I don't get around much; the only LWer I've met face to face is Outdoor Miner.
As to who I'd like to meet . . . too numerous to list. (Though I can imagine having coffee with cleome if mr. cleome doesn't mind.)
APBM,
How long have you been following the Legion, and what has been the single greatest change in your understanding or appreciation of the Legion?

42, 43 years, sort of. Used to get it off the spinner rack then one day it seemed to .. sniff.. it abandoned me. So I went on with my 10 year old life.
In Spring 89, while walking with my girlfriend in Cannes, Australia, I saw a spinner rack on the sidewalk. I still remember the excitement (sad I know). Guess what was on the rack? Lol
After madly spending the next month collecting everything that I'd missed I arrived at my single greatest understanding of Legion and comics in general.
Legion historians will note the timing of my discovery.
There's a real world that affects what is written and published and even if it is published. Takes a bit of the kid's fantasy away but has added a great deal also, Legionworld for one and that's why this question was pertinent to me so...

I'm about 90 percent sure that I started reading the back issues at a friend's house when I was in my mid-teens. I didn't start buying my own until a few years later.
It's possible that I appreciate the amount of work that goes into these things more than I once did; I mean now that I've washed out of any attempt to draw and write comics and can appreciate just how damn hard it is.
(HWW, I'm pretty sure the old man will let me out of the house long enough for a coffee. Or, if you're not allergic to cats, you can just come over to the house. )

Is there some food, style of music, or whatever, that you hated as a kid-- but now you can't live w/o it?

Believe it or not, when I was a little kid, I was bony as hell and hated pretty much everything but cereal, spaghetti and Peanut butter & jelly! Among the things it took me forever to warm up to were pizza, cheese and tacos! Man, now there's almost nothing I don't like, hence the "Lard Lad" and the uphill battle I face to finally de-lard myself.

Nope ... mostly because of the blonde hair and blue eyes I sported as a wee sharkling ... compared to the black (increasingly 'salt & pepper') hair and green eyes I've got now ... that, and I no longer have my hair in a bowl cut ...

The only thing I put on my hamburger is pickles. A lot of times I eat it without anything.
APBM,
What would you order for your last meal before being executed?

A black bean burger with lots of pickles and a side of sweet potato fries. Also, my partner's homemade blueberry sorbet (extra heavy on the vodka...in fact, just give me the whole bottle on the side).

Hmmm, beat the crap out of the little sheets or.... Saturn Girl might seem an obvious choice for a teacher, to clarify misunderstanding and find out who put the gang tag on the desk but...
A good day at teaching is when my personality hits just right and thus, no power needed: Chuck Taine. He is someone who is fun, doesn't take himself too seriously, knows where the line is, dated three girls (very important when teaching 14 year old boys and girls who are all about romance) and he is a natural born teacher. Plus I'd bet he'd do a mean stanky leg.

What's your favorite cool off summer time snack plate or whatever (and I think I'd like Ram Boy's recipe for the blueberry vodka sorbet).

Just about anything involving fresh lettuce + homemade salad dressing as a base. (Can't wait for affordable Vidalia Onions to come into season. They make a fantastic dressing.)

No, and I blame air conditioners for the decline of civilization. Long story. But there's no need for an air conditioner in this part of the world.

Do you think Atlantis really existed, or did Plato just make it up for a good story?

As with most legends, Atlantis is probably based on a real event, perhaps of a city that was destroyed. I do not believe it actually existed on a continent.

Fact, I saw him/her. Of course, that Scottish brew is a bit stronger than I'm used to, so there's room for doubt. Seriously? I think there may be truth to the story. I certainly want to believe so anyhow.
