Getting back to a sense of normalcy after Hurricane Sandy. We fared better than most - no heat or power for a week but no damage to the house. My biggest concern was falling trees (we lost one during...

If memory serves, there's an homage at the end of the PIXAR movie The Incredibles. There might be a screen grab of it floating around somewhere.

I'm pretty sure there is or was one in Chadwick, right up the road from Ocean Beach, Nj where my family has been vacationing for years.

When I was growing up my parents collected vintage advertising signs and had them displayed throughout the house. One of them was for Moxie. So once, while on vacation to either Rockport or Cape Cod,...

I think you may need to temper your expectations a bit - while it certainly smells like celery, it tastes more like ginger ale. I'm not a mixed drink person, but I would imagine you could mix it with...

I haven't been around much lately as I've been swamped with work. As some of you know, I started a new job in March working as the Copy Director for Showtime. One of Showtime's original series,...

As a Mets and Jets fan, sports fandom and masochism has always gone hand in hand.

Very cool. I still haven't tried Red Cream and based on the flavor descriptions here, I'm not sure I'd like it. Didn't they have a couple of different brands of Red Cream there?

Speaking of...

The one thing in common all these songs have for me is that I would change the radio station whenever any of them came on.

As far as narrative songs are concerned, there are tons of them...

Awesome - we had to pry the kids away from that train set. We wound up doing a lot in Orleans - Snow's, the Red Balloon, mini-golf (with ice cream across the street) and a Firebirds game (with tons...

Then you're really going to hate this story. Over the summer, my family and I spent a week in Cape Cod (or is it on Cape Cod?). Anyway, our very own Prince Hal recommended a massive general store...

On the subject of politics, I was raised in a politically active family of Democrats (it's a stereotype but it's mostly true - Jewish New Yorkers are almost overwhelmingly Democrats). I'm a very...

I went through a very heavy Kerouac phase after I got out of college (I'm such a cliche). I pretty much read them all, but my personal favorites were The Town and the City and Dharma Bums. I attended...

Are these the same as those records that Marvel (and possibly DC) used to release? I remember having a few of those in the mid-70s.

Listening to it right now through iTunes. My only gripe is that I can't seem to pause - I have to start over each time I've needed to take a break which is pretty annoying. But that issue aside, I'm...

Yeah, I went the terrible, sucky, patchy route. I'll have to rectify that. On a more positive note, however, I really enjoyed what I had heard so far. The two of you have a great rapport (which...

It didn't download - it opened in a separate window and started to play. Maybe that was meant to be a preview?

Hey Scott - I was just listening to your latest podcast and it stopped at 6:44 (you and Kat were discussing A Dangerous Method). I'm pretty technically inept so I'm sure I did something wrong. Any...

11 years ago today I lost one of my best friends in the WTC. A mutual friend sent me this and I thought I'd share...

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day...

One of the more disappointing combos for me was Walt Simonson and Al Milgrom in Detective. At that point, I had only seen Simonson's work on Manhunter and based on that, the art inked by Milgrom was...

I got his autograph at a convention on an index card and his signature looked exactly like that (except he stacked the "Gil" and the "Kane" on the card).

In 1972, I spent a lot of time in the backseat of my parents' yellow VW Beetle. I was 4 going on 5, so they controlled the radio and the 8-track player. Going by the Billboard Top 100 for 1972, these...

This happens to be my favorite era of comics but a great deal of that probably is due to nostalgia as this represents the time I was introduced to comics. So I second everyone else's recommendations...

My copy of Avengers #93 had been shot with a BB gun. I bought it at a convention and when I took it out of the bag a small pellet fell out and that's when I discovered the small hole close to the...

I used to get this a lot - not necessarily the whole issue but definitely a few pages. I still get it sometimes with newer magazines.
