Remoteless? No need for us to live like savages. Next they'll want us to listen to television in stereo... STEREO, I say!

I remember there being a script a few years ago that Tracy Morgan was attached to where he plays an actual Nigerian Prince during a revolution who can't get anyone to help his country and ends up fleeing to New York. I would have paid money to see that.
That's awesome. I won't go anywhere if I think they're closing in ten minutes. I've pulled into drive-thrus and asked when they close and they'll say, "Five minutes." I wish them a good night and drive on.
I have lunch with friends every few weeks. There about eight to ten of us. On several occasions I'll walk up and find them outside talking. I'll ask, "Did anyone reserve a table yet," and the answer is always, "No," which means I walk in and do it when one of them could have fifteen minutes ago when they got here…
"So deep, so deep... put her ass to sleep."
And fifty years later somebody would use the same scam with the Brooklyn Bridge.
My wife is a housing attorney and told me last night someone called their office after they found a house to rent on Craigslist, mailed the person their last $1500 and was waiting for a key that never came. Somewhere in the conversation she said the person renting the house was in Nigeria and she wanted to know what…
Really what this is saying is be approachable. You could probably be a five and pictured on a yacht in the Caribbean looking like a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and probably weed out a bunch of perfectly fine working class people. I met my wife on Match.com and was hesitant because she was an attorney and I…
I read about a woman who lost sixty pounds one year and purposely posted all of her pre-weight loss photos on the dating site. Her theory was if men were willing to date the fat her, they'd probably not be opposed to dating the thin her.
And Sarah Palin made a big deal when Tropic Thunder came out that their casual use of the word "retarded" was the same as dropping N-bombs. My wife and I laughed ourselves off the couch because 'retarded' has a meaning and even when it's tastelessly being used as insult it's being used correctly.
I just discovered there was a problem with the show. I admittedly haven't had the chance to see it yet but the discussion reminds me a boss I had who was Christian and offended by Flanders on The Simpsons thinking they were making fun of his religion. Never mind that he didn't notice the bumbling cop, the corrupt…
Thanks for the kind words. I named one book a group of people I notice are drawn to (I know there are others) and kinda got called out for it and that's fine. To me, it was like recommending music and suggesting senior citizens stay away from Lil Wayne and then being called ageist. Of course not every female on the…
But both examples you cite are where the mentors still exist. Had Aquaman or Green Arrow died and some other than their sidekicks took over that mantle you'd probably disapprove. Hell, Green Arrow did die and Connor Hawke took over as Green Arrow.
And that is exactly my point. As a writer, you want drama and jeopardy but you can't have that if death is off the table. DC/Marvel need those characters alive to sell books so we know they can't stay dead but you can kill them if it doesn't matter if that continuity isn't in etched in stone. Kingdom Come is so…
I think one of the problems comics suffer from is they're created by fanboys. And all of them have shown up at Stan & Jack's house and found a table full of Legos. The problem is nobody wants to build anything. They just want to play with what Stan & Jack have already built. When someone has the nerve to kill a…
I have a theory to fix all continuity by ending it on a schedule. A major problem is if you listen to writers, they don't read many comics. It's the reason one writer will replace another and discontinue the entire previous storyline. With the constant retcons and rebooting it's impossible to maintain a cohesive…
Let me explain my reasoning. People have a really hard time divorcing themselves from expectation. I'm a movie guy so I'm going to use those for examples. I knew a guy who watched Iron Man opening weekend and when asked how it was, his response was, "It isn't as good as Dark Knight." Well of course not, Dark Knight…
I was twenty one with a topless girl in my apartment who showed up at 1:00a wondering if she likes me.
You know, I reacted wrong and I apologize.
Of course it's subjective. Everything's subjective. I'm curious as to how a recommendation of Sandman is sexist? Had I suggested Betty & Veronica or Fables (a book literally about fairy tales), I'd be with you, but Sandman is a critically acclaimed and amazing popular series considered one of the best books of all…
