that probably explains why there was no second date

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.

I think I'm gonna need to flail at you in real time, via IM, because. Because. BECAUSE!

It occurs to me that an issue of Green Lantern could be otherwise execrable and written by...by... ROB LIEFIELD, but if the last four pages contained a Green Lantern, ANY Green Lantern, preferably more than one, chanting the oath, my heart would seize up in abject adoration anyway. I get all verklempt.

I shall go read that thread. I'm still moving very slowly and barely coherent this morning.

I also LOVED Hank Henshaw saying to Supes "You can't kill me" and Supes replying "to be honest, I've never tried." BURN! PWNAGE!

DOH!
Daaaaaamn.
He just dropped the entire moral high ground on that whiny Terminator ripoff!
OOOOO.
Sorry. There's a wrestling pay-per-view tonight, and I'm warming up.

I think that was the best Supes moment I've read in the last five years.

Well, one of three. The other two:

1. "Bill, do you have any money? I hate to ask, but my wallet got burned up when you threw me into the sun."

2. The final pages of JLA and Hitman. Penned by GARTH ENNIS, no less. I teared up and actually cried, it was so poignant. Like Chris Sims said, who knew that GARTH ENNIS would write the best Superman story in years?

1. Hee.
2. I haven't teared up like that since the last issue of HITMAN...or the end of PREACHER...or when Warren had to kill off STORMWATCH because Jim Lee needed his WildCATs to survive against the Aliens.
Or when Hal told Sinestro to leave Ollie and Kyle the HELL alone.
I may have marked out like a beatch for THAT.

Oh, I LOVED that moment in GL #25 last week when Hal SMASHED into Kyllax and knocked him off the balcony! 'TWAS AWESOME! I jumped up and cheered, just like I did reading that "get the hell away from them" line in Rebirth! Yes!

It was Winter 2004, and I was miles from home in a snowstorm (if you look at a map of CT, I was at the point where the state is actually exposed to the Atlantic.)
I pulled into the state's best comic shop and started reading...and I just about wept.
The two older boys and I read GL at the grocery store, but 25 hasn't come in yet. We're all looking forward to the restoration of Mr. Rayner and the pursuant whipping of much yellow ass.

I teared up at the "Get the HELL away from them" moment as well.

The last time I really cried with a comic had to be Guy, Bea, and Tora in Hell. Halfway though, I gasped and teared up when Guy, Guy Gardner of all people, just whispered, "Please come back. Please come back."

And the last page... punch in the gut. More true emotion there than in the entire INFINITE CRISIS.

IC sucked worse than a five-dollar truckstop whore. It may not have wanted to, but boy howdy, it DID.
That moment in Rebirth is why I read comics again.

That and MAX Punisher #50.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

You made me read that, and that was powerful. Very powerful. I IMed you the night I read it and told you I was tearing up too, remember?


Oh, and issue #50 of MAX PUNISHER! When Frank fantasizes about what life would be like if Maria and the kids had lived? About the "matchless summer night" and holding her on the balcony and having dinner with his grandchildren? That yanked my heart out. Oh, god, that was so hard to read.
