Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Captain America? Having fun? I never got that vibe off him. He's a little wonderbread for me.
No, Captain America doesn't have fun.

Captain America doesn't have fun.
I have no idea how I managed to read just the last Captain reference in your post as America, and the rest as Marvel.
I guess that means I should go home for a nap, right?
I was delighted to learn that taking the vegetables I'd used to make veggie broth and pureeing them with cream and water makes a very bright and tasty soup. And by bright I mean pointedly unsalted. Very nice indeed.

Eh. It happens. Too many "Captain" heroes.
What we need is more heroes with different ranks.
Sure, you got your Sergeant Rock and Sergeant Steel and Major Force...we need to explore the lower rank structures.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Haven't read Black Summer, but Sellouts...dude, Supershock burned down the Vatican and laid waste to the Gaza Strip.
