RITA's LXII: Painting My Age with Beauty of Thy Days.

[kmeyers]

It can also stop a bullet.

If only Cap had been interested in reading his own stuff, he'd be alive today.

I still can't believe the death of Captain America was treated as such a non event. I didn't even know he was dead, or how he died until weeks later when someone who doesn't even really read comics asked me about it.

I still don't know all that much about it since I don't read the Captain America title.

[Paul McEnery]

Note to self: remember this phrase.

It's "in like Flynn".

As in Errol.

Not if you're a James Coburn fan.

Umm... after he died they did a series of books about the Marvel Universe reacting to the death. The Avengers were effected (both of the titles). If you read any comic related to Cap you'd have gotten the story. Or went on the internet and had your homepage a news site. Or saw a newspaper. Or listened to those annoying talk radio bastards, although I don't reccomend it.

I think you were just under a rock at the time.

I couldn't stop hearing about it. The forums could speak of nothing else. Plus non-comic news reported it everywhere it seemed. Dozens of non-comic reading friends asking about it. Etcetera.

I must have been under a rock at the time, because I really don't remember hearing much about it at all. I do remember a couple of "reaction to his death" stories, but not many.

I know I was still reading Cap related comics at the time, like Avengers, but I still didn't know he was dead until a few weeks after.

[Pól Rua]

It's really worth it. Ed Brubaker's been writing some damn nifty Captain America stories.

Oh, and there was that thing with Stephen Colbert.

Meh. He'll be back soonish.

[mattx110]

So what?....


There, that's better.

[kmeyers]

Meh. He'll be back soonish.

Oh, I never had any doubt about that.

Maybe I just tuned everything out about the death of Cap because it was a pretty lame death from what I've heard. A sniper picks him off while he's being taken into custody?

Weak.

Well worth your time. Good, solid, headkicking espionage adventure.

[Gilda Dent]

All-region DVD players are your friends.

Don't have one. We use the PS3, and it's region restricted, IIRC.

[jessecuster3]

It's really worth it. Ed Brubaker's been writing some damn nifty Captain America stories.


I concur, I really love what he has been doing with Cap.

[Gilda Dent]

Just finished Gilmore Girls season 2.

Pretty much the opposite ending from season one.

I keep wondering why Rory can't see what a complete creep Jess is, or at least has been so far. Sure, he's smart and reads a lot, good qualities for a bookworm like Rorry, but he's also surly, sarcastic, openly disrespectful towards Lorelai, Luke, and Dean, and pretty much everyone else other than Rory, skips school and starts fights and generally cares nothing about getting any kind of education, and stole her bracelet knowing it would make Dean mad and get her in hot water in her relationship, demonstrating that, at least at that point, he cares more about irritating Dean than taking Rory's feelings into account.

Luke and Lorelai are both right about what they thought would happen; Rory is a good influence on Jess, as Luke hoped, and Jess is a very bad influence on Rory, as Lorelai feared he would be.

Fun tidbit on the extras: In the French translation of Gilmore Girls, Michele is Italian.

If you're not a Gilmore Girls afficianado, please ignore the above fangirl gushing.

Is it just me, or is seeing "WARNING: This may offend people" on the internet a blinking neon sign that actually reads "WARNING: Banal, predictable crap ahead?"

Oh wait til the later seasons with another boy trying to win Rory's affections.

[Gilda Dent]

Oh wait til the later seasons with another boy trying to win Rory's affections.

Oh and also:

Christopher tells Lorelai he wants to be in her life again, try to build something together. He gets a phone call. His ex-girlfriend is pregnant. He immediately dumps Lorelai and the plans they were making and takes off to see his ex-girlfriend, not even staying for Suki's wedding or having the guts to tell Rory himself. Hello, your girlfriend isn't in labor, she's pregnant. She isn't going to get more pregnant if you stay for the wedding and talk to your daughter. "I'm pregnant" isn't an emergency for which you have to dash off in the middle of a wedding.

[Kid Omega]

That would be ignoring the two years worth of intrigue, black ops, espionage, and awesomeness that led up to the actual event. It was/is quite possibly Marvel's best monthly book.

But don't bother actually reading the thing before you judge it or whatever.

