This next post is mostly for Drejk.
My daughter yesterday referred to the Warsaw Mermaid as the "Warlock Mermaid".
Why?! She has a sword and a shield, and, according to legend knows how to use them...
She's clearly a fighter... Well, maybe a paladin or a ranger (she swam a lot)...
And yes, she's naked too.
As someone who avidly read the comics (Back off, kid. We're a hedge.), watched the cartoon AND the Warburton series, I absolutely love the new Tick on Amazon. The casting and the writing just make me so danged happy. When *I* am unable to find fault with something, well... okay, I'm probably ill. Be that as it may. TICK IS AWESOME.So I'm going to attempt an analysis of The Tick. Note that my only exposure is Amazon's rendition. (I know there's a cartoon, and I assume there're comic books as well.) Anyway, here goes. Spoilered for wall-of-text, not for spoilers:
** spoiler omitted **...A guy I knew 20+ years ago was *really* into The Tick. He was a friend of a friend, and while I liked the guy at the time, I still considered him to be rather odd.
Let me say that again, because I find it terribly important. I considered him to be rather odd.
Since then, I've found out more information from a female friend who also knew him back then, and my opinion of him got much, much worse. Stuff I didn't know at the time. If I had, my life may have turned out much differently as a potential convicted felon.
I could not get into The Tick when he tried to introduce it to me back in the mid-late 90's, and it's been kind of tainted by mental association with him ever since.
Given what I know of LM, and how her tastes and mine match fairly well in some areas of entertainment, I may be able to trick my mind into associating it differently and give it another chance.
Woooooow. Hope you can break that association and enjoy the show!
I avoided it for a long time for completely different reasons -- a super called the Tick just seems like something I can't take seriously. Well, it is a silly show, but it's like Antman which I still haven't seen. It just seems inherently...antiheroic. And not in an antihero way, like in a boring juvenile slapstick way. I only watched episode 1 on a lark, because I ran out of other things to watch and I'm stuck in front of the TV for three hours a day. But I'm so glad that I did!

If there is anything you want to see from the series in real life let me know.As someone who avidly read the comics (Back off, kid.

** spoiler omitted **...So... you're going to come to my house, dress up in a blue lycra outfit, and casually knock out walls to remodel my kitchen by beating up bad guys in it?
It must be Christmas again already!
Blue Beetle is one of my favorite superheroes. He and booster gold are EXACTLY what would happen if my best friend and I got super powers.
So why not Black Tick?
Also, I may just show up, point wildly at your TV and say "Hes not the tick, I'M the Tick!"
Also, once again that guy is named Gary. *sigh*
Family weekends. Old traditions. Like doing weird dances to the music on the radio while doing the dishes with my dad.My aunts nearly ruined the Beatles by singing and dancing to it while doing the dishes before opening presents on Christmas Eve.
I understand they were gifts, but it really felt like we earned those action figures.
I truly hate the Beatles due to everyone in high school thinking themselves [insert the name of your favorite Beatle here!] reborn, and INSISTED they had the exact same musical talent which MUST be shared with the world.
Nonsense, you have won nothing.I think the oxford comma is more of a choice then a necessity.
No response so clearly I have won.
did you just use an oxford comma?
Why not a bullarch comma?
Or an aurochcauseway comma?

That's not a sin of the Beatles.

I have the uncanny ability to appreciate music without associating it with the actions of the artist. Its nice.
But yeah I don't see the point in making an actor, band, writer, etc. responsible for their fans. Its not their fault people suck.

Why not a bullarch comma?
Or an aurochcauseway comma?Because my herd consists of female bovines, aka cows. No bulls. Also, no aurochs as they are extinct.
How about bisonoverpass then?

In that case I'm trademarking that $%^&.
Not to cause yet more strife, but you should have written "In that case...".
Its called a Typo MotherF$%^#$.
I think we should test this.
Why thank you for volunteering gran.

My daughter was streaming a Disney movie this evening, when the playback stopped and it started buffering. She came to me and said something was wrong. When I asked what, she said "The movie is frozen." I went to check on it, and said "No, sweetie. This movie is Moana."
She was not amused.

Unless you did mean "daugther". In which case I might not, as I am unsure what that is.

I think its harder to read the weird capitalization then the scrambled letters strangely. Although I'm typing it so their could be bias.

I think its harder to read the weird capitalization then the scrambled letters strangely. Although I'm typing it so their could be bias.If it helps, I think we can stop with the alternate capitals. I'm sure it's an annoyance to type that way.
Then again, I do like to annoy you...
Well I did make an alias just because of it so that is a fair assessment.
It's really not that hard. You just hit shift every other letter.
