move out and draw fire

You're going to have to fight Mal for it. He's been accosting the poor counter help for weeks.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Bwah ha ha!!! There's a comics expo (not a convention, really) in Cincy this weekend, and I e-mailed a friend with the info about it, and concluded the e-mail by saying "Dressing like a Klingon is NOT OPTIONAL."

He replied with "Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!"

Well played.

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

How mad is Reed Richards? IO9 is having a mad scientist smackdown between him and Walter Noble, and Walter's winning handily.

I'd vote for Walter, simply because Walter cannot pass. But from reading the comments, Richard's way nuttier than I'd picked up from my casual acquaintance with the F4.

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

Googling for Emmett's school turned up this random image which I share with Tep, Ple and amych.

I have that issue.

Of course.

That perspective is iffy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Just put in an order for the Scott Pilgrim books. Amazon's got them on sale for $4 to $5 each right now.

Hey Kalshane! Weren't you a Matt Murton fan when he was with the Cubs? He's having a great year playing in Japan, threatening Ichiro's single season hits recod.

Yeah, Hec, I was. Glad to hear he found a place to shine.

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

What if Frank Miller wrote history books?
