've had to read DC Comics of the last couple of decades

In honor of Quis' holiday...The self-governing British colony of South Australia enacted universal suffrage in 1895, also allowing women to stand for the colonial parliament that year.

Let the Deadshot/Catman shipping begin! (Or has that already been a big ship item?) Have those two really shared any significant panel time? I mean, one is associated with Suicide Squad and the other with Secret Six.

Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like they have had "screen time" together. But it sure feels like they have. And both are Batman villains.

I'm sure it's possible, given the shared Batman status and the similarities between Secret Six and Suicide Squad (beyond the alliteration). I can't recall any interaction, though.

Aw, man...I SUCK! The memory is faulty, my friends! I guess I had the versions from the New 52-on on my mind, forgetting that the original Gail Simone iteration existed without any Suicide Squad book being published! In my defense it's been a while!

I was doubting my memory there. A previous Secret Six relaunch was the only reason I bought Action Comics Weekly. That and it was a book I could buy in my own town.

I remember Action Weekly. For a while, it was the only place you could get new Green Lantern stories. That seems weird in hindsight!

With 3600 Green Lanterns (before they upped to two per sector), they certainly had enough material for weekly stories!

I liked Hal best when he was partly flippant, partly serious. His time with Justice League Europe is a good example.

I enjoyed the Action Weekly GL series pretty well, but I will always remember regretfully that it featured the death of Katma Tui. She's always been one of my favorite GLs.

Katma died well before you were born, I think, Ibby! Did you get to read her stories at some point, or do you get this feeling more from references to her in modern stories?

I got to read some of her stories, Lardy. In fact, I read quite a few of them before I found out she had died... came as quite a shock to me!

Floppies or reprints? It seems to me that Bronze Age GL stories even until the Kyle Raynor era began have been woefully uncollected with exceptions like GL/GA and the Alan Moore stuff.

I didn't realise that was where Katma died. I wonder if I'd stopped reading it by that point. I remember a whiny Hal going round trying to ask his friends for some direction. It was a reprise of all the other stories where whiny Hal needs a sense of direction.

Yep, she died in AC Weekly. In fact, it was the first issue in that format: 601. Katma was ringless and was slaughtered by a near-feral Star Sapphire. She deserved a better death than that.

I have an aunt who's a big comics collector, so was able to read some of her originals.
I do have one GL/GA trade!

Yup, I'll have that one. I'll have plenty of time to read it too, now that my faulty memory has forced me to resign from the Legion World pub quiz team >sob<

Depends on which reality we are talking about, I guess. Seriously though, I can't remember Katma being retconned in. She certainly deserves to be, but she didn't benefit along with the other "Lost Lanterns" found on the Manhunter homeworld (Arisia,who also had a pretty bad death; Boodikka, Kreon, etc.)

I think comics can be more than just "fun". I think it's even okay for them to "infuriate" us at times. But the latter shouldn't occur because the creators are shitting all over beloved characters and concepts. The problem is, different fans have different opinions as to what constitutes such instances of "shitting"!

You could diversify into executive posters for boardrooms. These are oil paintings of quaint 18th century cottage industries in idyllic villages. Somewhere in the painting, a villager will have a sign saying "Well paid employees are happier employees"

When I was little my mom would make pumpkin pie and squash pie. Because I didn't like squash, I didn't "like" squash pie. So mom always gave me "pumpkin" pie. When I got older, I found out I liked the taste of squash pie better than pumpkin pie.

Apple cider makes me think of the fall.
My mom was clearing some old albums from their loft (vinyl!), over the last week, and there were a few albums from The Fall in there. One of the good things about the Fall is that its fine not to like a particular album. The lead singer will be having an argument with the rest of the band shortly, and there will be a new variation, and line up, by the next one.

There's always been a cult Vinyl following here (they gather in a cave and listen to an old jazz record, or something
) and it's growing in popularity. It was odd looking at some high street record shops over Christmas and seeing that they've converted racks back to the Vinyl ones they had decades ago. Obviously trying to promote something physical in a digital world.
The stock is far from great, but it's growing. I wonder what happened to their old stock. They must be regretting getting rid of a lot of it now.
On the other hand, there's all those lost B sides to dig up again...

Apple cider makes me think of the fall.
My mom was clearing some old albums from their loft (vinyl!), over the last week, and there were a few albums from The Fall in there. One of the good things about the Fall is that its fine not to like a particular album. The lead singer will be having an argument with the rest of the band shortly, and there will be a new variation, and line up, by the next one.
The lead singer of The Fall, Mark E. Smith, died yesterday aged 60. Part of me hopes that death will just be the latest minor set back, a punch up with life that requires another personnel change and a slightly new direction, before he heads back out on tour. They weren't my favourite band, I didn't hear them until they had some commercial air time, and I didn't appreciate some of their albums when they came out. I even remember a couple of really mediocre-seeming gigs. Looking back, that was part of the magic of it. You never knew quite what you'd get. You never knew what bit of theatre Smith would pull out, whether consciously or not. When you were at an age when the popularity of something seemed to matter and if you were looking to impress, then The Fall were a learning experience. I think that's why the contrariness of his personality comes out even more strongly in the media. It depended on what people went in looking for and were trying to get. Smith played effortlessly with expectations. I enjoyed their music and all the concerts I happened to catch a whole lot more when I stopped trying to label it and just enjoy the work for itself. A learning experience one that you appreciate him for providing.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

You could use the Vaseline to squeeze into your trousers, so it won't go to waste. Or is that waist.

Some sources say that 10,000 words is the minimum to be considered fluent in a given language. This would vary by language, I am sure.

People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people I hear them whisper, you won't believe it They think we're lovers kept under covers I just ignore it, but they keep saying We laugh just a little too loud We stand just a little too close We stare just a little too long Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin' Let's give them something to talk about Let's give them something to talk about Let's give them something to talk about How about love?