[mattx110]

Is it just me, or is seeing "WARNING: This may offend people" on the internet a blinking neon sign that actually reads "WARNING: Banal, predictable crap ahead?"
The gooder thoughts are generally desplaced after the comments and seem offensive only in retrospect. When someone plans to be offensive, the chances are decent that getting a laugh overrides the point of the statements. So yes. It's more likely to be crap when the author feels the need to warn everyone they're "being real".

I've always felt Rory was more like Christopher than Lorelai.

[mattx110]

I dunno how many Scottish Theatre-lovers are around here, but has anyone read or seen a performance of a play by Donna Franceschild. The TV work is awesome, and I'm trying to track down some of the plays.

Also note, watch "Takin' Over the Asylum" if you like humor, crazy people, and Spike Milligan.

[Gilda Dent]

I've always felt Rory was more like Christopher than Lorelai.

At this point, Rory seems more like Richard than any of the others in her family, and Lorelai and Christopher are a lot alike in terms of personality. What Christopher did at the end there is quite similar to what Lorelai did to Max near the beginning of season 2.

I admitted that I didn't know much about what really even happened, but that I thought that his actual death(being shot by a sniper while being taken into custody, instead of say, doing something heroic) was pretty lame.

But, like I said, I don't know the whole story. It could be the most awesome death ever, but at face value seemed like a pretty lackluster death.

I know. I was just saying that after all Cap has been through and all of the colossal challenges he's overcome, just seemed like a weak way for him to be taken out.

Like if Superman was being hauled off in kryptonite handcuffs and was shot to death.

I was more trying to ask what really happened that was such a big deal, since apparently I missed all of the hype surrounding it. Because just being picked off by a sniper really is a pretty lame death for a superhero. That's all I was saying.

[howyadoin]

I know. I was just saying that after all Cap has been through and all of the colossal challenges he's overcome, just seemed like a weak way for him to be taken out.That's assuming he's actually dead, of course.

And it's as good as any comic featuring Captain America has ever been.

That's not how he died. I don't mean hype, or set up or whatever. That's just not how he died. That's what Marvel gave to the New York Times.

[howyadoin]

That's not how he died. I don't mean hype, or set up or whatever. That's just not how he died.Well, of course not.

He's not actually dead.

[mattx110]

Well, of course not.

He's not actually dead.
I mean, that's not the way he was shown to have been killed, if he had been indeed killed. Ay carabou!

[kmeyers]

That's assuming he's actually dead, of course.

And it's as good as any comic featuring Captain America has ever been.
Well, dead or not, he's definitely not going to stay "dead." I'll have to get the trade/s.



That's not how he died. I don't mean hype, or set up or whatever. That's just not how he died. That's what Marvel gave to the New York Times.

Well I wasn't reading Cap, but I read Avengers around that time, and I don't remember any alternate or more detailed explanations as to what happened. Other than there was more than one shooter...and I don't even think that was addressed in Avengers.

Damn that grassy knoll. We should totally do away with grassy knolls altogether.

[howyadoin]

I mean, that's not the way he was shown to have been killed, if he had been indeed killed.He was definitely in handcuffs, and to anybody but Sharon Carter, it looked like a sniper's bullet that did him in.

[Gilda Dent]

I accept that he's dead. This is, however, superhero comics, where dead is generally a temporary condition. It's somewhat like being seriously injured in real life. Sure it's a setback, and it'll take some time to fully recover, but it's not like it's permanent.

And with that, bedtime.

Nite all.

There's an auction coming up at the end of the month for a charity called Music Rising, set up by The Edge from U2.

http://www.juliensauctions.com/auctions/2008-music-rising/index.html#catalogdownload

Some of the stuff is damn cool. Original artwork by Jerry Garcia, Ron Wood, and Joni Mitchell, posters from Woodstock and a shitload of signed guitars.

One of the more interesting items is an audio cassette bootleg of a Metallica concert from 1982.

Too late, I was already spoiled by wiki. It didn't sound all that much better, but it was a really short summary. That, and it is wikipedia.

Heys all. Back from running around all over today. Damn rain, trying to ruin my hair.

Nervous and excited about tomorrow.

[Michael P]

Just finished Season 1 of DS9 on DVD. Full thoughts are at my blog, but the long and short of it is, once as they realize what the show's actually about, it'll be a really good show.

[DoctorDoom]

You've only started dating that guy and you're already organzing infidelities? Yikes!

You post the best things when I'm not around.

Here's one that needs to be saved:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b281/Frost327/Joker/1181911796832.gif

Thank you. Where'd you get it?

Note to self: remember this phrase.

