It's time for what has become my weekly update to this blog as I can't seem to get around to posting more often than that.
I heard a radio commercial for Tucker Carlson's new show "The Situation". The commercial claims the show to inform, entertain, and for some reason, improve your dating life. I can see the last two, but inform, Tucker, honestly?
New editions to the comics library:
-Lucifer Vol 8: One interesting way to tell the story of Ragnorok
-Thor: Disassembled: Another Ragnorok story. Also good.
-PvP: The Dork Ages: I can't believe I've waited this long to buy this, but a great independent comic strip.
-She-Hulk Vol 2: Worth the price of admission for the Howard the Duck cameo.
-Ultra: Seven Days: Post-modern comics meets sex in the city. Neat little book, beautifully designed. Looking forward to the Luna bros. next outing.
I saw Fantastic Four yesterday, and I gotta say I enjoyed the movie a lot. I went in with low expectations and determination to enjoy the film, and came out at the very least whelmed (I know you can be overwhelmed, and that you can be underwhelmed, but can you just be whelmed. I think you can in Europe. Major geek points for the first to id that quote) The movie was intimate and cut to the core of the FF: here's a semi-dysfunctional family trying to get by in world complicated by superpowers and celebrity.
Via Wonkette via the NY Post: Ex Con and general whackjob G. Gordon Liddy: "If a man wants to cheat [on his wife], I would give him the same advice I would give a man who was tempted to try heroin. Don't do it. It is addictive."

-A new Jibidy is in the works, it's been written, will be shot and hopefully up on A-M.co sometime this week. And get this, it'll close out the current "Ninja Fight" arc and actually get Jibidy and Co. back on the hunt for Scurvy Steve's birth parents. I'm also working on the the next chapter of Dayspring, though honestly, it is still a couple weeks out.
More to maybe come later...

AFI recently honored the 100 greatest movie quotes. You can see it here. I'd like to honor some that didn't make the list:
"I swear to God I'll pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans!" - Supertroopers
"We are the knights who saw Ni!" - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." The Princess Bride
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." Billy Madison
More to come!

Law of Conservation of Hanging Things
I finally got my Bone poster up on my wall:
And within 12 hours, the Pirates poster came down off the wall in mysterious circumstances:
The only possible explanation ins that the AC repair people had to take it down when they were working the other day, even though the AC unit is nowhere close to where the poster was. Intriguing...

There's a new issue of Captain Jibidy up on ahoy-matey.com. I know I've been really bad at getting them done lately, and I apologize. Actually, I take that back. I'm not sorry at all! (Ok maybe a little, I'm trying to get back on a regular schedule)

Presented by First Baptist Church
Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord. Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in, like those killers at Columbine. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child.
-Frequently wears black clothing.
-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.
-Wears excessive black eye makeup,lipstick or nail polish.
-Wears any odd silver jewelry or symbols.
-Shows an interest in piercings or tattoos.
-Listens to gothic or any other anti-social genres of music. (Marilyn Manson claims to be the anti-Christ, and publicly speaks against the Lord. Please discard any such albums IMMEDIATELY.)
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.
-Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible, prayer, church or sports.
-Shows an increasing interest in death, vampires, magic, the occult, witchcraft or anything else that involves Satan.
-Takes drugs.
-Drinks alcohol.
-Is suicidal and/or depressed.
-Cuts, burns or partakes in any other method of self-mutilation.(This is a Satanic ritual that uses pain to detract from the light of God and His love. Please seek immediate attention for this at your local mental health center.)
-Complains of boredom.
-Sleeps too excessively or too little.
-Is excessively awake during the night.
-Demands an unusual amount of privacy.
-Spends large amounts of time alone.
-Requests time alone and quietness. (This is so that your chid may speak to evil sprits through meditation.)
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.user posted image
-Disregards authority figures; teachers, pastors, clergy and elders are but a few examples of this.user posted image
-Misbehaves at school.
-Misbehaves at home.
-Eats excessively or too little
-Eats goth-related foods. Count Chocula cereal is an example of this.
-Drinks blood or expresses an interest in drinking blood. (Vampires believe this is how to attain Satan. This act is very dangerous and should be stopped immediately.)
-Watches cable television or any other corrupted media sources. (Ask your local church for proper programs that your child may watch.)
-Plays videos games that contains violence or role-playing nature.
-Uses the internet excessively and frequently makes time for the computer.
-Makes Satanic symbols and/or violently shakes head to music.
-Dances to music in a provocative or sexual manner.

If five or more of these apply to your child, please intervene immediately. The gothic culture is dangerous and Satan thrives within it. If any of these problems persist, enlist your child into your local mental health center.
