rickj gave me the letter G. I must mention 10 things that start with that letter. If you want a letter, just shout out.

The G-Unit.

Garou: I enjoyed Werewolf:the Apocalypse way back when. I'll admit, I can be easy to please, but I even enjoyed the first ed tribebooks, which apparently marks me for judicious termination.

Gas: Since I own a Smart, I don't buy gas anymore. I buy diesel, and a whole lot less of it.

Gaunt Man: Never really dug TGM, really; he seemed too cocky, even for a high lord. And Orrorsh just seemed like a bad idea, what with it's required PC deaths. Very against the base concepts of Torg. Nile Empire, however, that was cool.

Guns: Never fired one. Odd, since I've been in the boy scouts, the reserve, and Atlanta. I'm sure, as Jack Thompson will aver, years of video games have turned me into a cold blooded killer.

Gumbo: I enjoy all spicy foods, but a good Gumbo or Jambalaya will make me very, very happy.

Guest-Stars: My nickname for any actor who appears in one of Christopher Guest's largely improvised comedies. A talented, quick moving bunch, which includes at least a couple Canucks.

Guardian: Before he got all guilty and became Vindicator, James Macdonald Hudson (and can you HAVE a more English-Canadian name?) called himself Guardian. Okay, he called himself Weapon Alpha, too, but that doesn't start with a G. I don't know if he's ever come back from the dead permanently, but he was always a good character. Smart, charismatic, yet occasionally doubting of his actions.

Great Big Sea: I love these guys. A talented group of musicians from Newfoundland, they have taken the music of the Coast around the world.

George Lucas: Well, I guess he's finally come to his senses. Huzzah! Han shot first!

Green Lantern Corps: Okay, stretching a bit, but I enjoyed the tales of the Green Lanterns. The idea of this interplanetary police force empowered to do right was always cool. I'd rather read a good Tales of the GLC story than a solo tale with any of the human ones.

So, yeah. I'm going to bed now.

The good people, doing the hard work

Interesting stuff.

(no subject)

Hey! umario! Wal Mart just bought 39,000 Megawatts (is that 39 Gigawatts?) of carbon credits! How does that make you feel?

A wee conundrum

Hmmm. Well, YHB is hankering to go to his FNSLCS tonight to pick up a trade, maybe some SW:CMG figs, and maybe the first ish of Civil War and the last of IC (Glutton for punishment, thy name is TheBitterGuy).

Okay, well, the way I tried to get Cynra interested is to suggest we can also go for some burritos at Chorizo as well. She seems up for that.

But, I realized tomorrow is Cinqo de Mayo. I’m sure it would be somewhat appropriate to visit a Mexican food place on the day the Mexicans beat the French (and, hey, who would the Yanks cheer for in THAT fight?).

But I really am jonesing for the mega burritos. Conundrum, indeed!

Ohhh, I can dig

EW's Popwatch" hears from Variety that FF2 will have as the guest star the Silver Sufer. I wonder if that means the big bad (literally) will be Galactus?

It would be good to skip the Dross (Red Ghost & Mole Man), but it might have been nice to see Namor.
