True story. I was once insulted after a ScoopMe column for being so class free as to give Tim a carton of smokes for xmas, and we should have given him a fine bottle of scotch, instead. The dude was brutal about my lack of respect and good taste.

"Behold! This is my banana of DOOM!"

"Back off, Osama! I'm driving a SCHOOL BUS!"

Doesn't that lametard fight crime with yellow?

No, yellow is his weakness, which is even lamer.

"Aaaach, Big Bird, get away from me!"
