that probably explains why there was no second date

[thehefner]

So I recently realized what may have gone wrong with my attempts to court the cute hippie chick. Having her over to my house wasn't the biggest mistake, nor was my decision to show her THE NINTH CONFIGURATION. And I know many of you are rolling your eyes at that one, but no, it wasn't as stupid a choice as it might seem. I chose it for a very good reason that pertained to her interests! I just don't remember exactly why. But that's all besides the point.

No, I think the main flub of the evening came when we were on my bed, watching the movie and getting close, and I noticed she had a tear in her jeans. This particular tear was way, wayyyy up at the very top of her legs, an inch or so higher than Daisy Dukes would be, had they been cut off all the way. You know, a tear that revealed a nice window to her butt.

So in an attempt to be witty and flirty, I pointed to the tear, smiled, and remarked:

"I like your butt hole."

...

It was weeks before I realized what I said.

Clearly, I need to work that into a story. I just don't know where.

Being killed by G'Nort! A lot!

Somehow, I hope it's Kilowog that gets to smack Emoboy Prime into the next galaxy.

It looks like SBP is allllll Sodom Yat's. Alan Moore's Uber-GL to the rescue!

Re: PS.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

What is Sodom Yat's deal, anyway? I confess that I've been trying to find out more about him, and failing. Also, Arisia needs to put some goddamn bra straps on that bustier of hers.

He was from Alan Moore's GLC story about the Empire of Tears. If I recall correctly, he was to be the greatest of the GLs, and the last to fall in the Darkest Night when the enemies of the GLC wiped them out forever. The GLC comic by Gibbons has been taking LOTS of cues from Moore's short stories (all except F-Sharp Bell, whom he haven't really seen much of yet), especially the Empire of Tears.

Hmmm. What issues of what should I read? Directions, plz!

Re: PS.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well, at least it has the word Sodom in it. The s_d types will be happy.

Re: PS.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yes, several people have said SBP will be Sodom-ized. Too easy.

Actually, I'm looking forward to that beat down. Although one wonders why Hal and Kyle and John aren't given the honor, you know?

Re: PS.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

Because it's what people expect, and we can't have THAT.
Nope.
Jerks. I should take that train ride and teach them why postal types earned that rep.
In brightest day, in busiest staff meeting, I will give you such a beating.

Re: PS.

I think Kyle deserves Sinestro, for his mother's sake.

Then again, I keep holding out for the possibility that Sinestro still has his own secret agenda. Ever since the first part, where the Bookkeeper of Sinestro revealed that Sinestro was the greatest GL and would be again, even if no one realized it... I'm hoping that it was his plan all along to push the GLC and the Guardians to the point where they'd be willing to kill, to make them stronger (and perhaps more ruthless) than they were before.

Re: PS.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I had...weird feelings about the whole shift to lethal force thing. I can't help but think that some big, heavyhanded Grand Moral Statement is coming, and it makes me a tad nervous for the Sinestro Corps storyline. Also, I'm a little weary of the Guardians constantly being picked at as somehow lacking or defective. They're the GUARDIANS. They've been at this for a BILLION YEARS. They know what they're doing! I'm...worried.

Hal dies because he doesn't have a MySpace.
John lives because he's been depicted on a NASCAR car.

S_D has been extraordinarily wanky lately. I haven't really read anything for the past five days, for obvious reasons - I can barely get out of bed because of what happened this week - but Christ, it's like the PIC abandoned ship and opened the floodgates of wanky stupidity.

Sodom. Ah, yes. Alan, Alan, you're a genius.

Re: PS.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

Yeeeah. No.
Even Neil didn't hit them ALL out of the park.
I hang out at s_d because, well, it saves me a small fortune on comic books.

Re: PS.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

I'm just so smug and happy that people finally seem to have let go of the Hal hatred there. Either that, or the Hal haters are just keeping quiet in the face of UNREMITTING ACTS OF AWESOME by my favorite Emerald Warrior.

Re: PS.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I still have to keep an eye out for ian_karkull every now and again, whose been known to seek out random moments to voice his irrational hatred for Hal, but otherwise yeah, they have. Thankfully.

Re: PS.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

Bah. They are like the buzzing of flies before the greatness that is Guthrie.

Re: PS.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

They need to sit down and shut up, because all the rational, chuckling-knowingly humanism I have so carefully trained myself to display disappears when people step to Hal.

...you were? Mr. G., my admiration for you has just shot up so high that it's achieved escape velocity.

I'm not always so incredibly touchy-feely, you know.
Really.
