Zap Branigan and Magnus Robot Fighter shop at the same place
Seriously, look at those boots, and tight red shirt thingies.
Anyone want to guess where this chain of thought came from?

Welcome, one and all, to the first Hoo'd Win of 2008!
Today, two titans of the comics world come to clash in our arena (no relation to Arena, the comic series that has ripped me off, but good).
In the Red Singlet is Magnus, Robot Fighter! This hero hails from a future where humanity struggles to overcome its robotic overlords. Magnus is a master of anti-robot kung fu, which allows him to punch right through a robot's chest. In spite of his propensity to share fashion sense with Zap Brannigan, Magnus is a warrior dedicated to defending humanity against any robotic threats, both foreign and domestic.
The Metal Men are a cadre of robots, each fashioned after an element. Under the guidance of robosexualist Dr. Will Magnus (a coincidence?), they have partaken in a variety of missions to defend humanity against a variety of threats, from giant anthropomorphic catholic chemical vats that acheive a crude sentience, to giant flying manta rays that shoot flames, to their evil counterparts, the Death Metal Men.
Surely, this will be a battle to rattle the pillars of Robot Heaven! Who will be victorious, man or machines? You! Make! The! Call!

Jan. 9th, 2008 03:28 pmOkay, so, I was reading a recent Esquire with an interview with Johny Depp. I'll admit, I've not paid much attention to him since his 21 Jump St days. Okay, I didn't really pay much attention to him then, other than a Dennis Miller Weekend Update bit about him and Greico.
Greico! Depp! Depp! Greico! Greico and Depp! Depp AND Greico!
Anyway, I have seen a lot of movies with him in the intervening decade and a bit. Haven't seen his singing one yet. His pirate movie was okay.
Anyway, something came to my attention. Two of Depp's mentor/role models are Marlon Brando, and Hunter S. Thompson.
Sweet God. We're lucky he hasn't broken up and begun to burn up in the atmosphere.

Jan. 9th, 2008 04:25 pmSo, after reading Torontoist's piece on Pho restaurants, YHB was jonesing for some Franco-Vietnamese soup. A quick visit to Google Maps showed that the closest Pho restaurant to my place is, in fact, just around the corner.
From my old house.
Feh. Or rather, Pho-ey.
