What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Did I read somewhere that Phelps was going to protest at Comic-Con? Because the potential for hilarious and/or freaky counter-protests is sky-high there.

Yep:

San Diego Convention Center 111 W Harbor Dr. WBC to picket Comic Con 2010 at the San Diego Convention Center. Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.

I am totally reading this as "Turned comic book characters into idols they have, and worship them they do!" and in Yoda's voice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to go to Comic Con! Except, of course, that I'm allergic and would find it a nightmare. But still, I'm jealous of y'all.

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

Which is appropriate, as Yoda a Godless heathen is.

We're not going to Comic Con this year; it's just not in the budget. Which means I will need to find someone who will go pick up the Skelanimals Hellboy toy for me.

I will try my best! Although it appears you already have dozens of minions. Looks like it's $40 and they only have 1,000, so I will have to figure out what the hell booth it'll be at and swing by first thing Preview Night.

ita, you wanted a Dream figurine or something?

Buh? I haven't seen anyone else volunteer to try and grab me one. But if you would try, that would be wonderful, thank you!

(P.S. Please get me Gerard Way.)

Oh, I saw a lot of retweets and figured, statistically, someone would have volunteered by now.

I will have to cut him into pieces to fit him in my luggage.

Wait, no. That won't work.

Ha! I didn't notice that.
