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.

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

OTOH, they gave us, well, danish. Or at least the name for it.

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!!

Ann, that's a ferret.

But we don't blame anyone else for making yummy foods...

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Mike the Headless Chicken survived a beheading in 1945 in Fruita, Colo. Afterward, Mike could go through the motions of pecking for food, and when he tried to crow, a gurgle came out. His owner put feed and water directly into Mike's gullet with an eyedropper.

Scientists examined the chicken and theorized Mike had enough of a brain stem left to live headless. He was a popular attraction until he choked to death on a corn kernel.

I think this creeps me out more than anything I've ever read about an animal before.

Yeah. What idiot would try to fead a headless chicken a corn kernel?
