1960 for me. I was aware of Sixfinger (for some reason that has "Soulfinger" by the Bar-Kays playing in my head right now), but I actually had Major Matt Mason! Plus Jeff Long and the Re-Entry Glider that actually flew!! (Because it was made of cheap crap plastic that broke on the first landing. I didn't care, best…

Nah, what we need is a John Byrne reboot all up in this bee-yotch! Ma and Pa Osterman are still alive, and Silk Specter is re-imagined as a sexy, wacky Ambush Bug clone! I'm also thinking Wolverine crossover, of course.

Holy Cripes, everything mentioned under the Universal Vault Series was a personal favorite of mine! (Yes, I was a weird kid...)

"Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R."! I had that issue of F&SF! Still remember the editorial header line, too: "Not believe in Santa Claus? Why, you might just as well not believe in James Bond!"

Do I have to spell it out? ...oh, nope, I don't, Vinylrake already did.

That thought is always in the back of my mind... no, wait, sorry, I'm thinking of cheese and onions.

I would add The New Teen Titans #38, "Who Is Donna Troy?" Wolfman and Perez at their best, highlighting and defining the Robin/Wonder Girl friendship, and showing how wonderfully Dick Grayson's character has evolved since his days as "Robin, Boy Hostage". Even that douche Terry Long is treated sympathetically! One of…

A valid point, but once you stick the Enterprise into the equation I'm pretty sure you're operating outside canon.

I think it all depends on your definition of "invitation." It's been shown time and again in literature and film the person doing the inviting doesn't have to be an actual resident of the house. The intent of the person doing the beaming would be key, I imagine. So, it works if the transporter operator is actually want…

Probably stretching things to call Clue a genre film, but she was the Singing Telegram in that (for all of about five seconds before she gets murdered).

Read it before the movie was even made! Seriously, people, read it, one of William Goldman's best! "This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it..."

Honestly, I imagined an 1890's ne'er-do-well walking down the streets of Bradburyville, USA and twirling his pointy mustache when he found a boarding house with a prominent front porch. "Gads, someone there likes to spoon!"

Oh, good, now I can tell my fiancee I'm "The Restricted Man." Sounds marginally dirtier, somehow.

Thank you for the info! I'm not surprised I got it wrong (my knowledge of chemistry is basic, to put it kindly). I think I read about it in an ancient issue of Discover and somehow or other interpolated lipid "handedness" into the article. No wonder I couldn't Google it! :/

I seem to remember reading an article about "L-sugar", but I may have that name wrong, can't Google a reference. It's a form of sucrose in which the lipids are the mirror image of "natural" sugar, and the body can't process it as "food" so it just goes straight through, as it were. The bacteria that cause dental…

Hugh Hefner. (Ba-DUMP-Bump!)

Thanks, I may look into it!

I like that one, too. I couldn't find an actual clip from the show for this one, apparently it was just an album bit (I had it on Monty Python's Previous Record).

I have to do the same thing, they found I had low B12 after some viral-related neuromuscular damage. It does indeed suck.

Reminded me of one of my favorite Python album bits:
