Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

[Caldwin]

So I just watched a Youtube video that mentioned Nantucket in passing and I had a sudden realization. "There once was a man from Nantucket." No joke, I honestly don't know how the rest of this goes because no one ever says the rest of it. They only ever say this one line and leave the rest in the air. I realize that the joke is that it's understood the rest of the rhyme is something...dirty. But I've never heard it. I'm beginning to wonder if there actually is a rest of the rhyme or if someone just came up with that one phrase and forever just meant for it to be that one line and said "oh, the rest of it? Oh, I can't say that. It's dirty!"

 

[Haywire]

Honestly, you aren't alone. A quick Google search and...yeah, the rest of the limerick exists. Actually several rest of the limericks. Some...cleaner than others.

I'm totally mad at a Amazon seller, I ordered Retro Seaspray from them, it was dispatched back on the 28th, yet tracking showed no movement since then and it was due to arrive yesterday, now I got to try and get my money back from them!!

This may belong in P&R... but I guess we'll see.

Kirk's better than Picard, But Stewart is better than Shatner.

Discuss.

Edit:
For those wondering why I'm bringing up Star Trek out of nowhere: Cary Kagawa died recently, so I watched License to Kill and Mortal Kombat. While going through IMDB I found out he was the bailiff in Q's court in the first episode.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It depends. If this is going to be a fight, you want Kirk on your team. If you can still talk your way out of this, you want Picard.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Kirk is an action hero, Picard is a diplomat. Which does not mean that Kirk can't negotiate or Picard can't kick your ass.

Just had my first ever Jehova's Witness ring the doorbell. Dog's going deaf so she didn't hear/bark. About 10 seconds into their spiel, I said "no thanks, I'm good", and that was that. Honestly way less of a hassle than most solicitors.

My favorite interaction like that was with a couple of nice young Mormon boys when I was in high school. They walked up while I was working on my car, and started with the usual "do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior?" opener, to which I replied "sure, if you want to crawl under here with me on the gravel and help me fix this muffler first."

They then politely offered to leave me some literature and wandered off down the road.

 

[Caldwin]

"Sure! I'm kinda busy tonight. But if you want to come over Sunday, I was going to bring out some candles and my pentagram table for a D&D game night with my Hellfire Club group. We'll have Ozzy and Metallica."

 

[CoffeeHorse]

That Jehovah Witness I've been filibustering all year still visits, but he's not even trying to get to his spiel anymore. He just stops by to say hi now. I might be able to save this guy.

I've been having a bit of s shitty day, waking up before my alarm goes off, feeling tired all day, being ticked off at my local Supermarket Pharmacy for cancelling my flu jab apointment with no reason given as to why, so my day has been loosy at best, but I just got to look forward to the end of tomorow and then I get a day off after 9 days of work and maybe then I can focus on some other things like sticking some hooks to the side of the garage to put some lights on it!!

So it's been established that Superman is from a planet that has (had) a red sun. The source of his powers comes from being around the yellow sun of earth.

Did DC ever establish what would happen if one of us weak ass Earthlings ever got near a red (or other color) sun?

 

[Tuxedo Prime]

Well, supposedly, humans exposed to a white sun (the next in the OBAFGKM scale) would start exhibiting Kryptonian-scale powers as well, at least that was how it worked prior to the 1985 Crisis.

As with exposing oneself to GMO spider bites, one would probably get cancer first (from the increased radiation output of the star), but the Silver Age lore tended to go more by Rule of Cool and Science As Indistinguishable From Magic, so.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

It would work out exactly as a given author wants it to work.

It's 5:30. Why haven't I gone to bed yet?

It's 5:30. Why haven't I gone to bed yet?

Who knows!!

I'm finally on my day off from work, its been a LONG week and the other day I was feeling a bit under the weather generally, but not now, I'm back to normal, normal as one can be!

20 years of following comics and I still don't know what Apocalypse's powers are.

 

[Caldwin]

They're what ever serves the plot at the time.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

His mutant power is deus ex machina.

 

[unluckiness]

To think they only made him up because an editor rightly thought that having a D-list Daredevil villain be the mystery final boss for their X-Men comic run was a lame idea.
