It still cracks me up that the University of Mississippi, when adopting their mascot the “Rebel Black Bear,” cited a William Faulkner short story as justification for the change. “The Bear” was about the destruction of the South due to the institution of slavery and how the slave owners “cursed” the land because of…

Whoa wait, how did I miss that they brought back Starrcade?! The WCW-version of Wrestlemania, and they just threw it out without any warning?!

Crush

Aw geeze, I completely forgot that Wrestlemania is an arena affair nowadays. I’m so used to Tribute to the Troops being the outdoor match of the year.

Aren’t outdoor shows notoriously shitty to put on and wrestle in? If memory serves, there was a shoot interview where I think piece of shit Bill DeMott during his Hugh Morrus days was thrown into a pool at a Bash at the Beach and was giving out about his jocks getting wet, which granted is an outside case. Some indie…

Oh holy fuck how have I never heard this or a variation. I’m crying over here.

This would have never happened at Siri High School or Alexa Prep.

Starlin has gotten to the point of creepy Mary Suedom with Thanos. He’s handwaved and “explained” away anything he doesn’t like. Sometimes it’s for the better (Thanos losing to, uh, Ka-Zar) and other times it’s out of sheer spite (Thanos’s appearances in Thor during the whole Designate saga leading up to Annual 2000).…

Professor X didn’t appear, but yeah, sent them from a shopping center to Rockefeller Center without their memories of the fight. Lobdell did hint that Santa’s the “world’s most powerful mutant,” but hey, Cerebro’s been wrong before.

Technically, *pushes glasses up nose, gets shoved in locker* Santa single-handedly beat a line-up of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants without breaking a sweat.

Oh Jesus Christ, thanks for introducing me to raclette.

Or a Bratz doll.

I mean, Battle Angel Alita is one of my favorite mangos. The actors in this are great. The sets look pretty damned good. The tech stuff looks good. I’ve been waiting for this for years.

The comma one is blowing my fucking mind right now, because I’m 99% certain that it does need commas in each example. I mean, I don’t have a BS in English, just a BA, but holy hell.

I know good people in Alabama who are strenuously working to keep his ass out. I still condemn the state. The state is going to vote for this shitheel, and his continual fall upward will leave me once again disappointed but not surprised.

I lived in Alabama half my life. After I was out of the military, I returned only once, to get my stuff from home and move to Colorado for college. There are people I love in Alabama, but I have no love for the state. It’s a backward-ass place that has billboards proclaiming white supremacy. Are they still there? I…

Apparently, Zigzagoon is the closest we get.

I have no sympy for those without the proper edumacation.

Technically, that’s Earth-57780, the Spidey Super Stories Earth, and not Earth-616. However, Thanos has almost consistently been undone by his hubris: He deliberately handicapped himself to using only the Power Gem to fight a bunch of heroes, nearly allowed the Silver Surfer to steal the…
