Doesn't just bring it to mind. It's a reference to it. It's by Larry Niven, though, not PJF.
And it's not so much a story as a somewhat satirical essay. IJS.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

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

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.

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.

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 think I pulled out at least two duplicates of New Wings, which issue do you have?

I'll check my box of unsorted stuff. I think I have #2.

I'll go back tomorrow and see what they have left. I may go and dig around more in the back issues, I mostly looked through the boxes of sorted comics, but they had several boxes of unsorted ones that I didn't go through.

I have a question. What's the difference between JSA and JLA?
