Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
Inexplicably, I woke up this morning earwormed with Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places". I should have known that was heralding the apocalypse.
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black-tie affair.
The last one to know,
The last one to show,
I was the last one you thought you'd see there.
Unfortunately, that is entirely from memory.
If they can mix with Jesus, why not Krishna?
I did not know they mixed with Jesus. I have indeed never watched Xena.
I enjoy Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire books, however, for mixing vampire mythology with Hindu mythology.
Only the good die young
If that's moving up then I'm / moving out
Which reminds me -- did anyone read the latest Green Arrow? Sometimes Winick really doesn't suck.
I'd dropped it. Should I pick it up? Winick often doesn't suck, it's just that when he does suck, it's such a sucking chest wound kind of suck, that you can't remember his actual talent (which is pretty damn talented).

Well, Red Hood comes to Star City, followed by Batman (and I'm actually not even pimping the storyline based on any hatesex HoYay, so there!), and Ollie and Mia are in top snarky form and Jay is back to his oh-so-fucked-up-yet-mesmerizing self (we'll call his characterization -- and near-digestion -- in Nightwing a really unfortunate bad dream).
It's mostly the Ollie and Mia snarking that made me full of Winick-love. Though Bats and his great big weak spot for Jay is pretty damn spot-on, too.

Mrph.
Okay. I'll do it for Jay. Because NO ONE writes Jay like Winick. NO ONE.
Mmm. Jay.
PS, that whole RUN of Nightwing was a Very Bad Dream.
How can we dance when our Earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

Right? It's SO worth reading.
Mmm. Jay.
He *crazy.* And I love that he's Batman's unfixable weak spot.
OMG earworm wars!!
I have "Dancing With Tears in My Eyes" in my head. Ah, apocolyptic pop, how anacronistic you seem.
