There's a whole bazillion pages of comic books to cherry-pick through, though, especially the part where Jim Rhodes has to sub as Iron Man.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(she said "sub". heheheheh.)

I just followed Vonnie's example and looked at shrift's friends, and I was surprised that she had a link to site called Touch My Stump, because I am pretty sure shrift doesn't do RPS. Turns out it was Hard Core Logo, not Patrick Stump!
Also, Vonnie, ever since I mentioned the portmanteau "waldass" I have been seeing it more and more! I may have to quit Blair/chuck shipping!

Ahahahahaha. It would have been very forward-thinking of me, considering that I put that site up when Patrick Stump was still in high school.

Yeah. I'm mildly obsessed, but I don't know if I'm obsessed enough to start reading Iron Man comics going back decades. The character was created in the '60's, right? That's some long-ass backstory. But the bit with War Machine and Tony's alcoholism and the Tony/Rhodes conflict (from what I've read from wiki) sounds like it'd make AWESOME second movie.
(Here is the part where I embarrassingly confess that the only comics I've read *in my life* are Fray, about 2/3 of Watchmen, and and the first couple of volumes of Sandman.)
Turns out it was Hard Core Logo
Wait. Was there an amputee in HCL? I've only watched the movie once and the only scene I remember vividly is CKR licking that knife...
.... um, where was I?
Seriously, "Waldass" is one of the fugliest portmanteaux ever. Although to be frank, I'm mostly boggling that fandom is shipping Chuck/anyone. I only watched the pilot of Gossip Girl, and didn't he, like, try to date-rape someone? Whilst wearing an ascot?

He sort of changed after the pilot... I think they didn't quite know what they would do with him or that the other boys on the show are sort of wet noodles, while this actor is compelling and wears outrageous costumes.

No, but Joe Dick lured Billy Tallent back to Canadia for a benefit concert against gun violence by lying about their idol getting his leg(s) shot off.
Billy: He showed us his stump, Victoria. Ever see a man's stump? Guy's like, "Go on, man. I want you to know how it feels. Touch it. Touch my stump." Disgusting! So don't tell us that Bucky Haight wasn't shot, cause we were there. We touched his stump.

Ahhh! Bucky Haight! Now I remember. What a trippy flick that was.

Heh. I do remember thinking the main boy (the one the two girls were fighting over) was like CW's answer to Zac Ephron, except blander, as if such a thing was possible.

The Doctor and the Endless
The Doctor and Death and Destruction get along famously. They laugh at one another's jokes and work together well together. The Doctor tries not to think too much about the implications of this.
Destiny always treats the Doctor with grave politeness, in spite of the Doctors many attempts to thwart him. The Doctor suspects Destiny of secretly laughing at him.
The Doctor claims to feel nothing for Despair, but can't resist flirting with her.
Desire hates the Doctor, and who can blame him/her? It is very rude to pretend that someone does not exist, ignoring them even when in the same room.
The Doctor and Delirium treat one another very gently - as though they have many old wrongs to forgive one another.
Dream feels cold pity for the Doctor. He knows that the Doctor is so desperate to visit the strangest parts of time and space as a substitute for the dreams Timelords mostly can't have. The Doctor dislikes Dream; the Timelord is used to being the most arrogant being in the room.
