I assumed Jax. But Johnny Cage sounds reasonable.

“The barriers have long since been down but sometimes there [is] an imaginary barrier based on how one might see oneself.”
---asshat bob costas dripping in privilege, after noting that Gabby Douglas was the first African American woman to win the all-around in the olympics.

I dont know about that. The gentlemen involved in my Invisible barrier..broke my arm.
Dawes better elaborate on that statement..Before it does real damage.

Never liked that guy...

I wish they'd put Animal Man and Swamp Thing in that JLA fighting game.

you do realize that there is two separate parts to my post, right? the first being the always lovely Dawes praising Gabby on fox sports and speaking on her achievements and her importance. the second is a quote from costas on nbc dismissing the very real barriers faced by non-white athletes in sports like gymnastics.

Uh no.

I thought it was all from Dawes.

I stand corrected.

Two questions:

1. How does eating at a fast food chain combat "the homosexual agenda"?
2. Wouldn't it be more christlike to buy Chick-Fil-A for a local homeless shelter, instead of gorging yourself on it?

It seems to me that all of these "christians" that are protesting through poor nutrition are actually engaged in two sins; Greed and Gluttony. So how do you combat "Sin" through "Sin"? (Okay...3 questions).

If these folks were robots they would have just blown up thanks to that logical paradox.

1) Look at it like this-this is the first time someone voiced objection to a GLBT issue and not get trashed or lose their jobs (like Tim Hardaway) or get blacklisted (Danso Gordon). Instead the folks came out in droves to do business with the "enemy". All they are doing is giving that place a ton of money and attention that it wouldn't have gotten since there are so few of those places around. In my area there is only 1 and I can only think of 4 others in Dallas/Fort Worth area. For the most part they STAY empty once breakfast is over. This is the most I have seen them packed.

2) When you do stuff to help others-the media don't show up.

I just stumbled upon this. Never heard of her before, but this is awesome!

[Froggy]

dang she's pretty greg

who else haveyou 'stumbled' upon

[Genki Sudo]

I'm going to add Stormwatch to that list. Milligan writes a great Midnighter and Apollo and seeing their relationship develop is very fun.

I dropped it due to horrible writing and Miligan is keeping that trend going, none of the old Wildstorm characters in this book are close to how they use to be and as far as them being completely new they fail at even being interesting let alone functioning as a team which they can't even do

Ugh, this thread!

And that is why I just don't like that poster, he's up there with another one I just can not stand to see posting even though I blocked that poster

Also randomly

Well, we differ in opinions on the book. I never really checked out too much of the other stuff but I have read bits of Apollo and Midnighter and always dug them. But I really enjoy Milligan's work on this book and his penning of these two characters, mostly. It also seems he's hugely appreciated on this book, I'm seeing lots of praise for it, especially from the people who hated the prior issues since the relaunch.

There's been discussion on Brevoort's Formspring about Elba's role in Thor and I was gonna let it go but then I saw the comments on this one.
