I loved it, but... yeah, that part was pretty dumb and hard to overlook.

Communist Gawker

“subtly”?

Can’t speak to the Jewish angle, but if you believe that the people who run communist states think everyone should have equal assets, you’re pretty gullible. The guys in charge are a little more equal than everyone else. Hence Putin being one of the richest men alive, the Castros having billions, and so on ad…

In the mid-2000s, Citigroup tried to buy Wells Fargo. Someone at the government actually briefly woke up and said “Uh, no, that’s not such a great idea” before dozing off again.

yeah, unions can own some politicians,

Gah, the 90s were terrible. The endless crossovers. There were like 20 mutant books and you had to read them all to know what was going on, so they were the first to get dropped for me. When Ben Reilly became Spider-Man right around the time my local comics shop went under I took it as a sign to bail. Stayed out a…

If they kill off Peter Parker, I am out. After 35 years and thousands of dollars, I am out. He is the irreplaceable center of the Marvel Universe, their greatest hero, the single fictional character I feel the closest to, the most affinity for. You wanna have bullshit phony Spider-Man (looking at you, Miles) running…

Herr’s factory rejects are the best! One time I bought a bunch of bags of hot bbq chips that were rejected on account of being too spicy. And they were like 20 cents each!

Young males are boys. Stop it.

It’s summertime. You’re wearing a suit. Put the hat away, you look ridiculous.

I worked with a weird guy who would always ask “How do you feel?”. One time a my co-worker responded “With my fingers, usually” and once we are all done laughing, that was the end of Mr. Feely.

One time I was cutting up (cooked) steak for chili, and my 5-year-old daughter kept running in and stealing chunks. Despite it being hilarious, I was anxious for her to stop because A). large knife in use and B). little girls don’t need to eat that much semi-raw steak. The last time she ran in, stuffed a bunch in her…

I got ejected from an intramural basketball game while drunk. I went to the bar for a couple of hours and had a nice stew going when one of my housemates grabs me and says “C’mon, we have a game!”. We were all pretty terrible, and played in the C division. Our opponents that day were a bunch of professors and other…

I did that with soy sauce. My wife acted like I cashed out my 401K and gave it to hobos.

Forget that people think Eli should be in the Hall of Fame; I am vexed that some Giants fans consider him the best Giant QB ever. Phil Simms may be the goofball announcer you love to hate, but with some better luck he could have been one of the greats of all time, and he’s a lot better than Eli. For starters, if he…

Half the joy of comics is collecting them. Filling in a title you’ve been buying for years. Finding a better-condition copy of an issue you love. Hunting through longboxes in a new store you’ve never been to. Standing in your spare bedroom and smiling like an idiot in front of your wall of shelves of comics.

“If Miles is going to stay Spiderman, Parker either needs to retire or one of them needs to go by something else”

I thought Garfield was great. And Peter doesn’t have to be an ugly dork; he really hasn’t been one since Ditko. Big John Romita, my favorite, drew him as kind of a stud!

That was what always struck me about McQueary. He went home and cried to his Daddy about it. How about beating the shit out of a man more than twice your age, you pathetic simp?
