That's a comforting thought, that our own most embarrassing moments probably barely registered with anyone else present. I'm sure if I brought up one of my dopey blunders with one of my high school friends, the reaction would be something along the lines of, "You said what to who now?"

Wait, "previously unknown sister"? Rose Red's been around since the Grimm brothers at least, it's not really that big a stretch to bring her in.

God damn it, I would watch that. He'd be so guilelessly enthusiastic about teaching youngsters how to survive in the wilderness, with occasional inappropriate Asgardian warrior advice, to the camp director's hilarious annoyance. And then they get menaced by, let's say Ulik the evil troll…

I don't think that's so weird. If you've been through a lot of crazy shit, some peace and quiet and normality can seem quite enticing.

For sale: logic. Never used. (5 words)

This is Kingdom Hearts, though. It's likely that the game itself provides an entirely different, utterly ludicrous explanation.

Space blessings upon the anniversary of your expulsion from the womb!

Well, that looks all kinds of bananas. I approve!

Traci Lords was the subject of a clue in the New York Times crossword the other day. Not what I would have expected, but I guess there aren't that many famous people named Traci.

"Star-Spangled Man" should have gotten an Oscar nomination for Best Song, dammit. At the very least, it would have been a blast to see it performed on stage.

Man, I hope that's all it is.

Don't even think about tickling that ganglion!

I'll take Firestorm's ability to transmute matter. He's maybe the most powerful superhero there is, but he rarely uses it well. Scale it up a bit, and boom, pollution gone. Global warming? Solved. ISIS? All your guns are now dildos (I also have the power to make subtext into text).

Shit, with that power you could rule the goddamn world and no one would ever know. If the Purple Man weren't so lazy the Marvel Universe would be fucked.

They had dames with dynamite gams to keep them occupied!

Do you… do you live in Gotham City?

I'm reading the Canterbury Tales! So far mostly sex farces and sober moral fables. Chaucer enjoyed him some tonal whiplash

I just read the first trade of that! (My library had several copies of the deluxe edition, for some reason.) It is fun, though the constant cool-kid patter can get wearying after a while.

The Jeopardy writers' ongoing hard-on for Ayn Rand also made yet another appearance.
