X-Crescence CII:Bessie Smith

[Brian Cronin]

Welcome to X-Crescence, which is from the word excrescence, which is defined as "An outgrowth or enlargement, especially an abnormal one, such as a wart."

Well, this is an outgrowth from the X-Boards proper.

This is where you pretty much can post whatever you want.

Civility rules apply here! But you can have arguments and stuff like that - do note that arguments can and SHOULD be civil. One thing you definitely can't do is trash talk posters who are not in the thread, like, "Oh man, did you see what Poster X said? What a loser." You can talk generally about stuff, though - like, "Oh man, some posters are really getting me mad today," etc.

And I certainly hope folks follow the rules, because I'd hate to close it again.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Is Bessie the one who sang kinda raunchy songs about needing sugar in her bowl, etc?

By the by, I saw people asking earlier about the legal arguments about Prop. 8, and here is really the main argument against gay marriage (legal-wise, that is).

Married people are not a "protected class," so to overturn a law discriminating against said class of people, you need to prove that the law does not have any reaonable connection to any (it says "legitimate," but that's essentially "any") government interest.

And for the most part, that last bit has been difficult to prove in a court of law, as it is extremely difficult to prove that a decision is unreasonable.

You or I might find it unreasonable (and you bet I think it is unreasonable), but a court has to determine that it is completely unreasonable, and that is hard to do.

That is why, in the case of Prop 8, the folks going against it are trying alternative arguments because the equal protection argument is unlikely to cut it here (although it DID work in other states, such as CT and MA).

However, after years of this argument failing in relation to laws against homosexuality, awhile back, the Supreme Court ruled that there WAS no reasonable connection to any government interest to ban homosexual practices.

So odds are, eventually, this will happen here, as you just need the courts to eventually say, "Yeah, there just is NO reasonable explanation for why we would not want to allow same-sex marriage."

Sadly, that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

In other words, rumors of you delaying your own wedding until it was overturned as a sign of solidarity to the gay posters around the forum are grossly exaggerated, right?

For those who are interested, there are other (non-legalistic) arguments against gay marriage from a queer perspective, including ones that question the institutions (norms, sexual practices, laws, tax shelters) that make heteronormativity coherent. One of the better arguments to this end is in Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner's essay "Sex in Public," which is reprinted in Intimacy (http://www.amazon.com/Intimacy-Lauren-Berlant/dp/0226384438). I am sure I have a pdf of it somewhere around here if someone wants it (since I was Lauren's student and edited at the journal that first printed it). Michael Warner dumbed down the technical argument in his diatribe against that moron, Andrew Sullivan, in The Trouble with Normal (http://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Normal-Politics-Ethics-Queer/dp/0674004418/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233795673&sr=1-1). I consider the book pretty condescending ("We rich circuit queens must save the homeless queer boys of color being gay bashed by the pier!") but it gets the point across to non-academics.

I tried to logically discuss the new Black Panther #1, and give it an honest criticism in its thread. I know I will live to regret this decision.

I think i'm going to drop a lot of my books, i just noticed that about half the books i'm reading, i don't actually care about anymore.

From now on it's..

Uncanny, Axm, Legacy, X-Force, Cable, The New Mutants book.

New, Mighty, Dark Avengers.

Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Spider Woman.

Guardians of the galaxy. Also as a non marvel choice, I love me some Fables.

[worstblogever]

You know, I didn't think about it until now, but as a result of how bad Countdown and Final Crisis were... my DC pull list is like:

Booster Gold
Secret Six
Fables
Jack of Fables

Two of those are technically Vertigo, so yeah... I think I'm away from DC until something remarkable is done with Batman.

Batman comics are irrelevant while Moon Knight is being published. It's the superior product, hands down.

What country is Moon Knight's mythology with Konshu from, again?

I keed, dn@n. You're right, the battle vs. the T-Bolts in that book was great. More importantly, Marc Spector doesn't have the nasty habit of dressing up young flexible, athletic boys in short shorts of bright color to run around rooftops and dark alleys with him. Points for that.

[Optic Rage!]

Amazing Spider-Man and Moon Knight

I have not been reading Spider-Man for years now, i suppose i could start again and read the first issue of BND. How far into it is it now?

Guardians of the galaxy. Also as a non marvel choice, I love me some Fables.

I'm not sure if Guardians is my thing, i do read Fables tough, i was just counting my marvel stuff.

It's pretty far. Hasn't it almost been a year? I'm way behind myself. I've been catching up on things I wouldn't normally have read, like Ghost Rider, and am neglecting comics I know I love, like Spider-Man.

And from what i'm told, it's painful at first...then it's great.

You should ask Dagger about this, or Jarrod. i'm a top, they ain't.

Guardians is OK, but it's no Warlock and the Infinity Watch.

Hey everyone -

I'm a newbie, but have been reading CBR for a while now. I don't know if this is the right thread to post in, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I want to do a cover up tattoo on my arm of a forest scene and I'd like it to have a comic-art feel to it. Does anyone know of any good comics/artists/scenes I might be able to use for inspiration? Any scans? Preferably a dark/evening forest or tree scene.

