Oddly, that reminded me of a comic scan I just read where Wolverine is "inexplicably" a fan of the Boy From Oz musical.
It is funnier than the bit where Storm put on a black wig and was mistaken for Halle Berry.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's a good movie, but still....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wolverine is "inexplicably" a fan of the Boy From Oz musical.
That's funny. I like the meta.
They haven't made Storm look like Halle Berry, have they? Because she so does not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Storm looks like a million different things (very inconsistently drawn), but she's no more Halle than before. Which made it funny to think that Storm's a crap Halle, Halle's a crap Storm.
Comic-OC thought: I really want to know who was arguing which side in the great Storm/Cyclops smackdown. I want to know what the writers think, as well as the characters.

Ann, that's a ferret.
So we can blame the Danish.
OTOH, they gave us, well, danish. Or at least the name for it.
I'd cut them a little slack.

Was it their idea to put cream cheese in the danish? If so, I'll love them forever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
OTOH, they gave us, well, danish. Or at least the name for it.
See, I think that it was all a plot to make the American populace fat. Blame The Danish!!

I missed the pseudorca discussion, but have I mentioned that I got X-Men (tm) checks? There's even one with Magneto on it. I foresee a lot of unnecessary check-writing in my future....

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
mmmm...danish....
I need coffee.
