Have I heard this theory?

Maybe, but I'm all revved up. So I'll go again, short form.

• Superman -- born Super. Outsider, but outsider from above, not below.
• Spiderman -- outside from below, made Super, still loser in the eyes of the world.
• Batman -- psychopath self-made Super

I think that who you identify with (if you identify easily -- Wolverine is also a perfectly viable answer to "Which one of Superman, Batman, and Spiderman do you prefer?" when paired with a quizzical look) is very interesting. I've found kravvers don't even breathe before claiming Batman.

How do you pronounce that?

If I asked you how you pronounced "tsk," what would you tell me?

> Brussel sprouts do not taste like ass OR like little cabbages.

Brussel sprouts are little cabbages.

And scallions are the tops of green onions. Does not make them taste a lot like mature onions. Same thing with shrimp/prawns. When it comes to foodstuff size matters. Hey, still a buffista. I can bring any subject back to porn.

Huh. I identify with Spidey. What does that mean about me?

If I asked you how you pronounced "tsk," what would you tell me?

Heh. I neither always tell the truth nor always lie. So if I answered that it wouldn't help you.

I identify with Spidey. What does that mean about me?

You're a big old loser?

I kid.

Or, as my completely statistically invalid research shows, more likely to be an outsider, and not by design (though there's no reason not to be content with it).

Same thing with shrimp/prawns

You don't think shrimps and prawns taste similar? What tastes more like a prawn than a shrimp? Or vice versa?

Huh. Any other profession/art where you've seen that sort of lopsided response?

Swiss cheese is rank. RANK, I tell you.

ita is wise.

I [hatey icon] swiss cheese.

Betsy is also wise.

Lee is wrong. SWISS CHEESE ROCKS.

Kat? NSM.

I just placed my dinner order. Oddly enough, I decided to order pizza.

(1) My Cat and How Fucking Cute It Is

Is "fucking" used as a gerund here?

Any other profession/art where you've seen that sort of lopsided response?

More Spiderman in IT, I've found, though it's not as conclusive. Wolverine gets a pretty decent write-in vote, and seems to be from fairly confident type.

And very few Supermen. But they seemed to be split pretty clearly between people who are identifying with Clark and people who are identifying with Kal El. And none of them are identifying with any of the things I think make him interesting.

I'm pretty sure this'd fall right apart in a true fanboy environment.