I was hoping to not have to go to my parent's house and go through my stacks and stacks of comics if someone here could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!!!!

I'm a newbie, but have been reading CBR for a while now. I don't know if this is the right thread to post in, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I want to do a cover up tattoo on my arm of a forest scene and I'd like it to have a comic-art feel to it. Does anyone know of any good comics/artists/scenes I might be able to use for inspiration? Any scans? Preferably a dark/evening forest or tree scene.

I was hoping to not have to go to my parent's house and go through my stacks and stacks of comics if someone here could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Some rap is beautiful.

Del the funky homosapien, Tupac, Foxxxy Brown.

Foxxy! Been so long since I've listened to her music but I loved Broken Silence. I still haven't listened to the last album she put out. Is it any good?

I agree with you. There's some good rap out there. I've always liked Lupe Fiasco, The Roots and Jean Grae.

[wolvie616]

Labeling people is not very nice

is it? that is up for the person to decide

[Bingo!]

well for one thing, the lyrics.

its not really singing in my biased opinion

and the fact its help stir up all this " oh man, that is so black" nonsense.
Wolvie, I respect you, but clearly you don't know how fun and non-black rap really is. Vanilla Ice? Eminem? How about the first rapper ever, Debbie Harry?

I consider this post full of win for the mention of Foxxxy Brown.

I mention because I care.

Because of you, I'm listening to pussy control again

[Raptor]

is it? that is up for the person to decide


meh, everyone does it, admitting to it and doing it openly is when they cause problems.

My advice: do it in moderation and in the proper place.

[AcesX1X]

wolvie, forget this rap nonsense.

let's talk about your upcoming ML strategies instead.

[Bingo!]

Personally I enjoy super trashy "rap."

I never and will never agree to something as foolish and close minded as saying rap is "trash."

ok lets agree to disagree...... o wait you said we couldnt agree...... so you disagree to agree?

i have been informed that mitsaso is a formidable opponent. have you delivered your final draft to mattbib yet?

Just another funeral service

Feds get clapped too, police stay on us like tattoos
N----- only grind cause we have to
Money is power, sling crack, weed and powder
Fiends come through every hour
It's about that dollar and we nuh deal with cowards
Weak lambs get devoured by the lion
In the concrete jungle, the strong stand and rumble
The weak fold and crumble, it's the land of trouble

Dem boys approach you
Better say quick who you close to
Don't come through if n----- don't know you
Cuz people is talkin', the streets is watchin'

The life of a hustla, the life of a gambler
Dice games kill' mo' n---- than cancer

Roll up and just bum rush

For Bingo!:

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
“Go to sleep, everything is all right”

I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you

In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

Too bad it only seems
It only happens in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams.

Also, I think Peter David just accused Mikl C of having lead poisoning.

[Josef F.]

Let's do lunch.

Everyone in Aberystwyth is from Birmingham. No thanks. Josef is exempt from this rule!

You will always be exempt in my eyes. Unless I hear you using a Brummie accent.

Only Christina Strain and Fred Van Lente, but this could be subject to change.

Mikl's a Daxamite?

According to Wikipedia's definition of Daxamite... yes. This is an intriguing development.

If you'd stop pissing off other supposed "X-boarders," they wouldn't be voting for other people they don't even know just to spite you.

I think all that the corries teach us is that Joseph F must die.

You wanna meet me cause ya, know I'm freaky
And ya, wanna eat me cause ya, say I'm sexy
Got a man in Japan and a dude in Tahiti
Believe me sweety I got enough to feed the needy

Ooh! The Jump Off! Love it!

This is for my peepz
With the Bentleys, the Hummers, the Benz
Escalade, twenty-three inch rims
Jumping out the Jaguar with the Tims
Keep your bread up
And live good
East coast, west coast, worldwide
All my playas in the hood, stay fly
And if you ballin let me hear you say "Right...”

The X-Forums are plagued with gays. That makes us lazy, overall.

Excellent idea, however, I do not know if I will have time to read the multi-paged responses.

My insatiable lust for knowledge dissipates all fear. I am profiling fan-types and have a theory that requires further research.

I dunno if they are "A". They read comics afterall.

1. Golden Girls was a cute show. But I like Designing Women better.
2. That Womanizer song is soo good though! LOL, mostly I can leave her rahter than take her, she's Madonna without the longevity.
3. Preach on. Gimme some beef please.
4. She's not my favorite.
5. Who? LOL. He's so not hot.

A-Gays are the Super popular Rich/smart/"pretty" gays. I call them the Wine and Cheese Fags. In Texas, they go to more benefits than bar-b-ques.

A true "A" Gay wouldn't be caught reading comics. Except maybe Bosco.

I think it might be like UK drug classifications

Class 'A's - Are your hardcore , full on heavy drugs
Class 'B's- Are slightly edgy but lacks full abilities
Class 'C's- Are like snorting talculm powder