It's "in like Flynn".

As in Errol.

I wasn't referring to that.




In like Flint.
As in James Coburn.


Thank you.

But still a nifty flick with a decent sequel.

Good day, everyone.

Agreed. :smile:

I just figured she got it wrong because she's blonde.


Wel lyou were WRONG! Who's the blonde now?

Yeah, I know. But Doomy may prefer Coburn to Errol.
Coburn is kinda dishy.

I prefer Coburn. He talks to dolphins!

[howyadoin]

Wel lyou were WRONG! Who's the blonde now?Incorrect. The phrase is "in like Flynn", and it's been around since at least 20 years before that movie.

[DoctorDoom]

Incorrect. The phrase is "in like Flynn", and it's been around since at least 20 years before that movie.
But that's not how I was using it. It's all about intent.

I was referring to 'heroes' after all!

[kmeyers]

Incorrect. The phrase is "in like Flynn", and it's been around since at least 20 years before that movie.

There can't be an alternate version of that phrase? Let's call it the Ultimate universe's version.

It is the title of a movie(which probably had something to do with the original phrase).

Nice try. But Howy is exactly right.I've actually been reading a bit about the Flynn family lately. Just finished rereading Michael Herr's Dispatches, which led to a google search on Sean (the journalist, not his actor nephew).

......Why?

[DoctorDoom]

Regardless of whether or not you're wrong, you're still incorrect.



How am I wrong? I'm not debating the original phrase. I'm aware of it.

But the other one had been used as well, and that's how I was using it.

Didn't sony have a weird character guy that was like, supposed to be their version of mario... An identifiable thing. I can't remember what he looks like. I guess that might have something to do with them cancelling that ad campaign a decade ago. Now my brain is frying itself trying to come up with the answer.

Apollo made it through the night. Through a few nights now. I've set up a little bed out of an old plastic container and 2" of shavings on the bottom, and that's officially her 'sanctuary'. Her breathing isn't labored anymore and she's not 'chirping' in pain.

She ate a bit yesterday; tonite she gorged. Finished an entire dish of seed. She got a cracker for treat, too (nice cliche, bird).

Her legs are pretty much useless right now; absolutely no strength although she can open and close her talons. I pick her up out of her bed so she can eat and she pulls herself around on the comforter. It's not quite as pathetic as it sounds.

Yes it is.

I've got her sleeping next to my bed on the floor so she doesn't fall out and hurt herself more. Momma's gonna make her a little pillow to rest on when she's sitting with me. My boss at the new store even told me to bring her in to work if it'll make me more comfortable.

*whew*

I think she's gonna make it.

Oh definitely. That's an older pic, but I always thought James would make a good Sabretooth, he just has that look. The facial hair doesn't hurt, either.


Also that picture puts Tyler Mane to shame.

Well, isn't THIS becoming a charming little annual event. Off to ER tonight with another kidney stone (other side, this time). Only this time I didn't get as lucky as the last. This bout made the last one seem like a minor indigestion cramp. Which I guess brought it up to "normal" levels. One of those pains you know you're not going to die from, but wish you would.

Now I'm all spacey on morphine and vicodin. World's a bit fuzzy at the moment...

Didn't sony have a weird character guy that was like, supposed to be their version of mario... An identifiable thing. I can't remember what he looks like. I guess that might have something to do with them cancelling that ad campaign a decade ago. Now my brain is frying itself trying to come up with the answer.

Polygon freak. It was a floating head. From what I hear, it was the temporary PS1 Mascot in Japan, until they canceled it due to complaints of it being scary.

At least, that's what I've been told. Then it became Crash for a while.

Ouch, 'Dox, recover soon.

Johnny 5 Cars needs to build car-driving robots so he's not so distracted driving his five cars that he rear-ends people. He could give them colour coded beanies so they'll know which one is which. They could colour code the beanies to the cars.

DocAbsurd nurses her through it:

Apollo made it through the night. Through a few nights now. I've set up a little bed out of an old plastic container and 2" of shavings on the bottom, and that's officially her 'sanctuary'. Her breathing isn't labored anymore and she's not 'chirping' in pain.

She ate a bit yesterday; tonite she gorged. Finished an entire dish of seed. She got a cracker for treat, too (nice cliche, bird).

Her legs are pretty much useless right now; absolutely no strength although she can open and close her talons. I pick her up out of her bed so she can eat and she pulls herself around on the comforter. It's not quite as pathetic as it sounds.

