Galactus, Twinkies and the trouble with pants
comics and animation, everyday glory, food for thought, geekery, music, news and info, science and technology, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...?! May 28th, 2008There are things that I could be doing around here:
- …cleaning up the dining room
- …finish sorting my ‘Clix (including the new ones I picked up last night)
- …cleaning my office and making room for a new desk
- …cooking dinner (although there are leftover Sloppy Joes in the fridge)
…instead, I’m doing none of the above.
Then I looked over at my Galactus ‘Clix.
And tried to remember where my Doomsday ‘Clix is.

I stopped short of getting the figures to duel it out, though. Just barely.
Chew on This: Food for Thought
I have proof that God, in His infinite wisdom, knew what he was doing when he didn’t grant me infinite cosmic power:
He must have known that when I read it, I would be compelled to use my power to give Michelle Malkin a telepathic lobotomy. Come ON, people… it’s a scarf. A SCARF!
Is the next thing that someone’s going to get outraged about jeans, if we happen to see a picture of someone we don’t like wearing a certain brand?! But, why stop there? Pants! ANY pants! Let’s get outraged because someone – somewhere – who may or may not be connected to… oh, Hell… ANY organization (not even a terrorist organization)… might be wearing pants!
Dammit, Ethel! Didn’t you see for yourself that (fill in a person/archetype) was wearin’ pants?! PANTS, I say! I’ll be damned and in my grave before I ever wear pants ag’in!
Now, George… don’t say such things. You know there’s nothing wrong with…
Nope! My mind’s made up! I’m never wearin’ the damned fool things ag’in! Ever! Do you think I want ever’body in town thinking that I associate with people like that! Pants-wearing people?! Hell no! My daddy didn’t raise me that way and I’m damn sure not goin’ along with all that foolishness! In fact, I’m goin’ upstairs right now and throwin’ all them pants right out!
That kind of thinking is utterly ridiculous and asinine.
Stray Toasters
- I’m (still) taking suggestions for new musicians/bands to put on my radar.
- Cat Saves Japanese Railway
- Galactus is a force of nature. Well, he’s a cosmic entity (like Phoenix… but not, by the same token.) This goes a long way to explaining normal beings’ perception of him. Sort of like Cthulhu… but without the insanity.
- And, since I brought up Phoenix, this provides a great answer to Jean Grey’s relationship to/with Phoenix:
- Ballmer and Gates Demo Windows 7
I’m not hawking Windows; I was just amused by some of the mid-article comments/asides. - Green Beret electrocuted in shower on Iraq base
- Fact: Galactus has been prevented from eating Earth… by Hostess Twinkies.
- MacBook Air sharp enough to slice bread, bone human flesh
- I don’t need a hand-held mixer, but I want one.
- Iron Man Rockets Into Space: For Real
Okay, time to heat up some Sloppy Joes and give some thought to hanging out in Paragon City.
Namaste.

I am not a Michelle Malkin fan, but I have read her stuff enough to know that this is a specific thing she has noticed and she’s trying to get the word out.
Apparantly many celebrities have been given these scarves, which in the middle east represent pro-jihad and anti-Israeli sentiment, without being told their meaning. If I were on TV wearing what some wardrobe person handed me, I’d want to know if it carried symbolism for a cause I don’t agree with…and preferably before I go on the air so I could decide whether I want to wear it.
