The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:
The rules:
1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!
2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.
3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.
4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.
Here's a history of our various felons, along with a few missed opportunities.....

Helen Mirren and her ex were apparently unaware they'd both been cast in Excalibur. It apparently pleased the film's makers to see them trying to out compete each other and the tension their scenes brought.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."
Claremont started out great at both plots and dialogue, but by the time he (involuntarily) stopped writing the X-Men after 17 years, he was awful at BOTH!
I have the perception that Wolfman/Perez also fizzled out a bit towards the end of their great run. I am only basing this on my half-remembered impressions from reading though.

That's a good comparison. Arguably, it was the repercussions of Crisis on Infinite Earths that ultimately killed Titans. Wolfman got writer's block, Perez had a nervous breakdown, and both were burned out.
Another obvious comparison is with Levitz's Legion, although as critical as I am of much of the second half or so of the Baxter run, I'm not sure it quite reach the lows of the other two.

Well said, EDE. I think Levitz should have quit right after The Greatest Hero of Them All/The Death of Superboy.
Poirot looked in turn at each face, collected in the drawing room. Each with a motive to have commited this most dreadful of crimes. Some countenances were nervous, even fearful. Others outwardly calm, a brave front against hidden secrets. Poirot's small, but firm cough brought all to attention. "The murderer is

In fact, when my wife thinks of the B-52s, she thinks of Private Idaho or Rock Lobster.
Nope, for me its Love Shack.
It's Love Shack for me as well.
I also adore the song of theirs that goes, "Shake those honeybuns!" I can never remember for sure, but I think it's titled Cosmic Thing. They did an awesome performance of it on an early 90s episode of Saturday Night Live.

Always found it funny that Cos and Imra had some of the most revealing costumes. Especially Imra already having shades of her future "cold" and hyper competent characterization.
For Cos, I think the shades of his hyper-responsible characterization started a bit later.
To be honest, I've never read a story with either generation of Bloodstone in it. Unless glancing at an issue of Nextwave and recoiling in repulsion counts.
Well, I did too until Abnett & Lanning got a hold on them.
I went back and re-read the lettercolumn for LSH 125 when McAvennie all but admits that the characters will be, well, acting out of character. Maybe I should have read that lettercol before reading the rest and saved myself a lot of pain.

I think Legion of 3 Worlds is awful. I'm glad Geoff Johns is leaving DC after he wraps up JSA. It's not just the gore, it's also the meanness and the paternalism.
I was skimming through Legion of 3 Worlds, just the other day. Lovely art. Story that contained a number of plot points that couldn't have sunk more, if you called them Lead and allowed them to join the Metal Men.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."
I think the issue where Myg made his first appearance (Baxter Legion #13, drawn by Steve Lightle) is a very good stand-alone story. Myg himself...well, if Lightle hadn't left so soon, Myg might have lived up to his potential.

Yep, the art was great. The story was just a Superboy Prime feature with the Legion as cannon fodder.

Agree, 3 Worlds was a very unsatisfying story for me overall, as a Legion fan
It was mainly the Retroboot team getting their good moments, with a few from the Reboot team / the one small thing I did like were the moments highlighting the Reboot team’s camaraderie and collaborative spirit
Its funny, after reading these comments about Lo3w, other discussions around the DnA era elsewhere and my own readings of the Hickman Marvel era, I've been slowly drifting over to reading more Marvel stuff more recently.
Older Marvel, to be sure, but still.
