A group of friends and I were walking to a bar when one of us - I'll call him Knothead (who wasn't paying attention) - ran smack into a light pole complete with a resounding "ptt-tong" sound effect. Hilarious in a slapstick sort of way. Then, after having our fill of Miller Lite, we were on the way back and I was laughing and joking about Knothead walking into the light pole, when I walked into the very same light pole. Hilarious in a divine justice sort of way. We all pretty much lost it, and I laughed so hard I cried (plus it hurt).

Although I like a glass of wine or a margarita quite a lot, I think my very favorite is a good scotch.

Does it have to be supported by one of the enumerated powers of Congress?
Regardless, I would like a law that reformed our election process. Shorten the time for the election; make it possible for third, fourth, fifth, sixth party candidates; limit the amount of money that can be spent; get a standardized system of voting (ballots, methods of voting); and go to a direct vote (no more Electoral College)

I would want to observe one year of Jesus's ministry.

Harry Potter. The long hard (for me)to pronounce and similar names in LOTR tips the scales towards Harry Potter.
Astaire Pavlova Baryshnikov Markova,
Do you dance at weddings?

I haven't been to a wedding in about nine years, so I would have to say no.

Arm Fall Off Boy
Now starring in his own DC Comic, September 2011!

Aside from the art on threeboot #47, and knowing it'll probably be the same or worse on #48 (Quote from Shooter "but we subsequently added an in-continuity, two-issue fill-in to buy time for [artist] Francis Manapul, who’d already needed to have two issues drawn by substitute artists."), I'd have to say post-crisis Legion of Super-Heroes #37 and 38, with the death of Superboy in Mon-El's arms.

Same question.

Hm, I'm trying to remember if there have been any recent ones. Definitely the end of New Frontier had me all teared up. And All-Star Superman #10 the same.
But All-Star Superman #6, probably the best single issue in comics in the last ten years, was probably it. I really did silently and quietly have a little cry when I read it. It was great.
APBM,
I like this question--same thing.

I guess I don't cry easily from comics. I don't think I have done so since The Last Days of the Justice Society.
Apple Pear Butter Marmalade,
Have you had a point (or points) in your life when you did not buy comics at all?

There's a picture of my brother and me when we were about 14 and 15, respectively, leaning against branches in a tree in our grandparents' backyard. I guess that would be the last time.
APBM,
What song do you like to sing when no one's looking?

Several but the one I currently have found myself singing is "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" in preperation for Christmas. Its my favorite Christmas song (the Bing Crosby version--I like the oldest ones the best).
APBM,
When do you usually decide to fully embrace the holiday cheer? Advertising firms and radio stations usually try to go the day after Thanksgiving (though it seems more and more they go earlier each year) but many people have their own 'okay, now I can get into it' timeline.