Yes it is.

I've got her sleeping next to my bed on the floor so she doesn't fall out and hurt herself more. Momma's gonna make her a little pillow to rest on when she's sitting with me. My boss at the new store even told me to bring her in to work if it'll make me more comfortable.

*whew*

I think she's gonna make it.

Good news! The eating is a good sign. Usually the first sign an animal is sick is that it stops eating. Got our fingers crossed for her, Doc!

The Ruinator.

He doesn't wear the Internet Pope hat that he never wore to begin with, took the title, but not the hat. Instead, now as the Ruinator, he doesn't wear a black sheep on his chest as a logo, just to disappoint me and my costume design team.

Yeah, toe your line and play their game
Yeah, let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall - yeah

Oh lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane - oh no - yeah

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for ?
Ah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Eh, while you're waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall
Hey, yes, it's starting to fall eh, hammer, you know

We get ours Wednesday evening, do the break up for regular orders and have the stuff out on the shelves by Thursday morning.

This week though, the courier decided he didn't want to deliver our stock. He dropped everything off at our other store, but decided that, because he lives just around the corner, what he'll do is drop the stuff off there, head home and maybe deliver the city's stuff tomorrow, maybe.

[Chris Nowlin]

When you work on a board and then try to type up everything you've done at 6 am before going to bed, mistakes can be made.

Last night, I recorded all the information about my variables I'd solved for, but neglected to note what variable meant what.

I needed a lot and was just using greek letters, and going in order, skipping the ones I found too hard to write. So I think I've reconstructed what I had, but my notes include an eta, which doesn't quite fit. Conjecture is that at some point over the night, nu became eta.

Also, I realise I used epsilon, which is a mistake because there's a q in the equations and I can't tell them apart the way I write them.

Similar problem with 5 and b. Fortunately I never have to write down 5, and context will usually tell me if the thing that looks like a 5 is a b or an s.

It took about $15 more than I wanted to spend, but I finally got a sealed box of 1992 marvel masterpieces. Go me!

Also, disturbing story of the moment; Had to stop at Wal-Mart over the weekend, ended up needing to use the men's room. I head to the urinal, and from a stall I hear heavy breathing like a "phh phh phh phh" sound, then a groan of "UHHH OHH NOOOO!" followed by more heavy breathing. I'm quite perturbed, but my shoe needed tied, so I zipped up, and figured I could get my shoe tied and gone before this weirdo got out of the stall.
Not to be. No flush to warn me he was done. Simply pops out of the stall. It's one of their own employees. He gives me an ashamed/awkward look says; "How ya doin today chief.." and waddles out.
Now if life was a Penthouse, that would have been a hot chick, who rushed to the men's room by accident but then needed some assistance.
Instead I got to hear the gross fat guy most likely stroking his swizzle stick.
Ack.

We had summer basketball signups this past Saturday.

8 of the girls who played for me this winter on the champion Lady Vols signed up for summer league.

The mother of two of the girls said that her daughters asked her if they had to go to Selection Day on May 24th. She told them of course they did. They said to her, "But if we do good the other coaches will see us...and we want to play for Jay!"

That prompted the guy who was working the signups with me to laugh and say "Jay, you're brainwashing them!"

I laughed back and said that it was coach loyalty.

And they weren't the only ones to say something like that to me on the day. There's 16 girls who have made it known that they want to play for me.

Oh and the guy who made the comment about the brainwashing is also my assistant coach for both the girls and boys teams. My other assistant coach for the girls is Cathryn who was the starting center for my girls team last summer.

Hi everybody!

In other news, it seems to be past 6 am.

What did I accomplish by being in my office all night: precisely nothing.

Everything I managed to get onto the board tonight had been there last night. I reminded myself where I was. That's it.

I used to work at night to avoid distractions.

Somehow a girl always hanging out with me during these hours has managed to distract me.

Some of the posters here have the patience of Job.

I can't quit this place.

I'm at level 4-4.

Which sucks, because that's the water level, and it's really fucking hard.

[jessecuster3]

Somehow a girl always hanging out with me during these hours has managed to distract me.


EDIT: Hi Jesse

When are you going to learn that this is a good thing, instead of a bad thing?

[Chris Nowlin]

Well I didn't get any work done.

And I seem to be going to bed around 7 am.

Which would be fine except that come the end of June, that's when I need to start waking up. Need to adjust my schedule by about 8 hours.

