What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Exterminators is Teh Awesome.

I've seen it and been intrigued, but now I do want to give it a whirl sometime.

I've also been recommended DMZ, but I'm less sure about that one. Then again, I should probably stop pretending I might actually not like something.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Thanks for the recs! Also, if you haven't checked it out, Therefore Repent is really cool, too.

You know, I went into Comic Relief on Thursday, and it took me forever to find Ex Machina. I'm so used to comic book stores organizing by publisher. They had a rack for "superhero comics" and a rack for "literature comics" (what the hell?) and then I finally found Ex Machina in the very back mixed up with everything else, alphabetically.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You could've asked. They always have somebody at the front, and somebody at the information desk in the middle.

I know, but I didn't want to ask since I did not intend to buy the issue, just read it. I wait to buy trades. So far, no one has ever given me shit—I make it a point to buy stuff intermittently to support the store—but I still feel sneaky and bad about it.

I did ask for food recommendations, though. My friend wanted noodles, and the guy in the middle told us to go to Boat House.

Oh, Glamcookie -- My brain finally put the pieces together and both Exterminators & Army@Love both have, as they say, adult content. Exterminators isn't too explicit, as I recall, but Army@Love might not be something you'd want to recommend to younger readers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, I was told The Walking Dead was also a pretty hard R.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dude. Tank Girl.

Tom is in my brain.
