Joanne watched her fellow passengers - a wizened man reading about alchemy; an oversized bearded man-child; a haunted, bespectacled young man with a scar; and a gaggle of private school children who chatted ceaselessly about Latin and flying around the hockey pitch and the two-faced teacher who they thought was a witch - there was a story here, she decided.
The completist in me wants to read everything I'm subscribed to, but when I have busy weeks like this one, that's just not going to happen.
Nilly!
Whoo! I'm home, can you tell?
Whoo! I'm home
Yay!

I haven't read the Reader's Digest in years, but they have a great interview with Stephen Colbert online.
Q: You, Steve Carell, and Jon Stewart have done some palling around. Which of you is Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr.?
A: Jon is Sinatra, I'm Martin, and I think Steve is Peter Sellers.
Q: How about Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, and Goldie Hawn?
A: I'm Dick.
Q: Goldie?
A: Steve. Jon is Dan.
Q: Larry, Moe, and Curly?
A: Jon is Moe, Steve is Shemp, and I'm Joe Besser, unfortunately.
and I'm Joe Besser, unfortunately.
Bwah! Bless him.
So, I totally love the unnecessary quotation marks blog, and I just found some in an old work document!
I can't "buy" that this a particularly "creative" or "innovative" approach.
Ha! There's a whole page of gems like that, but they get more specific.
The 7 Crappiest "Super Heroes" in Comic Book History
Ulysses Solomon Archer (U.S.A. get it? Get it?) fights evil in the highways of America in his pimped out truck to avenge the death of his brother, Jefferson Hercules Archer. At this point we can only theorize that their father had the impossibly awesome name of Washington Samson Archer McPornstar.

You know how Batman doesn't actually fight crime with trained bats? And how Spider-Man actually stays away from actual spiders? Well the Red Bee said fuck that shit, and fights crime with bees... for real.
Not only that, but he keeps his favorite Bee and best friend, Michael, in a special compartment in his belt for special occasions. So think of Red Bee as an Aquaman, but limited to one insect, making him the scourge of people allergic to bees and villains who have never heard of insecticide.

Do please sit down, because this one is a doozy. Little Richard Grey was born in Mongolia during a scientific expedition his parents were members of. The expedition was attacked by bandits and everyone died except for baby Richard, who was later found and raised by condors. If huge carrion eating birds don't know how to raise a baby, then who does?
Not bad for a bird that doesn't even live in Mongolia, or anywhere near Asia for that matter.
By the way, did we mention that the condors taught him how to fly? Yes, apparently being raised by birds means you can slap aerodynamics in the face. If you were a comic book writer back in those days working for peanuts, you wouldn't give a rat's ass what you put on the page either.