During the summer they want me to teach to earn my paycheck.

Baah you only need 4 days or so before you have to adjust your body back to a normal schedule.

[Chris Nowlin]

I should probably go home now. But she said we can go eat once she finishes what she's doing. But I begin to fear that won't be as soon as I'd inferred.

[Puma]

Morning people.

[Chris Nowlin]

Morning people.


Nonsense. Clearly not morning yet.

Return to bed.

[Gilda Dent]

Not too much. I'm considering stepping down as Internet Pope.

Yikes. Anything that can be done about that on a preventative level?

Drink lots of water, avoid caffeine, especially caffeinated sodas, reduce the amount of sodium/salt in your diet, drink cranberry juice, lower protein intake, take calcium and magnesium supplements, and if needed, take a diuretic.

She's kinda cute, but darned if I can read her T-shirt.

[Puma]

Return to bed.

Can't, must work out and then go to work.

Go you to bed.

[Chris Nowlin]

Meh. Food first.

[Chris Nowlin]

Wow. Missed this announcement last night.

Teach me to show up late and not review backwards.

[Jared_Humpherys]

So Sarah and I watched some of Penn & Teller: BS season 5 last night. The "Breat Hysteria" episode had a model who didn't show her face who had some the best tracks of land I've ever seen(and Sarah agreed).

It was a good graduation. And while some people celebrate with limos and all that stuff, I prefer a simple approach, and I decided to go get a double cheeseburger. I really enjoyed that.

boshobosho gets to overhear:View Post (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showpost.php?p=6891522&postcount=4698)

It took about $15 more than I wanted to spend, but I finally got a sealed box of 1992 marvel masterpieces. Go me!

Also, disturbing story of the moment; Had to stop at Wal-Mart over the weekend, ended up needing to use the men's room. I head to the urinal, and from a stall I hear heavy breathing like a "phh phh phh phh" sound, then a groan of "UHHH OHH NOOOO!" followed by more heavy breathing. I'm quite perturbed, but my shoe needed tied, so I zipped up, and figured I could get my shoe tied and gone before this weirdo got out of the stall.
Not to be. No flush to warn me he was done. Simply pops out of the stall. It's one of their own employees. He gives me an ashamed/awkward look says; "How ya doin today chief.." and waddles out.
Now if life was a Penthouse, that would have been a hot chick, who rushed to the men's room by accident but then needed some assistance.
Instead I got to hear the gross fat guy most likely stroking his swizzle stick.
Ack.

Ha! My roommate loves his new Blackberry. He told me whenever he goes into public restroom to take a dump these days, he turns on porn on his handheld just to freak people out. :biggrin:

And, yeah, he's joking. Because if he WAS stroking it, that would be part of the story, because he's shameless. :wink:

Also, one of the causes of kidney stones?

Dent's Syndrome.

[Paradox]

Gilda Dent rolls out the diagnostic:

Drink lots of water, avoid caffeine, especially caffeinated sodas, reduce the amount of sodium/salt in your diet, drink cranberry juice, lower protein intake, take calcium and magnesium supplements, and if needed, take a diuretic.

Well, I can, um, drink lots of water...

[Gilda Dent]

Off to Gymboree! I've missed this.

[Paradox]

Gilda Dent finds serendipity:

Also, one of the causes of kidney stones?

Dent's Syndrome.

Ha! YOU GAVE ME KIDNEY STONES!!!! :tongue:

BTW, Dent's DISEASE, not Syndrome.

**ruffles J Dog's hair**

Congrats, li'l nipper. :wink:

Yer OK...for a Hoosier. :tongue:

[Ben Morgan]

Sleepy now.
Bye bye.

Don't set fire to anyone I wouldn't.
So Matt's okay, then?

I know that's a compliment, so, thanks, Para.

Well, I can, um, drink lots of water...

And I LIKE drinking water, so I think I'm safe from the horror and discomfort that's kidney stones.

[mattx110]

Good morning. Thanks, I think.


I'm not getting lit on fire, right?

[Ben Morgan]

Depends on how much Pol likes you

[Guapo Méndez]

No, but stop fidgeting and get under that bucket of kerosene.

Oh dear...

This lasagna (yes, the actual food product) is awesome.

Not very much?

Pol loves me and I love the Pol.

It would be cool if there was an evangelical group that used Evander Hollyfield as their spokesperson.
