thebitterguyI would like, if I may, to go back in time to a strange reminiscence from my youth.
Once upon a time, YHB was standing in his FLCS (the last one I can recall) perusing the new issue of Strikeforce: Morituri when I noticed that one of the characters was named Justin. Hey, I exclaimed, this character has the same name as I do! This is a wonderful thing, as very few characters in the comics industry have my name.
Yes, that's true, remarked Tom, the comics store guy. There are very few comics characters named Justin! Ha ha ha!
Yes, said a goofy shmuck, I also have no comics characters with my name.
At this point, I turned and punched the goofy shmuck in the neck, very hard. Then I beat him viciously around the head and neck with an oversized copy of the Batman/Hulk crossover. Because, you see, goofy shmuck was named Bruce. For those of you who don't read comics, two of the most popular comics characters EVER are named Bruce. One of them is Batman, the other is the Hulk. Hence, the amusing synchronicity of my beating item of choice.
I mean, seriously. It's like someone said "There's no black guys who can play rock n' roll." "What about Jimi Hendrix?" "Okay, other than him." The door opens to a vicious beating.
