OMG, I am so full of delicious food, possibly paid for by my job. (We'll see if we get any crap when out-of-town coworker puts in her expense report....) And I'm hoping my new team member will be OK. Am trying to maintain a positive attitude.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Be positive! Not like me!
Huh. They made a hallmark movie of Pictures of Hollis Woods which I just read on the plane trip out.

I wouldn't have picked her, but now I've got her, so.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
me: Thomas Jefferson is not a super hero.
You know why msbelle is a Good Mom(TM)? She's committed to making sure that mac KNOWS his US history.
Batman? Super hero.
Superman? But of course.
Captain Caveman? Iffy.
Black Canary? Super-duper hero.
Benjamin Franklin? You betcha he's a super hero.
Thomas Jefferson? Not so much.

And it's easier to say "Not a super hero" rather than "hypocritical bastard."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
in mac's current world this is how things are - SUPER HEROES: top tier of the world, deserve most of his attention; TRANSFORMERS: almost equal with superheroes, but not yet as he does not have any of their toys; OTHER CARTOON FOLK: move up and down in importance depending what is on; CHARACTERS IN BOOKS OR ANYTHING FROM SCHOOL not covered in the previous categories: fleeting interest
then he gets a Thomas Jefferson trivia thing in a cracker jacks bag
he is interested and yet needs to fit this new person into the framework of his world.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How do you know that TJ wasn't a superhero? Superheroes wear disguises.

You should have said he was a transformer.

Tom, and his disguise was as a power-grubbing, executive-privilege expanding hypocrite? Good lord! That means Bush could also be a super hero in disguise!
