I gotta admit, I almost listed him. Probably should have, since over the years I've grown to like his character better. But I guess the traditionalist in my overwhelmed. I should have just not named a specific one, like I did with The Flash and Ghost Rider.

Scarab Sages

Incidently, the only reason I didn't put Moon Knight on the list is because he really is just a slightly more psychotic version of Batman.

And I left off Manhunter because their were at least two that I liked Mark Shaw and Paul Kirk), but several that were either completely idiotic, or bad guys.

This is a very good point.

Have you been reading the latest run of Moon Knight? I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whereas I haven't regularly collected a Batman comic in years, even though he's my favorite. The way they've been writing him ever since that complete tool Grant Morrison (whom I once had respect for), just turned me off.

Scarab Sages

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Same with Green Lantern, sadly. Ever since they started that whole "there's only so much emotional spectrum energy in the whole universe and the Green Lanterns now have to be dickheads and police everyone else who tries to use it", I dropped that shit like a hot potato.

this thread will explode from the sheer amount of truth in this one post.

I truly hate Hal as a result of this storyline.

Scarab Sages

Aren't the DC offices in New York City? Maybe I should make a trip up there, just so you and I can make a pilgrimage over to their offices and "sternly lecture them" on their plotlines and characterization.


We're going to need a shorter phrase than the one you offered-it won't fit on my baseball bat.

Try "The Persuader". That's what I labeled the bat at my old job in Philly.

considering it's DC, the name is perfect.

Another entertaining episode of Gotham last night. Especially considering I simply fast-forwarded through the parts with Fish Moony. I just really dislike that character and find her annoying. And the storyline they're currently putting her through - pirates and some mysterious prison (Santa Prisca, maybe?) is just blah!

Scarab Sages

But the dude who played Jerome....man, that kid was good.

Scarab Sages

After Gotham, I actually turned off the TV and did a bit of reading!!

It was wonderful!

Scarab Sages

Looking at the state of things now, I'm glad I left when I did.

Scarab Sages

GRODD!!!!

Woohoo!! He's only one of my favorite Flash villains of all time!

Scarab Sages

Well....it's been just under 12 hours and....lemme check.....yep...still stoked over....

GRODD!!!!

Scarab Sages

Woohoo!!!

Scarab Sages

Also - Huzzah for Hump Day!

Scarab Sages

And I'm leaving work early for a dentist appointment.

Scarab Sages

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Had a surprise visit from one of my older brothers yesterday evening. He's in town for work and wanted to swing by. The boy loved his visit. Baby girl was a little leery at first, but warmed up to him.

Scarab Sages

My brother told me he got a senior's discount on coffee at McDonald's the other day.

He's only 48.

Scarab Sages

Anyway. Gonna be a busy day.

Scarab Sages

Got a lot done yesterday, but it was one of those non-stop days.

Scarab Sages

It seems to have paid off, though. I was worried that I might have to stay late today, but now I'm not so sure.

I'll probably still have to stay at least a bit late, but nowhere near as much as I'd originally feared.

Scarab Sages

Tomorrow, the boy will be 4 years old. How the time flies.

Scarab Sages

My in-laws are coming in town today. So we'll have them, my brother and his family, and maybe my wife's great aunt and uncle over to the house tomorrow. I plan to cook something in the smoker. Originally was going to make it a pork loin (or two, depending on size), but now my wife is asking for maybe chicken. Not sure.

Scarab Sages

I could always go crazy and do both.

Happy Birthday to my little buddy, The Boy! I can't believe it's been four years since I first held you on that snowy night in Philadelphia.


WOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE GUY

Silver Crusade

4 years old! That is awesome, I believe that is when I got my first Tonka Truck

Scarab Sages

Birthday party - simple, but successful.

Scarab Sages

Smoked chicken breasts - delicious and a big hit with everyone.

Scarab Sages

Today, it's try to get back into our normal routine day.

Scarab Sages

Lastly, what kind of a+!#&~% drives 300+ miles to visit for his grandson's birthday, only to turn around and leave Sunday morning, before the aforementioned grandson is awake to say goodbye, just so said a%!@%!@ can go to a gun show (something that happens in Louisiana like every other day)?

My father-in-law. That's what kind.

Scarab Sages

Indeed.

Scarab Sages

A productive day - four loads of laundry, grocery store, playtime with the boy, both kids bathed and in bed.

Now I await the new Walking Dead episode.

Scarab Sages

Walking Dead was awesome, as always.

Scarab Sages

Mix together Cayenne Pepper, Salt, dried Rosemary, and Garlic Powder. Sprinkle that over the chicken breasts, then cover each breast with thick, fatty slices of bacon. Smoke it for around 2-1/2 hours with Apple wood.

Then eat the delicious, yummy chicken.

Scarab Sages

Don't you love it when an "old friend", someone you go way back with, only communicates with you to criticize you or "prove you wrong"? Sometimes, I wonder why I still bother.

Scarab Sages

But, enough of that! It's a new week! Our project is getting audited today! I've got most everything they wanted ready!

Let the frivolity begin!

if they didn't disagree with you vociferously and regularly, how could you call them a friend?

Oh, I don't mind a little disagreement. But when that's all it ever is.....? That's no longer friendship.

Scarab Sages

Busy morning. I've hardly had a moment to spare since I got in the office 2-1/2 hours ago. It's all good though. Shit got done.

Scarab Sages

Seriously, Fox? You're going to take one of the more awesome spin-off comics ever, Lucifer, and turn it into some half-ass police procedural? WTF?
