Days Of Future Past is one of my favourite subs
That story was really cool.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

I may have to seize the cat.
I'm going to buy the 1984/85 Kitty/Wolvie mini on ebay sometime. It goes for pretty cheap (less than a TPB) usually, and not a lot of people are bidding on it. But I'm waiting until I have a job, at least.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Man of Steel, Man of Kleenex?
Somehow that brings to mind a short story called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" (by Philip Jose Farmer?) that asked what kind of relationship Supes and Lois could have if Supes had super sperm that travelled at super speed. That does sound like PJF come to think of it.

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

Doesn't just bring it to mind. It's a reference to it. It's by Larry Niven, though, not PJF.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

And it's not so much a story as a somewhat satirical essay. IJS.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Speaking of references -- I'm catching up in the Batbooks, and I just read the Batman issue in which Tim goes undercover as a female medical student to break into the pathology lab at Gotham General. He runs into a doctor down there, who then hits on him, thinking he's a girl. Wackiness ensues.
The doctor is named "Erwin Tan." Which made me blink. See, the guy who lived across the hall from me freshman year in college? A pre-med named Erwin Tan. Who, a quick Google search confirms, until recently practiced medicine in San Francisco. A city which, as it happens, I believe writer Judd Winick is familiar with.
Given the extreme unlikeliness of this being a coincidence, I am going to officially declare myself a mere one degree of separation from Tim Drake.
Also, the computer Erwin sometimes let the rest of us use if we just needed to type up a quick homework assignment? The one we were all so envious of? Designed by the company I now work for. Which also pleases me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
A city which, as it happens, I believe writer Judd Winick is familiar with.
IIRC, he ended up settling there, and his partner, Pam (also ex-RWSF), is a doctor.
So I'd say, yeah, chances are damn good that you're two degrees (one degree would be meeting Tim Drake, zero would be *being* Tim Drake, as I've always understood it) from Timmy.

Thrive to spite them
I went back to the store today. I was only going to browse...I went through a lot of the back issues and found the DC Who's Who series which I started assembling to buy but after I tallied it up that I didn't have all of them and I was at $20 I put them back.
I managed to get out of there with only Teen Titans 7 & 8 and the miniseries Black Canary: New Wings. It was a dollar an issue so I couldn't resist.

Do you have a scanner??
I've been looking for New Wings (I have one issue of it) for ages.

I do not have a scanner, I'm sorry.
