September will mark 15 years in Houston and with my current employer and one year with The Boyfriend.

September will likewise mark two years with Blaze.

We should double-celebrate!

The Bizarrotron is a device utilized by Spaceman Spiff to measure how weird an alien is.

All aliens are scored on a Weirdness Level.

As any reading above zero indicates alien life, the Bizarrotron is also basically an alien detector.

There are 8 birthdays in my immediate family this month -

Me

I am NOT a little teapot, short and stout.

I am more like a long neck beer bottle.

The first Bundt™ pan was made in 1949.

Just as I was posting in the Lash Bait thread about how much Miley annoys me these days, her new music video came on the TV.

Eerie.

The first line spoken by the character Frieda in "Peanuts" was "How do you do, Charlie Brown? I have naturally curly hair."

Yesterday, one of the "sister" mills of the one I work at had to shut down because an employee was badly hurt in an accident.

I think people actually like how violent the DC comics are now.

(I don't think that's true for most of us on the Boards though!)

I overheard someone today say Angela is a whore's name... pretty random...

We can be so judgmental as a species. Sometimes I think some people just get so tired of thinking that they use all sorts of unreliable mental shortcuts.

I is be drunk right now because I fell off a ladder yesterday and my knee is giving me hell. But tequila means you don't feel any pain, but must type about four times the normal amount just to get it right. Yeeeeeeee ha.

The recent earthquake that hit the provinces of Cebu, Bohol and Siquijor damaged a lot of national heritage churches (none of them have UNESCO status YET).

Well, that sucks mightily, IB. I hope there is money for rebuilding/ reclamation.

Thanks, rick. I think there is money (if we can stop gov't crooks from stealing it!)

How have you been doing? Watcha drinking right now?

The current LW FB banter reminds me that I'm probably the only fan ever who ships Gim/Yera/Cham.

Fandom really can be "a cold and lonely corner of hell" if you're a born contrarian. [grumble]

Also, I totally broke my thumbnail today! Double proof that life SUCKS!!11

On an actual serious note: Sorry to hear about rickshaw1's knee and the earthquake in IB's country. (I just saw some photos of the aftermath yesterday. So sad.)

For what it's worth, Cleome, I can relate to some extent, because I've only ever met one other fan who feels the same way I do about Sarya's death (in a nutshell, we dislike it thoroughly) and she hasn't posted in years. Her name was stephbarton.

[snip]



I remember her! (Steph, that is.) I wish she was still around.

Sarya is an all-time favorite of mine, so I hear you both on that one.

Hooray!! Someone agrees with steph and me!

In the words of Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter, "You are not alone...you are not alone."

I am (slightly) less ashamed of my penchant for non-canon human-alien threesomes than I am of my ongoing de-randomization of this thread.

I think the actual way they wrote Sarya's death was good, and it made sense storywise. But fabulous villains are always in such short supply in the Legion-verse. I hate to see even one removed for good. (Well, "for good" is a relative term in comics, but you know what I mean...)

I really liked Sarya as a villain. Actually, all of the fatal five made very interesting first appearances. She developed into a favourite. I was sorry to see her go, but as cleome47 said, it was a very good story, with good Giffen art too.

While Legionnaires come back through the revolving door of death, the Emerald Empress has had a succession of lesser replacements. Although I like the Mad Harriot look of the most recent one.

Random form the web: Carnivorous animals will not eat another animal that has been hit by a lightning strike.

I don't think I've ever talked about it, but the Empress' death was exactly a high point for me either.
To me she was the perfect villain.
Thheeenn they went and not only tried to give her a shred of humanity, her unrelenting evil was blamed on her eye AND they essentially had her suicide.
A poor end for one of the most magnificent villains to have graced the pages of Legion.
