So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How does that work? Is it like Superman is to kryptonite? Or that his power won't work on wood. Which still seems awfully limiting.

IIRC, in the very first GL, it was specified that the ring only worked on things made out of metal, but not on non-metal. Later the non-metal thing got changed to wood.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

We just had our office June Birthday party. We had cake.

It wasn't very good cake, but still, cake.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It doesn't work on wood. There's a camping trip story where this and yellow are factors.

You all know this is just PORN, right? You know that, right?

Green Lantern, goes out to the woodshed, powerless against the wood, and then gets a golden shower, so weak he falls to his knees, and then the pizza boy comes in...

Shoot, DX, Matt, either of you remember who all was involved and who wrote it?

It probably came out while I wasn't reading comics, so I can't help. The only camping trip I ever remember was Hal, Ollie, and one of the Guardians camping when they were taking their trip to discover America, right after Ollie lost his fortune and first grew his beard.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The one that makes me laugh even more than the yellow is the guy who's weakness is fire. (Martian Manhunter? I think?) 'Cause really, how does that possibly count as a superhero weakness? That's a totally normal thing to be hurt by!

It wasn't very good cake, but still, cake.

But the problem is this: not very good cake has many calories as excellent cake. Better to use those calories on mouthwatering goodcakeness.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Mmm, now I'm in the mood for a good piece of yellow cake with white frosting, my favorite. Either that or pie--triple berry from Baker's Square would do nicely right about now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had an amazing apple-blackberry cobbler the other day. It was sooooo good.

You all know this is just PORN, right? You know that, right?

I admit it did take me a couple of times to frame the question in a way that didn't make me snicker like twelve year old.

Now, my other question is, are the weaknesses widely known? Do the villains know? (Stop me when you feel like telling me just go read the effing comic. It's just... interesting. I only know the Super Hero Hour superhero types, see.)
