In which The Bitter Guy perpetrates science!

Oh, man. I never knew peanut butter could go stale. Isn't that why they pack it full of sugar and preservatives?

Okay, maybe I should have caught on when I noticed the pools of oil settling in the knife carved crevasses, but... Christmas, that's ugly. It tastes like disappointment.

Just spoke to a bank teller from Napanee over the phone regarding our payment address. Oh, my, I'm suddenly very, very homesick.

You know what I miss? The old Batman and Green Arrow stories where they'd have these big reunions of their various international counterpats. Like GA would have the GAs of the world together, and there would be the Green Arow of Brazil with his Bolo Arrow, or the Green Arrow of England with his "Tea Arrow and crumpets", and they'd all have a wig wearing useless girlfriend of some kind. Or Batman would meet the Batmen of the World, and they'd all throw their Batarangs making strange foreign quips, and the Jokers of the World would fall down all tangled up.

That was the good shit.

Hauptmann Deutschland was just lame. I don't know what's worse, DC's crappy international heroes (Oh, Christ, don't fucking MENTION the Global Guardians. The Little Mermaid? Tasmanian Devil?) or Marvel's crappy international heroes (Shamrock, anyone?). The funny thing is the only decent non-American hero is from a fake country.

Feh. Tired. Have a good weekend.

The Protocols of the Elders of Islam:

And ever since 1946, every inhabitant of the old Caliphate has dreamed of a day when they reunite under a single capital.
