My wife put this one on ours screensaver: "in this house we butter our bacon", which is followed by "bacon up that sausage, boy!" Lisa to Homer, about what she does to cope with being ostracized for being smart: tai chi and chai tea. My absolute favorite is from a recent episode: "Son...

I'm a huge Red Wings fan, though I also root for the Blues, except in head-to-head combats. For a few years I was a Sharks fan, since they were the local team, and now I watch a lot of Bruins action on NESN. I love being in Vermont, because in addition to ESPN, ESPN2 (love NHL2Night), there is...

Stan Sakai-Usagi Yojimbo rocks! Terry Moore-SIP-the only comic my wife will read Alan Moore (no relation :p)-Swamp Thing, Watchmen Jeph Loeb-Batman Long Halloween, Dark Victory Chris Claremont (he writes X-treme X-Men? I've been avoiding it because of the title, but I guess I'll have to...

WayneLigon, can you remind me what story arc that was in, so I can buy the trade? Another thing I think is a good idea (so far) is the Ultimate line. I read Ultimate X-Men, because they haven't screwed over my favorite characters yet. Mainly, Colossus is alive, so that is a huge plus. I...

Worst ideas IMHO: DK2 Superman Blue/Red- I mean, really, electric powers? containment suit? two Supes? The current Uncanny X-Men, Nightcrawler as the son of Satan, and Archangel appears to actually be an angel. Come on. Magneto on drugs, New X-Men. I would have thought M was more...

Astro City: all, but especially the stories that focus on the lives of the non-superpowered citizens Usagi Yojimbo: all, for the mix of Japanese mythology, history, and anthropomorphic animals (after I got Oriental Adventures the first character I made was a samurai rabit shape changer)...

I have a vastly different interpretation of what will happen. I think Ben will heal Ruthie, but kill Apollonia in doing so. In the previews of next week's show it showed someone closing her eyes. I do think that Scudder (or Scutter?) is not out to hurt Ben. I think Ben is just confused about...

Blue: Jean Grey/Phoenix Colossus Wolverine Shadowcat Archangel Gold: Polaris Havok Nightcrawler Iceman Beast Leader: Cyclops (more trustworthy than Magneto)

What if the cyborgs work for another branch of W&H? The Senior Partners might be unhappy with the way Angel is running things, so they send some operatives from the another branch to take control of him. Maybe they have always had a mole in the Watchers council, and that's how they got the...

a small request I've never read the O'Brian books, so I would like to know how the movie is on the basis of a naval movie. The faithfulness of adaptation is one of the biggest complaints of the otherwise stellar LoTR, but for those that never read Tolkien they are excellent movies. So I ask...

I agree with A2Z about the good/evil thing. I think Justin (Alexei?) became a man of God because he was afraid of the power within him, but now that he feels God has abandoned him, he will give into that power. I also think it's good that Ben finally used his power. Can anyone help me figure...

UCSC is the red-headed stepchild of the UC system. It was designed to emulate the experience of smaller private schools, and hence the campus was divided into several smaller colleges, each with its own theme. The focus was on teaching, with a high teacher:student ratio. Over the years, it...

You are right, except that on the third Buffy Halloween ep it was a group of young vamps causing trouble, leading Spike to complain that they were "giving us [vamps] all a bad name", or something to that effect. I guess I just expected something different. Oh, what were the trailers for...

LightPhoenix: Ah, now I remember. I think I stopped watching because of her. Thanks for jogging my memory. I was just thinking, not many people reacted well when Buffy suddenly had a younger sister, but by the end of the season, Joss and the crew made it work. And since Spike is sooo less...

For the rest of the state (for the record, I grew up in East Lansing, but had family in Negaunee and Ishpeming): Michigan [Yuper] +2 Str: summers spent chopping wood for winter, winters spent carrying wood +2 Con: it gets really cold in winter, and can get surpiseingly (sp?) hot in the...

Angel likes hockey! Yay! Just another reason for me to love this show. Anyone else think that there should be a Halloween show where nothing actually happens? I mean, it was established (and disproved) on Buffy that Halloween was a time when the supernatural beings took a night off. Of...

Mini Hijack: LightPhoenix, who was introduced on Invisible Man that screwed up the chemistry? I loved that show, but missed the last bunch of episodes (which I didn't know were going to be the last episodes). To make this post relevant, my wife thinks Angel has jumped, but I don't. I, like...

Hi, I tried a few months ago to find players in the Burlington region, but everybody's game was either full, or they were taking a break from playing. So, I am expanding my search for a game. Preferably the game would meet once or twice a month. I am willing to drive as far as Rutland or...

Hey K. Lion, I've added my team, but I haven't decided on a name, so it might change a few times before monday.

As if being a lawer wasn't creepy enough. I wonder if W&H did put anything subliminal in Gunn's brain that he doesn't even know about, and that can't be detected by Lorne (if they try), but can be triggered by the Senior Partners. When Gunn left for the "tailor", did anyone else catch the...
